Santiago did not know what to do as Raeleigh cried in his arms. He stood there, frozen in his steps. Then, he slowly raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Raeleigh as she cried. The crowd around them was just staring at them. The younger people were afraid of Santiago. No one had any idea what was going on when he suddenly shouted a while ago.
The old man was not afraid of Santiago. He pointed to Santiago and said, "Your girlfriend is afraid to go through with the surgery. She is not willing to do it. You, as her boyfriend, are very irresponsible for forcing her to go for the surgery. How dare you yell here? And your parents, how have they raised you?"
It was rare for Santiago not to say a word. He looked pale. Santiago glanced at the people around him before he bent down to pick Raeleigh up and turned to leave.
Raeleigh kept on crying. She could not express the grievance in her heart. Santiago did not say anything and carried her straight back to the car.
Santiago placed her at the back of the car. He looked at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror and asked, "What the h*ll is going on?"
Raeleigh lowered her head and gradually stopped crying, but she did not answer his question.
Raeleigh did not know what to say. What would happen if she told people about her situation?
Raeleigh was in pain, alone. If she had told Santiago, then he would definitely confront Jepherson. At that time, both of them would be in pain. It was already painful enough for Raeleigh. She did not want Jepherson to blame himself for this matter.
After crying for a while, Raeleigh wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Don't tell your brother what happened today. I don't want him to know that I'm afraid to give birth."
Santiago furrowed his brows. He already had a face that resembled a demon. However, his straight face made him look even more like a demon.
"What's there to be afraid of? You're not a man." Santiago gave Raeleigh an angry stare. If Raeleigh hadn't been keeping a secret, then she would have laughed at his words. However, she could not bring herself to say anything. She could not even muster a smile. She was a little worried about facing Santiago like this.
Santiago always had a boorish behavior and he looked like he couldn't care less. However, his shrewdness was no less than Jepherson. He was born in a prominent family like the Richards family, yet he could endure the humiliation and shape such a pathetic image for himself in Capital City. It was easy to imagine how scheming he was.
How many people in this society were fools?
Raeleigh believed that there would not be any.
The Richards family was rich and powerful. If Hansen had allowed his sons to take their separate paths, then it meant that their family was no ordinary family.
Raeleigh lowered her head and said, "I don't know."
Santiago paused for a moment before saying, "Even if you're not sure, it's not right of you even to consider terminating the pregnancy. If my brother finds out, then you'll have to bear the consequences."
Santiago had purposely said that to scare Raeleigh. She raised her head to look at him with a pale face. She was aware of this as well. She knew that if Jepherson found out, then she would not be able to bear the consequences.
It would have been fine if Raeleigh was involved in this matter alone. What worried her the most was that Jepherson would be in more pain than her.
Jepherson had been looking for his sister for so long yet he still could not find her. What happened if they had committed incest? What were they going to do?
Raeleigh sighed. There was no way out of this.
Their baby was the most pitied one in this matter. They were made out of love, yet they could not come to this world because of love. It was extremely cruel!
Raeleigh wore a terrible expression on her face when thinking of this. She touched her belly and felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to cry. For a moment, she felt that she had exhausted all of her energy. There was no one who could save her. What was she going to do?
