Perhaps, Zorion could be saved. They were not sure if they should inform Old Master Whalen.
Santiago glanced at him and walked up the stairs. Deanna followed behind closely, tugging and pulling, preventing him from entering Zorion's room. However, it was all in vain as her strength was as weak as that of a chick's.
Zorion refused to eat, as he was on a hunger strike. Deanna was worried, and she couldn't remember the last time she had a proper meal either, or else she wouldn't have lost so much weight.
Deanna couldn't stop Santiago, so she shouted at him, but she shut up when they arrived at Zorion's door.
Santiago turned his head to look at Deanna before pushing the door open and walking in.
When he entered the room, he saw Zorion putting his palms on his chest. He frowned and walked over to Zorion. Looking down at him, he asked, "Are you dead?"
Zorion opened his eyes slowly when he heard Santiago's voice. Only then did he slowly move his hand aside.
He didn't say a word. His was taken away from his thoughts and finally came back to reality.
"Don't scare people into thinking that you're dead. Otherwise, you're better off dying. Raeleigh doesn't belong to you in the first place. You're just a third wheel. Don't you know that?"
"If everyone acts like you when they have a crush on someone, then the world would have been in chaos. Raeleigh was not in the wrong, neither was Jepherson. The fault was yours, to begin with. If you like someone, then you should accept the fate of your unrequited love."
"Not everyone's feelings have to be reciprocated. Everyone likes clowns. Clowns are there to give you joy, but they can't possibly fall in love with you all of a sudden."
"To honor love with death is not wrong. What's wrong is your concept of so-called love. You have to get something that doesn't belong to you. You don't understand what love is."
"You're sad and angry because you can't get it..."
"Get out. Don't bother Zorion." Deanna grabbed Santiago from one side. She didn't want to hear those words, let alone her brother, Zorion.
However, Deanna was weak. She hadn't eaten a proper meal for a while as a result of Raeleigh's and Zorion's matter. Santiago did not lay a finger on her before she fainted right in front of everyone's eyes.
Santiago's eyes were sharp, and his hands were swift. He pulled her into his embrace and he then looked at Zorion. Zorion was stunned before he subsequently got up from his bed. However, he hadn't moved for too long. His body turned rigid, and his blood rushed to his brain as he collapsed onto the bed.
Santiago bent down and picked up Deanna. He put her on the bed, and then called the doctor to come over immediately.
Zorion was also so angry until he passed out.
The butler quickly came up the stairs. Santiago had put Zorion and Deanna on the bed, trying to rub Deanna's pressure points, so that she could be awakened before moving on to Zorion.
After the two siblings woke up, they saw Santiago talking to the butler. "Get them something to eat. Wait for the doctor outside."
"Sure."
After the butler left, Santiago turned around to look at the pair of siblings lying on the bed. Zorion forced himself to sit up and looked at his sister, saying, "Why are you so stupid?"
Deanna pouted. "Zorion, don't die, alright? I'll stop liking Jepherson. I'll listen to you."
After saying that, she lay in Zorion's arms and sobbed. Santiago stood on one side, watching them. Zorion held her in his arms and leaned against her for a while, comforting her. "It's all my fault. I won't be so foolish in the future. I'm sorry I scared you!"
When she heard her brother talking, she burst into tears, causing her to pass out.
Santiago had a helpless expression on his face. He walked over to the bed in a few steps and rubbed an acupuncture point to keep her awake. It was only then that Deanna gradually regained consciousness. However, she was still crying sadly when she woke up.
When the doctor came over, he gave both of them a shot. Deanna was so scared that her face turned pale, and she shrank into Zorion's arms.
Santiago stood at the side. Zorion was in poor health, but he still coaxed Deanna for a long time. Santiago saw Deanna stretching out her hand, closing her eyes tightly, as if she was ready to die.
It was not until the doctor had dealt with it that Deanna calmed down. She stopped shaking in fear and lay still on the bed, soon falling asleep from the exhaustion.
The pair of siblings lay on the same bed. Deanna fell asleep, but Zorion did not.
