Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1029

It had been two days since Santiago woke up. He was still feeling dizzy. His headache had not subsided either.

As he woke up, he saw Raeleigh and Jepherson by his side. The rest of the visitors had left.

"How are you feeling?" Raeleigh asked.

Santiago laughed and said, "Feeling groggy, of course. Haven't you seen my current state?"

Raeleigh was speechless. "I was just expressing my concern," she said.

Sitting at the opposite side of the ward, Jepherson' s face darkened.

It was at that moment that Santiago added, "I feel a little pain."

Jepherson's mood had visibly improved. Raeleigh looked at Santiago and said, "Be sure to tell me immediately if you ever feel unwell."

"Okay, I will." Santiago then smiled at Jepherson and said, "I'm feeling alright. You may make a move."

"Nah, I'll stay here and look after you," Jepherson said. Amused, Santiago then replied, "No worries, Raeleigh's here. Go."

Jepherson remained seated. Santiago reckoned that he would not want to leave. Hence, he stopped cajoling him to leave.

Now that Santiago had woken up, Raeleigh went to buy him some porridge and eggs. However, Jepherson stopped Santiago from eating the eggs, as they were not good for his wound-healing regimen. Raeleigh was not aware of it, so she felt a little sheepish. She then gave the eggs to Jepherson.

Santiago could not get up to eat. Jepherson fed him, although it was not quite appropriate to see one man feeding another man.

Therefore, Raeleigh took over.

Raeleigh held the bowl with her left hand and the spoon with her right hand. She then blew on the porridge to cool it off. At that moment, someone knocked the door. Zorion and Deanna came in.

The two siblings paused for a moment as they stood at the entrance of the ward. Deanna had even dressed up and put on some light make-up.

It was rather decent make- up. She looked beautiful.

Raeleigh did not turn around. She was feeding Santiago a spoonful of porridge. Santiago seemed as though he was mesmerized. Puzzled, she then turned around to look at Zorion and Deanna. "Such stunningly good-looking siblings," she thought.

Deanna walked towards Raeleigh. She paused for a while and said, "Let me help you."

Raeleigh hesitated. "Are you sure?" she said.

Raeleigh would not have asked if it was Scarlette volunteering to help to feed Santiago. Since it was Deanna, she felt compelled to ask.

Santiago was recuperating from the operation after all. He had to eat well, so that he could recover.

Deanna thought for a moment and said, "I used to feed my parents and my brother whenever they're sick. Although I can't cook and do laundry, I can certainly tend to people whenever they're sick."

Raeleigh nodded and stood up. "Right, have a seat," she said.

"Okay," Deanna said as she reached out to hold the bowl carefully. She was afraid of being clumsy, lest Raeleigh thought she could not do a good job. Raeleigh smiled as she sat down.

Despite feeling a little awkward, Deanna was quite focused on her task. She scooped a spoonful of porridge and blew on it repeatedly to cool it off. Her efforts were so painstaking that she gave the impression that she wanted to cool that spoonful of porridge by putting it into her mouth before feeding Santiago.

Santiago had a headache. Besides that, he was ravenous. Therefore, it did not matter who fed him.

Santiago opened his mouth as Deanna fed him. Soon after that, he almost downed the entire bowl of porridge. There were two eggs initially, but Jepherson ate them. Indeed, a growing 17-year-old teenager had a hearty appetite.

Raeleigh stood up. "Santiago, are you still hungry?" she asked.

Santiago looked at Raeleigh and said, "Yeah."

"I'm go and get some food then," Raeleigh said before walking out of the ward. As she closed the door, Jepherson glanced at Deanna before directing his gaze at Santiago.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

It was not long before Raeleigh returned to the ward. As she walked into the ward, she removed the lunchbox's lid. Deanna took the lunchbox and noticed it was chicken porridge. She reckoned that Santiago's hunger would likely be satiated.

Deanna blew on the porridge. Santiago could be seen gazing intently at her little rosy lips. Raeleigh saw him staring at Deanna intently, as did Jepherson and Zorion.
