Chapter 1315 Que Será, Será
When Raeleigh caught sight of Stuart's recumbent pose inside, she almost could not recognize him. It took her a few minutes to come back to her senses.
Belle and Calvin also sat outside, but neither of them said anything. Belle patted the seat next to her and gestured for Raeleigh to take it. Xanthus had changed his clothes and washed up. He stood by the side and looked at the time, saying, "It's almost time. My team should be here. I'll go and lead them here."
"I'll go with you." Santiago stood up. He brushed the invisible lint off his clothes and followed Xanthus out to receive the guests.
A glance at Raeleigh and Jepherson realized that she was already de-bandaged. He looked at Stuart.
"Go in and take a look at Stuart for me," Jepherson said. Raeleigh froze subconsciously and thought, "For 'me'?"
Belle fumbled for an explanation. "Your brother said that Stuart might have something to say to Jerry, which is why he fought to stay alive. If he saw Jerry now, then he might stop holding on to his life, because he had no more reason to."
Raeleigh nodded. "I see."
In fact, Raeleigh also wanted to go in and see for herself. She got up and changed into a medical gown. She went to the door of the ward, which Hadrian then opened. She walked in.
Stuart was seriously injured, at least in Raeleigh's eyes.
After sitting down and chatting with Stuart for a while, she came out.
Jepherson looked at Raeleigh for a while. "Go get changed."
Raeleigh was injured as well. Her wound would be infected if she went in at that time. Jepherson was also worried about her safety.
When Raeleigh went to change clothes, Xanthus had already come back, then along with his team. Calvin had seen some of them before. It could be said that this team had assembled a handful of the elites of the medical field.
Calvin stood up in tandem with the arrival of these people. He felt even more that Xanthus was not as simple as he looked. He was not just a doctor.
A doctor, even an expert with a wide range of friends, could not do this.
"Let me introduce you. This is the president of the Harvey Group, Mr. Calvin, and this is his wife, Ms. Belle."
"This is the father of the patient, Mr. Aron, and this is my friend, the VP of the Harvey Group, Jepherson."
Xanthus introduced them in succession, but the doctors in front just smiled and greeted them. Until they saw Raeleigh there, only then did they laugh and joke. It seemed that these people had a good relationship with Xanthus.
Raeleigh spoke to them politely. One of the doctors had a very good impression of Raeleigh. He spoke to her in English with a Hispanic accent. "I am sorry but my English is not good. I just want to say that you are very beautiful. If you don't mind, can we be friends?"
A smile rose to Raeleigh's lips. "Sorry, but I already have a friend."
Raeleigh took a look at Xanthus, who told her not to mind the doctor. With pleasantries exchanged, they went to perform a preliminary assessment on Stuart.
They quickly changed their clothes and began to discuss after they went in, while the others stayed outside.
Everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting for Xanthus to come out with his team.
"How is it going?"
Raeleigh and Belle stepped forward to ask Xanthus, while the other four men were waiting for them calmly. Raeleigh learnt firsthand that a man's pride meant the world to them. "According to what I said, we have to draft an operation plan to ensure that there is no problem with the operation. We'll start as soon as possible."
Xanthus looked at Jepherson and said, "We will make full use of our strength and resources."
Jepherson nodded. While they were talking about this matter, someone came to the corridor.
Everyone turned to see the person who was responsible for taking care of Stella.
"Mr. Harvey, Mrs. Harvey, Mr. Jepherson, Mr. Santiago, Mr. Aron."
After greeting them, she turned to look at Jepherson and said, "Miss Doyle wants to see you, sir. She cried badly and refused to eat." Jepherson said, "Okay. I'll go now."
"Alright."
They turned back. Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and walked away. Raeleigh didn't think too much when she saw Jepherson leaving. The most urgent thing was Stuart and his surgery. She had no time to accommodate other things.
However, Belle walked to Raeleigh's side, patted her shoulder, and said, "Raeleigh, don't worry. It's a critical period. We can't ignore Stella. You must understand that Jerry only cares about you." Raeleigh wore a smile but she said nothing.
Still worried, Belle could not help glancing at her husband.
This matter seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. Her mother-in-law had been grounded by her son. If her husband did not care about it, then it would not be good if the news spread out. The Doyle family was no ordinary family either. What should she do?
"Raeleigh, stay with Santiago. I can't be distracted for the next few moments, so don't leave." Xanthus was worried about Raeleigh, so he repeatedly warned her.
But no one had expected Raeleigh almost to have an accident when she went back after she agreed.
On the other side of the hospital, Xanthus could not go back. Jepherson went to visit Stella. Raeleigh followed Santiago back to the ward. As soon as they left, they were stopped by several people. It was getting late. It was seven o'clock when Raeleigh and the others returned. They just had dinner.
The sky at seven o'clock in the winter was so dark that one couldn't see anything. Even hospitals were not spared from looking dim.
Under this dim light, there were five or six people in front of Santiago and Raeleigh.
They were all dressed in black, standing opposite them, waiting for them. Santiago subconsciously stopped short as he observed them.
"Call my brother."
Instinctively Santiago knew that these people were not ordinary people, so he asked Raeleigh to call Jepherson right away. However, they had closed in on them when she was on the phone. Santiago protected Raeleigh and started fighting.
In a panic, Raeleigh's cell phone dropped to the ground. Santiago stood in front of those several people and said, "Stay behind me."
Raeleigh kept nodding her head, but the two of them were cornered. The other side was really powerful, forcing the two of them to retreat to a dark corner.
Behind them was a wall. Santiago and Raeleigh were blocked by the wall.
They laughed. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Santiago f*cking Harvey."
Santiago frowned but didn't say anything. He just held Raeleigh's hand tightly.
"I'll give you a chance. Today, only one of you can walk away. I can let go of one of you." The man was very arrogant, gripping an iron rod in his hand. He hit Santiago as soon as he saw him. There was a small, retractable knife attached to the iron rod. They were five people who had received special training. Santiago still needed to protect Raeleigh. Otherwise, he would not have been at a disadvantage. "Come at me with whatever means you have. We'll die together. Tell whoever is behind this, he won't live even if I die. He'll pay with his life sooner or later."
Raeleigh took hold of Santiago's hands. "Santiago, you should go first."
Santiago laughed. "Like h*ll I'll abandon you. You die, I die!"
Raeleigh paused for a moment as she eyed those people slowly. Entwining her hand with Santiago's, she thought, que será, será! Whatever will be, will be!
