Chapter 1610 What Was Wrong With Her Eyes
It was the first time Raeleigh learned people would feel pain after their death.
"Do you mean Santiago can feel pain?" Raeleigh asked. Xanthus explained, "Yes. More than that, the
feeling would be rather intense as well. He has merely fallen into unconsciousness, trying to wake up,
but his body isn't allowing him to, so he can only stay like this."
"Even in his subconscious mind, his heart would suddenly spasm. We call this a systole spike in the
medical field, which can prove that he reacts to pain."
"But the pain will have to be extreme for the spasm to happen, and it will do damage to his heart. If
poorly executed, he might go into shock."
"And if it happens at this time, he will die, for real."
Raeleigh's face turned pale. "He will?"
"Yes, real death, so I can only take things a step at a time," Louisa explained.
Raeleigh stood looking at Santiago, who was sleeping like a child, deep in thought. After a long time,
she said, "I understand. You guys are the experts; do as you see fit."
"We'll stop here today then. We won't bother Mr. Harvey for now; we'll take our rest." With that, Louisa
and Colston retreated, and so did Raeleigh. "Let's go too," she said to Xanthus.
Only Jepherson was left. He got up, walked to Santiago, took off his clothes, and laid next to him. The
bed was big to fit three easily, let alone the brothers.
Out of Santiago's room, Raeleigh and Xanthus retreated to their rooms. Raeleigh looked out the
window at the weather after she closed the door. They would've known each other for a year after
sometime later.
It had only been a year, yet so much had happened.
With that thought in mind, she went to bed. She had a sleepless night that night and was lethargic in
the morning.
But Raeleigh got up at six that morning. The monitoring system was in her room. She also had a
surveillance camera installed in Santiago's room, of course, to check on him at any time. However, she
did not expect Jepherson to stay.
She only thought of it when she woke up. She had intended to turn off the camera in Santiago's room Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
but didn't, believing Jepherson wouldn't always be in there.
As she was changing, the footage in Santiago's room got her stumped for a second; Jepherson was
changing as well. Although his back was facing the camera, she could see him clearly.
Raeleigh blushed then turned her face away.
She could pretend not to see, but what if the same thing happened the next day?
With that, she turned off the monitor in Santiago's room.
During breakfast, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "Did you order someone to install the surveillance
camera in Santiago's room?"
Stumped by his question, the footage earlier flashed across her mind, and she blushed as a result.
"When did you find out?"
"When I came out."
Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. "I turned it off last night."
Holding his bowl, he fixed his gaze at her, his eyes unfathomable.
Raeleigh lowered her head and continued eating, not saying a word nor looking at him, like two
strangers, not giving him even a second look.
Jepherson ate, holding his bowl, but he didn't eat much, looking at Raeleigh, waiting for her to look up.
But she never did.
After eating, she left the dining table and sat aside, waiting for him to go to work.
But he came looking for her after breakfast.
"Come with me," Jepherson ordered Raeleigh as if she was a servant. She turned to look at him.
Although she was uncomfortable, she still followed him.
Jepherson walked toward Raeleigh's room, and he entered before she even reached the door.
After entering, she saw him watching the monitor. She had a hunch that he was looking for the camera
in Santiago's room.
Raeleigh stood aside, unbothered that he came to check.
It wasn't out of character for him to do something like this.
But as he watched, he turned on the camera in Santiago's room and rewinded it.
"What are you doing?"
Raeleigh didn't think at all that he would look through the recording.
"What are you afraid of? If you switched it off last night, why would you feel guilty?" Jepherson said
with a razor tongue.
With that, he deleted the recording of him changing, and Raeleigh regretted not deleting it sooner, lest
he found it.
Jepherson then turned off the camera in his room and searched Raeleigh's room. When he didn't see
any cameras, he glanced at Raeleigh before striding out.
Raeleigh stood in the room, feeling awkward. It felt as if she was trying to peep at Jepherson but failed,
worse even got caught.
Raeleigh wanted to explain but stopped in her tracks when she turned around. She had planned for
Xanthus to stay by Santiago's side.
Xanthus would never change in the room like Jepherson.
Forget it. He could think however he liked.
Somehow word got out that the brothers of the Harvey family were seeing the same woman. It was as
if someone was afraid the whole of Capital City didn't know about it.
Raeleigh didn't know at first. After all, no one from the Harvey family dared mention it.
According to Xanthus, he went out and bought some magazines. All of them covered the story.
They also found out Raeleigh had been in prison. She became the talk of the town, and her phone
number had been spread around too, leading her to receive countless calls from strangers.
At first, Raeleigh thought they were prank calls, so she ignored them. But after seeing the magazines
Xanthus brought back, she answered one of the calls. A series of a man's deep laughter came from the
other end at first, then he spoke some obscenities, asking Raeleigh out for a so-called date.
But she merely hung up without saying a word. She didn't need to guess to know the other calls were
the same.
Now she knew what kind of woman people thought she was.
In actuality, Raeleigh didn't care what people thought of her, nor was she bothered that they had
mistaken her identity.
But how did people know about what happened in the Green House?
Logically speaking, the mastermind was already dead. How could anyone know what had happened?
Raeleigh pondered for a while and finally understood one thing. It was highly likely Yanora was not the
only one behind it. There must be someone else behind the scene, and this person was the one who
wanted her there.
But who?
Raeleigh gawked at the ruler in her hand. Her vision seemed to be overlapping on the ruler, again and
again, leading to a blurry shadow.
She raised the ruler up and scrutinized it. For a moment, she was stumped.
What was wrong with her eyes?
