Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jepherson came out of Stuart’s ward and looked at Raeleigh. “I’m going to visit my parents.”

Raeleigh was talking to Santiago. She looked at Jepherson. “Alright.”

Jepherson turned around and made his way towards the elevator. Santiago put one leg onto the other and leaned to one side. When Jepherson left, Santiago stood up. “Let’s go.”

Raeleigh froze. “Go where?”

“Why do you ask so many questions?”

Santiago walked towards the elevator. Raeleigh took a look at Jepherson, who had already gone into his parents’ room before standing up and following Santiago. She took out her mobile phone and called Xanthus.

“Do you really have to report to your brother whenever you go out?” Santiago looked at Raeleigh who was on the phone. Raeleigh ignored him. As soon as Xanthus answered the phone, she asked, “Xanthus, where are you?”

Santiago reached out and pressed the call button on the elevator before shoving his hands back into his pocket. He stood by the elevator as Raeleigh made a call.

Raeleigh reached out and pulled Santiago to the corridor.

Xanthus changed and came out of the ward. Day and night were completely upside down. Plus, he hadn’t left the hospital. He didn’t even remember whether it was day or night.

Xanthus came out when he received Raeleigh’s call. He saw her and put his phone back into his pocket.

“I’m back.”

When Xanthus saw Raeleigh, he closed the door and stood there. Raeleigh walked over to Xanthus and said, “Santiago is going to take me somewhere.”

“Do you need a change of clothes?”

“No, I don’t. I already bought a new set of clothes.” That was all she could say since she had not brought over the rest of her clothes.

Xanthus glanced at Raeleigh. “You look much better now. Did you manage to do whatever you needed to do?”

“Yes, I did. I need to go now. I’ll bring you a gift.”

“A gift?” Santiago turned his head sideways and narrowed his eyes at Raeleigh. It was as if he was telling her that he wanted one too.

“I’ll get you one as well.” Raeleigh chimed in. Santiago put his hands in pockets and said, “That’s more like it.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Raeleigh ignored Santiago and looked at Xanthus. “I’ll be going now.”

“Alright.”

After that, Raeleigh followed Santiago into the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Santiago leaned against the other side. Raeleigh stood on the other side and looked at Santiago. “Are you sure you’ve fully recovered?”

“Yes, I have.” Santiago was much stronger than a lot of people. If a normal person suffered two major injuries in such a short time, she doubt they would be able to recover as quickly as Santiago did.

Raeleigh wanted to slice open his abdomen and see what he was actually made of.

But Raeleigh did not have the courage.

Santiago didn’t say anything else when he saw that Raeleigh didn’t respond. As soon as he got in the car, he unbuttoned his jacket and took off his shirt. Raeleigh sat in the passenger seat, covering her eyes with her hands.

Santiago was basically shirtless at this point. He reached out and removed Raeleigh’s hands away from her eyes. She was almost pale with anger.

However, when Raeleigh saw the wounds on Santiago’s body, she suddenly became quiet. Her eyes reddened and she turned around to cry.

Santiago quickly put on his clothes and reached out for a tissue. He pulled Raeleigh over and wiped the tears on her face while cursing Raeleigh for being so useless.

The more Santiago talked, the more she cried. In the end, Santiago held her in his arms without saying anything.

After awhile, Raeleigh stopped crying. She pulled herself out of his arms and scolded him.

Raeleigh couldn’t remember what she had said but she was sure she had scolded him. Santiago didn’t say anything. He started the car and drove away.

Jepherson stood by the window on the sixth floor and looked down at the carpark. He had clearly seen Santiago and Raeleigh entering the car together.

What was going on inside the car? The car did not start for a long time.

He clasped his hands behind his back with his head slightly bowed. Hansen, who was standing beside him, also with his hands clasped behind his back, asked his son, “What are you thinking about?”

Jepherson seemed to have fallen into a trance. It was only when he heard his father’s voice that he came back to his senses. After a moment of silence, he said, “I feel like I have an advantage.”

Hansen’s brows knitted slightly. “Why don’t you explain?”

Hansen turned around and sat down on the sofa. Jepherson walked over to him, but not before pouring a cup of tea for his father and himself. After that, he said, “I was born with an advantage. If it wasn’t because I’m older, I don’t think my sister would have met with an accident.”

Hansen frowned slightly. “There are some things that are incomparable. Never in my life I imagined I would be a father. Your birth is like a gift from God to your mother and I.”

“I believe in fate. Fate brought your mother and I together. It was already destined to be.”

“I know. All these years, you have been brooding over that incident, but no one is perfect. That’s bound to be some mishaps in one’s life. Everyone has to face it. No one can change it. Not you, not me.”

“We are considered lucky for the things we have, as for the rest, we have to leave it to fate.”

Jepherson shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. Just like Santiago’s accident. If Raeleigh hadn’t found Santiago slightly earlier but had waited a few days, even if they were able to save his legs, they wouldn’t have been able to save his life.

Although Raeleigh is very stubborn, I still think she’s worth it.”

“Whether she’s worth it or not and whether you should let it happen or not are two very different things. If you accommodate Santiago all the time, I’m sure it will eventually cause a rift between the three of you.”

“I don’t want my sons to fight over a woman.” Hansen said after a pause.

“I trust Santiago and I trust Raeleigh.”

“These things are hard to predict. Just like your mother and I. If I didn’t come into your mother’s life, she would probably have met someone much better than me and there wouldn’t have been you and Santiago.”

“But mom loves you.”

The corners of Hansen’s lips curled up. “That’s because your mother fell in love with me first. If we were to judge a relationship based on who fell in love with whom first, then I would only believe in the woman that had been moved first.”

Jepherson picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. Hansen cracked his knuckles and said, “I’ve always trusted my sons’ insight. Since the two of you like the same woman, it means that this girl is really something. However, there could only be one winner. Now, the problem is, what should my other son do?”

Jepherson looked at his father. In fact, he had also been thinking about this question for a long time!

“It looks like the food is ready. Let’s go and eat. Don’t tell your mom about this or she won’t be able to sleep. If that happens, I will look for you both for revenge.”

Hansen warned him and Jepherson had a look of disdain on his face.
