Chapter 1317 Dark and Windy
With one foot in front of the other, Calvin paced out of the stairs and pushed open a door, his gaze cold. "What happened to Santiago?" Slowly, Aron put down his cell phone. "He was attacked when he went back. Now, he's in the emergency room. Mr. Jepherson is already there." "What are you doing then?"
"Mr. Jepherson wants Elliot to come over and protect you, Mr. Harvey, as well as Madam Belle."
Aron had not expected Calvin to pick up on any signs. Aron did not dare to ask, but Calvin knew him well enough.
And he knew immediately this involved Santiago.
"Go back and protect Belle. I'll go and see Santiago." As Calvin was about to leave, Aron said immediately, "Allow me to go with you, Mr. Harvey." "No. I would love to see if there's anyone who has the guts to lay a finger on me." Calvin stepped out, his expression the definition of spine-chilling.
It had been ages since Aron had seen Calvin act like this, so he thought better than to tag along.
If a baby tiger was injured, the elder tiger would bite whoever was responsible for it.
Aron immediately went back to guard Belle, following Calvin's instructions. As for Calvin, he went to visit his son.
Jepherson set down his cell phone and immediately rushed to the emergency room. When he arrived at the door of the emergency room, he saw Santiago on a bed being pushed into the operating theater. "What's going on?"
Entering through the door, Jepherson asked. Raeleigh was dumbfounded. She had been crying as though the floodgates to her tear ducts had opened. No matter how calm she usually was, she panicked uncharacteristically during that sudden change, her words failing her.
Jepherson looked at Santiago. Apart from his face, his body was soaked in blood.
Raeleigh heard Santiago's teeth chattering.
"Where is the doctor?"
At that moment, Jepherson was like a male lion waiting to pounce. He calmed down and looked around.
"I am his doctor," the doctor answered with some trepidation. Jepherson had already walked towards Santiago. He bowed his head and held Santiago's hand. "If anything happens to my brother, then no one can live."
The doctors traded glances. "We'll do our best."
Under the doctors' supervision, Jepherson accompanied Santiago to the operating theater. Initially, Raeleigh also wanted to go along. However, when she arrived at the door of the operating theater, Jepherson suddenly said, "It's not gonna be pretty. Don't go in. Jacky, help me look after Raeleigh."
Jacky walked up to the front. It was indeed a squeamish scene. Normal men wouldn't be able to withstand it. If a woman went in, then she might suddenly scream and lose all control of her emotions. Jacky took Raeleigh to one side and held the back of her head, allowing Raeleigh to quiet down. The door of the operating theater was closed. Raeleigh freed herself and grabbed Jacky's clothes. "He will be fine, won't he?"
Jacky nodded. "He will."
Raeleigh left Jacky's side. She sat down on the other side and became exceptionally quiet.
No one knew what Raeleigh was thinking, but her face was pale and her eyes were blank. She hated those who hurt Santiago.
When Calvin arrived, Jacky was leaning against one side. When he saw Calvin, he got up and stood up straight. "Mr. Harvey."
Calvin calmly raised his hand and gestured for Jacky to pay him no attention. He looked at Raeleigh sitting on the chair and glanced at the operating theater.
He sat beside Raeleigh and waited.
Time trickled by slowly. Little by little, Belle was puzzled as to why he had gone to the washroom for such a long time, so she picked up her phone and called Calvin. "Calvin, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"I'm talking to Jacky. He's downstairs."
"Is that so?" Belle still didn't buy it. Calvin looked at Jacky. "My wife doesn't believe that I'm talking to you."
Jacky walked towards Calvin and took the phone. He said, "Mrs. Harvey, I'm here to talk to Santiago."
"Oh, is my husband making things difficult for you?" Belle found it strange. With Calvin's personality, how could he have anything to say to Jacky?
"Nah, not at all. I just met a few people who blocked my way and Mr. Harvey was just teaching me some tactics."
Belle thought for a moment and found that most men were a little arrogant.
"Then tell your him to come back Tristany."
"Okay, Mrs. Harvey."
Belle hung up first, in case she would be laughed at by the younger generation, as if she couldn't live without her husband.
After hanging up the phone, Jacky handed the phone over to Calvin while he continued to sit there. Time continued to pass slowly. After an hour, the operation room light flickered off. Jacky stood up and walked to the door. Raeleigh and Calvin looked over to the door, which then opened and the doctor came out.
Calvin stood up and Raeleigh also walked over.
Raeleigh panicked when Jepherson did not come out. "Where is Jeperson?"
A doctor came out and said, "The knives the attackers used are very thin. Although the patient is covered in blood, there aren't a lot of wounds. The main problem is that he has lost too much blood, so someone needs to give him a blood transfusion. Mr. Jepherson is the brother of Mr. Santiago. He is donating blood to him and will come out soon. The operation was very successful. You may rest assured." Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the unconscious Santiago and asked the doctor, "Will he have scars on his body?"
"Not to worry. We have dealt with it, there won't be any scars." The doctor guaranteed and Raeleigh nodded. "Thank you."
"Not at all. We're just doing our job, Mr. Harvey."
Calvin nodded. "Send him to a ward first."
"Yes, Mr. Harvey."
Jacky followed Santiago while Calvin and Raeleigh stayed behind and waited for Jepherson to come out.
After a while, Jepherson was pushed out of the operating room, in a wheelchair.
Jepherson still had his eyes opened. He was very clear-headed, even though he had lost a large amount of blood.
"Dad." He was not too surprised to see Raeleigh and Calvin. When he went downstairs, Calvin had already seen him. The reason he called was to hide it from Belle.
For his family, his younger brother was the golden child. Although the four of them didn't show it, they all knew who the favorite was.
Especially for his mother, she had always lavished her maternal love on his little brother. If she knew that something terrible happened to his little brother, then she would have broken down and gone crazy. "Good job, son." Calvin patted Jepherson on his shoulder. Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and then looked at Calvin. "Leave it to us. To stand on our own two feet, we have to get up from where we fell. If we really can't get up, then we'll ask for your help."
Calvin thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back and staying with your mother. I'll tell her that you are all dealing with something. You and Santiago are in the same room. Raeleigh will take care of both of you."
"Yes, Dad."
Jepherson raised his hand and held Raeleigh's hand. Calvin then left, watching the two young adults leave.
Turning around, Calvin came out of the operating theater, walked out through the door, and looked around in the dark and windy area.
