Chapter 1768
As soon as the plane landed, Raeleigh followed Jacky back to Waverly Village and straight to the hospital to visit Jared.
Jared was recovering nicely. Raeleigh stood outside and watched him.
Harvey briefly updated Raeleigh on Jared's current condition. When she heard that Jared was doing well, she left feeling a burden lifted.
After coming out of the hospital, Jacky obtained the test results of the ointment that Crevor had given to Raeleigh.
"The ointment is made of a natural substance, which can effectively improve the blood circulation and promote the recovery of bones. There's no trace of any harmful substance. It's all natural and it will not cause any chemical reaction in your stomach even if you mixed it with foods."
Raeleigh frowned and took the box over. Then, she took a look at her left hand and said, "Is he really helping me?"
"I'm not sure either. After all, we all know that Crevor does not have any good intentions."
Raeleigh raised her head. "This is the first time I've heard you say this about a person. Are you only saying this because he is your rival?" "I'm just stating the truth."
"Alright then."
Raeleigh put away the ointment before following Jacky back to the house. Jacky sent someone to protect Raeleigh. That way, Raeleigh did not have to worry about anything.
Before he left, Jacky said to Raeleigh, "Harvey will stay to protect you. You should use this time to get some rest. I will be very busy during this period. It's almost the new year."This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I know."
After that, Jacky left. Raeleigh stood and watched as he walked out of Waverly Village.
After Jacky left, Raeleigh turned around and returned home. It was very quiet in the first few days. Harvey was the only one that frequented the area. He would bring Raeleigh some supplies from time to time, while the food that Raeleigh ate most of the time was from the hotel. Once she receives her food, she would put it in the microwave to heat it up. After eating, Harvey would wash the dishes and bring them back to the kitchen.
Harvey was basically like Raeleigh's caretaker. He was always on call and was in charge of Raeleigh's daily life.
A week passed by quickly and Raeleigh's hands had recovered. When Harvey came, Raeleigh was just about to move her hands, but was stopped by Harvey, "Raeleigh."
Raeleigh looked at Harvey, who released her hands, "Raeleigh, you should always guard against the harm others might do to you."
Raeleigh frowned slightly. "What?"
Harvey took Raeleigh's hand and sat down. "Raeleigh, are you able to move your hands now?"
Raeleigh nodded. "Yes."
Harvey said, "These ointments does the job and the effect is visible, but there is a drug in it which has an acrid, bitter taste and cooling properties. It's called Borneol."
"Borneol?"
"Yes, it tones the heart and improves circulation. It seems that people who have a heart attack will feel comfortable after using it."
"Raeleigh, have you ever thought that if this drug only helps to improve circulation and you're suddenly able to move your hand, what are the effects?"
Raeleigh looked at Harvey for a long time and said, "Thank you. I was careless. I never thought of it that way."
Harvey breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you realised it. I'm going to make some food for you."
Harvey got up to cook, while Raeleigh sat on the sofa and thought about Crevor...
"Raeleigh, Jepherson has been waiting outside for a few days. Aren't you going to see him?"
Harvey asked while they were eating. Raeleigh looked at the calendar and said, "No."
"Jared was discharged from the hospital today and now, he is nowhere to be seen," Harvey said. Raeleigh raised her head to look at Harvey. "He disappeared? He's fully recovered?"
"Yes. He's able to walk on his own, but he still needs to recuperate at home. Jacky asked wants me to take care of him, but he refused."
Raeleigh stopped eating. "I see."
After lunch, Harvey left. Raeleigh stood outside and looked around. She could not see Jared, so she decided to go out and look for him. It was cold outside and it took her more than two hours before she finally found him.
In fact, Jared did not wander off too far. Raeleigh found him nearby her house. When Raeleigh saw him, she walked over and stopped in front of him. She placed her arms around him and helped him into the house.
Jared briefly glanced over at Raeleigh, not saying a word. Raeleigh lay him down on the bed in the room downstairs because his legs were injured. It was inconvenient for him to climb up and down the stairs.
After Jared lay down, Raeleigh quickly gave Harvey a call. It was not long before Harvey arrived.
When Harvey saw Jared, he was surprised. "How did you end up here? This place is surrounded by their people."
Jared did not respond and his face turned red. Raeleigh said to Harvey, "Can you call the hospital and ask if Jared is allowed to take a bath?"
Harvey did as he was told and immediately called the hospital. After making sure that it was fine for Jared to take a bath, he then relayed the message to Raeleigh.
"He can take a bath."
Raeleigh looked at Harvey. "Can you please help him to take a bath and also ask someone to get him some clothes?"
"Alright."
Harvey took Jared to take a bath. Soon, Harvey's people brought some clothes over for Jared. Raeleigh put the clothes away and was about to head home when a Richards family called pulled up outside. Raeleigh opened the door and watched as Stuart came out from the car.
Raeleigh waited for a while as Stuart came out of the car.
"Miss Raeleigh."
"Would you like to come in?"
Raeleigh asked Stuart, who shook his head, "No, thank you. How's Jared?"
"He's fine. He's still alive."
Raeleigh said casually. She did not sound angry at all.
Stuart was stunned for a moment and then said, "Mr. Jepherson asked me to drop by. Madam Marissa and Trevor have returned to the Richards Group Manor. The new year is just around the corner and Mr. Jepherson doesn't want them to spend new years alone."
"Mr. Jepherson moved out of the manor and is staying in the hotel. He asked me to come and check on your hand."
"You should head home."
Raeleigh closed the door and went back into the house. Then, she brought the clothes over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. She opened the door and placed the clothes by the door. Then, she closed the door and went into the kitchen to make some ginger soup.
Ginger soup were good for keeping warm. Raeleigh did not eat much. She ate one or two slices of ginger, but she placed a large slice into Jared's bowl.
When Jared emerged from the bathroom, Raeleigh immediately asked Harvey to bring the bowl of soup over to Jared and told them to drink it while it's hot.
After that, Jared lay down on the bed. Raeleigh asked Harvey to light a fire in the fireplace and closed the door. Soon, the room felt nice and toasty.
Raeleigh felt relieved when she saw that Jared started sweating.
"Harvey, why don't you stay here tonight and take care of Jared? Do you have any plans for tomorrow morning?"
"No, I don't."
"Alright then, thanks for the trouble."
Raeleigh went out of the room and sat down. Jared fell asleep. Harvey went back to Jared's room and sat down. The door was closed. Raeleigh sat on the sofa and turned on the television.
However, Raeleigh was lost in her own thoughts and did not pay attention to what was on the TV.
Everything went on as if it was just a dream.
