Chapter 1527
As a result, Hannah went to Waverly Vige again. Meanwhile, Jenna, who was in the hospital,
stood up after deliberating for a while. "Raeleigh, Santiago and I will go back first. There must be
someone to stay and take care of them. Why don''t you stay and keep Miss Lautnerpany?"
"I got it." Raeleigh concurred with Jenna. Jepherson got up. "Mom, let Santiago stay, I''ll go back
with you. As for here, if there''s nothing else, I''lle back to change shifts with Santiago and
Raeleigh at night."
Raeleigh threw a nce at Jepherson. Since he had made such an arrangement, then so be it.
After Jenna and Jepherson left, Raeleigh made a phone call.
"Mom, something happened to Zorion. Rossie is also here. I have to stay and help taking care of
them, I probably won''t go back today."
"Sweetheart, why are you taking care of them?" Jazelle didn''t quite understand. Was this Zorion on
good terms with her daughter? She pondered on this.
Raeleigh considered momentarily. "There is no one here. I can''t really exin it. It has something to
do with Deanna and Jacky. Ask Xanthos if you want to know more."
"I see. Be careful."
Hanging up, Jazelle instantly went to ask her son what had happened. There were no other people
in the house. Hansen had gone to other ces, thus it was convenient for them to talk.
It wasn''t until Xanthus had exined the general situation to Jazelle that she finally apprehended
what was going on.
However, other people''s family issues was not her bailiwick. She still focused on her own affairs.
After Jenna and Jepherson left, Raeleigh went to Zorion''s ward, but didn''t enter. Instead, she stood
outside and looked into the ward to find that there was nothing for her to help. In fact, the reason
why she was left here was that she had nothing to do at home, and that it was not easy for her to
get out after she went back.
However, Raeleigh felt a little guilty when she sat aside. It was rare for her parents to pay her a visit,
and it seemed too unfilial of her to take care of others.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Seeing that Raeleigh was staring into space, Santiago sat beside her
and crossed his long legs. Raeleigh gazed at the wall. "The university break will be over in a few
days. I think this winter break is the longest break of my life, like, years just whizzed by."
"Whoa, aren''t you quite the drama queen." Santiago was amused. Raeleigh looked at him. "You''re
all smiley faces, twenty-four-seven. Won''t you get tired?"
"Why will I feel tired when I smile?”
"Your face is full of wrinkles when you smile."
Raeleigh squinted and leaned against the wall, intending to have a rest. She was worn out.
Santiago nced at her and lifted his arm to pull her over. He used one hand to hold Raeleigh''s
head while she was struggling to break free. Santiago told her, "Take a nap. When things are
stabilized, I''ll take you to rest outside. This hospital is a total spook house."
"Ha!" Raeleigh wanted tough. "Is there a time when you are not a nonsense-monger?"
"I love you!" Santiago said suddenly, which made Raeleigh dumbfounded. She wanted to raise her
head and look at him, but Santiago held her head down with his big hand. "Gosh, you''re too ugly for
me to even believe my own words."
Raeleigh tried to sit up straight while Santiago was looking at her. "Not only your face is ugly, but
your temper as well."
"Ugly temper?"
It was the first time for Raeleigh to hear someone supnting "nasty" with "ugly".

"Sleep." Santiago held Raeleigh in his arms. After struggling briefly, she pinched him right under his
ribs. He then let go of her due to the pain.
Raeleigh stood up and sat on the other side, closing her eyes to have a rest.
Santiago looked up at Raeleigh, his gaze fixed on her, and the smile on his face gradually turned
into a serene expression. As Raeleigh closed her eyes, he lifted his hand and stared at it. It took
him a long time before he put it down, raised his head and closed his eyes to rest.
Hearing the even sound of his breathing, Raeleigh was pretty sure that he had fallen asleep, yet
she still opened her eyes to check on him.
Raeleigh was uncertain of her own intention. She believed that Santiago had fallen asleep, but she
failed to put her mind at ease and sleep well.
She got up and gazed into the ward. Both the people in the ward were asleep. Zorion was not
awake. The injection had put him in deep slumber whereas Rossie rested motionlessly beside him.
Raeleigh took a look around. Under the current weather, the corridor of the hospital wasn''t warm
either. She took off her coat and covered it on Santiago, trying not to disturb him.
Seeing that Santiago did not wake up, she went to the washroom. Then, she did a number one,
came out and washed her hands. Leaving the washroom, she shot a nce at Santiago, who was
still resting in the corridor.
Devoid of any sign of sleepiness, she wanted to walk around in the hospital, and maybe to buy
some food at the cafeteria downstairs. She took out her purse and checked it. There was enough
money inside for a meal.
She walked to the staircase and descended. Afterward, she reached downstairs and found that
there was an empty floor in between the floor where they were in and the floor where the cafeteria
was located. There was a variety of food offered.
Raeleigh headed for one of the counters, intending to buy something to eat together with Santiago
later.
As she was walking down, two men stalked her from behind and wanted to surround her from the
left and right side. Raeleigh sensed that something was wrong, hence she immediately turned
around to have a look. As soon as the men saw that Raeleigh had noticed them, they quickly
approached her, intending to catch her. Raeleigh ran toward the crowd while reaching for her phone
to call Santiago. However, one of the men had caught up with her and threw a kick at her hand.
Consequently, the phone fell from her hand onto the ground. Raeleigh stepped back a pace while
the other man quickly kicked her. Taking this opportunity, the first man had already jumped and
blocked Raeleigh''s route of escaping. Being driven into a corner, a trace of fury appeared in
Raeleigh''s eyes. "Help!"
As Raeleigh shouted loudly, the people around all looked over. Some of them wereing near to
her, but one of the men had taken out a knife while the other one, a gun.
Raeleigh retreated. "It''s not a real gun."
Hearing Raeleigh''s words, the people around hurriedly walked forward. The man with the gun
turned to those people. "Y''all better don''te over. It''s none of your concern. This woman stole
another woman''s husband. We are here to look for her, not to kill her. Don''t stick your nose into
this."
Once he spoke so, the people around stopped in their tracks. As "homewrecker" and "detestable"
go hand in hand, no one would care about this, never mind call the police.
Raeleigh retorted, "Funny you should say that, ''cause I don''t even have a boyfriend. Don''t think that
they will buy your words." "Yeah, how can the words of bad guys be taken seriously?" "Yes, let''s call
the police."
As someone had spoken of calling the police-bang!-and the man with the gun fired a shot.
The people around cowered in fear right away. Nobody dared to approach such a madman.
Raeleigh realized that the gunshot had given these people the fright of their lives. She turned
around and was about to leap down the stairs, but before she could do it, someone stopped her by
shouting, "Don''t jump."
Raeleigh stumped for a moment and turned around to find that Flynt hade down from above
and was sporting a knee-length grey coat. His most conspicuous trait was that he had lost an arm.
All of a sudden, she recollected the matter of Santiago''s arm. Staring nkly at Flynt, she did not
speak. She even suspected that he was the brain behind all this.
