Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1607

It was late at night when Xanthus fell asleep. Raeleigh tucked him in and walked out of her room after making sure he wouldn't wake up.

Jacky was still sitting in the living room right then.

Along with him were Callis and Leander.

Callis was taken aback when he saw Raeleigh, looking as if he was surprised the person to come out was her.

Raeleigh said, "My brother is in a bad mood. He is a doctor; he can't bear to witness killings."

Jacky raised his head and sized her up, his fathomless gaze laced with a hint of surprise, "And you're not afraid?"

"I am, but what was done was done. This is your territory; you have your rules here, but I'm afraid we can no longer stay. The hospital is Xanthus's; I'll talk to him about having someone else take over. It won't affect your collaboration with him, but I have to leave."

"But is there anywhere else safer than Waverly Village? Where can you go if you leave?" Jacky asked.

Raeleigh didn't care but said instead, "Doesn't matter as long as it's not here. This place stresses the hell out of Xanthus."

Jacky said, "You can move to the walled house."

"No, this is no different from not leaving; I'll find somewhere. I'm only letting you know. This decision won't affect our partnership. I hope you understand."

Raeleigh checked the time. "It's getting late. I'm going to rest. Good night, everyone."

Raeleigh didn't see Jacky out but went back to her room. She couldn't leave Xanthus alone.

After retreating to her room, she laid down on the empty side of the bed, keeping vigil over Xanthus, only falling asleep in the morning.

When Xanthus woke up, he thought it was in his room, so he was shocked to see someone sleeping next to him. Realizing it was Raeleigh, he gradually recalled the horror from last night and slowly retreated from her room to make breakfast.

Raeleigh was still asleep when he was done with his breakfast, so he went to look for Jacky to talk about their departure.

To his surprise, Jacky agreed without putting up a fight.

"Don't you want to know why?"

"I still have matters to attend to; you can talk to Logan about the collaboration."

With that, Jacky hopped into the car and left without saying anything else.

When Raeleigh woke up in the afternoon, Xanthus discussed leaving Waverly Village with her and even gave her a lot of advice, including staying over at the Richards Group Manor.

She watched him silently until he suggested that they stay over at the Richards Group Manor, to which she agreed.

The room fell silent.

Xanthus couldn't believe his ears, but Raeleigh said nothing more and began packing up. As she didn't have too many things, it didn't take her long.

Xanthus thought he had been set up again!

Raeleigh went to find Callis and Leander before leaving.

"I'm leaving. I'll visit you guys when I can. Thank you for looking after me. I'll be going to the Richards Group Manor to take care of Santiago. If not, I would've taken you two with me."

Raeleigh looked at Callis, took out a bank card, and put it in his hand.

"This is for you. There's a few hundred thousand in there. You two can use this to start your own business; don't work here anymore. It won't do in the long run. Best if you can find somewhere like Capital City, a place with a good view and fresh air. The underworld doesn't suit you. You won't live long being the leader of a gang nor a lackey."

Raeleigh patted Callis's hand. He looked at her, then at the card; he hesitated but did not return the card to her.

She withdrew her hand and looked at the car parked not far away before going to Xanthus's side.

After they left, Callis looked at the bank card in his hand and put it away.
