Jepherson was none too pleased to hear that. "You know, Raeleigh hasn't offended you in any way."
Zorion glanced at Raeleigh and laughed. "She hasn't offended me alright, but I didn't do anything to her. I just told her not to block my way."
"I know very well how you treat Raeleigh. I just want to warn you that there won't come a day when you'll be able to do anything to her."
"So what if I do something to her? What can you do to me?" Zorion retorted. Raeleigh went near Jepherson and pulled him. "Forget it. Let's go. Since Deanna is fine, Scarlette can be at ease too. Let's go back first. We have no business here anymore."
Raeleigh had a very bad feeling at that time. She felt that Zorion was going to make a clean break with them since Deanna had been found.
It was Santiago who had found Deanna, but Zorion hadn't expressed his gratitude at all. Raeleigh thought it was too ungrateful of him to have said those harsh words.
Nonetheless, Raeleigh didn't want them to stir up trouble and quarrel over her. That was why she pulled Jepherson from the seat.
Jepherson passed through the corridor with Raeleigh in his arms. He stopped after a few steps and turned back to look at Zorion, who remained seated. "Nobody wants to find fault with you. Something is already wrong from the very beginning. I also regret it."
Jepherson left with Raeleigh after he finished his words. Only then did Zorion turn to stare at his back.
Santiago walked up to Zorion. "Be careful."
Zorion looked up at Santiago, who had already left. "Mind your own business."
Santiago did not look back. He turned around and walked to the other side. After that, he followed Jepherson and Raeleigh into the elevator. As the door of the elevator was closed, Raeleigh said, "You didn't have to pick a bone with him."
Jepherson shot a glance at her. "He was in the wrong."
"For certain shameless people, you don't need to treat them with civility and respect," Santiago said, thrusting his hands into his pockets. Raeleigh was lost for words. The two brothers were definitely born from the same parents, but how were their manners and behavior totally different?
Raeleigh didn't say anything else. The two would solve their own affairs.
In addition, they were on the same page regarding this matter, which was against Zorion. Given that Zorion had a relationship with the Richards family, they wouldn't cross the line. Therefore, Raeleigh was not worried about it.
When they stepped out of the elevator, Santiago yawned as he walked, feeling a little tired.
Raeleigh looked at him. "Are you tired?"
"Kind of. I will go back and rest." Santiago took a nap in the car after leaving the hospital. Raeleigh happened to sit beside him. Hence, he nestled his head against her shoulder. Jepherson shot daggers at him before he picked up Raeleigh and placed her on the other side. Santiago woke up and stared at Jepherson. Neither of them spoke, which landed Raeleigh in awkwardness.
Raeleigh sat aside, explaining, "Santiago is exhausted. He didn't do it on purpose."
Jepherson held her hand, shushing her. Raeleigh pursed her lip in vexation.
Santiago didn't pay any attention to him. Sitting in his seat, he continued to yawn. He was so sleepy that he just lounged in his seat, with his eyes watery. In the end, he could only lean his head against the headboard, trying to catch some shut-eye.
