Rossie and Zorion eyeballed each other when they saw Santiago kiss Raeleigh. Then, Santiago got out of bed, picked Raeleigh up and walked out. Rossie turned around and followed him. She asked Zorion, "Isn't their relationship a bit, uh, I don't know-questionable?"
Zorion's eyes were deep. "Tell me one that isn't."
Rossie was stunned for a moment before she turned to look at Zorion. "Why are you speaking in riddles?"
"No reason." After that, Zorion followed them outside, with Rossie at his heels.
No sooner had Raeleigh arrived at the emergency room than the doctor performed a brief examination on her. The doctor did not ask Santiago to leave because he had already come into close contact with Raeleigh. Santiago remained by Raeleigh's side after she was transferred to the isolation ward.
Raeleigh's fever gradually subsided after the doctor gave her an injection. However, she still felt slightly uncomfortable. She would murmur and toss around from time to time.
Raeleigh felt sore in her arm after receiving the injection. However, she was still in a delirium. It was inevitable that she would feel uneasy.
Santiago stayed by her side, holding her other hand.
Raeleigh would then stop moving.
Rossie sat outside the isolation ward. "Do you think that Santiago's feelings for her are real?"
Zorion was sitting beside her. When Rossie asked him, he glanced at her and said, "So long as he himself is clear with his feelings, there's no need to put up an act for anyone's eyes."
"Why do you sound like you are talking about us?"
"Am I?" Zorion did not want to say anything. However, judging by Santiago's actions, he concurred with her — Santiago had crossed the line!
"I mean, it's so quintessential Santiago to act within the boundary. He knows what to do and what not to do. However, this time, it seems like Jepherson might have to send the helve after the hatchet."
Zorion muttered to himself. It sounded as if he wanted Rossie to hear it as well. Rossie looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Jepherson believed in his intuition. His intuition told him that Santiago would know where to draw the line when it came to Raeleigh.
However, love knows no bounds. Just like us, I was willing to abandon Deanna just for you."
Zorion bowed his head slightly. He did not expect to be forgiven for what he had done to Deanna.
It was because of this that he felt heavy in his chest. It was so heavy that he could not breathe.
Rossie clasped her hand with his and said, "You're doing this for Deanna. I'd wanted to tell you a long time ago that Jacky is a good person."
Zorion turned to look at Rossie. "How so? Is it because he's so aesthetically pleasing that you are trying to defend him?"
"You're not making any sense." Rossie pulled back her hand and rolled her eyes at Zorion. She turned her head away and ignored him.
Zorion chuckled. Although his face was still a little pale, he had a bright smile on his face.
Rossie turned around and stole a glance at him before turning away again. She wondered why she had not noticed that Zorion had a childlike, innocent smile.
"Am I ugly?" Zorion's voice sounded petulant when he saw her turn away. Rossie turned around and stared at Zorion with spark in her eyes. "Not at all. You're better looking than Jacky."
"How do I know whether you're telling the truth?" Zorion drew his face closer to Rossie, after which she gave him a kiss. "Do you believe it now?"
Zorion was stunned. He could not stop staring at Rossie. Then, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.
The driver quickly turned around.
Rossie was suddenly pushed away and was completely dumbfounded. She did not understand what was going on.
At this time, Zorion asked, "Is Raeleigh having the same symptoms as me?"
Rossie thought for a moment and said, "Yeah...Her symptoms are similar to yours."
"Hey, would you mind asking around whether Raeleigh and I have the same symptoms?"
