Raeleigh sat outside the ward. Deanna had undergone the examination, and she appeared to be alright. It was just that she had been weeping while holding Zorion's hand since she woke up, as if she had suffered a great grievance and death was beckoning to her.
It wasn't until then that Raeleigh found out Zorion was accompanied by a girl named Rossie.
She looked pretty and elegant in her dress. She just sat there quietly without saying a word or looking at anyone. Her bright, big eyes were like the stars and the moon, twinkling with a unique charm.
While Zorion was keeping Deanna company in the ward, Rossie had been sitting outside. She neither moved, nor did she look around.
Raeleigh observed her for a while, discovering that her attire was pretty modest. She had wrapped her neck with a red silk scarf.
In the past, Raeleigh hadn't understood why some people would cover their necks completely. But at that time, Raeleigh recalled something.
Raeleigh frowned, realizing the reason Zorion had been keeping a low profile recently. There was such a person beside him.
Jephrson sat beside Raeleigh. He didn't seem to care much about anyone, including the woman in front of him, Rossie.
He fixed his nonchalant eyes on one side. He, too, was waiting to know about Deanna's condition.
Santiago stood aside with his hands in his pockets. He had also been waiting for the news.
Jacky, on the other hand, was also standing at the doorway. He came in with Jepherson, which astonished Raeleigh. Zorion's men were not afraid of Santiago. Instead, they were afraid of Jepherson.
At that moment, the most anxious person was none other than Jacky. Although there was only a door between Deanna and him, it made him feel as though they were a world apart.
Raeleigh gazed at him. Although he didn't show anything, Raeleigh could see from Jacky's eyes, which were fixed at the door of the ward, that his whole heart was with Deanna.
...
The door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse walked in. It was time to give her a new dose of medicine.
Jacky stood up and walked towards the door. He went inside successfully without being stopped by anybody. Raeleigh was rather surprised to see that.
The nurse was bewildered when she turned her head to find that a man was entering the ward with her. After that, she blushed as she gazed at Jacky. She thought, "What a handsome man! What happened today? Why are hotties making an appearance here in the hospital?"
Jacky acted as if he didn't see the nurse before him. After going into the ward, he headed straight for Deanna, who was sobbing. He stopped, extending his hand to touch Deanna's tear-stained face.
The nurse was disappointed to find that he was into another girl.
As soon as Deanna saw Jacky, her large eyes further widened. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. She tugged at Zorion's hand, refusing to let go.
The expression on Jacky's handsome face didn't change much, but he didn't look at Zorion. As he stared at Deanna, she instantly shifted her position to avoid being touched by Jacky.
Jacky spoke with a low voice. "Don't move."
As a result, she sniffled twice and stopped moving.
Zorion raised his head to look at Jacky. "Are you Jacky Scott?"
"I am," Jacky admitted frankly. He swept his dark eyes over Zorion. "Tomorrow, I will pay you a visit for a marriage proposal."
Deanna was flummoxed by his words.
