As a result, Hannah went to Waverly Village again. Meanwhile, Jenna, who was in the hospital, stood up after deliberating for a while. "Raeleigh, Santiago and I will go back first. There must be someone to stay and take care of them. Why don't you stay and keep Miss Lautner company?"
"I got it." Raeleigh concurred with Jenna. Jepherson got up. "Mom, let Santiago stay, I'll go back with you. As for here, if there's nothing else, I'll come back to change shifts with Santiago and Raeleigh at night."
Raeleigh threw a glance at Jepherson. Since he had made such an arrangement, then so be it.
After Jenna and Jepherson left, Raeleigh made a phone call.
"Mom, something happened to Zorion. Rossie is also here. I have to stay and help taking care of them, I probably won't go back today."
"Sweetheart, why are you taking care of them?" Jazelle didn't quite understand. Was this Zorion on good terms with her daughter? She pondered on this.
Raeleigh considered momentarily. "There is no one here. I can't really explain it. It has something to do with Deanna and Jacky. Ask Xanthos if you want to know more."
"I see. Be careful."
Hanging up, Jazelle instantly went to ask her son what had happened. There were no other people in the house. Hansen had gone to other places, thus it was convenient for them to talk.
It wasn't until Xanthus had explained the general situation to Jazelle that she finally apprehended what was going on.
However, other people's family issues was not her bailiwick. She still focused on her own affairs.
After Jenna and Jepherson left, Raeleigh went to Zorion's ward, but didn't enter. Instead, she stood outside and looked into the ward to find that there was nothing for her to help. In fact, the reason why she was left here was that she had nothing to do at home, and that it was not easy for her to get out after she went back.
However, Raeleigh felt a little guilty when she sat aside. It was rare for her parents to pay her a visit, and it seemed too unfilial of her to take care of others.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Seeing that Raeleigh was staring into space, Santiago sat beside her and crossed his long legs. Raeleigh gazed at the wall. "The university break will be over in a few days. I think this winter break is the longest break of my life, like, years just whizzed by."
"Whoa, aren't you quite the drama queen." Santiago was amused. Raeleigh looked at him. "You're all smiley faces, twenty-four-seven. Won't you get tired?"
"Why will I feel tired when I smile?”
"Your face is full of wrinkles when you smile."
Raeleigh squinted and leaned against the wall, intending to have a rest. She was worn out.
Santiago glanced at her and lifted his arm to pull her over. He used one hand to hold Raeleigh's head while she was struggling to break free. Santiago told her, "Take a nap. When things are stabilized, I'll take you to rest outside. This hospital is a total spook house."
"Ha!" Raeleigh wanted to laugh. "Is there a time when you are not a nonsense-monger?"
"I love you!" Santiago said suddenly, which made Raeleigh dumbfounded. She wanted to raise her head and look at him, but Santiago held her head down with his big hand. "Gosh, you're too ugly for me to even believe my own words."
Raeleigh tried to sit up straight while Santiago was looking at her. "Not only your face is ugly, but your temper as well."
