Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 835

After leaving the concert hall, Raeleigh became incredibly silent. She wasn't sure why Jepherson had brought her here and even though she had never been to a place like this, she knew that she wouldn't have been allowed into the concert with the attire she was wearing.

If it weren't for Jepherson, she wouldn't have been allowed to go in at all.

The concert had yet to end, and they could've left slightly later, but it would have been crowded at the end of the show. Raeleigh was aware that Jepherson didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention, therefore they left the concert early.

The two of them walked out of the elevator as Stuart walked in front of them. Jepherson got into the car after Raeleigh. The concert hall's supervisor and manager watched them leave as they stood outside Jepherson's car.

On the way back, Raeleigh closed her eyes without thinking as she leaned against the car seat. She usually went to bed at ten o'clock at night and due to spending her time focusing on the game the night before, she felt exhausted that day. Moreover, it was late.

Jepherson leaned over and pulled Raeleigh to him, so that she could lean against his body. He lifted his wrist to check the time as one of his arms circled around her. It was way past ten o'clock.

"Mr. Jepherson, are we heading back to the university?" Stuart asked as he figured that there was no point heading back since it was closed.

"Yes."

"Alright."

More than half an hour later, the car arrived and stopped at the entrance of Elkton University. Stuart and the driver got down from the car. He then stood aside and guarded it. Jepherson leaned against the car seat with his eyes closed as he did a light patting motion on Raeleigh with his hand.

Raeleigh didn't notice anything wrong as she was dreaming. She had a dream that her grandmother was patting her to sleep.

She recalled a huge fire at the orphanage back then. Everyone perished in the fire, and she was the only one who made it out alive.

She remembered that her grandmother was nearby, collecting recyclable items that day. She heard people screaming and ran towards the direction of the screams. It was late at night. She tried to look for help, and she saw Raeleigh on the ground crying. Raeleigh had a wet blanket covering her body that was put on her by the orphanage's caretaker.

She was still physically fit back then, and she quickly grabbed Raeleigh away from the fire.

The orphanage building collapsed and a bright light shone. Just like that, the fire took away the orphanage from her while ending more than ten innocent lives.

From that day onwards, she was given the name Raeleigh.

She thought it was a good name for her.

Raeleigh could still remember that she had a high fever after she was saved from the fire. The fever wouldn't go down, but her grandmother did not admit her to the hospital. She said that there must have been a reason behind such a huge fire, and it was her destiny that she happened to be nearby that night. It was a sign from God.

A few days after the incident, there were a bunch of people who showed up asking about the incident. They asked if anyone around saw the kids that escaped the orphanage. Her grandmother claimed that she did not see any of them. Those people didn't seem like they were from the management team of the orphanage, and it meant that there was a hidden truth behind the fire.

Raeleigh remembered that there were seven other girls in the orphanage who were the same age as her. She heard that they only managed to find six bodies and that must have meant that there was one missing girl from the fire. The bunch of people must have been looking for the seventh girl.

From then on, Raeleigh would get nightmares every night. She would often cry or yell in her sleep. As a result, her grandmother was worried about her and would always pat her to sleep. Raeleigh's condition got better ever since she went to high school.
