Chapter 1578
The doctor swept a quick glance at the people surrounding him. He looked at Raeleigh and said, "We did everything we could. Although he's still alive right now, he's never going to wake up. He's already..."
The next moment, Raeleigh blacked out before she could finish hearing what the doctor had to say.
Everyone including the doctors was frightened.
Xanthus immediately pulled her out of the crowd of people. Everyone were speechless with fear.
Raeleigh woke up and found herself in a hospital ward. She looked at her mother and asked, "Where's Santiago?"
Jazelle wiped her tears and walked over to Raeleigh, "He's in his own ward. His family is with him. Your health is more important. You need to take care of yourself first."
Raeleigh looked at Jazelle, "Mom, I am fine."
Although Raeleigh said she was fine, she could not hide the fact that she had fainted again. Deep down, she knew that her body was weak.
"If you say you're fine, then why did you faint? It scared the hell out of us." Jazelle was terrified because her daughter was pregnant after all.
Raeleigh looked at Jazelle, "Mom, I am really fine. You don't have to worry about me."
Jazelle held Raeleigh's hand. She looked at her daughter and noticed that she seemed a little off. Tears unknowingly rolled down her cheeks. Raeleigh's heart ached when she saw her mother crying. She reached out and hugged her mother.
"I'm sorry."
Raeleigh's voice was hoarse. Jazelle held Raeleigh and cried, "I'm scared when I see you like this."
Jazelle heard that Jenna had fainted several times ever since she found out that Santiago was declared a vegetable. Jenna doted on Santiago the most and could not accept that he would never wake up again.
Jazelle felt numb all over when she heard it. She never thought that things would end up like this. She could not imagine what she would do if she were in Jenna's position.
Raeleigh pushed herself out of her mother's embrace. After a moment of silence, she said, "I am really fine."
Jazelle just stared at her daughter. Since Raeleigh did not mention that she wanted to visit Santiago, she kept quiet.
Raeleigh lay back for a while. After a long time, she asked Xanthos, "How am I doing?"
"You are in good health. The baby is holding strong even after what you've been through." Xanthus did not know what to feel. He never thought that the baby would still be holding strong after going through so much emotional stress.
Xanthus also did not know what to feel about this baby. After all, he did not know who the baby's father was. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Raeleigh smiled, "It seems like the baby is doing much better than the father."
Raeleigh touched her belly. Jazelle felt sad when she saw her daughter's happy face.
"Mom, I'm hungry. Can you please get me something to eat?"
Raeleigh looked at her mother. When Jazelle heard that her daughter was hungry, she hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up. She did not want her daughter to starve to death.
"Alright, give me a few minutes." Jazelle turned and went out. Lamar followed closely behind her. Xanthus and Raeleigh were now the only ones left in the room. Raeleigh informed her brother that she wanted to visit Santiago. She asked him how Santiago was doing.
"He's now a vegetable. He had a severe head injury." Xanthus did not know how to explain it to Raeleigh, but what else could he say? There was no way to turn back time.
Raeleigh stared blankly at Xanthus. There was no point getting sad now.
Raeleigh said, "I want to visit him. Can you please ask dad to bring mom home to rest? I want to go and visit Santiago."
Xanthus was in a dilemma, but he ultimately agreed.
After Raeleigh got out of bed and got dressed. Xanthus accompanied Raeleigh over to Santiago's ward.
When Raeleigh arrived outside Santiago's ward. Jacky and the others were there. When Deanna saw Raeleigh, she immediately stood up.
"Raeleigh." Deanna said as she approached Raeleigh. Raeleigh did not say anything but looked at the people outside the ward. She could not remember how she ended up there. She stood at the door and looked inside. She swore that this was the first time that she had seen Santiago so quiet. His face was so pale as he slept peacefully. He did not even move his feet. If it wasn't because of the machines that was helping him breathe, Raeleigh would not believe that he was still alive.
Santiago's head was also wrapped in white gauze, which gave one hope that he was still alive.
Raeleigh pushed the door open and entered the room. She kept her eyes fixed on Santiago who was lying in bed. She stopped and took a deep breath before she continued to walk towards his bedside.
Raeleigh stopped said, "Santiago, don't worry, I will avenge you. From now on, no one can stop me from going after Stella. I will make sure she dies in front of you. I want her to pay for what she did to you."
When Raeleigh said this, both Jepherson and Hansen raised their heads. Jenna also shed tears. "Raeleigh..."
Raeleigh looked at them and said, "I know you might not believe my words, but I don't feel like explaining either."
After saying that, Raeleigh held Santiago's hands. "Santiago, I know you can hear me."
"I am pregnant. The baby doesn't have a father. I need you."
Tears fell out of Raeleigh's eyes when she spoke. Her tears landed on Santiago's pale hands. Raeleigh continued, "It doesn't matter if I have to wait three years or thirty years. I promise that I will not get married until you wake up!"
"Raeleigh..."
Xanthus was standing at the door. He did not expect Raeleigh to drop such a bombshell.
He was her brother. How could he bear to watch his sister do this to herself?
Raeleigh turned to look at Xanthus. "I owe him this. He has me in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into Stella's trap."
Raeleigh's lips trembled when she spoke, but she raised her hand to wipe her tears. She looked at Xanthus and said, "You may not understand it because you have no idea how much he loves me."
"He kept it in his heart and did not let anyone know. I too pretended to be blind to his feelings. I wanted to tell him that I was not worth it, but I could not bring myself to do it."
"Because I know that he will not listen to me."
As Raeleigh spoke, she looked at Jepherson, "I will not forgive you. I will not forgive myself either, but I cannot afford to lose another loved one again."
"Jepherson, I am not blaming you, but I will never love you again!"
Jepherson's face was still pale. He hadn't fully recovered after donating blood to his brother.
He was also in a daze when Raeleigh came in.
Jepherson did not answer so Raeleigh continued speaking, "In the vast sea of people, I'm very lucky to have met so many people along the way. I'm very grateful to each and every one of them. I've always wanted to walk through life quietly, but I never thought that this road is full of thorns and hardships."
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson with a mocking smile. Jepherson slowly clenched his fist.
