Never in a million years did Stella ever thought she'd be asked to leave by Jepherson. So, she sat there for a long time and did not respond. Jepherson immediately asked the servants to pack up Stella's belongings.
Stella did not protest. After all, she had no rights within the Richards family. Soon, she was escorted out of the manor by the servants.
Before Stella left, she took one look at the Richards Group Manor with a mocking smile. She could not believe that Jepherson had done that.
"Come on, let's go." Since Jepherson asked her to leave, then she was going to leave, but she was not going to let this one slide.
Stella glanced at the person pushing her. Suddenly he bent down and carried her into the car before closing the door.
Stella soon left with her men.
In the car, she asked her servant, "Any idea what Santiago has been up to recently?"
"No, I have no idea."
"Well, forget it."
Stella narrowed her eyes and said indifferently,
"Jepherson, you forced me to do this. Don't blame me for being heartless."
Although this was the end of her stay at the Richards Group Manor, it was just the beginning of her revenge.
Raeleigh did not know why she could not fall asleep. She felt uncomfortable. It was as if she was about to fall sick. She quickly sat up in bed.
Raeleigh touched her head and realised that she was drenched in sweat. She got up from the bed and hurried over to Xanthus' room.
When Xanthus heard the knock on his door, he immediately opened the door and saw his sister. "It's so late already. What's the matter?"
"I have some tightness in my chest and I feel a little out of breath. I can't seem to fall asleep. Can you please have a look to see what's wrong with me?" Raeleigh turned around and showed her brother her drenched pajamas.
"What the-?"
It was soaked through!
"I have no idea what's wrong. I just don't feel well." Raeleigh did not know what was wrong with herself. All she knew was that she felt unwell.
Xanthus quickly invited Raeleigh into his room.
Then he took out his medical kit and started asking her a series of questions. Raeleigh lay on his bed and shook her head to all of his questions. She wasn't feeling any pain anywhere. She just felt unwell.
After Xanthus examined her, he went and alerted their parents. Lamar and Jazelle came out of their rooms and were surprised when they saw Raeleigh drenched in sweat, lying on Xanthus's bed.
Jazelle hurriedly over and held Raeleigh's hand. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... I don't know. I just can't seem to fall asleep." Raeleigh quickly explained what she felt, not wanting to scare her mother.
How could Jazelle not worry? She held Raeleigh's hand tightly and looked at her husband and son, "What's wrong?"
Xanthus said, "I'm not sure either. I think it's best if we went to the hospital and have the doctors examine her."
Jazelle was afraid that there was something wrong with Raeleigh, so she agreed to send her to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Raeleigh was immediately wheeled into the emergency room. The doctor did a thorough examination and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her.
It was only then that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. All the worry had taken a toll on Raeleigh's body and she eventually succumbed to sleep.
Xanthus, who was sitting by her bedside, said, "I think it might be because she's pregnant. There's nothing to worry about."
"I hope so. I feel bad for the baby." Jazelle said with a worried look on her face. She felt uncomfortable when she realized how much her daughter had been through.
"Mom, why don't you and dad head over to the next room to rest? I will watch over Raeleigh tonight. I will call you if there is anything."
