Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1173

For the past few days of Raeleigh hospitalization, Jepherson hadn't shown up. At first, Santiago didn't pay attention to it. Later, he went to look for Jepherson, only to find that he was out of the country.

Santiago called him, but the one who answered the call was always Stuart, and Santiago gave him a good scolding. In the end, Stuart no longer dared to pick up his call again.

When the day came for Raeleigh to be discharged, Jepherson seemed to have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Scarlette sat sullenly in the front passenger seat while Hadrian drove the car. Raeleigh and Cynthia sat in the back.

Knowing that it was time for Raeleigh to be discharged from the hospital, Deanna also came, although Zorion did not.

Deanna turned up with the protection of bodyguards.

Scarlette finally understood what it meant to have survived a traumatic experience.

Arriving at her home, Raeleigh got out of the car. Cynthia took away all the things from her hands, refusing to let her carry anything. Raeleigh looked at her. "I'm fine."

"A little caution goes a long way." In Cynthia's view, women deserved to be spoiled every once in a while, especially when Raeleigh was not in good health.

Once Santiago got out of the car, he received a phone call from Marissa. On the phone, she vented her anger, told him to go back, and asked where Jepherson had disappeared to. "Madness, this is madness," was one of her many gripes.

Santiago didn't say anything. He hung up the phone and turned to look at the two women. "I need to go back, something came up. I'll leave Raeleigh to you."

"Go. I know what to do." Cynthia always listened to Santiago. She wouldn't raise any objections in whatever he did.

"Take good care of yourself." Santiago glanced at Raeleigh before he turned around, returned to the car, closed the door, and took out a pack of cigarettes. He had not smoked for a week. Right then, he started smoking again.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Santiago, who was smoking inside the car. She thought, "It's been this season, he shouldn't..."

On second thought, she realized it wouldn't be a problem for him even in that season as he was always healthy.

Everyone had gotten out of the car. Deanna walked to Raeleigh's side and sized up Cynthia. After that, she asked Raeleigh, "Raeleigh, where is Santiago going?"

"Home," Raeleigh answered. Deanna gazed at Raeleigh. "I see. Raeleigh, you have had a miscarriage. You should pay more attention to your health. Geez, I didn't even know that you were pregnant."

Cynthia goggled at Deanna in stupefaction. Scarlette used to tell her about how Deanna was not too bright. Right then, it seemed that Deanna's problems were more than just not being too bright. She couldn't read the room at all.

Scarlette came from behind. She was one of the reasons that Deanna had gone missing. Initially, she wanted to throw shade at Deanna, but she did not do so, and she even adopted a friendlier attitude towards her.

"Let's go in. Remember not to bring this matter up, no matter what. I'm sure Grandma will be sad if she knows it." Raeleigh had gone through such a mishap. There was no way Novalie would be pleased to hear about it.

Deanna turned around and looked at Scarlette.

"Scarlette, in your opinion, why did Jepherson leave?"

Scarlette felt awkward. She stole a glance at Raeleigh. She had grown accustomed to how mindless Deanna was.

"How would I know anything about Mr. Jepherson? My advice is, you'd better not be a busybody and just mind your own business. Chopchop, in you go." Scarlette urged her to go in, so that she would stop running her mouth. Deanna, however, did not share Scarlette's sentiment. She pushed Scarlette's hand away and sidled up to Raeleigh. "Raeleigh... I didn't know Jepherson was such a person. He didn't tell me anything about leaving. I will call him."

Raeleigh froze for a moment while Scarlette was greatly annoyed by Deanna. "What has that got to do with you? If you have all the time in the world, then just take care of yourself, thank you very much."

"I..." Deanna was about to speak again, but Scarlette directly pushed her into the house. "I see that you want to have your cake and eat it. In you go."

Being pushed by Scarlette, Deanna was unhappy, and her face was taut. Nonetheless, she was helpful towards Raeleigh. She said to Raeleigh, "Raeleigh, don't worry, I won't sit by and do

nothing."
