Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 925

"I'm heading to the nearest hospital. I'm driving now so I'll call you when I'm there." Raeleigh hung up as the traffic light in front turned red. Abruptly, she stopped the car as the tires screeched sharply. It scared the living daylights out of Hadrian. He thought that they had an accident.

Brushing it off, Raeleigh continued on and looked for the hospital. At the sight of an empty parking spot, she went in and helped Hadrian down the car.

As he alighted, he remarked, "I'm not as weak as you think."

Without a response, Raeleigh went into the hospital together with him. After a simple checkup and treatment, Hadrian was good to go. However, he sat on the bed and fixed his gaze at Raeleigh the whole time.

When Scarlette came, Raeleigh had already settled the hospitalization procedure. She urged Hadrian to stay there, but he refused.

"You're prone to tetanus. I think it's better for you to be hospitalized." Raeleigh said with concern.

"I'm fine now." "Let me see," Scarlette walked over to Hadrian's back and looked at his wounds. Hadrian didn't move. Instead, he threw a glance at Scarlette.

She returned the look and said, "You should stay."

Standing aside, Raeleigh kept quiet. After a discussion with Scarlette, they decided that Hadrian should stay in hospital.

"Raeleigh, thank you for helping, if it weren't for you..." After Hadrian settled down, Scarlette went to look for Raeleigh. She was sitting outside the ward.

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at her, "You misunderstood Hadrian and I."

As her eyes widened, she turned away and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't."

"Hadrian has been staring at me because I drove here. On the way, he was scared out of his wits," Raeleigh clarified. She could see that Scarlette was uneasy.

Embarrassed, Scarlette sat down next to her. "I can't help it. A lot of people like you."

"That also means more troubles," Raeleigh laughed, so did Scarlette. Scarlette asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? It's not a big deal. It's all good now," Raeleigh was very clear-headed as she knew that as long as one is alive, anything could be solved.

The dead were incomparable to the ones who were living.

Leaning against her side, Raeleigh squinted her eyes. Scarlette asked with curiosity, "Did you see who was in the car?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "I didn't see him. I just heard a man with an old voice. Frankly, I don't think he's that old. An old man wouldn't speak so arrogantly."

"That's not necessarily the case. Alvin is just like that." It came to the realization that Alvin was long in the tooth.

Puzzled, Raeleigh asked, "Is Stuart's father also grey-haired?"

"I'm guessing he's about the same age as Jepherson's father. He's in his fifties but I don't know exactly. I've never asked." Raeleigh was fiddling with her fingers as she kept quiet.

Could a fifty-year-old be considered old? If not, what age was considered old?

"Scarlette, does Jepherson have any enemies? Any family rival?" Raeleigh wondered.

Why did he want to ignite a conflict between the Whalen and Richards? What was going on?

"I don't know, but Jepherson's family is involved in a business. After all these years, do you think it's possible that he hasn't offended anyone? I heard that the business field is crueler than the battlefield. Death is a very common thing. Be it the loss of stock or being schemed and forced, people commit suicide easily. Just like those in TV series."

"Hmm, maybe. Let's relax for a bit. You go in, I'll stay here. No one will hurt me now that Quirina is gone"

Scarlette thought she had a point, so she went back to the ward while Raeleigh rested outside.

At this moment, her phone rang. It was the man in the car. Taking her phone out, she saw that it was a video of her grandmother buying groceries.

In a daze, Raeleigh deleted the video from her phone. Then, it rang again but this time was a short message.

"Just do as you're told, and your grandmother shall live," Annoyed, Raeleigh switched off her phone.

After putting away the device, she took a nap outside. In the evening, Deanna gave her a ring.

"Hey Raeleigh, I was wondering if you're free to come over tonight? There is no one else in my house," Deanna was whining on the phone.

Raeleigh thought for a moment, "I'm in the hospital." "Hospital? Raeleigh, what's wrong?" Deanna broke out in cold sweat as soon as she heard that Raeleigh was in the hospital.

Pausing for a moment, she blabbered on. "Oh, it's Scarlette. She's having terrible cramps so I brought her to get some painkillers. I'm here to take care of her."
