Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1156

It had been a few days since Santiago had been hospitalized. Raeleigh's hand had fully healed, and they were about to be discharged. However, Jepherson did not show up in the past few days, nor did he contact Raeleigh either. It was Raeleigh who took the initiative to call him twice. Although he did answer the phone, he was no longer as gentle as before. There was still warmth in his tone albeit different.

Raeleigh hung up the phone and looked over at Scarlette. "Let's go. Jepherson is not coming. He has something to attend to."

"He's not coming even when you're being discharged today?" Scarlette complained in a low voice.

"Let's go." Raeleigh exited the ward, followed by Scarlette and the rest as they all headed home together. Xanthus was a great help. He even sent them home. When they arrived home, he got out of the car and went up to Novalie's room to explain to her the situation.

Raeleigh stood aside. Novalie lifted her head and took a look at her granddaughter. She instantly knew that Raeleigh and Jepherson must have had a fallout and was not on talking terms.

"Raeleigh, Xanthus has helped you a lot recently. Why don't you ask him to stay for lunch?" Novalie asked. Raeleigh immediately agreed. "Alright then. I'll go and inform Serra."

"Go ahead."

Raeleigh turned around and went down to the kitchen to inform Serra that they would be having an extra guest for lunch. After that, Raeleigh sat in the living room. She kept thinking about what she did to have Jepherson distance himself from her. Could it be that he had misunderstood her?

Santiago was also sitting in the living room with Cynthia. The two were watching TV when Cynthia's phone rang. Santiago briefly looked at the caller ID and realized it was Flynt who was calling.

"Flynt..."

Cynthia's face immediately turned pale when she heard her brother's words. Then, she looked over at Santiago. She could not believe it when her brother told her that two of Yanora's fingers had been chopped off. Not only that, but she had also been molested.

Flynt sounded furious when he informed Cynthia of what had happened. He even told her that he was currently standing outside their house.

Cynthia put her cell phone aside and turned to

look at Santiago. "Did you do it?"

Santiago nodded solemnly.

"Didn't we agree to let it go?" Cynthia sounded weak when she said that. She knew that she shouldn't have said anything about that matter, but Yanora was her sister. How could she stand by and do nothing?

Santiago seemed unperturbed. "There's nothing I can do. Jepherson is mad about what happened. If he had taken action, then I'm sure your sister would have lost more than just two fingers."

Cynthia pondered for a moment before saying, "I get it."

Raeleigh sat aside. Cynthia felt unpleasant. Yanora was nearly violated. Although she deserved punishment, she could not accept that Santiago had asked his men to chop her sister's fingers off. Couldn't he give her a good beating instead?

Santiago stood up. Even though he had been discharged from the hospital, his arm was still bandaged, in a sling.

Santiago stood at the door and looked outside. When he saw Flynt standing at the door, he stepped out.

Before he reached the door, he could already hear Flynt yelling at him.

"Santiago, you're inhumane! That's my sister! Why did you have to do that to her?" That was the first time that Flynt had lost his temper. He initially thought that with Cynthia around, Santiago would not do anything out of line. But right then, it seemed that he was literally a psycho.

Cynthia did not dare to leave the house. She sat in the living room, clenching her hands in a tight fist. She did not even dare to return home right then. She was going to be homeless soon, and her family would call her a black sheep.

Raeleigh understood how she was feeling. That was why she did not say anything. Instead, she went out to check on Santiago.
