Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1458

"I didn't know this would happen," Jepherson explained when he saw Raeleigh. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, but she couldn't bring herself to make any response at all under that given moment.

Looking at Jepherson, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Raeleigh didn't want to hear any explanations; they were all useless to her now. She couldn't even manage a smile now, looking at Xanthus's current condition.

Jepherson shook his head. Raeleigh took a look at the two servants who came in; they were here to deliver food to them.

Raeleigh said, "You can put the food there. Or on the coffee table."

The servants busied themselves, following Raeleigh's instructions. She went forward and helped, completely ignoring Jepherson.

His gaze lingered at Raeleigh before turning to Xanthus's pale face. He walked over and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Xanthus slowly opened his eyes. "I'm alright now."

"I will get to the bottom of this."

Before Xanthus could reply, Raeleigh interrupted, staring at Jepherson, "Don't bother. It's not a big deal."

She took a glance at Xanthus before continuing, "Leave us be for a couple of days."

Xanthus needed rest and recovery, and Raeleigh didn't want anything else to happen at this time.

"Alright, I will definitely get to the bottom of this."

Jepherson wasn't taking no for an answer. Raeleigh stared at him, unable to speak for a while; his insistence didn't make her feel any better. The reality was right in front of them; anyone with the right mind could tell what had happened. He was no fool, yet he still said such things. What more could she say?

Since there was nothing she could say, she decided to leave him be and turned to the others and said, "Let's eat."

Santiago walked over and sat down with them. He picked up his cutleries and pondered for a while. He was in no shape to eat independently, so he waited for Raeleigh to feed him.

Raeleigh walked over to him and fed him before eating herself.

Jacky washed his hands and sat down too, the doctor following suit.

Jepherson stood by the side like the fifth wheel. He didn't have the appetite.

But he still washed his hands and sat beside Raeleigh. He dug in, acting all nonchalant.

With his head slightly lowered, Jepherson finished the meal deadpan.

After Santiago was done, Raeleigh went to feed Xanthus some water. Xanthus refused to eat anything, so she didn't force him either.

She only ate after everyone dined, swallowing what her little appetite could take. When she got up to clear the table, the two servants Jepherson brought got down to it before Raeleigh could make a move, so she went to accompany Xanthus.

The group sat in the living room, but no one spoke.

Santiago had his head raised, eyes closed, looking asleep while the others sat for an entire morning.

In the afternoon, the hospital Santiago was admitted to called Jepherson and said they had to schedule a jab, so he got them to come over instead.

When they arrived, he also requested them to do a checkup on Xanthus.

"He's fine now, but he will have to recuperate for some time," the doctor said. Looking at Xanthus, who was asleep, Jepherson nodded, "Got it. No need to come over again; just send the medication over."

"But Mr. Santiago still needs his dressings changed. We worry that..."

"It's fine; someone will see to it. I don't want anyone else to know about this, especially Dr. Osteen's case. I hope you understand."

"Alright, we understand."
