Chapter 1764


    That night, Deanna stayed by Raeleigh''s side and they even slept together. In order not to trouble


    her, she asked Harvey to push the bed over so that they have enough space to amodate two


    people.


    However, during the night, Deanna was unable to fall asleep. She called Jacky instead, and


    inquired as to whether he was already asleep.


    Meanwhile, Raeleigh pretended that she didn''t know about Deanna''s wakeful state. Even so,


    Deanna talked over the phone until at one point she pushed Raeleigh. Raeleigh opened her eyes


    and asked, "Something wrong?"


    "It''s nothing. I just want to tell you that Jacky will being to pick me up in a bit, hence I''m getting


    up first. Come morning I''ll make some delicious dishes for you to eat."


    Deanna put on her coat and shoes. She could not sleep with Raeleigh, it was really depressing for


    her.


    She then walked out of the door with a wave of her hands towards Raeleigh before she twisted


    back around and left.


    When the door closed behind her, Raeleigh got up as well. Due to Deanna''s restless movements,


    she couldn''t even sleep. Plus other than her, Jared was in the ward as well.


    She went to check on Jared and called out, "Are you still in pain? If it hurts, I can give you some


    painkillers."


    "It doesn''t hurt anymore."


    Jared was a man of few words. Raeleigh herself had nothing more to say, thus she turned to go


    outside. Once she shut the door behind her, she instantly slumped against the wall for support.


    The lights in the ward were on and shone down on her curled up form.


    There was no one in the corridor in the middle of the night. All Raeleigh wore was a coat and her


    hands were a little ufortable, but she dared not move. She would feel more ufortable if


    she moved. She could only just endure it for one night.


    Raeleigh spent the whole night like that asleep in the corridor. When morning came, she got up,


    peeked into the ward and saw that Jared was asleep still. She felt that it was because he actually


    felt pain during the night, but stubbornly refused to admit it.


    The nurse soon came to give him an injection in the morning. Harvey came early as well. Raeleigh


    was also a patient but had her injection outside of the ward.


    Raeleigh was unwilling to take care of Jared. This is because his injury was on his leg and to taking


    care of that would be inappropriate for her as he wasn''t wearing anything on the lower half of his


    body.


    For that reason, all of the aftercare was done by Harvey. If it wasn''t for him, Raeleigh would need to


    seek out someone else''s help.


    Deanna really did as she said she would do. She came to the hospital together with Jacky, and the


    moment she caught sight of Raeleigh, she put down the chicken soup and meal box in front of her.


    "I asked people to prepare some pork rib soup, you should drink it as well. You need to take care of


    your hand. Sometimes, people are really strange. Just because they said it''s not good, then it''s not


    good. Raeleigh, your hand better hurry up and recover, otherwise I''ll always worry about you."


    Deanna kept going on and on for a while now all the way to the hospital. It was only after she went


    to see Raeleigh, that she quieted down. Raeleigh sat to one side until there was a pause in


    Deanna''s chatter, she then carried a bowl of soup towards Jared''s side of the room, "Can you get


    up?"


    Jared nced at the ster- covered leg. "Shouldn''t be a problem."


    "I''ll help you."


    Raeleigh put down the soup in her hand and intended to hold Jared up. Harvey immediately rushed


    over to assist, "Raeleigh, let me do it."


    Raeleigh turned to Harvey, "Sorry to trouble you."


    When Harvey came to Jared''s side, he didn''t support him. Instead, he took the bowl of soup and


    said, "I''ll feed you."


    Jared was tongue-tied. As Harvey had sat down and began to spoon feed Jared, Raeleigh also


    went back to her meal.


    Deanna sat down beside her and observed, "You can''t even eat on your own in your present


    condition, yet you still went to hold Jared up, are you that able?"


    Raeleigh did not look at her. She had no intention to support him in the first ce.


    Jacky entered the room just then and found a ce to sit. He wore a white shirt with a ck suit,


    and a pair of ck leather shoes. These were not cheap items. Raeleigh could tell that the clothes


    were picked out by Deanna.


    Clothes make the man, just as saddles make the horse. Perhaps this was the case. After he wore


    the suit, he instantly became a different person.


    However, in the depths of his soul, he was still as bloodthirsty as a wolf. That had never changed,


    just like how Jacky''s personality would never change.


