Chapter 17 Call Her 

Upon hearing this, Raylee let out a selfdeprecating chuckle 

Mr. Sutherland, you’re being too serious. How could I dare to hit or scold you? I would only do that if I had a death wish” 

all me Mr. Sutherland. If you don’t want to address me as Caz like before, you can just call me Casimir.There was a irritation in Casimir’s tone

Raylee could sense his intention to reconcile, but she didn’t respond to him

What was the point of extending an olive branch after pushing her into the abyss of 

She had exhausted all her strength and luck to make it out of the prison, a place akin to the gar 

of hell

Even though her spirit and body were already marred by countless wounds, she wouldn’t easily forgive those who caused this harm to be fall her in the first place

That was not just selfdegrading; it was downright disrespectful toward herself

Finding his humility met with no response, irritation surged within Casimir. He clenched his fists and stepped on the accelerator, speeding forward

He even went over the speed limit

Raylee showed not a trace of fear. Her eyes remained unwavering as they took in the rapidly changing scenery outside the window 

By then, it was already dusk. The evening glow streamed in, seemingly forming a painting within the car

And Raylee was none other than the main character of that oil painting

She was entranced as she gazed outside, her eyes vacant and distant. It was as though the world had forsaken her and her soul had flown elsewhere, leaving behind nothing but an empty shell

As le gazed upon this sight, the inexplicable restlessness that haid consumed Casimir completely dissipated, replaced instead. by a profound sense of heartache

Had she spent the past four years in the same manner? Sitting before the iron bars, gazing at the free world outside, yet feeling despondent due to the heavy shackles she couldn’t shake off

Back then, she must have felt so helpless, so desperate… 

Casimir slowed down the car, allowing the silence to linger for a moment longer before he finally spoke

The day after tomorrow is my birthday. Will you come?” 

Rayler furrowed her brows, simply listening as Casimir continued to speak

You’ve been absent for four years now. You used to be there for my birthday every year. Promise me you won’t miss it this year, okay?” 

Kaylee responded noncommittedly, I’ll go if I have the time.” 

Great! Thank you, RayRay 

Casimir was so elated that even the way he addressed Kaylee became more affectionate. A smile was unmistakably tugging at the corners of his mouth

How could Kaylee miss his evident joy?. 

It just felt incredibly ironic

effort to craft the gifts she would present to him

Finished 

Yet, he failed to appreciate it. Every time, he would merely glance at the gift before tossing it into the pile of presents

Was he fantasizing that, even after enduring four years of prison, she would still treat him with such sincerity

It was utterly ridiculous

Casimir was still enthusiastically describing the preparations for his birthday party

I’ve arranged for Moonhaze Band to perform. The lead singer, Lilith Fallon, is your favorite singer, right? I’ve also set up a photo opportunity for you two. Are you excited?” 

Raylee remained silent

Excited! Now that was a preposterous notion

After enduring four years of torment, the joy and beauty she once found in people and things no longer held any interest for 

her

Half an hour later

The car arrived at the hospital’s inpatient building 

When Raylee got out of the car, Casimir parked it and accompanied her upstairs

I’ll just visit Old Mrs. Goodridge briefly before leaving 

Raylee didn’t object, and the two of them entered the hospital room, one after the other

At that time, Vera was as frantic as a cat on a hot tin roof because she couldn’t get in touch with Raylee

No matter how much the caregivers and nurses tried to coax her, it simply didn’t work

Upon seeing Raylee arrive, she finally settled down slightly

My darling RayRay, why couldn’t I reach you on your phone? I was absolutely frantic at being unable to reach you. I heard. you’ve been working at a bar. With your health condition, how could you possibly take on such strenuous work in a place like 

that 

Raylee hurried over to soothe her. I’m not going to work. I’ll be with you here in the hospital tonight” 

at 

That’s good, that’s good. I’ll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. After that, you can come live with me a Goodridge Manor 

All right, Grandma, from now on, I’ll stay with you in Goodridge Manor.” 

Like a child, Raylee playfully threw herself into Vera’s embrace and snuggled up to her

Only when she was with Vera could she truly be herself

Casimir’s dark eyes were fixed intently on Raylee

It was as if time had rewound back to four years ago

Raylee once used to affectionately cling to him in the same way

Heaven knew how much he missed her from those days… 

He had insisted on coming up with her, all so he could steal a few more glances at this side of her

Oh Casimir is here too? Please, have a seat. You’re such a devoted young man, always coming to visit this old lady. I feel at ease with you as my grandsoninlaw” 

Chapter 17 Call Her 

Hello, Old Mrs. Goodridge,” Casimit greeted politely 

How odd Why didn’t you come with Waverly, but instead, you came with RayRay!” 

This awkward question prompted a bitter smile from Casimir 

I ran into Kaylee on the road, so I brought her up here 

Finished 

Was it really just a coincidence? Vera’s expression turned peculiar. I saw it earlier. There was a sparkle in your eyes when you looked at RayRay. That’s not a good sign, you know. He honest with me, do you still have feelings for RayRay?” 

Just as Casimir was about to respond. Raylee beat him to it.. 

Grandma, Casimir never had any feelings for me. Where is this supposed affection coming from?” 

Vera nodded, her expression filled with profound meaning as she said. That makes sense. In the past, you were always revolving around Casimir, but he didn’t even spare you a glance. I must have been overthinking” 

Once she finished speaking, she gently stroked Raylee’s head, expressing her affection with a tender voice. I will definitely find you a better man, one superior to this brat.” 

Immediately, Casimir froze

Raylee nodded with a smile, exclaiming in agreement. However, once she turned around, her expression hardened as she kicked Casimir out

Mr. Sutherland, if there’s nothing else, you may leave now. Otherwise, not only would Grandma misunderstand us, but if the Goodridge family were to come, they too would get the wrong idea about us.” 

Reluctantly, Casimir had to leave. As he stepped out of the room, he couldn’t help but cast a longing glance back at Raylee

He yearned to become a part of her world, but she was desperately trying to escape from his

It’s okay. As long as she attends my birthday party, that means she still hasn’t completely given up on our past relationship. In that case, there’s definitely a way for us to mend our strained relationship

Two days later 

The Sutherland family had thrown a grand birthday party for Casimir

As one of the four great families within Jexburgh, the Sutherland family held a position of significant influence

Nearly all of the high society from Jexburgh had gathered, each of them extending their birthday wishes to Casimir 

Casimir was busy attending to the guests. It wasn’t until the Goodridge family arrived that he began to look around. He glanced left and right, but he couldn’t spot any sign of Raylee

Dressed in a luxurious gown, Waverly produced a beautifully wrapped gift, her body almost pressing against his

Happy birthday, Caz,” she said. I specifically sought out a foreign designer to craft this birthday gift for you. I really hope you like it.” 

Casimir accepted the gift, but his reaction wasn’t one of surprise. Instead, he furrowed his brows and asked, Where’s Raylee?” 

As soon as these words were spoken, Waverly’s expression drastically changed

Jealousy marred her beautifully madeup face, twisting it beyond recognition

Samuel knew what Casimir was up to. His gaze hardened as he said tersely, She’s at the hospital with Grandma and can’t 

come 

But she promised me!Casimir insisted, his voice tinged with anger. Call her!”
