Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1154 Siblings
Raeleigh sat in the waiting room and waited for Santiago to emerge from the examination room.
The doctor said that Santiago had to be hospitalized to monitor his condition, but he refused. Raeleigh had no choice but to persuade him.
"You're seriously injured. What happens if your wound flares up?" Raeleigh kept on lecturing him. Xanthus couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested, "If you don't want to spend the night in the hospital, then you can stay at my place. I can take care of you. I have all the necessary equipment at home, and I'm quite experienced in this."
"Fine, I'll stay in the hospital," Santiago said all of a sudden. Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh. In fact, he did not have all the necessary equipment at home. He made it all up.
Raeleigh pursed her lips and took a look at Xanthus when she realized that he had used reverse psychology on Santiago.
Raeleigh intended to help Santiago with the hospital admission procedure. However, Xanthus stopped her and said, "You're pregnant. You'd better be careful. Leave it to me. You can stay and accompany him.' With that, Xanthus went to the registration counter to complete the admission procedure while Raeleigh accompanied Santiago to his ward. By the time Xanthus was done, Raeleigh had already fallen asleep. Xanthus was a little worried about Raeleigh, so he gave her an injection. Raeleigh opened her eyes and was about to move when Xanthus said, "Don't move. I'm going to give you an injection for the baby. Don't be afraid."
Raeleigh did not move and waited for Xanthus to give her the injection. Taking his seat, Xanthus said, "You can continue sleeping. I called Novalie and told her that you'd be spending the night at my place. You can give her a call when you wake up."
"Alright." Raeleigh then went back to sleep with ease. After Raeleigh fell asleep, Xanthus turned around and looked at Santiago, who was awake, before leaving the room to get some food. When he came back, he sat at the side, and the two of them did not say a single word to each other. Santiago was not in the mood to explain what had happened, so he gave Cynthia a call.
Cynthia had been waiting for his call ever since he had left. When she heard that he was injured, she could not help bursting into tears.
"Could you please come over to take care of me and Raeleigh? You shouldn't go home. I'll inform Flynt." After hanging up the phone, Santiago called Flynt.
Flynt was surprised when he received Santiago's call. He then asked Santiago, "What's the matter?"
"I don't want to explain what happened earlier, but I don't want you to worry about Cynthia. I'm calling you to give you a warning. I'm going to let this one slide for the sake of Cynthia. If it ever happens again, then there will be trouble."
Then, Santiago hung up the phone. Flynt immediately tried to call him back, but Santiago refused to answer the phone.
At that time, Flynt was already lying in bed. He immediately got up and got off the bed to put his clothes on, walking out of the room. Along the way, he had an unpleasant look on his face because he had no idea what had actually happened and why Santiago had said such a thing. It was obvious he was implying that the Cole family was involved in that matter.
Flynt did not forget what had happened a few days back. As a result of Quirina's matter, Santiago went straight to Meica's residence. Soon after that, Quirina was r*ped. That matter caused a storm, and people eventually found out that Quirina had undergone plastic surgery. The news was spread throughout the entire world. Even though Old Master Brooklyn had decided not to meddle in the affair, it had a great impact. At least right then, his father did not dare to leave the house and could do nothing at home.
Flynt did not have a good impression of his father, but the Harvey family was ruthless. As for Meica, he had no idea how she was doing right then. The last he heard was that she had been hospitalized because she had a stroke. As for Quirina, he hadn't seen her recently. However, if Santiago wanted to cause trouble for Meica and the rest, then he would not have called to give him a heads-up.
Flynt went out of the door and headed straight to Raeleigh's house. However, when he arrived at the place, he realized that no one was home. It was only then he called Cynthia. She informed him that she was currently at the hospital.
"We're in the hospital. I'm fine, but Raeleigh and Santiago are injured. It's late. You don't have to come over. If anything happens, then you can wait until I return home tomorrow."
Cynthia had never thought about the consequences of the matter. At present, the only ones she cared about were Raeleigh and Santiago. So, she hung up the phone and went to the ward. When she saw Santiago lying in bed, injured, she could not stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.
Santiago's expression darkened when he saw Cynthia crying. "What are you crying for? I'm fine."
Cynthia sniffled before walking over to his bedside. However, she could not stop her tears from streaming down her face. Scarlette entered the room, glanced at Santiago, and called out to him. Then, she walked over to Raeleigh's side. Deanna was gone, and right then came Cynthia. Although Scarlette did not hate Cynthia, it seemed like she had an extra person to take care of in the future. Scarlette's head throbbed with pain at the thought of it.
She could barely take care of Raeleigh, and right then, she had to take care of Cynthia?
Raeleigh had fallen asleep but was awakened by the sounds of Cynthia's sobs.
Raeleigh opened her eyes and looked at Cynthia. Then, she sat up straight in bed. Xanthus certainly would not say anything to stop her from doing so, but he was still a little worried. He could not help telling Raeleigh, "You should be careful. You're also injured."
"I know." Raeleigh looked at Xanthus and felt grateful for his care. However, Xanthus felt that it was his responsibility to take care of his sister, so he said, "Don't worry. It's my responsibility to take care of you." Scarlette raised her eyebrows. What was going on?
"Scarlette, I've regarded Dr. Osteen as my brother. Don't get me wrong," Raeleigh hurriedly explained. Scarlette's eyes were wide open, and her face was full of surprise. "Wait, did I hear it correctly?" Raeleigh laughed. "Why would I lie to you?"
"I guess so," Scarlette said.
However, it was still hard for Scarlette to accept it. Siblings? It was hard for her not to misunderstand especially when Xanthus looked at Raeleigh with those loving eyes. Why was he looking at her as if he treated her like a treasure?
"Well, although I'm very grateful to you, Raeleigh's taken," Scarlette reminded him. Xanthus was stunned for a moment and he then said, "I know. I regard her as my sister. There's nothing more. You can be assured of it."
"I'm indeed worried when I see you looking at her." Scarlette was merciless. Although she was afraid of Santiago, she was never afraid of Xanthus.
Scarlette took a few steps towards Xanthus and warned, "You'd better keep your promise, or else you'll be sorry."
Scarlette gave Xanthus a stern look. Xanthus chuckled. "I get it."
Raeleigh tugged at Scarlette's hand and said, "Scarlette, it's not what you think. I promise."
"That's what you think, but others might not have the same thought. Raeleigh, you're a fool. He might be a wolf in sheep's clothing," Scarlette said, not caring about Xanthus' feelings. Raeleigh blushed upon hearing that.
Santiago stared at Scarlette. "If you continue talking, then I'm going to slice your tongue off."
Scarlette hurriedly covered her mouth and stood aside. Only then did the ward become quiet for a while.
Xanthus said, "You should get some rest. You must be tired."
Raeleigh nodded and took a look at Cynthia, who seemed a little upset, before lying down.
Cynthia had stopped crying, and there was finally peace in the ward.
