Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1807

"Uncle, you want to hurt my Dad?" Shaney straightened up from Austin's back and blinked her big eyes up at him. He tilted his head back to look at her, "If I do, what would you do?"

"Then I'll be angry. I only have one Dad."

"What about me?"

"I don't want to lose Uncle either." Shaney murmured into Austin's shoulder. Raeleigh shook her head. This child of hers had so many tricks up her sleeves, that sometimes she felt that even she was being cheated by her.

Moreover, she thought with each passing day that her child had become more like Santiago.

Shaney was a girl. If she really had Santiago's temperament, she wouldn't know what to do. How did her child turn out this way?

With that being said, Raeleigh needed to get right down to business.

"I'll talk to him and tell him to yield to you, okay?" Raeleigh persuaded. Austin smiled drily, an unperturbed look on his handsome face, "What I want is his frustration. If I let you talk to him, it would undoubtedly give him a chance to extricate himself from the situation and that's not what I want to happen. We're having raviolis later, come back after you've washed your hands."

Austin turned and left with Shaney on his back still. Raeleigh stood in the courtyard for a while. On such a cold day, she heard that Jepherson stood there for all this time and never left. He just stood there like that...

Raeleigh went to the watchtower. She looked down from that vantage point. There were a lot of people around, including Jacky and Zorion. While she was busy looking down at the crowd, Jared immediately notified Jepherson that Raeleigh was up above.

Jepherson took out his binoculars and pointed it in Raeleigh's direction. She was still in her clothes that she had originally worn, her gaze soft and calm as she looked back at him.

When she saw that Jepherson was looking at her, she lightly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Jepherson frowned and called Raeleigh on his phone. He pointed towards Raeleigh, a non-verbal signal for her to pick up the call. It was only then she took out her phone and accepted it.

"Come down. Bring my daughter out together."

Jepherson couldn't hide the anger in his voice. Raeleigh sighed, "Why are you doing this? You obviously know that this is a futile endeavour. If Austin truly wanted to release the children, why would he need to imprison us here?"

"If he doesn't release you both, I won't leave, I absolutely won't give up." Jepherson then turned on his heel and marched towards his car. He pointed at the person inside with an order for them to get out. The driver immediately scrambled out. Raeleigh felt that something wasn't right. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"He thought I was afraid of him. Then I'll let him see whether I, Jepherson Richards, am really afraid of him." While he spoke, he reached the front of his car. With a walkie-talkie in his other hand, he communicated through it to the people around the area. Soon, the cars were driven away and a passage was opened up.

Jepherson sat inside the car, one hand used to make a call, while the other one was used to control the car. He was very composed.

Raeleigh shouted into the phone at once, "Jepherson, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

"He thought that just because he wouldn't let me in that I won't go in. He can't make that decision for me. I'm going in now, if he has the ability, then just gun me down."

Jepherson revved up the engine a few times with the accelerator. He then reversed the car to get some distance. Jacky's sleep was disturbed by all the noise. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Jepherson's car, worth millions of dollars, crashing against the prison's doors with a loud bang!

"Jepherson, Jepherson..." Raeleigh got such a fright that she turned to head down the stairs and to the doors, only to be instantly held back by a few people.

Zorion ordered people to check on Jepherson. By the time they ran up, he was already unconscious, with a gash across his head and blood all over his face.

"Jepherson...Jepherson..." Zorion shouted a few times, but Jepherson did not respond. He hurriedly tried to open the car door. At this moment, Jacky came over from his own car just as Zorion had dragged the person out, carried him down to the ground and gave a brief scan over his injuries.

"First- aid!" Jacky yelled immediately after a glance. Zorion got up and called for someone at once to help carry Jepherson into another car, which then sent him straight to the hospital.

The outside of the Green House prison was initially full of people. However, due to Jepherson's unexpected move, everyone had left the premises.

The only thing left behind was the demolished car at the prison's entrance.

Austin received the report and went to the door to check it out. The car had crashed to the point of being just a pile of metal heap. If the person was still alive under such circumstances, it's hard to imagine how long Jepherson's life span was.

Raeleigh had been stunned on the spot. She stood beside Austin and cried helplessly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

When Shaney saw her mother cry, she also couldn't help but cry too, especially when she heard that her father got injured. She cried even louder at that. Raeleigh carried her child into her arms as she planned to leave, but Austin had someone hold them back.

"What are you doing?" Raeleigh shouted at Austin anxiously. He walked towards her and took hold of Shaney. "I'll go with you."

Raeleigh froze for a moment, but still followed Austin to the hospital.

The entire Capital City was in turmoil over the fact that something had happened to Jepherson. Some said that he got into a mishap due to drunk driving. Some said that he had been set up. Many theories that could be thought up were spread everywhere.

Zorion and Jacky were both outside the

emergency room. Deanna sat to the side without a single reaction. She wasn't as anxious as Rossie was.

Rossie immediately asked when she arrived, "What's going on? He was fine just earlier, how did he end up like this?"

Deanna pretended not to hear. She leaned to the side. She felt that even if everyone in the world died, Jepherson would not die. After all, Jepherson was annoyingly arrogant. For so many years, there was only one person that Deanna had always thought would stay alive, and that was Jepherson.

Since Deanna wouldn't speak, Rossie had to go to Zorion instead. He gave her a blow by blow account of what happened and in turn Rossie grew less anxious.

After they sat around a while, the surgery was over. The doctor pushed the patient out and told Jacky and the others that the patient was still in a critical stage and would be sent to the ICU.

Raeleigh and the rest came just as the doctors had sent him in. When Raeleigh saw Jepherson, it was through a glass window. He laid in bed inside with his head all wrapped up and an oxygen mask attached to his face. Raeleigh felt distressed when she saw the state he's in.

Raeleigh picked her daughter up, pointed to where Jepherson was laid out, "That's Dad."

Shaney sniffled, "Dad is so pitiful. He got so mad at me and Mum until he fell ill."

Although Raeleigh felt aggrieved towards Jepherson, she also didn't want to see him end up this way.

She looked at Austin who stood with his hands clasped behind his back. "Is this the outcome that you wanted?"

Austin stood there for a moment before he looked at Raeleigh, "What would you do if it were you?"

Raeleigh suddenly went quiet. She stared into Austin's eyes and then shook her head. "You won't think that way."

"You know that's not how I think, then why did you ask me?" He turned back around to observe Jepherson inside. "His only purpose in doing what he did is to have me send you and your daughter back.

Jepherson's courage went beyond my expectations, but I really don't like this person. He can't understand till' now that there isn't a need to be so calculative when you love someone. Raeleigh...to hand you over to him won't make me feel at ease. Jepherson is a deep person, you won't be able to control him."

Raeleigh quietly stared through the glass, "But sometimes I don't want to control him. I'm happy just because he's fine."

"Then that requires him to be completely devoted to you. He has yet to fully comprehend that love isn't something to be possessed but to have and to love someone is to be ready to suffer major losses for both sides."
