Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh hadn’t expected that they would actually win the competition. However, Santiago stood there, unfazed by it all. Raeleigh had never seen such a self-righteous person. Until meeting Santiago, Raeleigh had always felt that Jepherson was the most self-righteous person in the world.

Raeleigh looked over at Santiago, who was sitting in a high chair, with his arms spread out as he leaned against the bar counter. He was surrounded by several women. They were all waiting for a chance to drink with him. He had a flirtatious smile on his face as he talked to the women.

One woman even suggested that Santiago drink with each and everyone of them. Santiago took a sip of his beer and smirked.

Raeleigh didn’t understand why Santiago liked to smile so much.

Raeleigh stared at Santiago for a little while longer before turning around to look at Jacky. At this time, Jacky, too, was surrounded by several women. Raeleigh thought to herself, “It’s not like they are the only two men left on this planet! Anyway, shouldn’t it be the guy who approaches the girl and not the other way round?”

“Raeleigh…”

Raeleigh was looking in Jacky’s direction when Santiago called out to her. He walked over to Raeleigh and handed her a glass of beer. “Let’s celebrate.”

“I don’t drink.”

Raeleigh really didn’t drink any alcohol.

Santiago clinked his glass of beer with Raeleigh and finished his glass. Raeleigh looked up at Santiago and said, “I don’t drink.”

“Will it kill you?” Santiago bent down and whispered in Raeleigh’s ear. She turned her head to look at Santiago’s handsome face. “It won’t, but it doesn’t mean I have to drink it!”

Santiago smiled at her and said, “Everyone is looking at us.”

Only then did Raeleigh realise that a lot of people were looking at them. “I shouldn’t have come with you.”

“Well, it’s too late, isn’t it? Are you going to drink it?” Santiago motioned towards her glass of beer. Raeleigh knew that she had no way out of this.

Raeleigh quickly glanced around the room before picking up her glass of beer. She intended to take one small sip as a gesture.

However, just as she picked up her glass, Santiago reached out and held her hand.

Everyone in the room were looking at Raeleigh and Santiago. He smiled, and his smile lit up the room.

Raeleigh was slightly confused. “What are you doing?”

Raeleigh was afraid. She had no idea what Santiago was going to do. Was he going to replace her glass of beer for a bottle of wine?

Alas…

“What do you think you’re doing?” Santiago reached for her glass and raised it to the crowd. “I’ll drink it on her behalf. She’s feeling a little under the weather today.”

Raeleigh watched as Santiago downed the beer. The crowd didn’t say anything and let it go.

Santiago placed the glass on the table and leaned against Raeleigh’s shoulder. She raised her hand and gave Santiago a push. “What are you doing? Can you sit properly?”

Santiago closed his eyes. “I’m not feeling well. I think I need to lie down.”

Raeleigh looked at Santiago and realised that something was wrong.

Raeleigh quickly stood up and helped Santiago down from the chair. She patted his face, slightly concerned. “Santiago! Santiago, are you alright?”

Santiago slowly opened his eyes, looking a little dazed. “I need to lie down. I don’t feel very well.”

The colour had drained from Santiago’s face. It didn’t look like he was faking it. Raeleigh was extremely worried when she saw Santiago was. She did her best to hold Santiago up as she walked towards Jacky.

“Jacky!”

Raeleigh called out to Jacky. Jacky turned around to look at Raeleigh. He pushed through the crowds and went towards her.

“What happened?”

“I have no idea. He said he’s not feeling well. He drank a couple of beers. I totally forgot that he had just recovered from his injury. I thought he was fine.”

Raeleigh was so panicky that she started to sweat.

Jacky hurriedly took Santiago from Raeleigh and said to the crowd, “I have to go. You guys can continue on without me.”

Jacky helped Santiago out of the hotel. Raeleigh hurriedly followed him and held onto Santiago’s hand. People who drank regularly knew that this was not a common side effect of alcohol.

After leaving Jack Town Hotel, Jacky brought Santiago to another part of Waverly Village to rest. After laying Santiago down on the bed, Jacky immediately called the doctor. It did not take long for the doctor to arrive. The doctor quickly examined Santiago and said that Santiago was having an allergic reaction from the alcohol and his medication. He assured them that this was a normal and minor reaction and that he would be fine after receiving an injection.

Normally, the medications would remain in one’s system for about a week.

After getting the injection and seeing the doctor off, Raeleigh was still a little worried. She never thought that it would be so serious.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. You guys can stay here tonight. I’ll be outside. Call me if you need anything.”

Jacky instructed and turned to go outside. Raeleigh sat beside Santiago and covered him with a quilt. She called Xanthus before calling Jepherson.

“He had an allergic reaction?” Jepherson was shocked when he learned what had happened to Santiago. After all, this was the first time it had happened.

“That’s what the doctor said, but I didn’t see any red rashes on him. He’s just sweating.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Raeleigh gave Jepherson a quick update on Santiago’s condition. However, Jepherson did not say anything else.

Raeleigh was waiting for Jepherson to continue talking, but there was silence on the other end for a couple of minutes. “Hello? Are you still there?”

“Yes.”

Santiago was currently fast asleep on the bed. Raeleigh subconsciously froze. She rubbed her eyebrows and looked over at Santiago. “What should we do now? Do you want to come over?”

“I’m playing chess with my father.” Jepherson said as placed his chess piece down on the table. Hansen raised his eyebrows and got up to leave.

Jepherson watched as his father left the room. “I won’t come over.”

“Alright then. I’ll call you if there’s anything else.”

Raeleigh hung up the phone. She got up and stretched. She touched Santiago’s cold head and went to lie on the other side of the bed.

Truthfully, Raeleigh felt that it wasn’t that Jacky didn’t have any money nor was it that he couldn’t afford a better house. Waverly Village was a small village just outside of Capital City. In order to get to Capital City, one would have to pass by Waverly Village. At the very least, this would help the economy of the village. However, even so, she found it strange that a person like Jacky, who did not lack anything, chose to live in a simple house rather than a luxurious house.
