Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1708

Even with the sudden addition to the house, Raeleigh had never felt unaccustomed to it. She was worried that the mute would sneak about the house and be discovered. Aside from that, Raeleigh called Jacky and asked him to prepare a passport for him.

Then for the next few days, Raeleigh took the mute for a tour around the manor.

She told him that her parents did not like for there to be too many people, hence when she had the time, she would take him to the garden at the back of the manor.

As a result, during an evening when he had wandered into the back garden by himself, someone had caught sight of him.

When Raeleigh heard about it, she had inquired into his reason for being there, but he didn't answer her.

"This place is too big. If you solely rely on your own two feet to get around, you may not be able to reach from one end to the other even within half a month. If that's the case, it'll be best for you to do something to occupy yourself."

Raeleigh just gave this as a suggestion, but the mute nodded in agreement.

The next day, Raeleigh found a management job for Callis in the manor. He could not speak, thus she asked him to manage some of the tools they had. His task everyday was to record and make an inventory forthem.

The mute was willing to do it. Initially, his handwriting was like chicken scratch but Raeleigh took a hands-on approach and taught him how to write.

The mute's adaptability was very strong. It didn't take long for him to fully get used to life in the manor.

And before they knew it, the day of Raeleigh's second operation had arrived.

Before she left, Raeleigh reassured him as to not worry about her and that she would be back soon, yet he insisted on going.

He pulled on her sleeve with a pleading look in his eyes.

Raeleigh sighed, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll be back tonight."

The mute shook his head and tugged on Raeleigh's hand.

"Then if you're going with me, don't wander off. I'm worried that no one can take care of you during my operation, plus this place isn't safe."

The mute nodded. He was very cooperative this time.

As he was so determined, Raeleigh had to take him to the hospital with her.

Once there, she received an examination while Xanthus arranged for someone to watch over the mute.

He waited for Raeleigh outside the operation room. During this period of time, Jared came, sat beside him and spoke a few words.

As the people around the area were foreigners, no one could understand what was said.

They just felt that as they were both from the same country so they had something in common to talk about.

The operation lasted for six hours. When Raeleigh was finally wheeled out, the mute stood up immediately and rushed towards the operating room door. At the moment, Raeleigh was in a

comatose state as part of Raeleigh's surgery involved her nerves. If they didn't put her under with general anesthesia, it would put a damper to her recovery.

When he saw the state she's in, he immediately looked for the doctor. One of the doctors told him, "Dr. Osteen is resting inside. You may go in to see him." He turned his head to look at Jared who quickly went in to check on Xanthus.

When the doctor noticed that he was still there, they then said, "The operation is very successful. Don't worry, after three years she will regain full mobility of her hand."

Although the other party had spoken in a foreign language, the mute was proficient in many languages of many different countries, it was impossible for him not to understand.

The mute frowned and tilted his head down to watch Raeleigh who had fallen asleep. He then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

The doctor didn't find this strange. Since he was allowed to be here, he must be someone really intimate.

It was just that the way he was dressed was somewhat different compared to Xanthus's and Raeleigh's own style, which always gave a sense of disharmony in some aspects.

The doctor pushed Raeleigh to the ward and the mute immediately followed them inside. When he arrived, Raeleigh had woken up. At her first glance at him, in her befuddled state, she thought she saw Jepherson in some parts of him.

The effect of anesthetics had yet to fully abate, therefore Raeleigh could only blink her eyes. The mute called for the doctor, who then came in together with a specialized attendant to take care of Raeleigh's post-operation.

While the doctor examined her, the mute fixed his eyes on Raeleigh. She could feel for herself that she had no strength in her body. When the doctor moved her, she was like a pile of soft clay.

Even so, she felt she had recovered little by little. After the doctor finished his checkup, she had already recovered quite considerably.

The doctor stepped back and briefly studied her. He then recommended some people to the mute before he left.

However, doctors were specially arranged and would not just leave her. They sat outside and waited.

Once the doctor went out, Raeleigh called the mute over to sit down and relax. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

He did as he was told. Afterwards, he took some tissue paper to wipe away her sweat. Raeleigh raised her good hand and returned the favor.

"I'm fine. Go and check up on my brother. He did the operation for six hours straight."

He had stood up to look for Xanthus when Jared ran over from the opposite direction. He immediately told him that Xanthus had collapsed and was now in the emergency room.

The doctor at Raeleigh's door did not get up. The mute noted that the inside of the hospital had a sense of order to it and for that reason, he returned to Raeleigh's side instead.

Raeleigh waited for news inside her ward room when Callis came back and sat beside her. Yet, he didn't tell her anything.

Raeleigh prompted, "Where is my brother?"

Callis shook his head and Raeleigh asked, "You didn't find him?"

He did not answer. Raeleigh turned and shouted towards the door, "Doctor."

The doctor came in at her call. She asked them about Xanthus's condition. The doctor told Raeleigh that he was fine and was resting. He might even come over later.

Raeleigh thanked the doctor who then went back outside. Raeleigh stared back at the mute who poured her some water, put a straw inside the glass and directed the straw to her mouth.

Raeleigh took a small sip before she shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to drink anymore. Then she fixed her gaze on him. "You knew my brother was too tired and didn't want to tell me what happened, right?"

He did not reply. He placed the cup aside and returned to his seat.

Raeleigh had no idea on how to deal with him. She couldn't even exert any strength at the moment. She just laid on the bed and slept.

However, when Raeleigh blinked herself awake, she found that Xanthus was all right and had come back. He sat by her side to keep her company, his face a little pale.

The mute was also there, but he still sat where he originally sat and Raeleigh was content.

"Why are you so stiff? Get up and move around. What, did you rent the chair?" Raeleigh joked with him. She felt better after she got a good amount of sleep and all her strength came back, only her hands still gave a light throb now and then. But she had the experience of the last operation to fall back on, and this one was completely within her expectations.

Pain would definitely be painful, but it wasn't that serious. She was already mentally prepared for it.

What's more, this time they even cast a plaster on her forearm. Under these circumstances, Raeleigh had nothing to be anxious about.

However, Raeleigh noted that the mute still seemed worried, thus she said, "You don't have to worry about me. I am really fine. My brother's operation always has a definite chance of success."

"Not all of them. There's no such thing as a complete 100% surgery, don't talk about your brother like he's something legendary." Xanthus couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, even if it was from someone close to him.

As an individual, they need to act a little humble and keep a low profile!

"Ha ha..."

At Xanthus's words, Raeleigh laughed out loud. Her brilliant, dainty face lit up in glee that was rarely seen, as bright as that of a little child's laughter.

The mute stared at Raeleigh, somewhat in a trance.

Raeleigh then turned her laughter towards him, "Have you gone silly?"

He pulled up the quilt for Raeleigh, then got up and left for the washroom.

When he came out, Raeleigh and Xanthus had chatted for quite a while. The brother and sister pair conversed with each other quite happily but stopped when the mute returned. Raeleigh looked towards him as he sat down close beside her, stuck to her hip as if they were conjoined babies that had grown alongside the bed.
