Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1814

"Quit crying."

Santiago was all smiles when he spoke. Standing by the door, everyone goggled at Raeleigh and Santiago as if they were some rare animals in the zoo.

Raeleigh held back her tears gradually, whereas Santiago pushed her away. After that, she sat on one side, fixing her eyes on him. Santiago moved and gave her a pinch on the face. "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Raeleigh's voice was gruff in the wake of constant sobbing.

Santiago loosened his grip. "And now?"

Raeleigh did not answer but just stared at Santiago, who cracked a smile and looked at the opposite side, "Please clear out. I want to be alone with Raeleigh for a while."

"She's your sister- in- law," Jepherson reminded. Santiago let out a laugh. "Haven't you two divorced?"

"She's still your sister-in-law even after divorce." There was a fierce look in Jepherson's eyes.

Santiago couldn't care less. He said, "I don't care. I want Raeleigh with me now, so get out. I'm going

to have a few words with her."

Jepherson stepped forward to Santiago. Raeleigh said, "You should leave first. Let me speak to Santiago."

Jepherson paused for a second. "Come again?"

"What do you don't..."

"It makes no difference. Get out, or I'll leave."

Santiago lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed. Seeing this, Jenna grabbed Jepherson immediately.

"Santiago isn't serious. Let's go out."

Jenna dragged Jepherson out emphatically. Exiting the room and standing aside, he was seized with anger. Jenna persuaded him by saying, "Your brother has just come around. Maybe his brain is in a befuddled state. Since he has woken up, don't argue with him."

Jepherson gazed at Jenna. "Mom, I got it."

"You're always my good boy."

Jenna wiped off her tears, rejoicing that Santiago had finally regained his consciousness. She thought that he would never wake up again.

Hansen, on the other hand, was a little dazed as he stood at one side inarticulately.

They were holding out hope, but then the hope was dashed. Now that Santiago came to life out of the blue, he was at a loss of what to do.

Inside the room, Raeleigh's eyes were riveted on Santiago. "I thought you wouldn't wake up. I tested you so many times, but you didn't even respond. This time, I didn't test you, but you came around."

"Did you think your testing can determine my consciousness?" Santiago found it funny. He leaned against the headboard and stared at Raeleigh, having a pale complexion and a thin physique. Meanwhile, Raeleigh was at a loss. She leaned over all of a sudden and held him over the shoulders tightly.

"I almost left. I thought you wouldn't wake up."

Santiago lifted his hands to embrace her. "Only when a person has been close to the brink of death can they apprehend how important loving a person is. Unfortunately, I grasp it too late and now there's so much distance between you and me."

Santiago's face was just beside Raeleigh's. He said softly, "I'm sorry."

With that, he pecked her on the cheek. He tightened his arm around her body to embrace her tightly.

"Pardon me coming too late and being so powerless."

Raeleigh shook her head, weeping.

Santiago leaned against the headboard of the bed, raised his head and cuddled Raeleigh. "Nonetheless, I'm blessed with the chance to meet you again. Even if I have to suffer a lot for it, I'll accept it.

We are not destined to be together in this life. If there's another life for us, let's be a couple. I'll never let go."

Raeleigh withdrew her body slowly and focused her eyes on Santiago. "You know that I—"
