Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 977

"Someone, please call the doctor," Jepherson ordered. He was still holding Raeleigh's hand. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

Soon, the group of doctors entered the ward and immediately greeted Jepherson, "Mr. Jepherson."

"Can you please give Raeleigh a thorough examination to check whether she's alright?"

"Yes, Mr. Jepherson."

One of the doctors quickly examined Raeleigh. Once he was done, he immediately backed away.

"Mr. Jepherson, everything checks out alright. You can rest assured."

Jepherson felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his mind when he heard that Raeleigh was fine. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Jepherson was silent for a moment before finally answering the doctor. "Thank you for everything. You guys can leave now. I'll call you if there's anything."

"Alright then."

The doctors left, one after another. Jepherson glanced at Scarlette, who looked very worried, and said, "Can you please go and get us some

breakfast?"

"Right away," Scarlette said and went out. She was glad that Raeleigh was fine. In fact, she was excited. She was so excited that she nearly tripped over after exiting the door.

Santiago, who was sitting along the corridor, raised his eyes. "You don't have to be so excited just because she's awake."

Scarlette did not say anything. She just stared at him.

Santiago stood up and made his way towards the elevator as he mumbled about how dirty his clothes were and how bad he smelled.

Scarlette followed Santiago into the elevator. Then, he suddenly said, "I'll be back later to eat."

Scarlette still did not say anything, but she knew what he meant. It meant that she had to buy him breakfast as well.

As soon as Santiago exited the hospital, he got into his car and left. Scarlette then looked down at her clothes and realized that it was dirty. She did not know whether she should throw it away or attempt to wash it.

After Scarlette left the room, Raeleigh looked over at Jepherson. When she saw his dark eyes, they felt quiet and gentle.

At the thought of her and Santiago's visit to the

Richards family, Raeleigh sighed and looked up at

the ceiling. After a long time, she said, "Your

grandmother doesn't like me."

"So what? Her opinion doesn't matter. Just as long as I like you."

"That is not enough." Raeleigh wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't due to the neck brace.

"There was a wound on your neck, but don't worry, I've already asked the plastic surgeon to stitch it up nicely. It won't leave a scar. You'll just have to lay down and not move."

Raeleigh roughly knew it, and that was why she did not ask anything.

But Raeleigh opened her mouth and closed it again.

Both she and Deanna were captured by Flynt. However, Deanna escaped unharmed while she was wounded. She tried to escape, but her hand was injured by a knife. Thankfully, at that time, she was wearing a coat. Or else, her arm would have been cut off.

It was not that Raeleigh was jealous, she knew everyone's fate was different. Some people were very privileged. They were loved and cared for, while some others weren't. The latter were like weeds, left to fend for themselves.

Regardless, they were weeds. It'd be a joke if they

could survive through winter as they might not even survive through autumn.

Raeleigh was a little frightened as she thought about it. She did not move and her hands were cold.

Jepherson sighed softly and said, "Why are your hands always cold?"

Raeleigh turned slowly to look at Jepherson and said, "I heard people say that if a person was not loved, then their hands would always be cold. I'm not sure whether it's true."

"It's not true." Jepherson lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh's hand. Raeleigh silently looked at him with her empty eyes.

"This is all my fault. I should have made things clear with Deanna. If I did, then she wouldn't have vented her anger on you."
