Getting My Ex-wife Back

After a pause, he reached for his phone and made a phone call. “Something happened to Santiago.”

Once done, Hansen put away his phone and wandered alone in the dark and cold night.

Passing by the place where Raeleigh and the others were ambushed, he accidentally stepped on something. Engulfed in the metallic tang of blood, Hansen paused and looked around. He then bent down and picked up the phone on the ground.

Curious, Hansen took a look and remembered that it was Raeleigh’s. He had seen it in her ward.

The phone was unlocked. Perhaps, due to the sudden attack, she was scared and inadvertently turned on her camera. Hansen played the video and saw that the footage was dark. Occasionally a messy shadow could be seen, but the clear screams and the heavy gasps from Santiago could be heard clearly.

Hansen grasped Raeleigh’s phone tightly and gritted his teeth. He turned off the phone and put it away.

Raeleigh followed Jepherson back to the ward. Santiago was still in a coma.

Raeleigh helped Jepherson lie on the bed. After tidying up, she turned to look at Santiago. She stood in front of him with her head down. Santiago was all in bandages, looking like a mummy.

“When will he wake up?”

Raeleigh couldn’t help but to ask Jacky, who shrugged his shoulders. “I’m not sure about that, but he should be waking up soon.”

Raeleigh said awkwardly, “I need to ask the doctor.”

Raeleigh asked the doctor again, and the doctor told her that Santiago was on anesthesia. The doctor assured them that when the effects wear off, he would be waking up soon.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Jepherson was lying on the other side, watching Raeleigh come in through the door. As soon as she entered, she turned over and looked at Santiago. She didn’t walk up to him, but her heart was always with Santiago.

Jepherson was also very weak then, but she did not express her concerns to him.

Jacky stood in the ward for a while before turning to look at Jepherson. “You okay? Do you need my help?”

“Thank you.”

Jepherson’s mouth twitched. Jacky smiled and said, “I’ll leave the ward but I’ll still stay here for the next two days, in case of any emergency.”

“Raeleigh will be here to take care of you guys.”

After saying that, Jacky turned around and went outside. Raeleigh went to the bathroom after closing the door of the ward. She walked out of the toilet with a basin of water and a towel in it.

The basin was placed by Jepherson’s side. Raeleigh rinsed the towel and twisted it before wiping it on his face.

“Are you feeling weak?” Raeleigh was afraid that Jepherson felt uncomfortable. The doctor said that Santiago had lost too much blood, therefore a lot of blood was needed from Jepherson. After all, he was not willing to let Santiago be transfused with blood from the blood bank.

Raeleigh was just aware of it but yet, she didn’t quite understand why Jepherson was so stubborn. Was he worried that other people’s blood would be tainted and impure?

The blood in the blood bank was clearly safe.

Jepherson was already drained of all energy. He had no strength to speak and could only shake his head.

Raeleigh did not know what he was talking about, but she knew that he was very tired. She wiped his face while saying, “You should rest if you are tired. I will let you know when Santiago wakes up.”

Jepherson didn’t want to sleep, but he was feeling lethargic. He hadn’t had a good rest recently and hadn’t eaten much. Right then, he was feeling even enervated because of the blood transfusion.

It was not long before Jepherson closed his eyes. Raeleigh watched him close his eyes and continue to clean up other parts of his body. Raeleigh went to the door and said, “Can you drop by my house and get some clothes? Just bring Santiago’s.”

“Okay, I’ll go.”

Jacky had sent someone over to stand guard and he personally went out and settle something else along the way.

Raeleigh finished cleaning Jepherson and called Xanthus.

She did not want to disturb Xanthus, but right then, she had to trouble him.

Xanthus checked the time. “I see.”

Xanthus asked someone to buy some ribs and prepare the utensils needed to cook some soup with the ribs.

He also told them to buy a lot of nutritious ingredients.

In the middle of the night, Raeleigh did not rest but whiled away her time in the corridor, cooking pork rib soup for the brothers.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Santiago and Jepherson came together. The pork rib soup cooked by Raeleigh was ready.

Worrying that the soup might not be suitable for patients, Raeleigh asked Xanthus beforehand to make sure it was fit for patient consumption.

Jacky sat by the side and watched Raeleigh. Deanna popped into his mind and he called her.

While he was on the phone, Raeleigh had already gone to the ward, bringing in the soup.

“I made some soup. Each of you should drink a bowl of it. There are also some nutritious ingredients in it. You can have some.”

Raeleigh put the soup on the table beside Jepherson and looked at Santiago. “Are you hungry?”

Santiago laughed. “I’m not.”

Thinking for a while, Raeleigh then said to Jepherson, “I’ll feed him. Gimme a moment.”

Jepherson sat for a while before holding his spoon and beginning to eat. Santiago lay still as Raeleigh fed him bit by bit.

While they were eating, the ward went totally quiet. Raeleigh was holding the bowl and feeding Santiago when suddenly her tears came dripping down.

Santiago stared at Raeleigh. “What are you crying for? I’m not dead yet.”

Raeleigh was busy wiping her tears with her arm. She sniffled and continued feeding Santiago the soup.

Jepherson turned his back on them, emotionless. After eating, he went back to lie down.

After Santiago finished eating, Raeleigh drank the leftover soup and ate the leftover pork ribs.

Raeleigh went out and retrieved Jacky’s bowl. She had left a bowl of soup outside before going into the room. When Jacky came back after finishing his call, there was a bowl of pork rib soup on the chair. Jacky looked at it for a while, and he then picked up his spoon and stirred its contents. There were ribs, meat, and some nutritious ingredients inside.

It was a big bowl.

Raeleigh finished her meal and began to clean up. When everything was done, she went to the doctor again. The doctor first checked on Santiago, made sure that there were no problems, and then examined Jepherson.

The two brothers were each given an injection. It still wasn’t time for Raeleigh to rest. She also needed to fix lunch for them.

It was already noon when she had finished. Santiago was exceptionally stubborn that day. He actually wanted to sit up and have lunch. Raeleigh refused and insisted that he lay down. He wouldn’t have listened until she started putting on a stern look.

However, the brothers were hyperactive and wouldn’t sit still although they were hurt. When Raeleigh came back after washing the dishes, she found no one, as both of the brothers had left the ward.

Raeleigh’s face turned pale instantly, nervousness getting the better of her.

“Santiago, Jepherson…”

She called out twice. Seeing no one around, Raeleigh turned around and walked outside. Jacky was sitting at the door, his arms crossed around his chest.

“They’re gone. They’re missing,” Raeleigh said to Jacky the moment they met. Jacky stood up with a blank expression on his face. “That’s not possible.”

Raeleigh bit her lip, turned around, and went back inside. When she went in, she saw that the two brothers were standing at the bathroom door, holding onto the supporting bar.

Raeleigh breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over. She looked at Jepherson and then at Santiago. Confused, she asked, “Why are you up and about?”

Santiago glanced at Jepherson. “He made me get up.”

Raeleigh frowned at Jepherson, showing her displeasure.

“He told me he had to answer nature’s call.” Jepherson pulled a long face as if he had been framed, which made him none too thrilled.

Raeleigh blanked out for a moment. She didn’t know what they meant. They both seemed to be serious.

Who was the liar?
