Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1403

Raeleigh sat outside of Stuart's ward while she waited for Xanthus to finish examining him. At this time, though Hadrian was nowhere to be seen, there were two new bodyguards standing outside of the ward. They looked relatively young, about twenty years old. They stood guard outside the ward, with an unapproachable air. Staring at them, Raeleigh felt her mind blanking out.

Santiago, who sat beside Raeleigh, suddenly kicked her foot. Raeleigh glared at him and rolled her eyes, "The h*ll? Is your streak of insanity acting up again?"

"Well, please call me a psycho, then."

Santiago said in that couldn't-care-less tone of his. Raeleigh snapped, "I haven't settled the score with you yet."

"And how would you do it? How about you take me as your husband?" Santiago pressed his hand on the wall, trapping Raeleigh. Frustrated, she said, "Please be respectful of me, or else from tomorrow onwards, we're not friends anymore."

"Well, that's the story for tomorrow. What now?"

Santiago slowly approached Raeleigh. She simply raised her hand and slapped him.

Santiago turned his face away and smiled. He leaned against the side and narrowed his eyes. He muttered, "You should not to stare people straight in the eyes, you might be captivated by their charm."

Raeleigh did not look at Santiago but crossed her arms. "Heck, at least it's better than looking at you."

"Yours truly is such a dreamy heart-throb. What's so bad about me?"

"You. The sight of you pricks my eyes."

At this time, Xanthus and Stuart were staring at Santiago and Raeleigh as they quarrelled outside. Raeleigh asked Santiogo curiously, "Your family is not doing any illegal businesses. Why do you have bodyguards flocking around?"

"Rich people are afraid of death. It's normal for us to have bodyguards. When you get rich in the future, I will hire a bodyguard to protect you."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago. "Aren't you my personal bodyguard?"

Santiago laughed. "Raeleigh, consider yourself very lucky. The only person yours truly is willing to be a bodyguard for is you."

Raeleigh was tongue- tied as she glanced at Santiago beside her. "You consider this protecting?" "Of course. What, you think I'm trying to pursue you?" Santiago winked at Raleigh. She was speechless. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, hoping that her headache would go away.

Santiago gave the devil's own smirk at Raeleigh as she leaned back in her chair. Santiago raised his hand and pointed at the bodyguards. "You two, stay out of our sights! It's giving Ms. Raeleigh a headache."

The bodyguards turned around and walked several metres away. Raeleigh looked at Santiago and said, "Have you no shame?"

"Ha-ha, very funny. Why is shame needed in this?" Raeleigh resigned to her fate.

She knew that she could not out speak Santiago, so she decided to keep quiet instead.

After awhile, Xanthus finally emerged from Stuart's ward. Raeleigh got up and walked over to him with Santiago behind her. "How's he doing?" Raeleigh asked.

"He's recovering nicely, but it's going to take some time before he's back on his feet again. He's pretty strong. Normal people would not have recovered as quickly as he did at this stage."

Xanthus held the patient's chart behind his back, his gaze softening a little. "I suggest that you take Stuart abroad for treatment."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago. After all, Stuart was one of them.

"I will let my brother know, but I can't call the shots."

"I'm sure your brother would want the best for Stuart," Xanthus said before turning around and walking away. Just then, a group of doctors emerged from the doctor's lounge and briefly exchanged a few words with Xanthus. After they left, Xanthus told Santiago and Raeleigh, "They are planning to head home for Christmas. They insisted that they've done everything they could and there's nothing more they can do."

"Wait, what? Are they planning to give up on Stuart?" Santiago's face fell slightly. Xanthus held the documents behind his back and patted him habitually. "We are not giving up on Stuart, but doctors aren't gods. We've done everything we could. There's no reason for us to put aside everything else and focus on treating him only."

"Stuart isn't the only patient. There's still plenty of other patients that requires our attention."

After that, Xanthus turned around and walked away. Santiago silently looked towards Stuart's ward before resuming his seat outside the ward.

Raeleigh sat beside Santiago. "Why don't you want Stuart to go abroad and seek treatment? Maybe it'll help him recover faster."
