Chapter 1807


    "Uncle, you want to hurt my Dad?" Shaney straightened up from Austin''s back and blinked her big


    eyes up at him. He tilted his head back to look at her, "If I do, what would you do?"


    "Then I''ll be angry. I only have one Dad."


    "What about me?"


    "I don''t want to lose Uncle either." Shaney murmured into Austin''s shoulder. Raeleigh shook her


    head. This child of hers had so many tricks up her sleeves, that sometimes she felt that even she


    was being cheated by her.


    Moreover, she thought with each passing day that her child had be more like Santiago.


    Shaney was a girl. If she really had Santiago''s temperament, she wouldn''t know what to do. How


    did her child turn out this way?


    With that being said, Raeleigh needed to get right down to business.


    "I''ll talk to him and tell him to yield to you, okay?" Raeleigh persuaded. Austin smiled drily, an


    unperturbed look on his handsome face, "What I want is his frustration. If I let you talk to him, it


    would undoubtedly give him a chance to extricate himself from the situation and that''s not what I


    want to happen. We''re having raviolister,e back after you''ve washed your hands."


    Austin turned and left with Shaney on his back still. Raeleigh stood in the courtyard for a while. On


    such a cold day, she heard that Jepherson stood there for all this time and never left. He just stood


    there like that...


    Raeleigh went to the watchtower. She looked down from that vantage point. There were a lot of


    people around, including Jacky and Zorion. While she was busy looking down at the crowd, Jared


    immediately notified Jepherson that Raeleigh was up above.


    Jepherson took out his binocrs and pointed it in Raeleigh''s direction. She was still in her clothes


    that she had originally worn, her gaze soft and calm as she looked back at him.


    When she saw that Jepherson was looking at her, she lightly breathed a sigh of relief.


    On the other hand, Jepherson frowned and called Raeleigh on his phone. He pointed towards


    Raeleigh, a non-verbal signal for her to pick up the call. It was only then she took out her phone and


    epted it.


    "Come down. Bring my daughter out together."


    Jepherson couldn''t hide the anger in his voice. Raeleigh sighed, "Why are you doing this? You


    obviously know that this is a futile endeavour. If Austin truly wanted to release the children, why


    would he need to imprison us here?"


    "If he doesn''t release you both, I won''t leave, I absolutely won''t give up." Jepherson then turned on


    his heel and marched towards his car. He pointed at the person inside with an order for them to get


    out. The driver immediately scrambled out. Raeleigh felt that something wasn''t right. "What are you


    doing?" she asked.


    "He thought I was afraid of him. Then I''ll let him see whether I, Jepherson Richards, am really afraid


    of him." While he spoke, he reached the front of his car. With a walkie-talkie in his other hand, he


    communicated through it to the people around the area. Soon, the cars were driven away and a


    passage was opened up.


    Jepherson sat inside the car, one hand used to make a call, while the other one was used to control


    the car. He was veryposed.


    Raeleigh shouted into the phone at once, "Jepherson, are you crazy? What are you doing?"


    "He thought that just because he wouldn''t let me in that I won''t go in. He can''t make that decision for


    me. I''m going in now, if he has the ability, then just gun me down."


    Jepherson revved up the engine a few times with the elerator. He then reversed the car to get


    some distance. Jacky''s sleep was disturbed by all the noise. When he opened his eyes, the first


    thing he saw was Jepherson''s car, worth millions of dors, crashing against the prison''s doors with


    a loud bang!


    "Jepherson, Jepherson..." Raeleigh got such a fright that she turned to head down the stairs and to


    the doors, only to be instantly held back by a few people.


    Zorion ordered people to check on Jepherson. By the time they ran up, he was already


    unconscious, with a gash across his head and blood all over his face.


    "Jepherson...Jepherson..." Zorion shouted a few times, but Jepherson did not respond. He hurriedly


    tried to open the car door. At this moment, Jacky came over from his own car just as Zorion had


    dragged the person out, carried him down to the ground and gave a brief scan over his injuries.


    "First- aid!" Jacky yelled immediately after a nce. Zorion got up and called for someone at once


    to help carry Jepherson into another car, which then sent him straight to the hospital.


    The outside of the Green House prison was initially full of people. However, due to Jepherson''s


    unexpected move, everyone had left the premises.


    The only thing left behind was the demolished car at the prison''s entrance.


    Austin received the report and went to the door to check it out. The car had crashed to the point of


    being just a pile of metal heap. If the person was still alive under such circumstances, it''s hard to


    imagine how long Jepherson''s life span was.


    Raeleigh had been stunned on the spot. She stood beside Austin and cried helplessly.


    When Shaney saw her mother cry, she also couldn''t help but cry too, especially when she heard


    that her father got injured. She cried even louder at that. Raeleigh carried her child into her arms as


    she nned to leave, but Austin had someone hold them back.


    "What are you doing?" Raeleigh shouted at Austin anxiously. He walked towards her and took hold


    of Shaney. "I''ll go with you."


    Raeleigh froze for a moment, but still followed Austin to the hospital.


    The entire Capital City was in turmoil over the fact that something had happened to Jepherson.


    Some said that he got into a mishap due to drunk driving. Some said that he had been set up. Many


    theories that could be thought up were spread everywhere.


    Zorion and Jacky were both outside the


    emergency room. Deanna sat to the side without a single reaction. She wasn''t as anxious as Rossie


    was.


    Rossie immediately asked when she arrived, "What''s going on? He was fine just earlier, how did he


    end up like this?"


    Deanna pretended not to hear. She leaned to the side. She felt that even if everyone in the world


    died, Jepherson would not die. After all, Jepherson was annoyingly arrogant. For so many years,


    there was only one person that Deanna had always thought would stay alive, and that was


    Jepherson.


    Since Deanna wouldn''t speak, Rossie had to go to Zorion instead. He gave her a blow by blow


    ount of what happened and in turn Rossie grew less anxious.


    After they sat around a while, the surgery was over. The doctor pushed the patient out and told


    Jacky and the others that the patient was still in a critical stage and would be sent to the ICU.


    Raeleigh and the rest came just as the doctors had sent him in. When Raeleigh saw Jepherson, it


    was through a ss window. Heid in bed inside with his head all wrapped up and an oxygen


    mask attached to his face. Raeleigh felt distressed when she saw the state he''s in.


    Raeleigh picked her daughter up, pointed to where Jepherson wasid out, "That''s Dad."


    Shaney sniffled, "Dad is so pitiful. He got so mad at me and Mum until he fell ill."


    Although Raeleigh felt aggrieved towards Jepherson, she also didn''t want to see him end up this


    way.


    She looked at Austin who stood with his hands sped behind his back. "Is this the oue that


    you wanted?"


    Austin stood there for a moment before he looked at Raeleigh, "What would you do if it were you?"


    Raeleigh suddenly went quiet. She stared into Austin''s eyes and then shook her head. "You won''t


    think that way."


    "You know that''s not how I think, then why did you ask me?" He turned back around to observe


    Jepherson inside. "His only purpose in doing what he did is to have me send you and your daughter


    back.


    Jepherson''s courage went beyond my expectations, but I really don''t like this person. He can''t


    understand till'' now that there isn''t a need to be so calctive when you love someone.


    Raeleigh...to hand you over to him won''t make me feel at ease. Jepherson is a deep person, you


    won''t be able to control him."

    Raeleigh quietly stared through the ss, "But sometimes I don''t want to control him. I''m happy just


    because he''s fine."


    "Then that requires him to bepletely devoted to you. He has yet to fullyprehend that love


    isn''t something to be possessed but to have and to love someone is to be ready to suffer major


    losses for both sides."
