Chapter 1531
Frightened by Santiago''s action, the doctor immediately stood up, holding his tongue. Santiago''s
eyes shed with anger. The doctor exined, "I''m just trying to treat her. This kind of illness can
only be treated when it acts up. When she''s in pain, for example."
"So you say, but did you have to hug her?" Santiago''s face was cold. The doctor said, "Yes, I need
to hug her from behind."
"She needs to hold her breath. I will clench my fist and massage her from top to bottom, as well as
the left and right sides of her chest. Then, she will have to slowly exhale. She can do it by herself,
but judging by her current state..."
The doctor looked at Raeleigh, who was grappling with pain. She couldn''t even clench her fist, let
alone massage herself.
"Is there no other way?" Santiago''s face softened. The doctor said, "Well, she can try to lie down
and roll around in bed to alleviate the pain. But paradoxically, she''s going to endure a great amount
of pain. She can also try to stretch away the pain."
After the doctor exined, Santiago climbed onto the bed and sat behind Raeleigh to help her up.
Before Raeleigh could struggle, he had already started.
"Breath in..."
Raeleigh took a deep breath and held it. The doctor froze for a moment and then raised his hand to
press Raeleigh''s ribs. "Does it hurt?"
Raeleigh did not answer, but sweat slid down from her forehead. Santiago turned sideways to look
at Raeleigh. He clenched his fist and slowly massage her ribs, per the doctor''s instruction.
Raeleigh did her best to endure the pain. A few momentster, the pain started to subside. It was
not until she regained her strength that she pushed Santiago away. Only then did he let go of her
and climb down from the bed.
Santiago nced at the doctor and growled, "Remember to make things clear before taking action
next time, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble."
In other words, Santiago meant that he would take action against the doctor, should he act rashly
again.
The doctor did not even dare to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. "I''m sorry, I was anxious
when I saw the patient in pain. I will be careful next time."

"What''s your next course of action to treat her illness?" Santiago immediately asked, sounding very
intimidating. The doctor did not even dare to meet his eyes and could only say, "I''ll give her an
injectionter. Then, she will have to stay in bed for the next two days and rx herself. She should
be fine after."
"Can you please ask a couple female doctors toe and examine her bruises from yesterday''s
incident? Ask them to bring along whatever medicine necessary."
"Alright. We will arrange it right away."
Santiago used his chin to motion for them to leave. Then, the doctor brought his team out. It was
only after he stepped out of the room that he dared to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After the door was closed, Raeleigh sat in the bed, motionless. Santiago turned around and said to
her, "Lie down."
Raeleigh did not move. She sat in bed and looked towards the door. Santiago intended to help her
lie down, but she quicklyy down herself. During this period, Rossie was standing beside Zorion,
watching their interaction. Rossie felt strange. She wondered whose girlfriend was Raeleigh? Why
did she feel that Santiago loved her more than Jepherson?
Raeleighy down and pulled the quilt over her body. She looked at Santiago. "Leave me alone,
thanks. You can head home first. I will go home once I''m discharged."
"Do you feel better?" Santiago asked as he sat to one side and stared deep into her eyes.
Raeleigh kept quiet. It was useless for her to say anything to a person like him.
Not long after, Raeleigh sumbed to sleep. When she woke up, Rossie persuaded her to have
some food, but her mouth was full of ulcers and she dared not open her mouth. Nevertheless, her
appearance looked fine.
"I''m full." Raeleigh did not feel like eating anymore after taking a couple mouthful of porridge. She
had never been like this before. She did not want Rossie to find out about her ulcerous mouth.
Rossie asked her, "You only ate two spoonfuls. Is your stomach not feeling well? Do you want me to
go and get the doctor?"
"No, it''s just too hot. Why don''t you let it cool down for a bit?" Raeleigh asked. Rossie nodded and
put the porridge aside. "I''ll make some soup for youter. I''ve got everything prepared."
"Don''t bother. Initially, I was supposed toe and take care of you guys. Instead, now you have to
take care of me and Zorion. I''m such a nuisance, aren''t I." "Don''t worry about it. I was nning to
make some soup for Zorion anyways even if you weren''t here. His body is very weak and his
stomach is not good, but he has to eat."
Zorion had lost a huge amount of weight while Rossie wasn''t around.
Rossie had no idea that a person could shed so much weight in a short period of time.
Zorion was quite tall and weighed around 60 kilogramsst time. She doubt that he weighed that
much now.
Rossie thought that he had stomach issues and even asked him whether he''d gone to see Louisa to
diagnose the problem. He said he did and it had been cured.
So the problem stemmed from him being a picky eater. Rossie nned to take advantage of this
period of time to fatten him up.
Although she had to take care of Raeleigh as well, Zorion was the most important one.
Raeleigh did not know what else to say. So, she just thanked her.
"Thank you so much."
Raeleigh did not finish her porridge, but insteady back down on the bed. After a while, she started
to have a fever.
Santiago had been keeping an eye on Raeleigh. It was unclear whether she was asleep or not, but
her face gradually turned red. She would asionally toss around in bed. The doctor did ask her to
lay in bed, but somehow she kept tossing and turning.
Santiago saw Raeleigh frowning and reached out and ced a hand on her forehead. It was
burning hot.
Santiago hurriedly got to his feet and called a doctor. Raeleigh felt that her ears were buzzing, as if
someone was shouting at her. She raised her hand to cover her ears, blocking the noise.
Santiago held Raeleigh in ce, but she kept rolling around on the bed and eventually curled up in
bed. Santiago snapped, "Zorion bloody Whalen, are you dead?"
Zorion slowly got out of bed and walked to the door. When he pushed the door open, Rossie had
returned with the doctor in tow.
Once bitten, twice shy — the doctor entered the room and stood by the door, waiting for Santiago''s
say-so.
Santiago saw him. "What are you still standing there for?"
The doctor then hurried over to Raeleigh''s bedside. Santiago sat on the bed and held her in his
arms. She was in a daze at this time and could not tell what was going on. Her high fever had
already made her delirious.
Santiago was hugging her, but she wasn''t even conscious enough to realize that.
She curled up in Santiago''s arm, who held her down so tightly that she wouldn''t move.
The doctors checked Raeleigh''s eyes first, then opened her mouth. The doctor froze for a moment
when he saw her mouth was covered with ulcers. Then, he released Raeleigh and looked at
Santiago. "She has a severe flu, the hallmark of a highly dangerous viral infection."
"What do you mean?"
"She needs to be quarantined and kept under observation." The doctor wasn''t sure whether the
virus was infectious, but in this situation, he could only suggest that Raeleigh had to be transferred
to an istion ward for observation.
Santiago''s expression darkened when he heard the doctor''s words. "Is it fatal?"
"I''m not sure."
"Get ready, send her to the istion ward now!"
Santiago looked down at Raeleigh in his arms and suddenly held her tightly. He rested his head
against hers and kissed her.
