Chapter 1823
Raeleigh still remembered that at that time when Jacky asked her to go to see Santiago. It meant
that in times of crisis, Jacky was still thinking about Santiago.
Normally, a person would stop thinking about someone if he or she does not see the person for a
period of time, but Jacky was different.
Jacky conducted himself in a way that not many people could understand.
Raeleigh and Santiago stayed for dinner and decided to spend the night in Waverly Vige. They
even bought their flight tickets to Capital City for the next day.
Before leaving, Santiago decided to climb onto the roof of the hospital in Waverly Vige to get a
bird''s eye view of the vige. When Raeleigh found him and saw him standing on the edge of the
roof, she asked him, "What are you doing here?"
Santiago turned around and looked at Raeleigh. The corner of his mouth moved a little. Raeleigh
was stunned when she saw a refreshing look on his face. Santiago had changed a lotpared to
previous years. Though he spent the majority of those years lying in bed, he had changed a lot.
Raeleigh kept her eyes on him as she walked towards him. She reached out and touched his slim
face. "Sometimes, I really hope that this is all just a dream."
Santiago reached out for Raeleigh''s hand and kissed it. Then, he pulled her into his arms, turned
her around and hugged her from behind.
Raeleigh wanted to push Santiago away, but she knew he would not let her go so easily.
Santiago said, "I''m curious to know how much you love me. Is it less than a thousandth of your love
for him?"
Raeleigh was stunned for a moment, but she quicklyposed herself. "Santiago, we...."
"No, don’t say it. I don''t want to hear it. If we are destined to be lonely, then I would rather spend the
rest of my life with you, travelling the world to see the hustle and bustle of everyday life."
Raeleigh stood there holding Santiago''s hands. They were all dressed up today. The night wind
blew gently. It blew away the past filled with love and hate.
Raeleigh stood there without answering. She held Santiago''s hand and looked down at the vige
below, where there''s all these peopleing and going as she recalled the past. He was the only
one who had no barriers. Everything he did, he did it for her. He had never stopped loving her, but
he was a littlete. If he had appeared earlier in her life, maybe things would have been different.
This rtionship was so absurd and Raeleigh knew it. She could not seem to bring herself to meet
him halfway.
She could not even bring herself to hold his hands.
"Santiago! I..."
"Hush!"
Santiago whispered in Raeleigh''s ear. Raeleigh knew he did not want to hear her words.
They had been sleeping on the same bed for so long, but they''d never crossed the line. They knew
it would take a long time, but neither one could forget that their rtionship started off as inws.
The wind continued to blow. Santiago then asked Raeleigh, "Can you sing?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "No."
"I''ll teach you."
Raeleigh turned her head slightly to look at Santiago. "Alright."
Santiago smiled and started singing. His deep voice was like an evesting song that lingered that
night. He kept his arms around Raeleigh''s body the entire time.
"We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
I think it was right around spring.
I walked by.
But I did not look back.
I remembered.
And I nearly forgot!
We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
I remembered it was right around summer, where the flowers were in full bloom.
I was singing.
Not to myself.
But I remember...

Still I nearly forgot.
We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
I think it was during one sunset in autumn.
You were so beautiful that I dare not talk to you.
When you walked passed, the wind blew and my hair flew.
We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
I remembered that it was during one winter snow.
I walked by.
But I did not look back.
I remembered.
But I nearly forgot!
We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
Back then you were still a child and I could barely look out the windowttice!
I was guessing your name while engraving it on the wall.
I drew a picture of you facing the moon.
We seem to have met somewhere before. Do you remember?
We set out and travelled to our own ends of the world.
Looking at each other in this life, who would have thought.
That we''ll be able to meet? Everything is like a dream.
We seem to have met somewhere before."
When Raeleigh turned around, Santiago was smiling. She did not know what was wrong with her.
She let the tears roll down her face as she leaned in Santiago''s chest. Santiago held her in his
arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair. Then, he slowly tightened his hold around her...
That night, Raeleigh apanied Santiago on the roof of the hospital. By the time they came
down, it was already two o''clock the next morning. This was the first time they had seen the streets
empty. It was only just the two of them. They stood alone under the moonlight. Shaney was
spending the night with Deanna, so they did not have to rush. They took their time and strolled
along the empty streets.
Raeleigh knew that she would remember this moment for the rest of her life, but she did not want
Santiago to apany her to walk the long road ahead of her.
Standing in front of the door of the Jack Town Hotel, Santiago put his hands in his pockets and
looked up at the que of the Jack Town Hotel. Raeleigh had never seen anyone who could wear
such a colourful coat. Santiago was the only one who could pull it off.
However, Santiago did not turn around. His smile brightly. His face was clean and clear.
All of this seemed to have been decided long ago, but Raeleigh could not imagine this was the
same arrogant boy she met years ago.
Santiago said, "I love you!"
Raeleigh froze. Santiago turned around, walked to Raeleigh and said, "Do you love me?"
Raeleigh wore a smile, "Yes, I do."
"That''s enough!"
Santiago lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh on the cheek. Then, he smiled and said, "I will not
give in to my brother in my next life!"
Raeleigh said as tears welled up in her eyes, "What if there is no next life?"
"There will be!"
He was so determined. He turned and walked forward. Raeleigh turned around and looked at him,
the wind blowing his clothes. He never made promises, but this time he did.
Raeleigh quickly followed him. After a while, she asked, "Are you going to see Cynthia?"
Santiago nced at Raeleigh. "Mind your own business."
Raeleigh said, "I heard from Jacky that she''s in Waverly Vige."
"Really? Where?" Santiago nced around but he was not angry. Raeleigh smiled. "This is what
makes you better than your brother. He will test me and wants me to give him everything. You''re the
exact opposite. You''re good to me and very considerate."
"Since you put it that way, then why don''t you marry me instead? It''s no good to suffer together with
him. He is so narrow-minded, but he met this fool."
Santiago raised his hand and gently hit Raeleigh''s head. Raeleigh rubbed her head and red at
Santiago. Santiago pulled her hand away and said, "I know I said I will not hit you, but as soon as I
see you, I just feel like hitting you."
Raeleigh lowered her head and turned away. Santiago followed her.
They were not far from each other, but it seemed that they were worlds apart.
Raeleigh kept on walking until she stopped in front of Cynthia''s house. She wiped her tears and
turned to look at Santiago. Then, Raeleigh knocked on the door.
Santiago stood behind Raeleigh. It was already past three in the morning. After Raeleigh knocked
on the door, it took a long time before someone finally answered the door.
The door opened. Cynthia stood inside and looked at Santiago and Raeleigh nkly. She was
stunned for a moment.
