Raeleigh stood there for a while. It was only after she felt chilly that she decided to leave. But when she turned around, Crevor was there across from her. She stared at him in an absent- minded manner as a thought popped up that this man had impeccable timing at every moment.
Crevor stepped towards Raeleigh just as she asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Doyle?"
"I wanted to see you."
"Mr. Doyle is really all-pervasive. No matter where I am, Mr. Doyle can always find me. It's really strange."
Crevor smiled at her and stated, "With my current ability, finding a person is a piece of cake."
"Then you'd better not look for me next time." Raeleigh walked away, only for Crevor to follow right behind her. She felt that heaven was really short-sighted at times, especially at this present moment. It started to snow minutes after Crevor had arrived. Snowflakes drifted freely down from the sky, but to watch it with Crevor beside her, the feeling it wrought was, to her, quite unpleasant.
Raeleigh remained silent throughout. She walked at an unhurried pace and yet Crevor took this chance to speak out to her, "Revon and I recently talked about you. We wanted to check on you and ask when you will return."
Raeleigh did not answer. Crevor continued, "This is a box of ointment made by Revon. He asked me to bring it to you."
Crevor took out the aforementioned ointment and Raeleigh took a look at the small red box.
She also did not know what to say at this point.
"Take it first."
With that said, Crevor gave the ointment to Raeleigh. She pushed it back. "No need. It's better to nurse oneself slowly to health."
"Still, keep it first. Since it's Revon who gave it to you, I must insist that you take it." He then slipped the ointment in his hand into Raeleigh's pocket. She did a quick look and found it was in the pocket on her left hand side. It would be troublesome for Raeleigh to fish it out now.
Unable to take it out, she just turned back around and continued her trek. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of the village. The sight of the entranceway, however, made her stop and stare. In all actuality, she didn't have any deep feelings about it. It was just that at this moment, when she could not see Jepherson's car, her heart was troubled.
Raeleigh felt that this was quite ridiculous. Since she couldn't give him anything, and now with what happened before, not to mention the rest, wasn't breaking up with him the best option?
But she always felt that Jepherson went overboard each and every time. If he did it again, someone would surely die.
Raeleigh stood there for a while. Just as she was about to go back in, a child bumped against Raeleigh, which almost knocked her down to the ground. However, Crevor took the brunt of the fall for her. He fell to the ground in her stead while Raeleigh was unscathed because of him.
Crevor laid sprawled on the ground, a shift in his expression as sweat broke out on his forehead.
Raeleigh froze. Could there be such a coincidence?
Raeleigh took a look. A rock had wedged itself through his pants, and when she pulled it up, she saw that it had broken the skin.
Raeleigh raised her head and fixed Crevor with a look. "Are you wearing only one pair of pants on such a cold day?"
Crevor got up from the ground, removed the stone that was stuck in the flesh, and pressed his trousers down with his hand. "These are thermal pants."
" " Raeleigh frowned, "I will take you to the
hospital."
Raeleigh gave him a hand and forcefully pulled him up. Then she took Crevor to the hospital.
After she dealt with Crevor, Raeleigh was ready to send him back, but Crevor sat inside with no intention to leave.
"You don't want to go?" Raeleigh asked as she stood in his ward. It was a bit strange that he needed to be hospitalized for such a small injury.
"I want to stay. When I go back to the big house, I'm alone. I heard that the environment here is good. So spending the New Years here isn't a bad idea."
"There are a lot of people in your house. You can't just forget about the servants."
"Raeleigh, I hope you can be my friend. You should know that if things go on like this."
Raeleigh wore a sardonic smile, "I didn't know about this before. Now that you want to live here, I can help you with the hospitalization procedure. After all, you got hurt for my sake."
Raeleigh turned around and left. Not long after, she went through Crevor's hospitalization procedures and sent someone to inform him. She did not stay any longer and returned to her own ward.
