Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh had almost forgotten about this matter. Since something had happened to Santiago, the promotion campaign would be shelved.

Thus, Raeleigh asked Jepherson, “What should we do next?”

Jepherson ruminated for a moment. “There won’t be a ‘next’.”

Pursing her lips, Raeleigh felt a sharp pain and released it instantly. The corners of Jepherson’s mouth curled up as he raised his hand to pinch her chin. “Does it hurt?”

Raeleigh’s face puckered as she scowled at him. “It’s all your fault.”

“If it hurts, then behave yourself. Women should stay out of what men need to do.”

Jepherson let go of his grasp. Glowering at him, Raeleigh tightly held the shovel in her hand. She wished she could strike him hard right on the head and smash him into pieces.

However, she lacked the courage to do so.

After that, Raeleigh focused on the issue. “What should we do? What about our agreement?”

There was a hint of throatiness in her voice as she didn’t want things to end up like this. If the plan was put on hold, then she probably couldn’t leave in time.

However, the problem was…

Raeleigh turned around and looked at his cold, elf-like face. Why was a man bestowed with such a face beyond her? She found it very bizarre,

Jepherson seemed to be able to see through her mind. In an instant, the corners of his lips curled into a smile. “What else do you want to say?”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Raeleigh pursed her lips. “Nothing.”

Jepherson smirked and walked to the side to help her with the cooking. “Let’s go to the office to settle it. If it’s possible, then we can hand it over to the team. Or, we can do our own parts separately and see who will be the winner.”

“Will you do that?” Raeleigh asked with uncertainty.

“Why not?”

“You are the senior executive of the company. You have an obligation to make decisions for the sake of the company. You should…”

“I will.” Jepherson chewed on a piece of cucumber. “In the past, I thought I wouldn’t do it, but now, I will.”

After the meal, Jepherson threw a glance at Raeleigh. Putting the plate aside, he sat down and asked, “Is there anyone else?”

“My brother.”

“Call him to come over.”

Raeleigh took out her phone and called Xanthus, who was then surprised to see Jepherson when he came in from the outside. Raeleigh’s eyes fell on Xanthus. “I’m going to the company in the afternoon to deal with the matter regarding the car blueprint.”

For some inexplicable reason, Raeleigh was very weary, both physically and mentally.

Raeleigh handed the bowl and cutlery to Xanthus, who sat down to have his meal with his head down. Looking at him, Raeleigh had an uncanny feeling that she had fallen into a bottomless and inescapable pit.

Initially, she relied on this opportunity to get out of the Richards Group. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to leave, but such mishap also transpired.

Besides, Santiago had an accident not too long ago, so her plan had to be postponed as well.

Obviously, Xanthus sensed Raeleigh’s helplessness. Sitting down next to her, he rested one of his hands on Raeleigh’s shoulder. With the other hand, he touched her forehead and realized that she was having a fever.

“Do you have a fever?” He put down the cutlery and stood up to help her get up. Raeleigh answered, “No, I don’t. It was the heat from the room just now.”

Xanthus shook his head. “No, it’s a fever.”

At that moment, Jepherson also stood up. He was aware of her weak immune system.

“Let’s go for a checkup.” Jepherson dashed to her side in a flash and told her so. However, Raeleigh looked at him weakly. “There’s no need for that. I’m fine.”

“You don’t have to act tough. I have the final say regarding the company’s affairs. You don’t have to go there today.” Jepherson bent down to scoop Raeleigh into his arms. Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Raeleigh tried to shove him away. “Put me down quickly. I’m fine. Do you hear me?”

Carrying Raeleigh in his arms, Jepherson went out through the door and headed for the elevator. He was heading to the examination room.

Behind them was Xanthus, who was making a call to arrange for an examination. As a result, Raeleigh was brought to the examination room downstairs and underwent a full body checkup. With that, the day had passed.

When the sky had darkened, Raeleigh lay on the bed in a daze. She knew very well that she was ill at the moment.

After a day, Raeleigh woke up and felt that her eyelids were heavy and her body alternated between feeling cold and hot.

When she turned around, Santiago was sitting next to her. She stared blankly at him. “Are you alright?”

Santiago was wearing a green shirt. He had fair skin, and he looked good in all kinds of clothes, but green was an exception.

As it was winter, Raeleigh wondered why he had to wear a shirt of this color. Did he like green so much?

Underneath the shirt, his body had been swathed in white gauze. Raeleigh inquired, “Did you run out before your wounds have healed?”

Santiago gazed at her. “What else?”

Raeleigh looked around the ward. Jepherson sat on one side, holding his phone as he was browsing through the internet. Xanthus stood on the other side, reading the diagnosis report.

There was no one else.

“What happened to me?”

“Nothing.” Santiago pinched her face. Just as he withdrew his hand, Jepherson’s toneless voice could be heard in the entire ward. “If your hand itches, then chop it off.”

Santiago lifted his head to cast a glance at Jepherson. “Why don’t you do it?”

Jepherson continued to look at his phone without saying anything else. After that, Raeleigh shot daggers at Santiago. She barely retained her sanity in the midst of the brothers’ jealousy.

Santiago got up and went to the bed aside before he lay down and began to sleep.

Raeleigh gazed at the sky outside. It was already dark, so it was impossible for her to go to the company. She could only go there the next day.

That night, Releigh was restless. She was unsure whether it was because she had too much sleep or it was due to other reasons.

There were four people in the ward, which were Raeleigh, Xanthus, Jepherson and Santiago.

With that, it was impossible for Raeleigh to fall asleep.

At two o’clock in the morning, she finally rested for a bit after tossing and turning around countless times. Soon, it was the next morning.

Xanthus went to check on Raeleigh as soon as he woke up in the morning. He asked her why she had been tossing and turning all night. However, Raeleigh sat aside and said nothing. It was just that she had felt a little dizzy after breakfast. She was afraid that they would not let her go to the company, so she didn’t tell them about it. After taking the medicine, she went straight to the company with Jepherson.

Getting into the car, the dizziness worsened. Thus, she rested her head on Jepherson’s shoulder.

Jepherson let the chauffeur park the car at the entrance of the company. Then, he carried Raeleigh out of the car.

Raeleigh was in a deep slumber when Jepherson brought her out of the car. The chauffeur also got out to cover her with a coat as it was too cold. Jepherson didn’t want to wake her up as it was rare for her to sleep so comfortably. He couldn’t bear to interrupt her sleep.

After entering through the door, he walked all the way to the elevator. Whenever the employees greeted him, he would pull a long face.

Behind him, Seibert signaled the employees to shut their mouths. Only then did Jepherson gain tranquility.

In the office, Jepherson put Raeleigh down, drew the curtains, and closed the door of the office.

“Don’t let anyone disturb us.”

Jepherson spoke on the intercom and the people outside immediately accepted the order. Seibert went out of the office too.

Raeleigh was on the couch, sleeping soundly. With that, Jepherson stripped off his blazer and covered her with it. He touched her forehead to find that it was cool. The medicine must have started to take effect.
