Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1626

By the time Raeleigh went to see Jacky, he was able to sit up from his bed. His body was wrapped in bandages, just like Jepherson, and for a moment Raeleigh felt that they were kindred spirits.

Nevertheless, she hadn't expected it when Stella was found, how ignorant she was on the reason why Jacky was injured in the first place.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at him in concern, "Are you feeling better?"

Jacky's thoughtful look made him seem as if he had fallen into a doze. Deanna took care of him all this while, to the point where she prioritized him more than her own child. If anyone dared to utter a single protest, she would get confrontational with them until no one dared to bother her any longer. It was only when Raeleigh arrived that Deanna had relaxed and returned slowly to her usual self.

"Jacky, Raeleigh is talking to you."

Deanna saw that Jacky had not replied and took the initiative to speak to him. Jacky looked at her and grasped her hand, before he looked towards Raeleigh, "I'm much better. Thank you for coming to see me."

Zorion sat to the side, here in his job scope as a specialized caretaker.

"How did you end up like this?" Raeleigh questioned.

"It's my personal matters, it's best that I don't say."

In the end, Jacky still chose to keep his silence. It wasn't appropriate for Raeleigh to probe any further and even though she heard snippets about the matter with Logan, she knew nothing else.

Raeleigh sat there a while before she stood up. She had got what she came for.

However, just as Raeleigh was about to leave, Jacky called out to her. When she turned to look at him, he told her, "Tell Jepherson that I've found that person but wouldn't be able to hand them over to him."

Raeleigh regarded Jacky with an intent look, "If you have a grudge against the Doyle Family over this incident, I'm afraid the road ahead for you will not be easy."

Jacky returned her gaze with his own. A cold light flashed within his deep-set eyes and his mouth curled at the corners into a derisive smile. "Since I've already borne a grudge, I'm not going to let the Doyle family off the hook. A rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel. Even if the Doyle family doesn't come to look for me, I'll go to them myself. This is something that's inevitable."

It was useless for Raeleigh to say anything more about the subject. Then a thought came to her and she asked, "Are you sure that the one you are looking for is Stella?"

"I will probe further on this before taking actions, you can rest assured."

Raeleigh contemplated for but a moment. "I will keep it in mind."

She finally turned around and left the room just as Jacky's breathing became heavy from the pain his body was going through.

Zorion kept an eye on Jacky's condition but had yet to say a word.

Deanna helped to shift Jacky down onto the bed. Although his gaze was cold, the hand that was still grasped over Deanna's was warm.

At this moment, Zorion had a feeling that things were about to change.

Raeleigh left and went straight back to the Richards family. Stella had been arrested, which made Raeleigh feel a little at ease. Now all that needed to be done was confirm whether Stella was truly Stella.

Raeleigh took in her surroundings on her way back, her eyes shut in thought from time to time.

The journey back was very peaceful without any surprise encounters. That meant that Stella was really caught by Jacky after all.

Once back at the Richards Family, Raeleigh went to see Jepherson. She told him everything; from the fact that Stella had been caught, to Jacky's heavily injured state, the severe losses and how he refused to hand over Stella to Jepherson.

Jepherson gazed at Raeleigh without saying a word. For a while he sat there, then moved to lie down.

Then he closed his eyes to rest.

Raeleigh walked over and sat beside him. People had feelings, especially people like Jepherson whose life was saved by Stella.

Childhood memories had the deepest impact in one's life, where as a child he had yet to be touched by the adult's deceitful scheming ways. It was normal that he valued these feelings so much.
