Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1418

Raeleigh fell ill three days before New Year's. She lay in bed, looking like she was just sleeping. Novalie was a little anxious as she sat and watched her.

She said, "I've spent the last ten years with Raeleigh, and the only time that she's been like this was when I saved her from the fire. It's never happened again."

"I know that you're her biological parents and you're doing this for her good, but Raeleigh's only human. I'm sorry for this, but if something were to happen to her, I won't have any reason to live either."

"The Richards family may be a lion's den, but what does that have to do with Raeleigh and Jepherson?"

She looked at Lamar and Jazelle. Jazelle said tearfully, "Mom, it's not that we're against them being together. We're just worried. They can come after us, but we don't want anything to happen to Raeleigh."

She didn't want to do this either. As she sobbed, Novalie sighed. "Even if he's here to harm us or Raeleigh, let's just allow him to see her since she's sick now. We can talk about other things later."

At Novalie's words, Jazelle turned to look at Lamar. She only had one daughter, and she didn't want to lose her over this.

Lamar nodded. He had no choice but to let Jepherson in.

As he entered, Jepherson was still asking Xanthus, "Where's Raeleigh? I haven't seen her leave the house at all these few days."

Xanthus's head was slightly bowed as he answered, "She's sick."

Jepherson stopped and stared at Xanthus. "What's wrong?"

Xanthus glanced at him. "She's sick. What do you mean what's wrong?"

"What kind of illness?"

"You'll find out soon."

It was too late to say anything at this point, so Xanthus led Jepherson straight to Raeleigh's room.

When Jepherson stepped into the room, his eyes went straight to Raeleigh. He paused, then strode over to the bed and held her cold hand.

"Raeleigh..."

He called her name a few times, his voice gentle and low. Raeleigh merely frowned, thinking that she was dreaming. She didn't open her eyes.

Seeing that it was working, Jepherson leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Jazelle and Novalie averted their gazes when they saw this.

As her father, Lamar had disapproval written all over his face.

However, Lamar did not stop Jepherson. He was a compassionate man, so he could understand this.

Only a person who was deeply in love would be able to understand.

Lamar turned to face the window, pain and hatred in his eyes.

If not for his daughter's kidnapping, his wife wouldn't have lost her mind for so many years. He hadn't had time to care for his son, and his daughter had had to suffer on her own for so long.

The fire that had taken so many lives and caused his daughter to suffer so many hardships was not a coincidence.

How could he allow the people behind it to roam free?

Raeleigh slowly opened her eyes. As she gazed at Jepherson, she dazedly raised a hand to touch his face. "You..."

"I'm real, not a dream."

Jepherson deepened the kiss to the point that Raeleigh felt like she was going to suffocate. She widened her eyes, suddenly realising that there were people around them. She quickly tried to push him away.

However, he held her hand, stopping her. She couldn't break free of him and glared at him, her face flushed as she tried to catch her breath.

Jepherson planted a kiss on her forehead before moving away and looking at the people around them. "Let's give her an IV drip."

Xanthus had already gotten everything ready and quickly handled it. Raeleigh lay in bed, watching Jepherson. She felt absolutely embarrassed.
