After Santiago finished his breakfast, he drank some water before heading into the bathroom. Once he came out, he looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do? If not, then I'll leave."
Santiago spoke as he walked towards the door. Raeleigh quickly said, "Can you please bring me my laptop?"
Santiago turned around and said, "Alright, no problem."
After saying that, Santiago cast a glance at Jepherson and left.
Scarlette decided to hitch a ride with Santiago back to the university. Throughout the entire journey, she kept her head down and remained silent.
Santiago saw Zorion standing at the university entrance just as he pulled into a parking lot.
Zorion purposely came to the university to find Santiago.
Santiago got out of the car and made his way into the university. He greeted Zorion when he saw him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Where is Raeleigh? How is she?"
"She's dead. You can extend your condolences," Santiago said as he walked past Zorion. Zorion froze for a moment before turning around and following Santiago. He said, "Please don't joke with me. I want to see her, where is she?"
Santiago stopped and turned to look at Zorion. "If you have the will, then go and find her yourself. Why are you asking me? Would you believe me if I said that I have no idea where she is?"
"Nope."
"If you don't believe me, then why are you asking me?" Santiago was amused. He turned around and continued walking towards the university.
Scarlette did not dare to utter a single word the whole time. She quickly followed Santiago as they made their way towards the dormitory.
As soon as Scarlette entered the room, she immediately noticed that Deanna's belongings were gone. With that, she instantly knew that Deanna knew what was going on and that she would no longer be living here.
Scarlette did not know what else to say as reality slowly sunk in.
It was too pathetic for two women to turn against each other just because of a man.
Scarlette found Raeleigh's laptop and handed it to
Santiago. After that, Santiago immediately turned
to leave. Scarlette briefly tidied up the room
before picking up her laptop and catching up to
Santiago.
When the two arrived at the door, Zorion was no longer there. However, Scarlette still looked around to see if he was nearby.
When Scarlette did not see him, she immediately got into the car with Santiago. Once they got into the car, Santiago's lips curled into a smile. He started the car and decided to take another route to the hospital.
"Santiago, did you take the wrong turn?" Scarlette asked.
Santiago did not reply, but he drove at breakneck speed. It was as if he was racing.
Scarlette felt as if she was going to throw up. She hurriedly grabbed hold of the car door handle.
Soon, she saw a convoy of the Whalen family's cars through the rearview mirror. She instantly understood what was going on.
"Santiago, what should we do?"
"Sit tight." After saying that, Santiago slammed on the accelerator. Scarlette could even hear the sound of the tires screeching against the tarmac.
Scarlette had always felt safe in cars, but not that time.
Santiago got out of the car as soon as he pulled
into the hospital parking lot. The convoy of the
Whalen family's cars were nowhere to be seen.
Santiago immediately made his way into the hospital while Scarlette was kneeling on the ground, vomiting out all the contents in her stomach. After vomiting for about ten minutes, she slowly stumbled onto her feet. She felt as if the sky was spinning and could not bring herself to walk steadily.
After a long time, she finally made her way into the hospital. Fortunately, Hadrian was there. She had to rely on him to get to Raeleigh's room. As soon as she arrived at Raeleigh's ward, she immediately collapsed onto the bed.
Raeleigh frowned and asked, "Scarlette, are you alright?"
"Am I alright?" Scarlette did not dare to say anything else. She just lay on the bed and shook her head.
Santiago, who was standing at one side, said, "She's probably having severe motion sickness."
