Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1627

Thinking of Santiago, Raeleigh slowly averted her gaze. Jepherson asked her, "Are you worried?"

Raeleigh picked up a piece of garment and draped it over him. Their height difference was so striking, that Raeleigh had to lift herself onto her toes to be able to properly wrapped the garment around him

"It may be warm outside, but you can't be careless."

Raeleigh sat back down, and yet Jepherson stood where he was, behind her with his hands clasped behind his back.

Amidst the garden these two figures were, during a season where flowers bloomed in bursts of colors, akin to a painting brought to life.

Yet no one knew what had happened between them, nor why it had become the way it was now?

Louisa came out from the couple's room and stood at the doorway, her eyes on these two people.

Louisa didn't know what was going on with Raeleigh. She only felt that the Raeleigh before her now was really lonely.

Everyone stayed in the yard until five to six o'clock in the afternoon, when Louisa suddenly had abdominal pains. They hurried to the hospital, tagged along by Raeleigh who took the initiative to invite Serra, who used to work for Santiago, and assigned her the role of caretaker to Louisa.

The rest, together with Raeleigh, were ill at ease throughout the delivery, which helped to calm Serra a little.

Louisa successfully gave birth to a baby girl, whose gender everyone already knew, without any mishap.

Raeleigh accompanied Louisa in the hospital for two days. After that, once Louisa was given a clean bill of health, she returned to the Richards family and settled down.

"In a little while, I'll be heading out to see Jacky."

Jepherson was now fine and back at work. The first thing he did was not to return to the company, but to go and visit Jacky.

Raeleigh stood in the room and asked, "Are you going there to retrieve that person?"

Jepherson's gaze was deep and mysterious. "If I am, what would you think?"

Raeleigh was silent for a moment, "Our standpoints are different. If it were my true thoughts, I hope that Jacky will take care of it.

However, in terms of justice, if Jacky took care of this matter, it would be equivalent to digging his own grave.

If you yourself couldn't deal with the Doyle family, then Jacky would stand a lesser chance going against them.

Whatsmore, you're already the Doyle family's enemy, you don't have much care for this."

Raeleigh's words made Jepherson's mouth twitch. "Why didn't you mention that my intention was to save her?"

Raeleigh asked back, "Are you?"

He didn't answer. He gazed at Raeleigh with his deep- set eyes that carried a faint trace of tenderness.

Raeleigh turned away and walked towards the door, "I am going to change my clothes."

Jepherson's body turned, his gaze trained on her retreating figure. Once she was out of his line of sight, he turned back around to study the person laid out on the bed.

The most poisonous thing in this world was hatred. Jepherson gritted his teeth. How could he simply let go of the person who had harmed Santiago?

Raeleigh changed her clothes and went out together with Jepherson.

But when they arrived at the hospital, they found out that Jacky had already been discharged and returned to Waverly Village. They had missed him by just a few seconds.

Jepherson sent someone to the village but when they reached the village borders, none of them could go in.

Raeleigh got out of the car in time to hear someone say, "Mr. Richards, please go back. Jacky has said that he can't do it and will not agree."

The other party beared down on them with menace. They were unwilling to hand over the person to Jepherson, which already made their position clear.

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, you go."

Raeleigh nodded. She looked over at Jared. "Let Jared accompany me inside."

"Jared, go with her."

"As you wish."

Jared followed Raeleigh into the village. She was in no hurry to get in this time, but she was still quite surprised when she saw Stella.

Stella was locked up in a dog cage, with her hair disheveled and her clothes unkempt.

When Stella caught sight of her, she lunged towards Raeleigh with a roar of fury, as if she had done something treacherous for her to end up that way.

Raeleigh stood in place for a bit before she headed in her direction. She stopped a foot away from the cage and scrutinized her closely.

"You can walk?"

Stella laughed in contempt, "You think I'm unable to?"

