Chapter 1696
"You dare?" Marissa red at them, which Rossie returned with a cold, contemptuous look. "I''m not
afraid of people like you. Go ahead and tear it off, tear it all away and see for yourself whether
you''re still pretty after that!"
Marissa seemed to have gone mad as she ordered someone to beat her up. Rossie goaded, "I
don''t think you have the guts to."
Marissa stamped her foot angrily. "Throw her out for me!"
"Come on then!"
Rossie wasn''t a pushover. Even though Raeleigh''s hand was hurt as well, she still use it to pull
Rossie away, "Forget it."
"No, who is she to call you a vixen? I still say she''s an old hag!"
Marissa was so spitting mad that she couldn''t care less about her image.
"Get her... Ah..."
Before she could finish, Rossie marched up to her and gave her a push. Marissa lost her bnce
and fell down. Reese immediately stooped down to support her. Seeing that no one else took
action,
Rossie went up and tore apart Marissa''s clothes, which was a body wrap dress and a headscarf
that was done up in such aplicated style that it held up for half a day. Rossie messed
everything up, even her hair, and made her look like an insane lunatic.
Raeleigh pulled her off of her as Rossie finally pant from all her efforts after running about for half a
day.
She stood above Marissa and dered, "You dirty old hag, how dare you bully others? You''re tired
of living, aren''t you? Just jump down from this building and smash your head in then. You came
here just to court death. Do you think Raeleigh is a mistress and you''re here to strip off her face?"
Raeleigh pulled on Rossie a little more insistently, Lets go.
Rossie snorted and kicked Marissa''s calf. After she''s done, she pivoted on her toes and was now
the one to pull Raeleigh along. "Come, let''s go to the hospital."
Just as they decided on this, Rossie turned back and pointed at Marissa. "You just wait and see."
Marissa''s face had already turned pale. She looked as if she''d been pped in the face with a fish!
The people in the surrounding area were also a little scared when they saw Rossie. What kind of
ce was this to have a mother tigere running?
As soon as Raeleigh stepped out of the door, she heard Marissa yell out, "Chase, chase after them
and bring them back!"
Rossie had been walking at a fast pace, but when she heard the yells, she slowed down instead. It
was as if she was waiting for Marissa''s men to chase after them and bring them back.
Raeleigh endured the pain. At this point, she didn''t care about the time. By the time they reached
downstairs, Marissa''s people had caught up to them. Rossie paused then and gave them all a look
of warning, "Tell Marissa, the dirty old hag, that I am Zorion Whalen''s wife."
The moment Zorion''s name was mentioned, the people of the Richards family dared not make a
move. With Rossie''s identity revealed, they moved to the sides of the door and let them pass.
Once out of the vicinity, Rossie became a little anxious. She immediately looked at Raeleigh and
asked, "How is it?"
Raeleigh shook her head, "Send me to Waverly Vige. Jacky''s hospital belongs to my brother.
They are all my brother''s students and had already arrived from the start. The bones might be
broken."
What she said was already an understatement. She predicted that her bones might have shattered.
When Marissa''s foot suddenly went up, she heard the sound of it being shattered at that time.
Rossie immediately took Raeleigh to the vige. The car sped down the road. Although they''re a
distance away, some police cars came and helped them give way which saved them some time.
Raeleigh didn''t feel anything when she was in the hotel, but now on the road her hands began to
feel painful.
Raeleigh sweat heavily as she leaned to the side, and even speaking was difficult.
Rossie called Zorion.
"I''m in trouble. I''m going to hide in Waverly Vige. Raeleigh got injured. You can do as you see fit."
Zorion nced at his phone, got up, and rushed out of his home towards the vige.
By the time Raeleigh arrived at the vige, she was already unconscious. Jacky and Deanna were
both there. They had prepared the necessary arrangements in advance. Once they arrived, Jacky
carried Raeleigh out of the car and headed straight for the hospital.
The rest of them followed in their wake. Raeleigh went through the operation. Rossie was so
worried, she followed her in whereas Deanna and Jacky waited outside.
At the same time, Marissa also entered the hospital in a fit of rage.
It was said that excessive anger was bad for one''s health. Marissa had suffered a huge impact this
time, and was so furious that shended herself in the emergency room.
Jepherson left Stuart to apany his grandmother and took Lucy to Waverly Vige. But when
they got there, their entry was barred and they couldn''t get in.

Raeleigh was pushed out of the emergency room just as Jepherson arrived. But she didn''t request
Jacky to let him in.
She could already talk when Jepherson was stopped at the entrance as her hand no longer hurts.
Raeleigh looked at the doctor, "Break it to me honestly."
Raeleigh had seen all the doctors before. The orthopedics department was led by Xanthus. Later,
when they came to Waverly Vige, only Jacky knew about this. But Raeleigh knew all of the people
inside the department.
The doctors looked crestfallen. "The bones have been shattered. We tried our best to repair it, but it
is impossible topletely heal them. It will take about five years of therapy and recovery, plus the
neurons have also been damaged. This part was due to a mistake on our part during surgery. We
can''t be as precise as our mentor.
Moreover...
The hand cannot simply be used before they fully recover. If it was used, that is equivalent to a
wasted operation. It could also be seen from the back of the hand that it had once been fractured.
We had already lowered the possibility of leaving behind a scar, but it will still be different than it
originally was.
But five yearster, you should be able to recover."
Raeleigh fixed her gaze on the doctors. "Five years?"
"Yes, five years is the lowest limit. If this hand is used within five years, it will be deformed."
Raeleigh raised her left hand to have a look. She absolutely didn''t expect that something like this
could happen.
Five years to her was humanity''s most glorious moment of their life. If she really lost these five
years, it meant that she lost half of the world.
Although she drew pictures with her right hand, it was impossible to draw with her right hand alone.
There were still times that her left hand was needed.
Raeleigh stared at her cast for a while then said, "You can all go home. Let''s call it a day."
"Then we..."
"Don''t tell my brother, I''ll tell him. Another thing, no one present can tell anyone about this. If
someone asks about me, you tell them that I got abrasions on my hand and I need to have cosmetic
surgery. In order not to get the wounds infected, I will be in the intensive care unit ward."
As Raeleigh spoke, Deanna all of a sudden hunched down to the ground and broke out crying.
Everyone turned in Deanna''s direction as she cried out through her tears, "Raeleigh, go. This ce
will eat you up!"
Raeleigh also wanted to leave, but she couldn''t!
"You can leave now. Do as she says."
Jacky ordered someone down and helped carry Deanna to bed. Raeleigh didn''t cry even when she
was ill, which made Deanna very self-conscious. She curled up in bed and took deep inhtions to
stop her sobs.
Rossie also couldn''t help but cry, but not to Deanna''s extent. The two of them hadpletely
different personalities.
"Take care of yourself. Five years may be a long time for you, but you can do so much more in that
time span. Maybe there are other ways too."
Jacky patted Raeleigh''s shoulder and said, "This time if it weren''t for you both, I''m afraid I wouldn''t
be able to get out."
"It''s good that you''re fine more than anything." Jacky looked at Rossie as he spoke. "It''s all thanks
to you this time. I didn''t expect you to be nearby."
"I was worried about Raeleigh too, still I was toote." "Betterte than never."
