Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1456

Xanthus opened his eyes slowly and forced a smile at Raeleigh when he heard her crying. "Don't cry. You don't look pretty anymore when you cry."

"Alright, I won't. I won't cry." Raeleigh said but cried even louder.

Xanthus clenched his teeth, and his breathing became even more rapid as he said with great difficulty, "I might not recover if you keep on crying but will be better if you stop."

Raeleigh stared at him and wiped the tears from her face hard, forcing her tears back.

Seeing that she stopped crying, Xanthus closed his eyes and recalled the incident, trying to divert his attention.

Raeleigh kept wiping Xanthus's sweat but suddenly stopped and uncovered the throw from his body. She unbuttoned his shirt and realized his torso was covered with rashes.

Her face blanched as she grew frightened. She took off Xanthus's shirt, only to find his body slick with sweat as if he was in a shower.

Rashes that looked like tiny grains spread all over his skin.

Her gaze trailed down to his lower torso; the rashes had already spread to his waist just above the trousers. She believed even her lower limbs were covered with it.

Xanthus opened his eyes weakly. "I'm fine. It's just a reaction."

Raeleigh stood there, dumbfounded. "I will not let her get away with this."

Their eyes met. After a long time, Xanthus gasped and said, "If you get angry, you lose."

Tears gathered in Raeleigh's eyes; she did not let them fall but wiped away forcefully instead. Then, she took out her phone and called Jacky.

"Come to my house and bring a reliable doctor with you. One that knows everything."

Raeleigh gritted her teeth as she put down her phone, then sat down and covered Xanthus with the throw.

Jacky hung up the phone and looked at Santiago. "Looks like something happened. Her tone doesn't sound right."

Santiago was lying in bed, waiting for Raeleigh to return; he couldn't rest if she didn't come back. When Jacky answered the phone, he was confused and wondered why she called Jacky.

Upon hearing his words, Santiago immediately stood up.

Jacky followed behind as Santiago went to grab his shirt. Jacky helped drape it over him.

"Did you bring cigarettes?" Santiago asked.

Jacky pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one for him, and brought it to his mouth. He bit down on it, then walked toward the door.

The two of them headed straight to the elevator. After entering, Santiago leaned against the wall and took a drag on his cigarette before removing it from his mouth as he closed his eyes.

Shortly, they came out of the elevator, Jacky leading the way. They left the hospital together hurriedly, moving like a gust of wind.

Outside, the snow was falling. "Are you sure you're fine?" Jacky asked Santiago.

Santiago's arm was in bandages, and he was wearing a sling. Thus, he couldn't move his arms. He had been wearing only the sling while he was in the ward; it looked just like a bulletproof jacket but only provided tension and confinement.

He couldn't move his arms at all while wearing the sling, and he couldn't put on his clothes either.

It didn't bother Santiago when he wore the sling inside the ward. After all, it was warm in there, but now that they were outside, it was different.

Jacky was worried that Santiago's body was still weak after the injury. His wounds had yet to heal, and if he fell ill, it would complicate the situation.

Santiago sneered. "Go look for a doctor."

He flicked the cigarette butt between his fingertips into the air, and it drew an arc in the night sky before landing on the ground. Then, he pulled open the car door and sat inside.

Jacky looked at Santiago, curiosity rising in his heart. He thought Santiago looked just like a falcon hunting in the night. Only falcons were so wild and untamed.

After getting in the car, he drove towards Raeleigh's place. At the same time, he called his men to send their doctor out.
