When the door of the operating room closed,Raeleigh shut her eyes.
Zorion could see Raeleigh from the television screen outside. However, he was still quite surprised to see Raeleigh closing her eyes after entering the room.
Deanna pulledZorion and asked, “Zorion, what’s wrong with Raeleigh?”
“She’s probably tired. She didn’t rest on the ne,” Zorion pulledDeannato the opposite side and sat down. As he was taking a break with her,Scarlette paced back and forth.
After walking for a while,Scarlette asked Deanna,“I’m going to the washroom.Deanna,do you want to tag along?” In reply, Deanna shook her head and replied,“Go ahead. I’ll tag alongter.”
“All right,” Scarlette sprinted to the bathroom and made a call to Stuart.
“Mr. Jepherson,” Stuart, who was waiting for the call, said in greeting.
“It’s time for her surgery. I’ll send you a text messageter,” Scarlette hung up on the phone, washed her hands, and went outside.
Jephersonwas sitting in a car outside the hospital, apanied by Stuart. He was waiting for the results, his eyes narrowed.
“They’ve already started the operation,” said Stuart as he put away the phone.Jephersonslowly opened his eyes. Not saying a word, he only sat in the car.
Stuart secretly sighed. Things were not going well for Jepherson. He was dying to rush in andsee Raeleigh. However, since Zorion and Deanna were present, it was inappropriate for him to show up. He could only rely on someone else to send his regards and check on the situation.
AfterRaeleigh’s operation, whichstedseveral hours, she nodded off in the surgery room. As she was pushed out, Deanna called out to her, but she was still asleep.
“She’s asleep,” the doctor answered, amusement apparent in his tone.
Zorion thanked him. As the nurse pushed her into the ward, Deanna went in and started taking care of Raeleigh. At the same time, Raeleigh also woke up.
The doctor asked Zorion about the payment. After asking them to wait, he picked up the phone and called Rayan.
Rayan, who was having a business negotiation abroad, was surprised to receive a call from Zorion as he seldom called on his own initiative.
“I’m sorry, guys. I have to answer this,” Rayan informed his business partners politely and then turned around to go outside.
Their business negotiation was taking ce on an ind. Facing the sea, Rayan took the call from Zorion, greeting him,“Well, it’s rare to receive a call from you.What’s up?”
Rayan smiled calmly. Although he was not young anymore, there were very few traces of signs of aging on his face.
Zorion hesitated for a moment before replying to him, “I’m just letting you know that I’m going to use some money.”
“When did you start informing me of your financial matters? Did you get into trouble?” Rayan held Zorion in high regard, giving him chances to make his own decisions since he was a child. As long as he was notmitting any morally corrupt crimes, Rayan would let him do anything.
Due to that, Zorion had be independent since he was a child.
“A student in Elkton University had an ident,and her hand was scraped open.Her wound needs to be treated. I was only able to request for the surgery to take ce now because I used your name. Now that I’m using a great sum of money, I have to tell you.”
“A great sum of money?” Rayan’s smile deepened. It seemed that Zorion had grown up and he was finally interested in a woman. Nheless, he had no clue what kind of woman Zorion would fall in love with.
“No, not really. Nevertheless, I still have to notify you of such an incident.”
“Just use the money in the ount if it’s enough. Otherwise, you can call the bank and request for more.”
“There’s no need for that. I only need a few million.”
“Your pocket money is more than enough for that. Why did you have to call me to tell me all this?”
“You’re droning on and on again,” said Zorion before hanging up on the call. Rayan nced at his phone, thinking, “Am I really that talkative?”
“Give me your bank ount, and I’ll transfer the money to you,” said Zorion to the doctors as he opened the banking application on his phone.
One of them handed over his ount details to Zorion, and he reminded the doctor in return, “If something goes wrong, it won’t just be about the money.”
The doctor was quite confident as he insisted, “You can rest assured.”
Zorion then transferred the money over to the doctor. Raeleigh, who was lying on the bed, asked, “How much is it?”
Zorion took a look at Raeleigh but did not answer her question, only continuing to talk to the doctor. He also shook hands with him and suggested for Raeleigh to stay in the hospital for half a month.
The expenses, of course, needed another payment from Zorion.
Everything had been taken care of, and Raeleigh stayed in the hospital, Scarlette took care of her every day. Deanna was worried about Raeleigh, so she stayed in the hospital to attend to her as well.
After receiving a call informing them that Raeleigh was fine, Stuart asked Jepherson,“Mr. Jepherson, should we…”He wanted to confirm if they would go back home or stay.
“Book a room for me,” Jepherson did not wait for Stuart to finish speaking and interrupted him.
“Got it,” Stuart did exactly just that and then went to the hotel.
In the evening, Marissa called to inquire about Deanna’s situation.
“How are things? IsDeannaokay?”Marissawas really concerned about the matter. However, an entire day had passed, yetJepherson had not called her back, andMarissacould not sit still. Was Deanna’s injury serious or not?
Jephersonhad been sitting for a while. Upon receiving the call, he answered straightforwardly, “Deanna is fine.It wasn’t her who got hurt. Stuart didn’t know the situation clearly. It was Raeleigh who was injured.”From N?velDrama.Org.
Marissawas a little confused as she asked, “Didn’t Stuart say that it was Deanna who got stepped on? Why is Raeleigh the victim now?”
Jepherson gave her a brief rundown of the incident. He did not miss out on the fact that Zorion had brought Raeleigh over from abroad.
After hearing his exnation,Marissawas a little puzzled. She asked, “Jerry?”
“Yes?”Marissahad already been ustomed to calling Jepherson that nickname, and he could no longer change her ways.
Jepherson did not feel that there was anything amiss with his words, so he answered her naturally as well.
Marissaasked him, “What on earth is the matter with that Raeleigh girl? Why was she with Zorion?”
“Deannafelt guilty as Raeleigh always stood up for her, so she often helped Raeleigh in school. The incident this time should be because of Deanna again. I haven’t seen Zorion, so I don’t know the details. It’s gettingte, so I won’t return home today. I’ll see if I can go home tomorrow,” said Jepherson.However, Marrisa continued, “In any case, Raeleigh still got hurt because of you. SinceDeannahase forward to help, you’d better head over there to check things out. Otherwise,Deannamay think you are a cruel person.She is na?ve, and she gets taken advantage of quite easily.”
“I know. I’ll be there tomorrow.”
“That’s right. You’ve been traveling all day, and you’re tired. Rest well.It’s good that it wasn’t Deanna who got hurt,” Marissa hung up on the call after that. However, Jepherson did not rest all night. Stuart stood by his side the entire time, watching over him. He knew that Jepherson was worried for Raeleigh.
The next morning, Jepherson took a nap and immediately went to the hospital.
Raeleigh was resting, and her hand was tightly bandaged. Jepherson walked all the way from the corridor to the door of the ward. Standing outside the ward, he peered inside. Seeing that Raeleigh was sleeping, he was finally relieved.
Deanna was in the ward chatting with Scarlette when she noticed Jepherson, who was standing at the door. She instantly stood up and went towards him like a little bird flitting to a nest. Opening the door, she asked, “Jepherson, why are you here?”
“I’m here for a visit. How are things now? Was the operation sessful?” As Jephersonspoke, hepletely ignored Deanna. At the same time, Raeleigh woke up, and Zorion sat up from the other side of the room.
