As soon as the plane landed, Raeleigh followed Jacky back to Waverly Village and straight to the hospital to visit Jared.
Jared was recovering nicely. Raeleigh stood outside and watched him.
Harvey briefly updated Raeleigh on Jared's current condition. When she heard that Jared was doing well, she left feeling a burden lifted.
After coming out of the hospital, Jacky obtained the test results of the ointment that Crevor had given to Raeleigh.
"The ointment is made of a natural substance, which can effectively improve the blood circulation and promote the recovery of bones. There's no trace of any harmful substance. It's all natural and it will not cause any chemical reaction in your stomach even if you mixed it with foods."
Raeleigh frowned and took the box over. Then, she took a look at her left hand and said, "Is he really helping me?"
"I'm not sure either. After all, we all know that Crevor does not have any good intentions."
Raeleigh raised her head. "This is the first time I've heard you say this about a person. Are you only saying this because he is your rival?" "I'm just stating the truth."
"Alright then."
Raeleigh put away the ointment before following Jacky back to the house. Jacky sent someone to protect Raeleigh. That way, Raeleigh did not have to worry about anything.
Before he left, Jacky said to Raeleigh, "Harvey will stay to protect you. You should use this time to get some rest. I will be very busy during this period. It's almost the new year."
"I know."
After that, Jacky left. Raeleigh stood and watched as he walked out of Waverly Village.
After Jacky left, Raeleigh turned around and returned home. It was very quiet in the first few days. Harvey was the only one that frequented the area. He would bring Raeleigh some supplies from time to time, while the food that Raeleigh ate most of the time was from the hotel. Once she receives her food, she would put it in the microwave to heat it up. After eating, Harvey would wash the dishes and bring them back to the kitchen.
Harvey was basically like Raeleigh's caretaker. He was always on call and was in charge of Raeleigh's daily life.
A week passed by quickly and Raeleigh's hands had recovered. When Harvey came, Raeleigh was just about to move her hands, but was stopped by Harvey, "Raeleigh."
Raeleigh looked at Harvey, who released her hands, "Raeleigh, you should always guard against the harm others might do to you."
Raeleigh frowned slightly. "What?"
Harvey took Raeleigh's hand and sat down. "Raeleigh, are you able to move your hands now?"
Raeleigh nodded. "Yes."
Harvey said, "These ointments does the job and the effect is visible, but there is a drug in it which has an acrid, bitter taste and cooling properties. It's called Borneol."
"Borneol?"
"Yes, it tones the heart and improves circulation. It seems that people who have a heart attack will feel comfortable after using it."
"Raeleigh, have you ever thought that if this drug only helps to improve circulation and you're suddenly able to move your hand, what are the effects?"
Raeleigh looked at Harvey for a long time and said, "Thank you. I was careless. I never thought of it that way."
Harvey breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you realised it. I'm going to make some food for you."
Harvey got up to cook, while Raeleigh sat on the sofa and thought about Crevor...
"Raeleigh, Jepherson has been waiting outside for a few days. Aren't you going to see him?"
Harvey asked while they were eating. Raeleigh looked at the calendar and said, "No."
"Jared was discharged from the hospital today and now, he is nowhere to be seen," Harvey said. Raeleigh raised her head to look at Harvey. "He disappeared? He's fully recovered?"
"Yes. He's able to walk on his own, but he still needs to recuperate at home. Jacky asked wants me to take care of him, but he refused."
