After Cynthia got better, she was transferred to an ordinary ward. Scarlette was gone. Raeleigh immediately got a specialist to be in charge of taking care of Cynthia.
On one hand, it was Cynthia who had been looking after Raeleigh after she had her miscarriage. On the other hand, it was indeed inconvenient for a man such as Santiago to take care of Cynthia himself.
"Raeleigh, thank you. I'm sorry for causing trouble." Cynthia repeated this multiple times throughout her stay in the hospital. Raeleigh disregarded them all. Unlike Cynthia, she seldom spoke during her recovery from miscarriage. It was even more unlikely for her to say the things Cynthia had said during that period.
However, Cynthia was different. She would repeatedly tell the same thing to Raeleigh.
Raeleigh was accustomed to it. She thought Cynthia wouldn't give up expressing her gratitude even if she told her not to.
Cynthia had to stay in the ward and seldom get to go out. She also had nothing else to do to kill time, so she took it as a way for her to kill her boredom.
Santiago came back with some food. Seeing that Santiago had come back, Raeleigh walked over and took the food from Santiago.
Raeleigh was by her side all day long, which was pretty much the same for Cynthia. The only difference was that she could move around freely, whereas Cynthia could only lie or sit on the bed.
"Xanthus is here. He's parking the car outside," Santiago told Raeleigh after he came out of the washroom. Raeleigh turned around and shot a glance at him. "Oh?"
She placed the food on the table and arranged it neatly. Then, she went to the door to wait for Xanthus.
Cynthia could already sit up. Half a month had passed by in a flash. She heard that the weather was getting cold, and she looked out from time to time. She felt a sense of sadness whenever she watched the trees swaying in the wind. She didn't expect that the late autumn would pass so soon.
Xanthus brought a huge fruit basket with him. Raeleigh stretched out her hand to take it over, but Xanthus refused.
"You don't have to do this. Let me handle it." Xanthus put the fruit basket aside as soon as he entered the ward. After that, he stopped in front of Cyntha, and looked at her. "Are you feeling better
now?"
Cynthia nodded. "I'm much better. Thank you for coming."
"I should have come earlier, but there was a conflict in the school involving a few students. I was with them for the past few days, and Raeleigh's grandmother needs someone to look after her. That's why I am only here after so long."
"Actually, my injury isn't that severe. Raeleigh has exaggerated it." Cynthia shot a look at Raeleigh. Occasionally, she felt that Xanthus would make a better spouse than Jepherson but love was blind. Sometimes, only the person whom they chose at first sight could be their life partner. By h*ll or high water, it needed to be that person and no one else. No matter how excellent the others were, it would do nothing to alter their loves.
Cynthia then glanced at Santiago, who was sitting aside and waiting for breakfast. She couldn't help but to feel that she was the prime example.
"I wasn't sure what you like, so I bought some fruits. I guess you guys haven't had breakfast yet. Let's have breakfast first."
Xanthus sat aside as he spoke. Cynthia had misunderstood him, but he did not attempt to explain herself.
Raeleigh sorted out breakfast before she asked
Xanthus, "Have you had your breakfast?"
Xanthus answered, "Yes, I have. Your grandmother' s appetite has been great recently. We will go out for an excursion in the morning, and then go home to have breakfast."
