Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 894

Raeleigh looked at the pair of siblings in front of her for a while. Finally, she settled on reading her book quietly. The doctor examined Raeleigh again that night to make sure that everything was alright before they left.

After the doctor left, Raeleigh's gaze flitted to her phone. If she did not return that week, what would happen on the weekend when she was supposed to visit her grandmother?

Novalie would be worried.

Raeleigh picked up the phone and made a longdistance call to Novalie. Novalie would understand if she explained it to her.

The call connected. Although it was 4 a.m. in Tamberland, Novalie had already woken up by that time. Raeleigh knew that she usually went to bed early and got up early too. When Novalie was young, she would go and collect recyclables to earn a living. If she got up late, those bottles and cans would be picked up by others.

Novalie had a habit of getting up early since her youth. It was an unbreakable one which she could not change afterwards.

However, after she woke up, Novalie had broken her habit of going out to collect those recyclables. After adopting Raeleigh, she did not collect recyclables anymore for Raeleigh's sake. Children grew up too fast. If, after Raeleigh grew up, people found out that she had a grandmother who picked up recyclables for a living, it would not reflect well on her.

Even though Novalie did not care about the nature of the job, she was obliged to create a good environment for Raeleigh to grow up in. To that end, she would do as much as she could.

Novalie was resting with her eyes closed when her phone rang. No one else would call her other than the welfare institution of the district committee, and Raeleigh.

Novalie fumbled to get her phone and answered the call.

"Grandma." When Raeleigh talked to Novalie, her voice was child-like, like she was dependant on Novalie. It wasn't the same as Deanna's tone towards Zorion, but a softness and weakness within Raeleigh. Zorion never heard Raeleigh speaking that way usually.

Zorion quietly watched Raeleigh. She was smiling blissfully.

"Something came up, so I went abroad with my friend." Raeleigh paused for a moment after saying that. She was waiting for Novalie's reply. The reply seemed to have come, and Raeleigh uttered a sound of agreement. Then, she continued, "I didn't want to come at first, but there were some matters that led to this.."

"Yes, I know. You may not be able to go back this weekend. Please take good care of yourself. Don't skimp when you want to buy anything; I have living expenses now."

Raeleigh was on the phone for a while. Novalie had absolute faith in Raeleigh, and reminded her to look out for herself. After hanging up, Raeleigh was mainly worried about the cost of the longdistance phone call.

Sure enough, when the call ended, a text message came in. The phone was out of credit.

Raeleigh held her cellphone. She was glad that she had called Novalie.

Zorion watched as Raeleigh let out a sigh of relief, then returned to being silent.

Raeleigh put away the phone. Then, Scarlette walked over and asked, "Is the phone out of credit?"

Scarlette understood Raeleigh well. The last time she traveled with Jepherson, she did not top up her phone credit either. Scarlette really could not comment much on Raeleigh. All she could say was, she was grateful that Jepherson gave her the phone.

"I don't make calls, so we won't need to worry about the credit yet. I'll top it up when we get back to Tamberland," Raeleigh replied Scarlette as she sat on the bed. It was dark outside, and Raeleigh did not give a second thought to the matter. However, her phone began ringing in the middle of the night.

It was midnight, and the phone was going off in the room where everyone was asleep. Moreover, the ringtone was a lullaby. Anyone would be rattled by it.

Raeleigh sat up, groped for her phone, and checked it. A notification showed that 500 dollars had been credited to her number. Raeleigh held the phone, suspecting that it was Jepherson.

Then, Raeleigh received another message. It was another 500 dollars. Raeleigh's cellphone kept ringing. Ten minutes later, it amounted to 20,000 dollars.

Sitting up on the bed, Raeleigh crunched the numbers and concluded that it was indeed 20,000 dollars.

Everyone in the ward woke up due to the noise. The last one to get up was Deanna. She rubbed her eyes, plopped onto the bed, and kicked her feet around, asking Raeleigh, "Raeleigh, is your phone broken?"
