Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 904

Raeleigh remained silent and Zorion also gradually said no more. The water temperature was kept at a constant high heat and Raeleigh quickly started feeling a little dizzy, but she knew that she couldn't fall asleep while in the bath.

Soon, Deanna called out to Zorion from the other end of the bath. "Zorion, my head is spinning a little." Zorion immediately went over to Deanna, but before he went, he urged Raeleigh to go with him.

"I don't think I'll go over. You can go and take a look. I'll get out of the water in a bit." Raeleigh really didn't want to dawdle in the hot springs much longer.

Raeleigh's calm reply put Zorion at ease. She didn't seem like she was going to run away. Nonetheless, he said, "Don't leave. If you're dizzy, just wait outside the water."

"I know," Raeleigh replied and Zorion left. Raeleigh was about to get out, but then she felt a ripple in the water. Something was approaching her.

Raeleigh looked at the water around her. A small boat made of white paper was floating on the water with a candle on it. It drifted slowly towards Raeleigh.

Raeleigh took the paper boat and blew out the candle. Then, she took a closer look at it.

The boat was a letter. A sentence was written on it.

"I'll wait for you outside," it said. Raeleigh recognized Jepherson's writing.

She stood up immediately to get out of the bath. If she didn't do so immediately, Jepherson might storm in the next moment, inciting even more chaos.

After putting on her loose fitting clothes, Raeleigh left the hot spring baths, changed into her ownoufit, and blow- dried her hair. Then, she walked out of the hot spring resort. A green taxi was stopped out front. Raeleigh looked around and walked towards it. As soon as she leaned in to take a closer look, the door opened and she got in.

The door closed and the taxi drove off immediately.

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief when she ascertained that it was really Jepherson inside. Jepherson sat with his legs crossed. One hand was resting on the seat while the other held a book that belonged to Raeleigh. Raeleigh knew that he must have taken it from her house; otherwise, how could it be in his possession? He could've bought the book himself as it was easily available since it wasn't rare or valuable, but this one obviously had her name written on it in her handwriting.

Jepherson continued reading it as he asked, "Have you recovered?"

Raeleigh knew that he was referring to her hand. "It's healed," she replied.

"Since it's healed, does that mean you can now go to the hot springs with another guy?" Jepherson's offhand tone made Stuart break out in a cold sweat.

Jepherson had rushed over as soon as he received the call. He hadn't rested for an entire day and night; he had simply read Raeleigh's book all the while.

Jepherson brought up this topic as soon as they were reunited, which meant that he must be very angry.

Raeleigh didn't answer his question; she didn't know what to say. She pursed her lips and turned away, gazing at the scenery outside the car window.

The car crossed a bridge that stretched over the sea. Raeleigh was entranced as she had never seen such beautiful scenery.

Jepherson turned around slowly to look at Raeleigh, putting down the book in his hand. He reached over and grabbed Raleigh's hand. He examined her hand carefully to confirm for himself that the injury was healing well. However, there was a faint scar from the stitches.

Jepherson frowned. He raised his head and stared at Raeleigh, who met his gaze. "What's up with these marks?" he asked.

"It's nothing. They said that they'll fade eventually, in two years at most." Raeleigh was at a loss as to what to say. She wanted to retract her hand, but Jepherson pulled her into her arms and hugged her.

Raeleigh had half a mind to struggle and push him away when she heard him say in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't move. I just want to comfort myself."

Raeleigh froze. She didn't make any more movements.

Jepherson patted Raeleigh's shoulder lightly, leaning against the car seat.

Soon after, Jepherson dozed off from his fatigue. When Raeleigh peeked at him, he was already fast asleep. She was about to push him away, but Stuart stopped her.

"Mr. Jepherson has not rested for three days in order to rush here. He went to meet someone in Ocean City two days ago and went to see Novalie immediately after he returned. Then, he rushed here in a day. So, he hasn't had a good rest in a long while."

Raeleigh glanced at Stuart. She rested her hand on Jepherson's shoulder. There was nothing she could do, then.
