Chapter 1838


    Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson''s men at the entrance of the vige. ''l knew it wouldn''t be easy for me to run away.’


    "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you."


    Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the vige with a nket on hisp and


    upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don''t becent. I''ll leave one day."


    Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh’s belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk. he had a firm grip.


    Raeleigh lost her bnce and fell onto hisp. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, “Don''t move.”


    Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate.


    Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed.


    Jepherson covered her body with the nket, then ced his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She raised her hand and grabbed


    his wrist as he pressed his hand on her lower abdomen and felt the baby''s movement carefully. As expected, there was a pulse.


    Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with his dark eyes, then asked, "Is it more than two months old already?"


    Raeleigh did not answer and pulled away his hand.


    She stood up and turned around, walking back into the house.


    After sitting outside for a while, Jepherson called Scarlette and Hadrian. At that time, neither of them knew that Raeleigh had already returned home


    safely, and they were still busy searching for her. Since Jepherson did not call off the search, they did note back.


    This time, when Scarlette finally reunited with Raeleigh, she was so excited that she cried.


    Raeleigh sat there with a neutral expression on her face, holding back her emotions. She could not believe that after so many years, Scarlette still


    cared for her so deeply.


    However, the doctor tald her nat to be too excited, so she would not cry. She only stared at Scarlette until Scarlette hugged her and cried. Then, she


    said slowly, "The doctor told me not to cry. You don''t have to cry either. It''s bad for the baby.”


    Finally, Raeleigh told the truth. Earlier, Jepherson did not force her to do the maternity check because she refused to.


    Scarlette was surprised to hear that Raeleigh was pregnant.


    “Raeleigh, will it be dangerous? At your age..."


    "Scarlette, have you been living toofortable recently?" Jepherson questioned in a cold voice before Scarlette could finish her words and she


    immediately shrank with fear. She carefully looked at Raeleigh and said, "It should be all right. You are only thirty, right?"


    Raeleigh did not answer. Instead, she nced at Jepherson. Scarlette asked Raeleigh again, "Do you feel ufortable...”


    "Scarlette, leave," Jepherson cut her off.


    Then, Hadrian added, "Scarlette,e out for a moment.”


    It was only then that Scarlette got up and left. After Scarlette and Hadrian left, Jepherson said to Raeleigh, “Let''s go do a check-upter and see if the


    baby is well. Nothing will happen to you at your age.”


    Raeleigh retorted, "I never said that anything would happen to me. You''re the one who said that."


    She lowered her gaze and looked around. “Since you called Hadrian and Scarlette over, it means that you are recovering well. I can finally take a


    rest. I will not cook today."


    Raeleigh got up, feeling exhausted.


    She went back upstairs andy down to have a rest.


    Jepherson sat downstairs for a while. Then, he got up from the wheelchair.


    Raeleigh heard someoneing up, but she could not hear it clearly. She thought that the footsteps sounded heavy.


    She opened her eyes and sat up. She knew that Jepherson was not just pretending to be sick. He was risking his health.


    After a while. Jepherson came up from downstairs. As he only had little strength, it was challenging for him to walk up the stairs. When he arrived, he


    stood at the staircase, watching Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh pursed her lips as if in deep thought.


    Then, she asked, "How did you get here?”


    ‘I walked here."


    Jepherson walked toward Raeleigh.


    When he stopped, he wobbled a


    little. Raeteigh raised her head to ->


    look at him. His forehead was I


    covered with sweat. Fixing his gaze


    on her, he slowly bent downand sat


    beside her, his face turning red from


    exhaustion


    Raeleigh took a towel to wipe the sweat of Jepherson''s forehead as hey down, holding her hand.


    She immediately took off his


    clothes, thengrabbed a basin of hot


    water and began wiping the sweat ~


    off his body, Later, she poured hinta


    cup of het water and covered him


    with the nket. The two of thém


    didnot speak and only stared at


    each other. He held her hand tightly


    and closed his eyes. Content

    Raeleigh sat down and looked at Jepherson, wondering what he was going to do.


    Meanwhile, downstairs, Scarlette asked Hadrian, "Why is Mr. Jepherson sitting in a wheelchair?"


    Neither Scarlette nor Hadrien knew what had happened during this period. Hence, they were equally confused as to why Jepherson was sitting in a


    wheelchair.


    "Mr. Jepherson wants to use this method to let Raeleigh stay. Raeleigh can leave whenever she wants, so he can''t force her to stay in any other way.


    He can only use this method to secure her heart,” Hadrian replied.


    Scarlette shook her head and said, "But I always believe that Raeleigh will leave sooner orter." "Mr. Jepherson needs someone to take care of him


    Remember to keep an eye on Raeleigh during this period. Don''t let her leave."


    “You men are so selfish. How could you force the girl you like to stay with you? The world is endless, why couldn''t he let Raeleigh do what she


    wants?"


    "It''s none of your business."


    When Jepherson woke up, he noticed Raeleigh looking down at him. After he propped himself up, Raeleigh asked him why he got up so soon.


    "I''ll stay by your side and apany you until the child is barn.”


    Raeleigh said nothing, and Jepherson added, "I missed Shaney and Forden’s births, so I can''t miss it this time."


    Raeleigh felt that something was amiss, but she said nothing


    From that dayonwards, Jepherson

    Now that Jepherson wanted to get better, the people around him became busy too. It wasn''t long before he finally recovered and returned to his usual


    state. When Raeleigh was downstairs, she heard Jepherson walking down the stairs.


    Winter came in the blink of an eye. Raeleigh was unwilling to step out of the house. At noon, Jepherson persuaded her to go out for a walk, insisting


    on taking her out even if they would only stand in the courtyard for a whileN?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Raeleigh weed the first snow of early winter outside. At that moment. Jepherson was making a phone call at the door. She stood in the yard and


    raised her hand to catch the snowkes when it began to snow.


    It was a cold beginning for Raeleigh. but her heart was calm for the first time in ten years. It was as if she was waking up in a dream that did not


    belong to her. Although she was confused, she was slowly letting it go.


    She was letting go of her persistence, the past and the future.
