Chapter 1760
"Ha ha..."
Revon suddenly burst outughing. He looked Raeleigh up and down and asked, "Which family are
you from?"
"My paternal family are all dead, and I don''t know my maternal family well. When I was a child, I
was thrown into an orphanage."
Revon raised his eyebrows when he heard her sinct background description and asked, "You
are an orphan?"
"Yes."
"Not even one rtive?"
"No, I used to have a granny who raised me, but she passed away a few years ago."
"I see. It''s really pitiful."
Revon walked to the side and sat down. He asked Raeleigh and Crevor toe over as well. After
they sat down, he asked for Raeleigh''s right hand. Once she did so, he examined it for a brief
moment before he said, "Give me your left hand as well."
Raeleigh heeded his instructions. After a while, Revon said, "Are there any problems with your left
hand?"
"My nerves haven''t recovered yet. I was injured some time ago. The doctor performed two
operations, both of which were to connect the nerves and repair the broken bones. Now I feel much
better."
After he heard her exnation, Revon gave Raeleigh another look and said, "It seems that your
hand is fine, but you can''t do anything for three to five years. What''s your job?"
Raeleigh replied honestly, "I''m a designer."
"Then how are you going to continue to design?"
"It''s hard to say what will happen in the future. I haven''t thought that far yet."
Raeleigh truly thought as such, hence she expressed it as such.
Revon nced at Crevor with a look ofprehension. "Did you deliberately bring her to me in
order for me to connect the necrotic nerve on her hand?"
"Nothing can be hidden from you. In that case, as long as you are willing to help, I can promise you
one favour."
Raeleigh didn''t approve of it. In fact, she did not trust them at all.
However, she was already here, and it was all for Santiago''s sake. Raeleigh would like to at least
try. Otherwise, she would not be pacified.
For that reason, Raeleigh sat there and said nothing. Revon thought for a moment and said, "I have
nothing that you can help me with. But since you are willing, you can stay here. It''s the same even if
I asked you toe over after I used it."
Then Revon stood up, walked towards the back, took out a box, and handed it to Raeleigh. She
opened it and found a pill inside. "Take it back and eat it. You will need to fast, I will write you a note
in a bit and list down what foods you should avoid. Aside from that, I will put you through a
physiotherapy session..."
"Revon, you misunderstood. I didn''te here to have you apply your treatment on me."
Raeleigh pushed the box back. Revon''s face changed slightly and he looked at Crevor, "Are you
kidding me?"
"This..."
She didn''t wait for Crevor to finish his sentence. She just stood up and walked out the door without
any hesitation.
By the time Crevor came out, Raeleigh was already quite a distance away.
"Raeleigh..."
When Raeleigh turned her head back, she noticed that Crevor had walked out of the courtyard. She
stopped then and twisted around to face him. "I won''t undergo any treatment that I don''t
understand."
He strode up to her front and insisted. "I was just like you. I used to have such thoughts at the
beginning, but they changed after that."
Raeleigh actually didn''t want to hear Crevor say these words, but since he talked about it, she didn''t
leave and stayed to listen to a word or two.
Crevor looked around and took off his coat, ready to put it on her. Raeleigh shook her head, "No
need. I am not ustomed to wearing strangers'' clothes."
Crevor found this quite funny. "Your refusal is so straightforward, but I like this straightforwardness
of yours."
As he spoke, Crevor took a few steps forward and beckoned, "Let''s go."
Raeleigh did not move. "If you have something to say, just say it here. I want to go home."
"Then I''ll send you off."
"That''s not necessary. There''s a taxi area within walking distance from here. I can take a taxi back."
After Raeleigh reiterated her refusal, Crevor walked in front of Raeleigh, looked down at her face
which had turned pink from the cold wind.
"This is the first time I''ve seen a girl as stubborn as you."
Raeleigh said nothing but turned on her heel and walked towards the direction of the taxi area. She
hadn''t walked far before she saw the Richards family vehicle with Jared behind the wheel.
When she saw him, Raeleigh asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
"You''re here. Why can''t I be here?"
Jared got down from the car and opened the door for her, an indication for her to get in. Raeleigh
bent her head and slid onto the car seat. She nced back at the sight of Crevor who had driven
over in a car. Jared turned the car around after he got in and left the Doyle family mansion behind
him.
Raeleigh sat in the back and gazed out the car window. Jared peeked at her several times before
he finally spoke up, "Aren''t you going to ask?"
Raeleigh looked at him. "Why are you here?"
"To have a look."
"Where is Jepherson?"
"He''s in a meeting. I''ll take you back and look for him."
Raeleigh looked at Jared strangely. "Did youe without informing Jepherson?" "His phone is
here with me. I saw the signal location of your phone there."

Raeleigh was silent. "Are you aware of the consequences?"
He did not respond to her question. He just continued to drive at a very fast speed, and soon they
were near the front gates of the Richards family residence. Jared stopped the car and looked at
Raeleigh, "Get off the car."
She did just that. Jared pressed down on the gas pedal and reversed the car to a considerable
distance. At a second nce, both Jared and the car were no longer anywhere in sight.
On such a cold day, the roads were quite slippery. Raeleigh had no idea how Jared could drive at
such speeds with no ns for safety.
Raeleigh was just about to head for the entrance when Jared contacted her.
She epted the call and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing, I''m just worried about you. Call me once you''re there. I''ll know after I receive your call."
After Jared hung up the phone, Raeleigh''s heart sank. At first, she''d just done it out of good
intentions, however, that didn''t seem to be the case for him.
It looked like Jared held a misconception.
It took Raeleigh half an hour to get to the entrance of Richards family''s residence. When she caught
sight of the Richards Group Manor que, Raeleigh was relieved. It was so cold outside that it was
fortunate that she was back, otherwise if she was frozen to death here no one would know.
She knocked on the door until somebody came out. When they saw who it was, they hurriedly
bustled her in.
Raeleigh didn''t feel the cold at this point. She had gradually started to warm up when she was
inside but felt a little ufortable. When she walked, her shoes weren''t enough to keep them
warm. To walk wasn''t a problem for her, even if she was more used to being in a car for travel
purposes. However, doing so in a cold weather like this was like a death sentence, and Raeleigh
waspletely unable to adapt.
It was only after she entered that Raeleigh found out the condition of her hands. Although she had
tried to protect her hands, they still went red and swollen as well as itchy.
She quickly thawed her hands out. There wasn''t any problem with her right hand. However, her left
hand was still abnormally ufortable. Raeleigh immediately instructed someone to send her to
the hospital. An examination was carried out soon after she arrived and the situation didn''t bode
well for her.
Raeleigh then asked someone to give her an injection and applied an ointment for the frostbite. She
stayed overnight at the hospital and didn''t return to the manor.
When Stuart came back, he broke out into a cold sweat when he heard what happened. Raeleigh
was in the hospital?