    Raeleigh sat to one side after she had finished her food. Deanna went to sit beside Jacky, whose


    gaze was now fixed on Raeleigh, "Where will you be staying tonight?"


    "Currently, I''m still not at ease as Jared has yet to recover and my hand is a problem as well. I need


    to stay here in the hospital during this period of time, hence I rented a room next to Jared''s. Like


    this, I can be a little bit morefortable."


    Raeleigh had nothing else to say. As things were, Jared needed to have someone by his side but


    she couldn''t stay inside the same ward as him. On one hand, it was really inappropriate. On the


    other hand, there''s Jacky to help her with this, thus she actually wasn''t that worried.


    Jacky thought for a moment, "Since you''re back, it''s best that you live in the fenced house instead.


    I''ll arrange it for you from here, ensuring that no issue will crop up."


    "I trust you, it''s the others I don''t trust. I don''t want to add more to your te."


    For a short period of time, neither of them spoke.


    Finally, Jacky broke the silence, "That''s fine. Since you feel that there''s no need for this, then there''s


    no need. I''ll get someone to clean up the next room."


    "Sorry to trouble you."


    "You don''t need to be so polite with me."


    Jacky stood up, and so did Deanna. They went out together, hence Raeleigh didn''t get up to see


    them off. After they left, she went to see Jared.


    "The doctor said that it will take at least half a month to get out of bed. The weather is cold now,


    which isn''t good for you. I''ll have someone to be your private cook, at least this way you will be able


    to eat a little better."


    Although this hospital belonged to her, Raeleigh didn''t think the food in the hospital was good at all.


    On the contrary, she didn''t think there was anything delicious in the hospital.


    Jared practically didn''t speak, all he did was stare at her.


    Both of them had barely any topics to talk about. Whatever Raeleigh said, Jared would always


    agree.


    The next day, Raeleigh hired two people for Jared, one was tasked to take care of Jared''s daily


    necessities, and the other tasked to take care of his meals and rest.


    Both of them were women, as well as being easy people to talk to. Not only that, they were both


    unable to speak.


    Raeleigh had found these two on a website. They were a beautiful pair of sisters in their twenties


    and at the beginning, no photo was shown. They just wrote that they wanted to find a job with a


    slightly lucrative pay. They had worked in the hospital before in the role of caretaker. It doesn''t


    matter whether it''s tiring or will make them filthy, the key point was to pay a little upfront.


    In fact, this intrigued Raeleigh. Later, she learned that their brother was hospitalized and they


    needed money to pay for his medical fees.


    Raeleigh felt that they were right for the job. Although it may not be appropriate to have these two


    young women take care of Jared, in the end the decision-maker was her, the other party had no


    say.


    Raeleigh agreed to take them both into the hospital. While one of them was responsible for the


    ward inside, the other was responsible on the outside of the ward. This also helped to lessen


    Harvey''s load enough that all he needed to do was take guard outside.


    Neither of them were able to talk. It was said that they were born like this. Raeleigh didn''t probe any


    further into their details and gave them twenty thousand dors first. She also added if there wasn''t


    enough, she could pay them in advance.


    The two of them earned ten thousand dors a month. Their charge was neither an old man nor an


    olddy, nor were they children. Raeleigh thought even one month as a confinement nurse would


    be paid less than that.


    Both of them were very grateful and assured her that they would take good care of Jared.


    Only then Raeleigh could feel relieved.


    Jared himself raised no protest against this, and for now, things were like this.

    Raeleigh rested for four to five days. Her hand had slowly recovered, and she was able to sleep


    soundly at night.


    There was an activity in the Waverly Vige during the weekend as New Year was fast approaching.


    Jacky would also be in attendance. Deanna called Raeleigh and gushed to her about it only for her


    to refuse. No matter how many calls she made to her, Raeleigh still wouldn''t agree.


    However, that evening, Raeleigh walked out of the hospital and headed in the direction of the venue


    where the activity was held.


    As she arrived at the front entrance of Jack Town Hotel, she stared in a daze at all the red lights that


    hung across the door curtain.


    She wondered how Santiago was doing, she missed him somewhat.


    Except for her family, Santiago was the best person in the whole world who treated her extremely


    well. How could she not think about him?
