Getting My Ex-wife Back

After arriving at the hospital, Jepherson and Santiago alighted from the car to visit Stuart.

Xanthus was tending to Stuart. There were also a few doctors on standby outside Stuart’s ward. The two brothers went to Hansen after visiting Stuart.

Raeleigh was preparing some food for Stuart. Stuart could finally have some simple food. One pipe was inserted through his nostrils and into his stomach. Raeleigh could not help shedding tears after seeing this painful image.

Xanthus saw that she was in distress, so he found her something to do.

She was assigned to taking care of Stuart’s diet.

Pushing open the door, Jepherson turned his face away from the scene. He groaned, “It’s not even nighttime yet.”

Hansen snorted coldly and let go of Jenna, who was sitting on his lap. He had only wanted to kiss her, but someone had walked in on them. “Woe is me,” he thought.

Since the two children reached adulthood, Hansen hadn’t been able to indulge himself at home. He had to consider their presence before getting into Jenna’s pants.

Jenna rolled her eyes at Hansen and turned to go to the bathroom, feeling a hint of embarrassment.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Closing the door of the washroom, Hansen got up and moved to another chair. His two sons entered the ward, one after the other.

“Have you figured out what happened?” Once the door was shut, Hansen asked Jepherson and Santiago. The former sat opposite him whereas the latter went to claim the bed. He began to feel drowsy from time to time.

“These people were not sent by Grandma. We have confirmed that although they insisted that they are working for her, we are sure that they are not.”

“Grandma might have been set up by someone. She did send someone out but they were swapped at some juncture,” Jepherson said.

Hansen snorted coldly. “Of course they are not your grandmother’s people. Even if she wants to hurt Raeleigh, she won’t harm you. After all, you are her grandson.”

Santiago yawned and pulled the socks off his feet. He took off his clothes and placed them beside the quilt. He pulled the quilt to reveal his fair and strong arms, ready to sleep.

Santiago closed his eyes. Before Jepherson and Hansen could finish speaking, he was already fast asleep.

“But it’s very strange that Grandma was used by others.”

While Jepherson was talking, Jenna came out of the bathroom. After washing her face, it was no longer red. She closed the door and walked towards Santiago. She tidied up his clothes and pants. She placed the quilt on one side and sat down by Santiago’s side.

Santiago flipped over and looped his arm around Jenna’s waist. He rested his head on Jenna’s lap. There was no hiding between this pair of mother and son. Even though Santiago was already an adult, he still retained his childlike behavior. Whenever he fell asleep, he would put his arm around Jenna’s waist with his head on her lap.

Hansen glanced at Santiago in disapproval and said to Jepherson, “What you mean is, someone has planted spies on your grandmother’s side?”

Jepherson nodded.

“We can rule out the servants at home from the list of suspects. They have been with us for over ten years. Some were born at our home and have been here since. It couldn’t have been them.”

Jenna was the first to deny that the traitor was someone from the family. Santiago hugged her. “Shush, Mom.”

Jenna immediately said, “Okay, go to sleep. I’ll keep my lips shut.”

Jenna doted on her youngest son very much, which was not known to everyone at home. From Marissa’s point of view, Santiago was a pile of mud that could not be made into a wall. Moreover, the Richards family’s rules was that their importance were ranked according to age. If one was not the eldest son in the Richards family, the one would be destined to be overshadowed by one’s older siblings.

In Jenna’s opinion, both children were an extension of herself and there was no difference between status. But some people would think highly of her eldest son and look down on the younger.

Although Jenna raised no objection, she could treat Santiago better than Jepherson.

It was to make up for the shortcomings caused by others.

Jenna raised her hand and pulled the quilt over Santiago, and patted his back. Only then did Santiago quieten down.

Hansen shot him a death stare. Although he did not like Santiago’s Oedipus complex and his shushing her when he was sleeping, Hansen was more than ready to overlook his actions.

At the end of the day, Santiago was destined to be Jepherson’s second in command.

Looking away, Hansen directed his attention towards Jepherson, and asked, “What do you think?”

Jepherson said bluntly, “I still haven’t investigated for any spies in the family. After all, there is no one to suspect and there will be more ways than one to dig out info on Grandma.”

“As for other questions…”

“The Moore family was involved in this matter too. Yousif and Meica are now powerless. Quirina could not appear now and she is not this capable.”

Jepherson analyzed.

“It’s Flynt Moore.” Hansen’s gaze deepened.

“I suspect it’s him as well. However, Santiago has already checked. The Moore family hasn’t made any moves, which means that he is afraid of dragging down the family and is using external help. Since these people were capable of coming into Capital City with no one the wiser, they’ve done a great job.”

Hansen raised his head and narrowed his eyes. He rapt his fingers on the chair. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son. “There has been no movement on Zorion’s side. It seems that these people have taken advantage of Zorion’s absence to set up the entrance and control the time to come in. They were aiming for your grandmother.”

“You’ve spoke my thoughts,” Jepherson said.

Hansen looked at the worried Jenna. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”

Jenna pursed her lips. How could she not worry about such a serious thing?

However, Jenna did not say anything and waited for her husband to say, “Rayan is back, but he hasn’t taken any action. Your mother just called his wife but she didn’t answer the phone. This says a lot about their rage. They are going to fight with us to the end. You can try to protect Jacky. But according to my understanding of Rayan, this matter is not so easy to solve. It’s likely that the loss outweighs the gain.”

“Deanna’s temper will be beyond your expectation.”

“She isn’t much different from a three-year-old child. If she was persuaded by Rayan and his wife, then Jacky might just be demoted to a passer-by in their lives. Both of you, buckle up and prepare for the worst, now.”

“Hansen, Deanna is pregnant. Couldn’t that child…”

Jenna pursed her lips, feeling a little sorry for Hannah and her daughter.

Hansen raised his eyes to look at his wife. There had been changes in the past twenty years. He had put on the blazing eyes of his youth and made it more and more intense, turning his clear arrogance and uninhibited self into restraint. Because of this, his eyes were deep, steady, and wise.

Jenna looked at her husband, slowly regained her composure, and stopped talking.

Hansen looked at Jenna and turned his head away. “Rayan isn’t an ordinary person. If a mere child can make him helpless, then he’s lost his touch. How can he still hold a place in Capital City?”
