Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jepherson spent the next few days resting in bed. He only got out of bed after he looked better. Raeleigh took care of him and gave him some supplements. She did it discreetly as she didn’t want anyone to find out.

Raeleigh felt it would be very embarrassing if anyone found out about Jepherson’s condition. She did not want people to think he was impotent at such a young age.

Raeleigh sat beside Jepherson as he finished his bowl of soup. “Are you feeling better?”

Jepherson looked up at Raeleigh. “Not really.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment. “Didn’t Xanthus say that you would feel better after a couple days rest? Didn’t he say that you were just fatigued?”

“Your brother specialises in orthopaedics. Maybe he can’t treat my condition?” Jepherson answered in a serious tone. Raeleigh’s heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Raeleigh observed Jepherson. His complexion had improved a lot. It was much better than the other day. How could he have not recovered?

Raeleigh walked over to Jepherson and stood in front of him. “Are you really still feeling unwell?”

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh without answering.

Raeleigh asked, “Where do you feel discomfort?”

Jepherson hesitated for a moment. “My entire body.”

Raeleigh was speechless.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at Jepherson. “I can’t tell whether you’re being serious or not.”

“I actually still feel a little unwell.” Jepherson said as he straightened his shirt. Raeleigh sat beside him and asked, “Where do you feel unwell?”

Jepherson looked over at Raeleigh and said. “I don’t know.”

Raeleigh felt a little helpless. “What? How can you not know?”

“All I know is that l still feel a little unwell.”

Raeleigh was speechless.

Raeleigh was a little annoyed by his reply. She stood up angrily and stopped asking.

However, after a while, she asked Jepherson again.

Jepherson never gave her a clear answer and Raeleigh was genuinely worried about him.

She wanted to ask Xanthus, but she was too shy.

Jepherson had a good appetite this morning when he ate breakfast, but Raeleigh still felt that something was wrong.

Xanthus asked Jepherson about his condition and he said that he was feeling fine, but Raeleigh was still worried.

Hence, Raeleigh decided to look up Jepherson’s symptoms on the internet. However, after looking, she was even more worried. She couldn’t even eat in peace.

In the evening, Raeleigh deliberately said she wanted to spend the night at a hotel, so Jepherson brought her there. However, nothing happened all night. In the morning, Raeleigh woke up and realised that she still had her clothes on. Jepherson did nothing but hugged her all night.

Raeleigh woke up feeling a little tired in the morning. However, she still asked Jepherson how he was feeling and whether he needed to see the doctor.

Jepherson thought for a moment. “I don’t want to see a doctor.”

Raeleigh was in a dilemma. She was afraid that treatment would be delayed if he didn’t see a doctor. Xanthus may be a doctor, but he was an orthopaedics doctor. She doubt he knew what was wrong with Jepherson.

In the end, Raeleigh still felt that he should go to the doctors and get a thorough examination. She had to persuade him, “If there really is something wrong, at least we can catch it early and treat it immediately.”

Jepherson stared out of the window. When he heard what Raeleigh said, he turned around. “Are you sure? You’re still willing to be with me even if we find out that there’s something wrong with me?”

Raeleigh wanted to say that if this was God’s plan, then she could forgive him, but this was his own doing, he had to bear the consequences.

However, Raeleigh felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of it.

“If there really is something wrong with you, then I will be with you every step of the way. I will not leave you unless you leave me.”

Jepherson stood by the window, lost in his own thoughts. He held his hands behind his back and stared at Raeleigh. “You refused to be with me when there was nothing wrong with me. Now, there is a possibility that I have some sort of illness and you’re saying that you’re not going to leave me?”

“That’s got nothing to do with each other. We’re a couple now. I’m not going to leave you just because you’re sick.”

Raeleigh felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn’t expected things to get this bad. If word got out, Jepherson would definitely be the talk of the town. He would become the laughing stock of Capital City.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

His reputation would be tarnished.

Jepherson was silent for a moment. In the end, he agreed to see a doctor.

However, Raeleigh was facing another dilemma. She didn’t know which doctor to go to. She didn’t want people to know.

“I think it’s best if we go abroad.”

After hesitating for an entire afternoon, Jepherson finally decided to seek medical consultation abroad. Raeleigh, too, felt it was safer that way.

Before leaving, Raeleigh went home to inform Xanthus that she was going to accompany Jepherson out of town to look for his sister. Xanthus was leaning against the sofa, his arms crossed. Raeleigh was very nervous. She felt as if she was about to commit a crime. She didn’t dare to look up.

“Raeleigh…”

Xanthus said after a long time. Raeleigh looked up. “Yes?”

“Take care of yourself.”

“….”

Raeleigh did not know what to say. For a moment, she felt that she should tell Xanthus the truth.

But she decided against it when she thought of the consequences.

“I know, I…”

“Be careful.”

“Yes, I will.”

Xanthus handed Raeleigh some money. “I know you have your own card, but this is mine. If you need to use it, you can.”

“I have money. Dad gave me some.”

“Keep it.”

Xanthus didn’t really know what to say to Raeleigh. She was a quite a smart girl, but she had lost her ability to think rationally after meeting Jepherson.

Their flight was scheduled to depart at 8pm. She  fell asleep as soon as they boarded the plane. She had been feeling sleepy in the past few days. In fact, Jepherson was not the only was who felt weak. She felt weak too.

However, Jepherson’s condition seemed much more serious than hers. He always preferred to stay in bed while she took care of him even though he looked fine.

Raeleigh leaned against his shoulders and fell asleep.

Jepherson looked over at Raeleigh and gently ran his fingers across her eyebrows. Raeleigh felt something tickling her and stirred a little. Jepherson stopped. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and gently patted her to sleep.

It was not until the plane landed that Raeleigh woke up. Raeleigh yawned as they disembarked the plane. Jepherson held her in his arms and asked, “Are you tired?”

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. “No, I’m not. Have you decided which hospital to go or are we going to look at some hospitals?”

Jepherson considered it for a moment. “I’m not very familiar with this place. If the people here aren’t that good, it’ll be troublesome instead. So I want to go to a big hospital.”

“Alright then, let’s do some quick research.”

Raeleigh got in the car and did some research on her phone. She found a couple hospitals, picked one, and told the driver to bring them there.

The doctor was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a pair of silver glasses. He glanced at Raeleigh and Jepeherson. She felt that he was looking at them strangely, as though they had brought it upon themselves.

“Your symptoms aren’t good. You need long term treatment. I will prescribe some medications for you first. If it works, you may continue with the treatment. If not, you can go somewhere else.

You have what we call an artificial disease. It is related to your mental state. If we can treat it mentally, I believe there will be good results. Otherwise, there’s nothing we can do.”

Raeleigh’s palms were cold and clammy.

Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand. When Jepherson heard what the doctor said, he turned around and looked at her. She remained silent and said nothing. Jepherson stood up and led her out of the room.
