Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1753

When Raeleigh woke up, she was already in the hospital. She looked towards the window where Crevor stood. She moved a little and made a sound of pain as her body throbbed all over. At the sound, Crevor turned around to look at her together with the others in the room.

Xanthus, Maverly, and the rest of the gang hurried to her side.

At the sight of so many people, Raeleigh paused for a moment and then looked towards Xanthus, "What happened to me?"

"What are you thinking sbout?" Xanthus was so frustrated with Raeleigh that all his worries a moment ago were swept clean away.

"I'm fine, aren't I?"

"How can you be fine when you've been beaten to this state?" Xanthus huffed and puffed with restrained anger, especially towards himself. If his cell phone hadn't been in the living room, if he hadn't just concentrated on everything in the bedroom, a near disaster like this wouldn't have happened.

Raeleigh wore a smile, "I am still sick. What are you angry with me for?"

Xanthus was stunned and sat down. "You really make me want to tear my hair out. You actually want to frustrate me to death, don't you?"

"You would be worried to death, not frustrated. Have you ever seen a guy this frustrated before?" Raeleigh laughed with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Come here, I have something to tell you." Raeleigh motioned Xanthus over. He leaned closer as she whispered something into his ear. He slowly pulled away, "Are you sure?"

Raeleigh nodded. "I'm sure."

"If you do this, then next time you..."

"No problem. I can handle what will happen next."

Raeleigh had belief in her capabilities.

Xanthus revealed then, "The driver is dead. He died before he could make it to the hospital due to his severe injuries. I didn't want to tell you this at first as you just woke up. But based on how things are now, this couldn't be covered up even if I wanted to. You had to be told.

"Now, the case is under investigation." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I also think that his injury was too severe. You go home, don't scare Maverly with this. In addition, help me go back to the company and calm things down. Have Ariana go back too. My newly recruited assistant is still in the adapting phase.

The company can't fall into chaos, you know that." "Then you must have people protecting you."

"I'm fine, as long as I can still walk I'll get things done. Let Jenny come, she can take care of me."

Raeleigh reasoned things out. Although Xanthus was still distressed, he had more important things to carry out. Hence, he stood up and went towards Crevor.

Although he had reservations about him, Crevor was the one who helped Raeleigh out this time. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if Crevor hadn't risked being sentenced with charges to save her.

"I'll be heading back to Raeleigh's company, thank you for all you've done."

"All right, go ahead. I'm free at this moment, I can help you take care of her."

Xanthus did not speak any further. He turned and left with Maverly. He first called assistant Ariana and had Jacian transferred over to someone else for the time being. He then sent Maverly over and had her stay there as she had learned some management skills from the considerable experience she gained from the hospital doing something similar. With Ariana's help, Maverly should be able to keep the company afloat.

Afterwards, Xanthus issued a certified document for Raeleigh.

When everything had been settled, he returned to the manor to check on Jared.

Jared was still confined inside the house. When he saw Xanthus, he immediately stood up. He only got external injuries on his leg, he wanted to go out.

"Where is she?" Jared roared out the moment Xanthus came into view.

"In the hospital. Let me take a look at your leg. Were there any problems?"

"I'm going to see her."

Just as Jared made to leave, Xanthus slammed a vicious punch into his face. As it happened so suddenly, the force of the punch almost knocked Jared down. Xanthus then picked up a wooden chair that had toppled to the ground and hit Jared's body with it before he could react. It was only because he was driven by instinct that Jared managed to raise his hand to defend himself.

With a loud crack, the chair broke into smithereens.

Xanthus grabbed another chair and hurled it towards Jared.

All his pent up anger was now directed towards the main culprit of this whole issue. If it weren't for

Jared, things wouldn't have come to this. This was all his fault.

Jared didn't bother to evade. He just stood there and took everything. Xanthus's anger indicated that some trouble had occurred.

"What happened?" Jared asked the moment Xanthus stopped to take a breather. Xanthus swallowed down his saliva and said, "Raeleigh was taken away and got locked up in the police station. She then got harassed inside, and when she retaliated, the police beat her black and blue."

Jared stiffened. "And now?"

"She is recovering in the hospital, but she might be sentenced to go to prison."

"Prison?"

Jared exclaimed in shock. "I was the one who did it. I'll go."

"Haha..." Xanthus was so furious he laughed, but there was a ferocious light in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at how Raeleigh's efforts are in vain! Everyone is anxious about her except for you!"

Jared didn't reply immediately. Xanthus scoffed, "Jepherson is a fool and you're no better.

Raeleigh took the blame all for your sake. If you go to take her place, then both of you will go down together. Is that your intention?"

Jared was silent, a grim expression on his face. "Did she ask you to find me?"

"Hmph, I really don't understand. What right does a person like you have for Raeleigh to treat you this way? One Jepherson was enough to turn her around like a fool. She will do anything for him, even die and go to jail."

"Why would she do that? I'll be fine even if I go to prison."

"Are you really stupid? Those people will definitely kill you once you're inside, you think you'll be able to come out again?"

Jared carefully went through his memories before he asked. "What should we do now? Let her go to jail?"

"I won't let Raeleigh go to jail. Now, let me have a look at your injury." Xanthus actually couldn't be bothered to look at it, but he had to since Raeleigh asked it of him.

"I'm fine now."

"Just let me take a look to reassure her."

Once Xanthus said as such, Jared cooperated then and showed Xanthus his leg after he sat down. There were only some grazes, nothing too serious, but it still needed to be attended to in order to avoid any infection.

After he came out of his confinement, Jared went to wash up the parts he was allowed to wash and changed his clothes.

"I don't trust anyone but Raeleigh needs someone to keep an eye on her. You can go, but don't let Crevor's people discover your presence. She told me that you are the only one who can do it, however, you can't be careless this time. Don't mess things up.

She also wanted me to tell you that she also hates the people from the Doyle family because they had harmed Santiago. However, if only Stella dies, there is still Crevor. If only Crevor dies, there is still Stella. You have to think carefully, whether by hook or by crook, on how to get them in one swoop."

Jared turned to leave without a word. Xanthus breathed a sigh of relief then, and headed for the place he wanted to go.

It was very quiet inside the ward. In the middle of her rest, the police knocked on her door and entered.

Raeleigh was roused from her doze and stared at the police by the door. Crevor was present at the time and rose from his seat with a sense of capable ease together with her lawyers. However, they didn't say anything as, with the exception of Crevor, this matter had been solved.

The police officers studied Raeleigh's condition and had to helplessly leave her be for now. All the same, Raeleigh was now sentenced as a felon, hence they did not leave the premises but stood guard outside her door.

As if they were afraid that she was going to make a run for it.
