Chapter 1576
Chapter 1576
Never in a million years did Stella ever thought she'd be asked to leave by Jepherson. So, she sat there for a long time and did not respond. Jepherson immediately asked the servants to pack up Stella's belongings.
Stella did not protest. After all, she had no rights within the Richards family. Soon, she was escorted out of the manor by the servants.
Before Stella left, she took one look at the Richards Group Manor with a mocking smile. She could not believe that Jepherson had done that.
"Come on, let's go." Since Jepherson asked her to leave, then she was going to leave, but she was not going to let this one slide.
Stella glanced at the person pushing her. Suddenly he bent down and carried her into the car before closing the door.
Stella soon left with her men.
In the car, she asked her servant, "Any idea what Santiago has been up to recently?"
"No, I have no idea."
"Well, forget it."
Stella narrowed her eyes and said indifferently,
"Jepherson, you forced me to do this. Don't blame me for being heartless."
Although this was the end of her stay at the Richards Group Manor, it was just the beginning of her revenge.
Raeleigh did not know why she could not fall asleep. She felt uncomfortable. It was as if she was about to fall sick. She quickly sat up in bed.
Raeleigh touched her head and realised that she was drenched in sweat. She got up from the bed and hurried over to Xanthus' room.
When Xanthus heard the knock on his door, he immediately opened the door and saw his sister. "It's so late already. What's the matter?"
"I have some tightness in my chest and I feel a little out of breath. I can't seem to fall asleep. Can you please have a look to see what's wrong with me?" Raeleigh turned around and showed her brother her drenched pajamas.
"What the-?"
It was soaked through!
"I have no idea what's wrong. I just don't feel well." Raeleigh did not know what was wrong with herself. All she knew was that she felt unwell.
Xanthus quickly invited Raeleigh into his room.
Then he took out his medical kit and started asking her a series of questions. Raeleigh lay on his bed and shook her head to all of his questions. She wasn't feeling any pain anywhere. She just felt unwell. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
After Xanthus examined her, he went and alerted their parents. Lamar and Jazelle came out of their rooms and were surprised when they saw Raeleigh drenched in sweat, lying on Xanthus's bed.
Jazelle hurriedly over and held Raeleigh's hand. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... I don't know. I just can't seem to fall asleep." Raeleigh quickly explained what she felt, not wanting to scare her mother.
How could Jazelle not worry? She held Raeleigh's hand tightly and looked at her husband and son, "What's wrong?"
Xanthus said, "I'm not sure either. I think it's best if we went to the hospital and have the doctors examine her."
Jazelle was afraid that there was something wrong with Raeleigh, so she agreed to send her to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Raeleigh was immediately wheeled into the emergency room. The doctor did a thorough examination and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her.
It was only then that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. All the worry had taken a toll on Raeleigh's body and she eventually succumbed to sleep.
Xanthus, who was sitting by her bedside, said, "I think it might be because she's pregnant. There's nothing to worry about."
"I hope so. I feel bad for the baby." Jazelle said with a worried look on her face. She felt uncomfortable when she realized how much her daughter had been through.
"Mom, why don't you and dad head over to the next room to rest? I will watch over Raeleigh tonight. I will call you if there is anything."
Xanthus did not want his mother to worry so much.
"I think I'll stay here with Raeleigh tonight." Jazelle disagreed. She did not want to leave. She felt better staying and taking care of her daughter. She would be very restless if she couldn't see her.
"Alright. You can stay here if you want."
Lamar did not want to leave either. He too could not help but worry when he saw his daughter lying in a hospital bed.
The first time it happened, they could blame it on being young and inexperienced, but what about this time? Could they blame it on negligence?
No way.
Lamar glanced at the extra bed and said, "Your mom and I will sleep on the bed. You can sleep on the couch."
Although Raeleigh's ward was quite spacious, there were only three beds and one couch. So, they had to make do with what they had.
"I'll make the bed for you." Xanthus got up and went to make the bed. Jazelle and Lamar went to the bed and sat down. They could not help but feel depressed when they saw their daughter. All they knew was that they were not going to allow her to stay in this place any longer. They did not want to put her life on the line.
Before falling asleep, Jazelle looked at her husband and said, "No matter what you guys decide, I will not allow her to stay in this place for long. I can't take it anymore. My heart aches when I see her."
Jazelle was in so much pain that tears rolled down her cheeks. She turned around and faced the wall, not wanting to look at her daughter.
Lamar did not say anything, but he knew his wife was right. They had to take their daughter away from this place.
Xanthus sat on the couch and watched Raeleigh. This matter was really urgent, but Raeleigh was very determined. She was going to find that person. Although she did not say it, he knew that Jepherson was not the father of the baby.
Raeleigh felt much better when she woke up the next morning and had a good appetite.
After eating, the doctor quickly examined her again and confirmed that she was fine before discharging her. Then the entire family made their way back to Waverly Village.
After getting out of the car, Raeleigh entered Waverly Village and immediately gave Jepherson a call.
Jepherson sounded exhausted over the phone and answered in a hoarse voice, "We haven't found him yet. We are still looking for him. I will call you when we find him."
Jepherson knew why Raeleigh had called him.
Raeleigh hesitated for a while then said, "Alright."
Raeleigh hung up the phone. She looked to the sky and could not tell whether she was depressed or not, but she knew she was a little disappointed. It seemed like the higher her expectations, the greater the disappointment. Until now, she still could not find that man.
Raeleigh decided to take a stroll around Waverly Village, while her parents went home. Raeleigh stayed with Xanthus who was parking the car. As soon as he parked the car, Raeleigh's phone rang.
Raeleigh lowered her head to answer the phone. She noticed that it was an unknown number and the first person that came to her mind was Austin.
Raeleigh quickly answered the phone and said, "Hello?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, followed by an evil laugh.
"Stella." Raeleigh immediately knew it was her. However, she did not expect Stella to call her at this time.
"Whose call were you waiting for? Jepherson's?" Stella laughed. Raeleigh frowned and said, "It's none of your business."
"Whatever. I actually have something to tell you. Are you interested?"
"Well, since you already have my number, regardless of my answer, you're still going to tell me."
Raeleigh had changed her phone number. She did not expect Stella to manage to get hold of her new number. Since she had already called, then what else was there to hide?
"Fine, since you put it that way, then I'll tell you.
However, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Raeleigh could almost hear her sinister smile over the phone. She felt chills all over her body but it was not because she was afraid of Stella. It was just instinct.
It was strange that Stella was smiling.
