"I know. You can leave, but remember to come back. Otherwise, if you throw your talents away, then I'll find you and kill you."
Lamarre sounded very angry. Raeleigh took the phone away and looked at it. She smiled.
She felt that her luck wasn't all that bad. Although she had been taken away as a child, she was still quite lucky then. She had met so many people whom she needed to meet. Although there were some hardships and difficulties, she had never regretted any of them. Even though she had lost the most precious thing in her life, she still felt that her life should be like this. The more ordinary it was, the more precious it was.
How many people had missed out on experiencing such things in their lives?
"I'll miss you too. Don't worry. I'll come back soon."
"It's good that you know that. Otherwise, even when I die, I won't let you off."
Raeleigh fell silent. She couldn't believe that Lamarre said that.
Lamarre didn't expect that Raeleigh would just leave as she wished.
Raeleigh wrote a letter after she hung up the phone. She wrote in to request for leave and sent it directly to Lamarre's mailbox. Lamarre opened it, read it, signed it, and he then sent a picture of it to Raeleigh. Once she received it, she left for the airport with Xanthus.
At the same time, Jepherson was rushing to Raeleigh's place from school. Meanwhile, Marissa couldn't find him. She called Jepherson to ask him to come home.
"Sir, Madam Marissa is calling."
Stuart handed the phone to Jepherson. Jepherson said out loud, "Answer it."
Stuart took the phone back and answered Marissa's phone call. "Madam, Master Richards is asleep. Is there something you need him to..."
"Tell him, I'm going to die. If he doesn't return, then I won't take my medicine, and I won't eat. I'll go on a hunger strike..."
Marissa's voice boomed over the phone, calling out for Jepherson. Jepherson didn't even flinch. "Tell her that I'll die in front of her."
Stuart didn't dare to repeat that, but Jepherson was in a bad mood that day. Usually, he would have called her Grandma or Madam. But that day, he didn't say anything and simply referred to her directly, which meant that he was in a really bad mood.
Marissa heard everything he said. The phone receiver was quite sensitive, and Jepherson's voice was so loud that she could hear him. She was so angry that she fell back onto the bed, and her face turned pale.
A group of people surrounded her. Realizing that Marissa was busy calling for a doctor, Jepherson turned his face away and looked outside the car. Stuart looked embarrassed. It was very noisy on the other end, and Marissa was furious.
"Master Jepherson, why don't I go over to Miss Raeleigh's and inform her that you've gone back to see your grandmother and to take care of her. You've stayed by her side for two days and two nights without rest. If something bad really were to happen from this, then it would be a real tragedy..."
"Stop the car," Jepherson suddenly ordered. His face was as cold as ice.
The driver obeyed the order and immediately pulled over. Stuart then got out of the car. Jepherson's dark eyes glanced at him. The car started up again and headed for Richards Manor.
After stepping out of the car, Stuart rushed over to another car and rushed over to Raeleigh's place.
After getting out of the car, Stuart went to knock on the door, but no one answered. Stuart found this a little strange. There should be someone inside.
At the very least, Novalie should have been there if no one else was around.
He took out his phone and called Novalie. The phone was connected, but it didn't ring.
Stuart found this even more strange and continued to call.
