Chapter 1813
Chapter 1813
When Stuart was leaving, Raeleigh was the only one who saw him off. The members of the Wagner family stood outside the house and burst into tears. Seeing Stuart depart into the distance, they were afraid that he would not return. Melinda asked Chirsen to chase after Stuart. Raeleigh stopped the car and Stuart got out of it to say a few words to Chirsen. Only then did he leave.
It took Raeleigh several days before she came back alone.
"Where is Stuart?"
Meeting her, Jepherson asked. Raeleigh answered, "Stuart told me not to reveal it. He wants to live his own life."
Jepherson was not in a good mood. He turned around and went back to sit down. There were other people in the living room, including Alvin, Hansen and Jenna.
Jenna wanted to ask Raeleigh about Shaney as Jepherson didn't tell her after she inquired, but the matter concerning Stuart had left her heartbroken. For a time, she couldn't speak out the words stuck in her throat.
Without saying anything, she turned around and went elsewhere. Raeleigh stood there for a moment before casting a look in Jepherson's direction. He was remorseful for Stuart because he ordered Stuart to provoke Geraldine, which caused her to instruct Hanschel to treat Lucy in that way.
He didn't stop Stuart from leaving as he couldn't bring himself to face Stuart.
His decision had led to the ruin of another person's entire life. A defeat was not a big deal to him. What mattered was that he had caused a tremendous problem.
The fact that he was reticent about it didn't mean he was unaware of it. It was because he knew it clearly that he had been engulfed by an incessant feeling of dejection.
Raeleigh said, "I'm here to inform you that he's safe. If there is nothing else, I'll leave first. I've brought the car back."
As Raeleigh spoke, she walked outside. Jenna got anxious and pulled her. "Raeleigh, why don't you go and check on Santiago?"
Raeleigh paused shortly. "I almost forgot that I wanted to pay him a visit."
Raeleigh turned and headed for Santiago's room. Jenna shot daggers at Jepherson, motioning him to follow.
Only then did Jepherson get up and follow them.
Inside Santiago's room, just when Raeleigh had sat down, Jepherson also went in. Jenna said hurriedly, "Raeleigh, let me fix something delicious for you. Help me keep an eye on Santiago."
Jenna was like the elders in the past. She was willing to risk everything for her son, and she was determined to make Raeleigh stay no matter what.
Raeleigh did not say anything but just stared at Santiago's clean face.
It had been four years since he fell into a coma.
Time flew by so fast that six years would pass in no time. The doctor said that he only had ten years, but Raeleigh hoped he had an indefinite duration.
It was just that...
Jepherson walked behind Raeleigh and sat on another chair. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Raeleigh felt the urge to laugh, but she did not as an air of desolation surrounded her.
"Where is Shaney?"
Raeleigh looked back at the person who was speaking. "I'll tell you if I know it." "You've lied to me on a lot of things, haven't you?" Both of them fell silent. Jepherson then said, "I'm too tired to continue. I'll go to live with you in the future and only after Shaney has come back will we talk about our matters."
Raeleigh gazed at him. "What else can you do other than robbing and threatening?"
"I don't know how I can control you without these tactics!"
As their eyes met, Raeleigh decided to avert hers first. In her mind, it was meaningless to argue with him.
She simply stopped talking.
However, Jepherson would never give ground on this issue.
"Give me his contact information. I'll find him myself."
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, intending to say something, but she didn't in the end. She took out her phone and handed it to Jepherson. "The password is 123321. Have it your way. Utilize it if you can discover any useful information. If you can't, then forget it. After you've done with it, give it back to me. I'm going to Waverly Village. Ask someone to deliver it over to me. I don't need it for the next two days."
Raeleigh had made herself clear to the point of giving a sense of oppression.
Jepherson did not reject it. He kept her phone. As for her as a person? He would think of a way to keep her too.
"Stay here tonight to take care of Santiago. Mom isn't in good health and she needs to rest for two days. My parents are quarreling now. I'll go check it out."
Raeleigh's eyes landed on Jepherson, listening to his words in confusion. Even so, she didn't move. Jepherson walked away with her phone. Leaving the room, he didn't come back, neither did Jenna. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Raeleigh did not care about it since Jepherson would not be able to find anything from her phone. It was quiet in the room. Raeleigh fell asleep while fixing her eyes on Santiago for a night.
Raeleigh woke up the next morning to find that she was on the bed, sleeping beside Santiago. There was no one in Santiago's room except for the two of them. She looked around the room, wondering who carried her onto the bed.
There was no one else in the room. Santiago was a patient who was lying on the bed in a coma.
She pondered if Jepherson had come in.
She got out of the bed and was ready to go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she heard someone say, "So early?"
Raeleigh was reeling in amazement as tears streamed down from her eyes.
She didn't even dare to turn around to check it for fear that it was just a mirage.
When she turned around, there was indeed someone opening his eyes behind her, beaming at her. Raeleigh lifted her hand to cover her mouth, but she failed to cover her sobs.
Santiago sat up on the bed and took Raeleigh into his arms.
Raeleigh wept so hard that she almost fainted. Her reaction gave Santiago bloodshot eyes. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "It's rare for someone to wait for me for so many years and cry while cuddling me. It seems that I'm favored by beauties."
Raeleigh kept shedding tears. Outside, Jenna felt something wrong, wondering why Raeleigh had been weeping. Even if she was sad, there was no way she would weep for such a long time and so loudly.
Jenna went in to have a look. It was only after she had entered the room that she found out the two people inside were crying together while hugging each other.
Jenna was holding a tray in her hands. She got up two hours early in the morning just to make breakfast for Raeleigh.
However...
With a clack, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Jenna stood rooted to the spot at the doorway. What happened?
Was she having a dream? She wondered why.
Jenna was petrified.
Raeleigh continued to embrace Santiago and cried her eyes out. It seemed that she was venting all her pain in one go. Jenna also did not move, and a flood of uncontrollable tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that Santiago had woken up and was hugging the sobbing Raeleigh, the servants ran out of the room as if they were mad and announced that Mr. Santiago had come around.
Soon, many people came to Santiago's side. He wore a white shirt and Raleigh lay in his arms and cried non- stop. The members of the Richards Family were thrilled and worried at the same time. It seemed to them that something was amiss. Why was Raeleigh crying so hard? Even though she had been close to Santiago, she had wept to an inordinate point.
Jepherson was also there, but he didn't say anything else. After he woke up, Santiago had been smiling. It was just that it was weird for this
kind of smile to appear on the face of someon who just awoke and was skinny like Santiago.
