Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1354

"Put on some clothes."

Santiago spoke, to which Raeleigh raised her eyebrow. "At this point, which is more important? Clothes or lives? Stop your nagging. Let's go."

Raeleigh turned around to hug him, going outside. Meanwhile, Santiago's eyes were settled on her while walking.

Arriving at the door, she let him sit down before she went back to the dead man to pull the knife out and recover the iron rod for herself.

"Hold this."

She gave the knife to Santiago, who still had some strength in his hand.

Raeleigh tucked the rod under her armpit, held Santiago's hand, and walked up the stairs while listening to any sounds. Sensing that someone was coming down, she propped Santiago against the wall and waited aside with the iron rod in her hand. As she did so, Jacky happened to descend the stairs from above.

Raeleigh heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jacky.

She threw away the rod and ran back to Santiago's side. Jacky came barreling down. Meeting Santiago's ferocious gaze, Jacky went to support him.

"Get off me!" Santiago yelled suddenly. Jacky paused for a moment. He knew exactly what was going on and what warranted such hostility.

Raking his gaze over Raeleigh, Jacky stripped off his coat and handed it to her.

Raeleigh put it on in a jiffy. It covered her thigh wholly due to its large size.

"Anything else can wait until we're in the clear outside." Jacky went forward to help Santiago get up. Santiago snarled, "Buzz off, I can get out by myself."

Raeleigh wore an embarrassed look as she realized that it seemed to be her fault.

"It's not his fault. It's mine," Raeleigh explained while holding Santiago's waist. Santiago stepped forward to get up without saying a word.

Raeleigh looked at Jacky sheepishly. "Let's get out first. Then, we'll talk about what happened."

Jacky had long since expected such an outcome. Without saying anything, he followed Santiago out.

At the present moment, the dust had settled and the lights outside were on.

The bouncer, who took Raeleigh in, had also been subdued. While helping Santiago walk to the exit, she also saw him. However, she pretended not to know him, or else he would be screwed.

Going through the front door of the bar, Raeleigh helped Santiago into Jacky's car. Seeing Raeleigh, Jepherson's face fell. He opened the door of his car and got out.

Seibert followed him down and walked to the front of the car.

Raeleigh was taken aback to see Jepherson, but she did not get out of the car. Jepherson gnashed his teeth and turned to leave.

Leaning against the seat, Santiago gradually closed his eyes and clasped Raeleigh's hand tightly. Jacky got into the car and drove Santiago away.

Since Santiago suffered some bone fractures, the first person that came to Raeleigh's mind was Xanthus. Jacky sent Santiago to the hospital according to Raeleigh's instruction.

Xanthus had been waiting at the entrance of the VIP passage when they entered. Seeing Santiago lying on the sickbed, clasping Raeleigh's hand, Xanthus said nothing. He examined Santiago right away.

Xanthus lowered his head. "Someone snapped his bones like twigs, but they aren't broken. Instead, the ligaments have been torn."

"Then, what should we do?" Raeleigh looked at Xanthus anxiously. Santiago was in a coma, but he had been holding Raeleigh's hand like a drowning man clutching at straws.

Jacky followed them, and behind him was Jepherson.

As soon as Jepherson came in, he saw Raeleigh's hand being held by Santiago, but he chose to ignore it. His eyes fell on Xanthus. "Is there any solution?"

"I have to perform a full-body examination on him. If the bones are intact, then he will need to go through the recovery and repairing of the ligaments."

"The people who hurt him must be experts in this field. Under normal circumstances, it will seem to normal people that bone fractures are harder to be cured. In reality, the truth is the other way around. Bone fractures are actually more easily cured than ligament injuries. From the looks of it, these people intended to cripple him."

"As we're all aware, ligaments are like tendons. They are essential for body movements."
