Jared walked to the car and looked inside. Raeleigh happened to open her eyes and saw him looking inside.
Raeleigh opened the door and got out from the car while Jared took a step back. Seeing her get out of the car, he turned around and went back to his place.
Xanthus went to fetch a blanket and covered Raeleigh with it when he saw her getting out of the car. After that, he brought her inside.
"What are you looking at?" Xanthus asked her as she turned her head to look at Jared, who had already gone back. Raeleigh cracked a smile in amusement. "Nothing."
Returning to the house, Raeleigh did not stay downstairs any longer. She immediately went upstairs to visit Novalie, who had not been out for a long time. There were servants employed to take care of her upstairs. Novalie had told Raeleigh not to visit her unless she had something important. She also said that every time Raeleigh visited her, it would make her miss Raeleigh even more. Therefore Raeleigh might as well avoid visiting her.
In fact, it didn't matter whether Raeleigh visited her.
Raeleigh was in a good mood that day. She entered Novalie's room and chatted with her for a little bit. It was only after that that she left and went back to her room.
When Raeleigh looked out of her room at night, there was a fleeting flash in the car downstairs. It disappeared immediately.
Raeleigh knew that Jared was inside the car. After Jepherson left, Jared stayed in the car almost every day. It was not for a little while, but for the whole night.
He seemed to be indifferent and didn't care about her, but over the past few nights, since Crevor had showed up, he had been guarding her. This was because he was afraid that something bad would happen to her.
Even Jared had an undisclosed side in his character. Raeleigh was aware that if it had not been for her, nothing would have happened to Santiago back then. This was the reason Jared had always refused to forgive her.
Actually, Raeleigh didn't want to forgive herself either.
After standing there for a little while, Raeleigh turned around and rested for the night. In the next morning, Raeleigh came out of the house and Xanthus intended to follow her. Raeleigh said, "Don't follow me. You keep taking me as a child, like I'm about to be lost at any time. I've said that I'll be fine. The hospital would be very busy. Why don't you go back? If anything happens to me, you won't be able to save me even if you're here and I would worry that something may happen to you."
"I won't disturb you. I can be your driver."
Xanthus couldn't leave Raeleigh alone. He did not trust Jared, who seemed to be undependable in his eyes.
"Go to the hospital, or I won't go out."
The brother and sister argued outside for a bit. In the end, Xanthus gave in and agreed to go to the hospital.
After Raeleigh left, he intended to follow her. Raeleigh asked the chauffeur to stop the car, flagged down Jared's car and got into it.
"Get rid of my brother."
Raeleigh got into the back seat without hesitation. Jared took a quick look behind and drove fast. As a result, Xanthus could not catch up with them.
Raeleigh sat stably in the back. It didn't take long before they lost sight of Xanthus's car, hence Jared slowed down the car.
Sitting behind, Raeleigh told Jared, "There aren't many affairs in the company today. Let's take a ride around here."
Jared shot a glance at Raeleigh through the rearview mirror, as if he did not believe that such words would come out of Raeleigh's mouth. He had a moment of bewilderment, but he still drove Raeleigh around the city.
At noon, Raeleigh got out of the car and went to the restaurant to have lunch. Afterward, she continued to take a ride in Jared's car.
Raeleigh's assistant called her, asking where she was. Raeleigh darted a glance at Jared and told her, "I'm shopping in a mall, which is located near Fifth Avenue."
Hanging up, Raeleigh's eyes landed on Jared, who then parked the car at the entrance of the mall Fifth Avenue. The two of them waited outside the mall.
Within 20 minutes, it could be seen that several cars were parked nearby the mall. People in various colors of outfits emerged from those cars, including some women.
Seeing them enter the mall, Raeleigh opened the car door and got out.
Jared did the same. Raeleigh made her way into the mall, followed by Jared.
Not long after that, Raeleigh arrived at the mall. Raeleigh knew that those people were stalking her because she had seen them when they came out from their cars.
