Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1611

Raeleigh immediately had her eyes checked that day. Quite a few people followed her; Xanthus, Jepherson, even Jenna.

Those who could go had gone with her.

Raeleigh sat in the corner silently. There was never a moment she had been that quiet. Xanthus stood on her left, and Jenna sat on her right while Jepherson sorted everything out.

As soon as the doctor came out with Raeleigh's report in his hand, Xanthus got up and walked to the door while Jepherson was already standing next to it.

At first, the doctor didn't know how to put it, but he still said, "Mr. Richards, we can't be sure about the examination. It seems that it might be astigmatism."

"Astigmatism?"

Jepherson turned his gaze at Raeleigh, then back at the doctor and asked, "Nothing else?"

"I recommend you do a brain and nerve scan to get a better result."

Jepherson said, "Get it ready at once." "No need. Just get me a pair of glasses." Raeleigh said in a calm voice. It was as if it had nothing to do with her, nor did she want to know the consequences.

Jepherson turned around. "What are you doing?"

He wasn't questioning but negotiating.

Jepherson knew Raeleigh's temper very well. That look meant she was resolute.

Therefore, he could only lower himself.

Raeleigh said, "I am pregnant, and both of those examinations would harm the child. I can't do that; glasses would make do for now."

The doctor said, "You'll notice if you have astigmatism gradually, like when you feel uncomfortable looking at TV or phone screen. But in Miss Anson's case, we suspect the suddenly blurry vision is caused by a brain tumor or some nerve disorder."

"It doesn't matter what caused it. I'll bear the consequences."

Raeleigh stood up and looked at the doctor. The doctor said, "The examination does have certain amount of radiation, but it will not harm the fetus. We will try our best to be careful."

"No, I won't check. Let's get a pair of glasses."

Raeleigh made up her mind. Xanthus said, "It's not up to her. We'll do the examination now; I need to

know the result."

Raeleigh turned around. "It's already settled."

With that, she walked away, and Jepherson tried to catch up with her. As soon as he grabbed her hand, she slapped him in the face.

Everyone fell silent in that instant. Raeleigh swept her gaze across them before heading to the elevator.

"Jepherson, hurry, chase after her."

Jenna shouted. Jepherson strode toward the elevator, but he was too slow as she was already in.

Seeing that she was heading down, Jepherson hurried to the escalator, with Xanthus following behind.

It didn't take long for Raeleigh to reach the exit of the hospital after coming out of the elevator. Now that Jepherson had quickened his pace, he managed to catch up with her.

However, Jepherson didn't stretch out his hand this time. Raeleigh was pregnant, and he was afraid of hurting her.

"The car is outside. I'll drive you home."

Raeleigh glanced at Jepherson. "Thank you."

Jepherson was stunned for a moment. He understood Raeleigh's aggressiveness was out of self- protection, like a hedgehog.

After getting in the car, they did not leave immediately but waited for Xanthus and Jenna before they went home together.

It was as if her slap on Jepherson had never happened.

After returning to the manor, Raeleigh did the usual, but her eyesight was indeed poor.

Raeleigh still held the ruler in her hand and swung it from time to time. No one but herself knew she was checking her eyes.

Raeleigh didn't have dinner that night, saying she wasn't hungry or wanted to see anyone.

While others were eating, Raeleigh went to Santiago's room. Since Jepherson was usually inside, she could only stay there for some time.

What was more, this place did not belong to her. Raeleigh sat down and took Santiago's hand. She came with a nail cutter as her visit then was to give him a simple manicure.

Raeleigh would feel sorry for his hands if they weren't taken care of.

After tidying up, Raeleigh stared blankly at Santiago.

She did not say a word, merely looking at him as she let her mind wander.

When Jepherson went to see Raeleigh, he couldn't find her in her room, so he went to look for her in Santiago's room. She was sitting calmly, horrifyingly calm instead of despondent.

Jepherson had mixed feelings, thinking that it was his appearance that had changed her life.

Without realizing it, he moved. Hearing the sound, she turned to look at the door; no one was there, but she sensed a presence outside. However, she didn't go out.

After watching for a while, Raeleigh finally stood up, tucked Santiago in, and walked out.

Out the door, she looked out the window; it was already dark. She watched the stars for a while before retreating to her room.

Xanthus was waiting for Raeleigh in her room. He didn't intend to force her, but the slap she gave Jepherson didn't only hurt him but Xnathus as well. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When she came in, he immediately said, "We have to talk."

Xanthus was the only one talking the whole time. Even when his mouth was dry from all the talking, she never spoke a word.

Tired, he sat down and said to her, "I'm not trying to go against you, and we will treat your child well. But your health is more important now; let's get you treated first, okay?"

"Xanthus, I want this baby. I've already lost one; I might never get another chance if I lose this one too."

"Even so, you can't risk your life over it." Xanthus choked at his words. He was a man, but even he couldn't stand her doing this. He knew she was upset, but he valued her and wanted her to care for herself.

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus. "I will think about the check-up. Give me a few days."

Xanthus gave in in the end and left Raeleigh's room.

But the following day, no one could find Raeleigh. Everyone was in a state of panic as they searched for her everywhere. Even her phone was off. It was as if she had evaporated into thin air, gone just like that. Xanthus was so anxious that he called her countless times.

They even made a police report, and Jepherson also arranged for his men to search the city.

However, after a fruitless search the entire day, Raeleigh came back on her own that night.

Louisa waited at the gates when she saw a cab stopping a few feet away. Looking over, Raeleigh was coming out of it.

She was wearing a pair of glasses that were quite stylish; it made her look even more delicate now.

Baffled, Louisa stared at Raeleigh and asked, "Raeleigh, did you go and get yourself a pair of glasses?"

"Yeah, I did."

Raeleigh was finally home. The whole time she was out, she was worried Stella would harm her.

Louisa was a little surprised that she only came back at this time when she had only gone to get herself glasses. Everyone was searching for her and even made a police report. Jepherson and Zorion turned the entire city over, looking for her, yet she looked as if nothing had happened. Just what kind of person was she?
