Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh looked strangely at the two men who were cooking. One was making a tofu dish, while the other was deboning fish. As though they had agreed to a truce, they were then minding their own tasks in peace.

It seemed that they heard the sound of Raeleigh’s footsteps. Jepherson took a look at the door of the kitchen. Seeing Raeleigh, he blinked his eyes and said, “Wash your hands.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. Then, Xanthus, with his gaze on her, said, “Wash your hands. Dinner’s coming right up.”

“Okay,” Raeleigh promised Xanthus. As for Jepherson, Raeleigh dismissed his greetings away.

After washing her hands, she went to the kitchen to help.

With four dishes and one soup, it was quite the assorted menu.

The three of them sat down. Jepherson looked at the person standing by the side and said, “Come and eat.”

He, who was called, went to Raeleigh’s side and began eating.

Raeleigh sat beside Xanthus, while Jepherson’s aide sat opposite him.

Jepherson prepared the tofu himself, so he put it in front of Raeleigh, to which she ignored. Then, he raised his hand and spooned some into Raeleigh’s bowl. After that, Raeleigh took a bite of it.

After eating, Jepherson glanced at the time. “Let’s not clean up. Stuart needs someone to take care of him. Let’s go.”

Getting up, Jepherson gestured at his aide to wait outside the door.

Closing the door, Raeleigh asked Xanthus, “Do we need to take his car and leave together?”

“Nope. Let’s drive there in case it’s inconvenient for us to come back.” Xanthus drove his car, bringing Raeleigh with him.

They drove to the hospital, and Jepherson came afterwards with his men.

When the car arrived at the destination, Raeleigh went to the hospital with Xanthus. When they arrived at the hospital, she went to make food for Stuart while Xanthus changed into his doctor’s attire and went to see Stuart.

Xanthus stopped and turned to Raeleigh. “Raeleigh.”

“Yes?”

Raeleigh turned around to look at Xanthus, who said, “If Jepherson continues on like this, then I will take you away, whether Stuart is sick or not. He doesn’t need me anymore.”

Raeleigh stared at Xanthus and agreed.

Xanthus turned around and walked away. At the door of the elevator stood Jepherson. He looked at Xanthus and paused. Jepherson stepped forward and walked towards Xanthus.

Jepherson looked at him up and down and said, “I didn’t want to hurt her. I just wanted to get closer to her.”

“That’s what you think, but I’m not of the same opinion.”

“If you don’t understand how to respect her personal space, then you’re at fault.” After saying that, Xanthus walked away. Raeleigh took a glance at him and turned to the kitchen. When she entered, Raeleigh was afraid that Jepherson would come in uninvited when her guard was down. Then, she locked the door.

Raeleigh checked the refrigerator, finding that fresh ribs had been put inside. There had been nothing the day before, which indicated that it had just been restocked.

Raeleigh took out the bone and rinsed it. Then, she began to make bone soup.

Jepherson tried to open the door twice, but to no avail. He could only knock. Raeleigh took a look at the glass on the door, which was translucent.

Raeleigh knew it was Jepherson, but she did not intend to go out.

Jepherson knocked twice again, but Raeleigh didn’t open the door and continued with what she was doing.

Raeleigh ignored him when she heard Jepherson’s call. Raeleigh blacklisted his phone number, so that he could not get through.

“Raeleigh…”

Outside, Jepherson was calling Raeleigh, who was upset. What on Earth was this man doing?

“You can leave now. I’m going to make soup.”

“I’m in a little bit of discomfort. Look at me, am I having a fever?”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. It seemed that his voice sounded really awful.

After thinking for a while, Raeleigh opened the door and looked at him. “If you have a fever, then you should go to a doctor instead of me.”

“Try and check. If I’m sick, then I’ll leave.” Jepherson was telling the truth. Raeleigh raised her hand to feel his head. After touching him, Raeleigh also raised her hand to touch her head. It was indeed warm.

“Why would you have a fever out of nowhere?” Raeleigh asked with a strange look on her face, putting her hand down.

Jepherson simply looked at Raeleigh. “Give me some antibiotics. I’ll wait for you in your room.”

Jepherson turned back to Raeleigh’s and Xanthus’s ward. The man who followed him lowered his eyes slightly. The fever happened as he had gone to take a cold shower in the morning. When he came out, he heard Jepherson sneeze but the latter deliberately did not show it in front of Xanthus.

Jepherson entered through the door and took off his clothes. After going to the bathroom, he then went to lie down. Raeleigh returned with antibiotics.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It was too troublesome to buy antibiotics in the hospital. The doctor did not care about the patient’s life and death. Without the hospital’s admission, it was impossible to give one medicine.

Raeleigh knew this very well. Even if she told the hospital’s staff who she was, the hospital would not entertain her.

So, Raeleigh did not waste any time and ran straight to Xanthus. She said that Jepherson had caught a cold and asked for medicine.

Although Xanthus had some doubts, it was not their fault if a patient faked his illness. So, he wrote a prescription for her to collect some medicine.

Raeleigh came back quickly as the pharmacy was only downstairs. Raeleigh took the medicine and came back to see Jepherson. She gave Jepherson some water to wash down the pills.

“Lie down for a while. I’m gonna check on the soup.”

Raeleigh had a lot of things to do, so she turned around and went back to the kitchen. Jepherson did not move. Raeleigh began to pace back and forth, attending to two tasks.

It was noon. Raeleigh took a thermometer to check Jepherson’s temperature. However, it hadn’t gone down, which made Raeleigh anxious.

“Weird. Why do you have a fever?” Raeleigh asked him in confusion. He stared at Raeleigh but he could not answer.

Feeling apprehensive, Raeleigh called Xanthus.

“Xanthus… his fever has become serious.” Raeleigh was a little depressed. When she called, she looked back at Jepherson. She must have owed him in her past life.

Otherwise, how would her life end up like this?

Raeleigh put down her cell phone and turned to look at him. He frowned. “It’s just a fever.”

“If your temperature is too high, then your brain would go haywire.” Raeleigh rolled her eyes at Jepherson, who did not answer until Xanthus came over. Raeleigh was helping him cool his face with cold water.

Xanthus came in from the outside and took a look. He closed the door and went to the hospital bed. He undid Jepherson’s clothes and asked Raeleigh to make a phone call.

“Send him to the examination room immediately. Perhaps, it’s a virus infection,” Xanthus said as he looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh made a call immediately. Jepherson was also sent to the examination room for a blood test.

Raeleigh accompanied Jepherson until he had finished the examination before coming back with him. Jepherson was diagnosed with having a viral cold.

Raeleigh walked in a daze. Jepherson had been sleeping, with an IV drip hanging on a stand beside him. He didn’t react much, as if he was tired.

Raeleigh felt chronically fatigued. Ever since she had met Jepherson, she had never known vitality anymore. But if she was asked to say that she had no feelings at all…

Raeleigh would be worried when she saw Jepherson lying on the hospital bed, asleep. When she thought of their happy memories together, she was worried that something would happen to him.

“Raeleigh… I’m off to examine Stuart. He’s in a bad state today. I can’t stay here to accompany you. Can you do it alone?” Xanthus wanted to leave, but he couldn’t ignore Stuart for Jepherson’s sake.

“Of course.” Raeleigh stood up. Taking care of one patient wouldn’t pose that much difficulty for her.
