Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1669

Raeleigh was brought to the police station by the police who came to the hospital.

She went with them cooperatively but didn't reveal her identity. She just told them that she'd happened to pass by as the accident happened and didn't have time to mull things over. She'd just rescued the people in two of the cars, but she didn't know what had happened to the six others in the other cars.

She told them that there were already two people in their car and they just didn't have enough space to save anyone else.

"Why didn't you call the police, then?" the police officer asked Raeleigh. She looked at the person next to her. "Didn't you call the police?"

The person next to her was supposed to be her security detail. He said, "I thought you called them!"

The police officer sitting across from them was lost for words. It looked like they'd been so caught up in the situation that they'd overlooked it!

"Since there's nothing much at the moment, you guys can leave for now. Well contact you if there are any new developments."

Raeleigh stood up and signed the report before leaving with her security detail.

When she walked out of the police station, she saw Jepherson's car parked outside. She glanced at the person next to her, then headed towards a taxi. She went straight back to the hotel as Jepherson's car trailed her from a distance.

After getting out of the car, Raeleigh said a few things to the person with her before heading into the hotel.

She wasn't curious to find out about what had happened. She just wanted to take a bath. She took her clothes off and put them to one side.

Jepherson came in after her and looked at the bathroom before pushing the door open to check on her.

Raeleigh was already soaking in the tub. When she saw him, she said, "I'm not meant for this place."

"Same here."

Jepherson took off his clothes and got into the tub as well. He sat down across from Raeleigh and washed perfunctorily before scooting over to her side and wrapping his arms around her.

Raeleigh looked at him. "Santiago's already turned out like that. I don't want either of us to end up becoming like that too."

"I saw what Jacky looked like when he was killing, and I've seen what Stella looked like when she was losing her mind."

"I know that I'll be plagued by nightmares if I stay here. I'm terrified that something like that's going to happen again and I don't know how long I'll live."

"If a person's destined to die, they'll die anywhere. It's not to say that you'll be able to live forever if you stay away from all of this. There are so many people dying in hospitals every day. If one is afraid of death, one shouldn't even have been born." Jepherson had one arm wrapped around Raeleigh and caressed her face with his free hand.

Raeleigh shook her head. "Some people can live a peaceful life by keeping themselves away from all of these things. It's just like how cockroaches can survive in the dirtiest environments but will die when they're in a clean, enclosed space."

"On the other hand, some plants can survive with just clean water but will die in a dirty environment."

"I'd much rather be a plant than go to all sorts of places. I just need some water and sunlight to thrive."

Jepherson suddenly felt amused. "If the world were that simple, there wouldn't be so many

questions, would there? You're just being all pessimistic now."

He gently caressed her waist and pulled her closer to him to press his lips to hers. He lifted her on top of him and she wrapped her legs around him.

They leaned against the tub and the water sloshed around with their actions...

On this day, they spent the whole day sleeping, finally being roused from sleep in the evening.

It was Zorion who called. He said that something had happened at the hospital. Someone had tried to get at Monroe and his sons, but Zorion's men had stopped them.

Jepherson got out of bed and stood in front of the window, watching as twilight approached.

Raeleigh opened her eyes and watched him. "If I don't leave, things will never settle down."

Jepherson merely smiled. "If this is the calm before the storm, then I hope that this storm is stronger than the last."

He turned and looked at Raeleigh. "We won't lose this time."

Raeleigh sat up in bed. "Let Cynthia go and I'll stay."

Jepherson paused and stared at Raeleigh. "Why?"
