Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1610

It was the first time Raeleigh learned people would feel pain after their death.

"Do you mean Santiago can feel pain?" Raeleigh asked. Xanthus explained, "Yes. More than that, the feeling would be rather intense as well. He has merely fallen into unconsciousness, trying to wake up, but his body isn't allowing him to, so he can only stay like this."

"Even in his subconscious mind, his heart would suddenly spasm. We call this a systole spike in the medical field, which can prove that he reacts to pain."

"But the pain will have to be extreme for the spasm to happen, and it will do damage to his heart. If poorly executed, he might go into shock."

"And if it happens at this time, he will die, for real."

Raeleigh's face turned pale. "He will?"

"Yes, real death, so I can only take things a step at a time," Louisa explained.

Raeleigh stood looking at Santiago, who was sleeping like a child, deep in thought. After a long time, she said, "I understand. You guys are the experts; do as you see fit."

"Well stop here today then. We won't bother Mr. Richards for now; we'll take our rest." With that, Louisa and Colston retreated, and so did Raeleigh. "Let's go too," she said to Xanthus.

Only Jepherson was left. He got up, walked to Santiago, took off his clothes, and laid next to him. The bed was big to fit three easily, let alone the brothers.

Out of Santiago's room, Raeleigh and Xanthus retreated to their rooms. Raeleigh looked out the window at the weather after she closed the door. They would've known each other for a year after sometime later.

It had only been a year, yet so much had happened.

With that thought in mind, she went to bed. She had a sleepless night that night and was lethargic in the morning.

But Raeleigh got up at six that morning. The monitoring system was in her room. She also had a surveillance camera installed in Santiago's room, of course, to check on him at any time. However, she did not expect Jepherson to stay.

She only thought of it when she woke up. She had intended to turn off the camera in Santiago's room but didn't, believing Jepherson wouldn't always be in there.

As she was changing, the footage in Santiago's room got her stumped for a second; Jepherson was changing as well. Although his back was facing the camera, she could see him clearly.

Raeleigh blushed then turned her face away.

She could pretend not to see, but what if the same thing happened the next day?

With that, she turned off the monitor in Santiago's room.

During breakfast, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Did you order someone to install the surveillance camera in Santiago's room?"

Stumped by his question, the footage earlier flashed across her mind, and she blushed as a result.

"When did you find out?"

"When I came out."

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. "I turned it off last night."

Holding his bowl, he fixed his gaze at her, his eyes unfathomable.

Raeleigh lowered her head and continued eating, not saying a word nor looking at him, like two strangers, not giving him even a second look.

Jepherson ate, holding his bowl, but he didn't eat much, looking at Raeleigh, waiting for her to look up. But she never did.

After eating, she left the dining table and sat aside, waiting for him to go to work.

But he came looking for her after breakfast.
