Raeleigh walked outside with Zorion for a while before she went back at one o'clock.
"If you don't feel well after tonight, I'll take you to the doctor." Before leaving, Zorion said while standing at the door. Raeleigh said that she was fine now. In order to prove it, she waved to Zorion.
Zorion looked at Raeleigh and said with a smile, "I know it hurts. Sorry that I only cared about myself during the day. I forgot to ask how were you. Next time, I will try to be more considerate."
"There won't be a next time. I don't like this joke."
"Really? Well, I'm looking forward to it," Raeleigh turned around and left, while Raeleigh was staring blankly at the back of Zorion.
She was not sure how Zorion would end up like this.
It was already midnight. Raeleigh couldn't sleep in either the daytime or at night. Now, not only was her biological clock flipped upside down, she felt like her whole world was also upside down.
Raeleigh went back to the dorm to have a rest. Deanna was lying with her head upside down, "Raeleigh, I miss my brother so much. He called me just now, he was downstairs."
Raeleigh lay down on the bed and did not know what to say.
"You'd better go back tomorrow."
"I will eventually leave my brother. I need to learn to take care of myself."
Deanna felt quite disappointed when she said these words. Raeleigh, who was lying on the bed, had a kind of indescribable feeling.
Standing on the side, Scarlette said, "I think you'd be better staying with your brother."
"No, I'm going to marry Jepherson in the future."
The mood in the dorm was killed off by what Deanna said. Raeleigh was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling the whole night. The three of them didn't rest until early in the morning.
Raeleigh woke up at six o'clock in the morning. She stood up and tried to wake the other two girls. However, neither of them wanted to get up, so Raeleigh gave up.
"Sigh continue sleeping guys. I'm going to class. I can't skip classes all the time."
Both of them did not respond. Raeleigh knew that it was useless to say anything, so she left after saying goodbye.
Raeleigh received a call from Jepherson as she was on her way to class. He asked if she had time and told her that he was waiting at the school gate.
Raeleigh did not know what Jepherson was up to that he had to come to the school gate to find her.
At the door, as expected, Jepherson's car was parked there. Raeleigh didn't hesitate and approached him. Stuart immediately rushed over to open the door for her.
Raeleigh got in the car and closed the door. Then, Jepherson ordered the driver to start the car.
"Where are you going to take me? I have classes to attend. Scarlette and Deanna are still sleeping," Raeleigh was worried about Deanna in particular.
"I've received a text from Scarlette. Don't worry. I need to take a look at your arm," Jepherson sent his hand over. Raeleigh didn't know what to do. Her hand was pulled over by Jepherson and pulled her sleeve directly.
Jepherson's expression eased a little when he saw that her wound had scabbed.
The car then stopped at the entrance of a hotel. The hotel had already been prepared for their arrival. Jepherson then got out of the car and Raeleigh was led into the hotel and upstairs.
Raeleigh stood at the entrance. Jepherson said while walking, "You should change your clothes and take a nap. Scarlette said you didn't rest all night. Is your wound painful?"
"How does Scarlette know that I didn't rest all night?"
Jepherson didn't answer, but Raeleigh understood what he meant through his gaze. He believed everything Scarlette said.
"Well, I didn't sleep last night and I'm very sleepy now. I hope I can nap for a while," Raeleigh couldn't stand it anymore.
Jepherson looked at the big bed and walked to Raeleigh. He bent down to pick her up in his arms and carried her to the bed.
As soon as he put Raeleigh down, his body was pressed down on Raeleigh's. Raeleigh could feel his warm breath on her face, it was like the stirring wind, which made Raeleigh feel a little uncomfortable. She desperately tried to leave.
"Why are you always avoiding me? Is this really what's best for us?"
Raeleigh could not push him away, so she said, "No."
"You're smart," Jepherson stood up and covered Raeleigh with the quilt, "Take off your clothes so you don't worsen your wounds. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Let's talk about work."
Scarlette had already sent Raeleigh's new car design to Jepherson. For Raeleigh, a highly talented car designer, finding a sponsor who understood art was her best chance, and Jepherson would not miss this opportunity.
Raeleigh had yawned a few times. She hesitated whether or not to take off her clothes, but she still took them off in the end.
After putting away her clothes, Raeleigh covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
Jepherson sat aside and looked at the car design on his phone while he looked after Raeleigh who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Marissa called Jepherson.
"Jerry, why aren't you home? Where did you run off to?" Marissa had some matters to attend to today, she had a few friends to meet. However, it was troublesome to ask them to come over to their house.
Marissa thought of asking her grandson to arrange this matter, so he called someone.
"Something came up, grandma. What's the matter?"
"Just a few friends coming over. You know that I don't have many friends. They were my childhood friends. Please arrange it for me," Marissa was not reluctant to ask her grandson's to do her a favour.
"When will they be there?"
"We've already arrived at the hotel. If you have time, send someone to welcome them."
"Okay."
Jepherson hung up the phone and sent a text message to Stuart, asking him to make the proper arrangements.
After putting down the phone, Jepherson went to bed. He put down the book, changed into his pyjamas and lay down beside Raeleigh. He fell asleep soon after.