A thought came to light in her mind and Raeleigh suddenly asked, "You did it intentionally?"

Stella laughed again, "You are the only ones who thought that my legs were really broken. I just wanted an opportunity to cut myself away from Stuart while he's injured, but who knew that everyone of you with your pig brains actually believed it!."

Raeleigh wasn't happy when she heard this, but neither was she sad over the situation with Stuart.

Many things had happened since then, she no longer ached over the past.

Instead, she directed her gaze at Stella and said, "You reaped what you sow. These words are most suitable for you."

Raeleigh turned around and looked at the crowd that was in the middle of preparing a funeral.

Someone in the group wailed out their grief, an urn of cremated ashes in their embrace. Raeleigh looked down at her stomach and recalled from an elderly of Waverly Village that pregnant women could not attend a burial as it would bring bad luck to the child.

But then she thought of Logan, so Raeleigh slipped into the crowd of people that came to attend the funeral.

It had already been two months and Jacky had almost fully recovered.

Raeleigh stayed by Jacky's side, and the people under Jacky intentionally made way for her in light of her well-being.

Jacky wore an all black ensemble. From top to toe, inside and out, it was as dark as the darkness found in the deepest gorge. The type of darkness that was unable to be penetrated by normal sight alone and sent chills down the spine.

The only splash of color to break the darkness was a white belt around his waist.

Raeleigh murmured, "I'm sorry for your loss."

Jacky continued to walk ahead as if he hadn't seen her but this did not deter her. She continued to follow by his side.

When they arrived at the burial site, Raeleigh stopped and watched as Jacky took the urn and placed it into the grave with his own hands. He then tossed a handful of dirt into the grave.

Harvey knelt on the ground with heaving, agonized sobs. The people around them watched as his figure bent down in grief and secretly cried along with him.

After Logan's burial had been completed, Raeleigh calmly looked towards Jacky.

Jacky ordered his men to leave while he remained in front of Logan's tomb, his eyes on Harvey who was about to cry to the point of passing out.

Raeleigh watched this scene in front and suddenly felt aggrieved.

However, Jacky did not cry, neither did he shed a tear.

Raeleigh stood there for a while and seized the opportunity to say, "I was called here by Jepherson. And I think you know why."

Jacky laughed mirthlessly, "I already said that I won't give that person to him, did he already forget?"

"Being an enemy of the Doyle family will not benefit you. Even if the Doyle family wants to punish Stella, they won't allow you to interfere."

"Raeleigh..."

Jacky spoke slowly. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Jacky's cold, sharp face, "Mm." "What is our relationship with each other?"

Raeleigh answered, "We're friends."

"I don't have many friends, Santiago is my friend. I don't have any brothers, Logan is my brother. I don't have a confidante, you are my confidante."

Jacky turned to peer at her as she gave it some thought, "You..."

"Stella hurt Santiago and even had Logan killed. She also tried to attack you..."

Raeleigh looked at Logan's tombstone, a little hesitant. "I understand. Do what you have to do. I won't interfere." she relented.

"Thank you!"

Jacky immediately strode off, a passed out Harvey left behind.

Once Raeleigh noticed that everyone had left, she asked Jared to carry Harvey to the hospital.

Raeleigh hadn't come back for close to three months. The hospital had been renovated as well as updated since.

Raeleigh came back amidst the final stages of the renovations, just to admit Harvey into the hospital.

Just as Harvey was laid out on the hospital bed, Raeleigh also heard wind of the fact that Jacky was going to deal with Stella.

Raeleigh came out of the hospital, and watched the hustle and bustle of passersby around the area. From NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not join the crowd, just stood by the entrance of the hospital lost in thought.

"Jared, make a call for me."

Jared called and informed Jepherson. He immediately forced his way inside, but by then all that was left was a puddle of blood on the ground. Jacky sat on a chair, surrounded by a group of people. More than a dozen vicious looking dogs wandered around, and each one of them licked the ground.
