Raeleigh sat in the waiting room and waited for Santiago to emerge from the examination room.
The doctor said that Santiago had to be hospitalized to monitor his condition, but he refused. Raeleigh had no choice but to persuade him.
"You're seriously injured. What happens if your wound flares up?" Raeleigh kept on lecturing him. Xanthus couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested, "If you don't want to spend the night in the hospital, then you can stay at my place. I can take care of you. I have all the necessary equipment at home, and I'm quite experienced in this."
"Fine, I'll stay in the hospital," Santiago said all of a sudden. Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh. In fact, he did not have all the necessary equipment at home. He made it all up.
Raeleigh pursed her lips and took a look at Xanthus when she realized that he had used reverse psychology on Santiago.
Raeleigh intended to help Santiago with the hospital admission procedure. However, Xanthus stopped her and said, "You're pregnant. You'd better be careful. Leave it to me. You can stay and accompany him."
With that, Xanthus went to the registration counter to complete the admission procedure while Raeleigh accompanied Santiago to his ward. By the time Xanthus was done, Raeleigh had already fallen asleep.
Xanthus was a little worried about Raeleigh, so he gave her an injection. Raeleigh opened her eyes and was about to move when Xanthus said, "Don't move. I'm going to give you an injection for the baby. Don't be afraid."
Raeleigh did not move and waited for Xanthus to give her the injection. Taking his seat, Xanthus said, "You can continue sleeping. I called Novalie and told her that you'd be spending the night at my place. You can give her a call when you wake up."
"Alright." Raeleigh then went back to sleep with ease. After Raeleigh fell asleep, Xanthus turned around and looked at Santiago, who was awake, before leaving the room to get some food. When he came back, he sat at the side, and the two of them did not say a single word to each other. Santiago was not in the mood to explain what had happened, so he gave Cynthia a call.
Cynthia had been waiting for his call ever since he had left. When she heard that he was injured, she could not help bursting into tears.
"Could you please come over to take care of me and Raeleigh? You shouldn't go home. I'll inform Flynt." After hanging up the phone, Santiago called Flynt.
Flynt was surprised when he received Santiago's call. He then asked Santiago, "What's the matter?"
"I don't want to explain what happened earlier, but I don't want you to worry about Cynthia. I'm calling you to give you a warning. I'm going to let this one slide for the sake of Cynthia. If it ever happens again, then there will be trouble."
Then, Santiago hung up the phone. Flynt immediately tried to call him back, but Santiago refused to answer the phone.
At that time, Flynt was already lying in bed. He immediately got up and got off the bed to put his clothes on, walking out of the room. Along the way, he had an unpleasant look on his face because he had no idea what had actually happened and why Santiago had said such a thing. It was obvious he was implying that the Moore family was involved in that matter.
Flynt did not forget what had happened a few days back. As a result of Quirina's matter, Santiago went straight to Meica's residence. Soon after that, Quirina was r*ped. That matter caused a storm, and people eventually found out that Quirina had undergone plastic surgery. The news was spread throughout the entire world. Even though Old Master Johan had decided not to meddle in the affair, it had a great impact. At least right then, his father did not dare to leave the house and could do nothing at home.
Flynt did not have a good impression of his father, but the Richards family was ruthless. As for Meica, he had no idea how she was doing right then. The last he heard was that she had been hospitalized because she had a stroke. As for Quirina, he hadn't seen her recently. However, if Santiago wanted to cause trouble for Meica and the rest, then he would not have called to give him a heads-up.
Flynt went out of the door and headed straight to Raeleigh's house. However, when he arrived at the place, he realized that no one was home. It was only then he called Cynthia. She informed him that she was currently at the hospital.
"We're in the hospital. I'm fine, but Raeleigh and Santiago are injured. It's late. You don't have to come over. If anything happens, then you can wait until I return home tomorrow."
Cynthia had never thought about the consequences of the matter. At present, the only ones she cared about were Raeleigh and Santiago. So, she hung up the phone and went to the ward. When she saw Santiago lying in bed, injured, she could not stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.
Santiago's expression darkened when he saw Cynthia crying. "What are you crying for? I'm fine."
