Chapter 1485
Raeleigh woke up the next morning and looked around the walled house for something they could
eat for breakfast. Unfortunately, she could not find any as they had devoured all the foodst night.
If they did not leave soon, they would starve to death.
Thus, the four of them left the house in search of food. The journey back took about two hours. By
the time they finally arrived on the main street, Raeleigh could barely walk anymore. So, they
decided to stop by a restaurant to have breakfast.
They were not in a rush, so they took their time to eat. By the time they returned, it was already ten
o''clock.
When they arrived, they saw a group of people standing at the door along with several paramedics.
Raeleigh walked in and saw Jepherson sitting inside with Ste. Ste was gripping Jepherson''s
hand as she sat up in bed while vomiting.
When Jepherson raised his head and saw them, Raeleigh asked, "What happened?"
Jepherson did not answer, and Ste burst into tears.
Santiago was amused by Raeleigh''s question. He could not believe that she was still concerned
about Ste after what she had done to her.
Although Xanthus was a doctor, he refused to treat Ste. So, he turned around and went back to
his room. Not wanting Raeleigh to get infected by whatever Ste had, he asked Raeleigh to follow
him back to his room as a safety precaution.
Raeleigh said, "Please call me if you need anything. I''ll be in my brother''s room."
After that, she turned around and left without looking at Jepherson.
On the other hand, Santiago was in no hurry to leave. He stood on one side and looked at Ste.
"Not used to the environment, huh?"
Ste shook her head. "No, it''s not that."
Ste gritted her teeth when she thought of the embarrassing situation where she dirtied her pants.
At the same time, she cried pitifully.
Santiago nced at Jepherson. "I feel like I don''t know you anymore."
After saying that, he left the room and went to look for Raeleigh. He knocked on Xanthus'' door, but
Raeleigh said she was too tired to entertain him. However, when Santiago said that he was there to
look for Xanthus, she opened the door to let him in.
But it turned out that Santiago had lied to her. He entered the room and smiled at her, then asked
her how she could have pretended to be concerned about Ste.
Exhausted, Raeleigh did not answer him and went to lie on her bed.
As for Xanthus, he felt insecure whenever he saw Ste. He would never forget the day when Ste
forced him to take drugs, and he nearly died of an overdose.
Ste was a wolf in sheep''s clothing. She was a dangerous woman.
When he thought of how Raeleigh''s safety was in jeopardy, Xanthus had the urge to leave with
Raeleigh immediately.
However, Xanthus did not want to let Raeleigh know about that. So, he made his ns quietly. Not
only that, he needed Santiago''s help as well.
"Raeleigh, can youe here for a second? Can you please help me wash my clothester?"
Xanthus took off his coat and put on a new one. He knew very well that Raeleigh would not refuse
his request. She even asked him to change out of the clothes he was wearing so that she could
wash them as well.
However, Xanthus refused.
After he left, Raeleigh went to do theundry before returning to bed and scrolled through her
phone.
The day passed in the blink of an eye. Raeleigh realized that ever since she met Jepherson, her
world had turned upside down. However, she knew that things would only get worse from here.
After a while, Raeleigh drifted off to sleep. By the time Xanthus came back, Raeleigh was already
sound asleep.
When Xanthus saw her sleeping soundly, he could not bear to wake her up. However, for the sake
of her safety, he did so reluctantly.
Upon opening her eyes, Raeleigh saw Xanthus standing in front of her. Without giving her the
chance to speak, he quickly motioned for her to get dressed. As she got dressed, Xanthus told her
that they had to leave Jack Town Hotel as soon as possible. She put on her clothes in a daze and
only came back to her senses when she walked out of the room.
Xanthus brought Raeleigh to Jacky''s walled house, and it waste at night when they finally arrived.
Santiago and Jacky had already dropped by earlier in the day to clean up the ce and make it
warm and cozy. After Raeleigh arrived, she immediately climbed up to the attic and covered herself
with a quilt before falling asleep.

The wind howled in the middle of the night, waking Raeleigh up. Unable to fall back asleep, she
decided to scroll through her phone messages. As she looked at them, she felt as if a knife was
stabbing her in the chest.
Raeleigh did not like deceiving herself, but whenever she was around Jepherson, she felt as if she
was deceiving everyone, including herself.
However, he did not admit it, and Raeleigh was starting to feel torn. What on earth did Jepherson
want? Raeleigh thought to herself.
The Doyle family was no ordinary family, but was there no other way to deal with them?
She sat moping. Soon, she realized that she felt cold. It felt as if she was running a fever.
She touched her forehead but found that it was not so. She was only feeling a little chilly because of
the cold weather.
Raeleigh tucked the quilt around her and wondered what Jepherson was doing at that moment.
Was he with Ste?
Even in her sleep, she sighed. Her heart was in sixes and sevens. Even she could not make sense
of her thoughts, let alone someone else.
She wrapped the quilt tightly around herself and let out a long breath. Jepherson did not mean
much to her, but at the same time, it would be a pity to lose him.
"Why aren''t you asleep?" Santiago had also been awake for a while. He did not expect that
Raeleigh would be up either. He felt that he would go crazy if he had to continue to remain silent.
Raeleigh looked at Santiago. "Leave me alone. Go back to sleep."
"You''re getting better at talking back, aren''t you?" Santiago slid one foot under Raeleigh''s quilt, but
she was quick to react. She kicked his foot, and he pulled it back immediately. "Can''t sleep?" he
asked.
"I don''t feel like talking about it." Raeleigh turned her back to him. Santiago''s voice came from
behind her, saying, "Since you''re worried, then why are you still here?"
Raeleigh still said nothing. After a long while, Santiago said, "He has his reasons. I trust him."
Instantly, the room fell deathly silent. Raeleigh could only hear the sound of the wind outside the
window.
She closed her eyes after a while. "It''ste. You should get some rest."
After saying that, Raeleigh ignored him. Santiago continued speaking for a while, but Raeleigh
pretended to sleep. Finally, he stopped talking.
At that moment, Jepherson was in his room and looking out the window. The wind was howling, and
it blew the snow against the window. In Waverly Vige, Jack Town Hotel was the best ce to be
at such a time since it was equipped with a heater. If he were somewhere else, he would have
probably frozen to death.
Jepherson had tried calling Raeleigh several times, but she did not answer her phone at all. He
worried whether she was wearing enoughyers to keep herself warm.
After staring out the window for a while, Jepherson heard a movement behind him. He turned
around and saw Ste. She looked outside and said, "Are you still worried about them?"
"Of course. One of them is the love of my life, and the other is my brother. Furthermore, there''s a
snowstorm raging outside."
He should not have let them leave.
Ste got up from the bed and looked at him. "Do you really have no feelings for me?"
Jepherson turned his back to her. "I told you, I only regard you as my sister, just like Deanna. It has
been that way since the very beginning. Why don''t you understand?
"I don''t want there to be anyplications between us, but you can''t seem to ept our
rtionship."
