Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1530

"Why are you guys moving at a glacial pace? Are you waiting for her to die?" Zorion glared at the doctor and nurses. They were all scared out of their wits when they heard Zorion scream and hurriedly wheeled Raeleigh into the emergency room.

Santiago waited until everyone left before following them, dragging his leg behind himself. It was as if he couldn't move.

Soon after the doctor gave Raeleigh emergency treatment, she regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she realised that she was in Zorion's ward. It was easier for Rossie to take care of her that way. It was not that Rossie wanted to give Santiago a hard time, but Raeleigh did not want to see him at all. What if she passed out again after seeing him?

Rossie had not had a good impression of Santiago from the start, and now it had gone on a downward slope.

The first person Raeleigh saw when she opened her eyes was Santiago. At that time, she remained expressionless. When she turned her head to the side and saw Rossie and Zorion, she was in a much better mood.

She was not angry. She couldn't afford to, because she doubted anyone would care about her if she died.

When Rossie saw that Raeleigh had woken up, she immediately walked over. At this time, Santiago was holding Raeleigh's hand. When he saw her open her eyes, he gradually pulled his hand away. He was afraid she would pass out again. The doctor had warned him that fainting would strain her heart, and she was only a few times away from being a patient with heart failure.

Raeleigh had blacked out twice today. Although this happened rarely, it did a number to the body.

Santiago was afraid that she would pass out again, so he hurriedly let go of her hand.

Rossie had urged him to let her go a few times before, but he'd refused and kept holding her hand. Even when his cellphone rang, he refused to answer.

Raeleigh took her hand back and looked at Rossie. "Thank you."

Raeleigh's energy was draining along with the words.

Rossie smiled. "No worries. You should be fine. The doctor did an examination on you and found nothing wrong. I'll grab you some food later. And, oh, I found your phone, the police gave it to me.

Your phone's still not dead. It's a tough one, I must say."

Rossie joked, to which Raeleigh pantomimed a smile.

"Yikes, ain't that ugly!" Santiago added.

Raeleigh did not look at him but stared at Rossie. "I want to call my brother. Can you please look for Xanthus's number in my phone?"

Rossie did as Raeleigh said. Then, she pressed the phone onto her ear.

"Xanthus!" Raeleigh called out to her brother when he answered the phone. She talked to him in her usual tone, not wanting him to know that she was in the hospital.

When Xanthus received Raeleigh's call, he was in the middle of cooking. He asked, with his cell phone between his ear and shoulder, "You coming back for dinner?"

"No, I'm not. Deanna's alone at home, so I'm going to stay and help. As you know, Santiago doesn't know anything."

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength to speak."

"Oh... then go and get something to eat. Don't starve yourself."

"Alright. Can you please tell Mom and Dad that I'll try to make it home in the next two days?"

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad said they are planning to extend their stay. They like it here." Xanthus was about to serve the food.

"Hey, sorry, but my dish's all done now."

"I'm hanging up then."

Raeleigh hung up the phone.

"Thanks."

After Raeleigh said this to Rossie, she took a deep breath. She had no strength at all.

Rossie pursed her lips. "I'm gonna get you something to eat."

"Alright."

Raeleigh was not hungry, but she knew she had to eat.

After Rossie left, Raeleigh closed her eyes. She pretended to fall asleep and did not respond at all.

Santiago sat by the side and waited until Rossie returned. He did not move from his seat.
