Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh’s legs turned to jelly when she saw Scarlette. She was all alone in an empty room, sitting in a wheelchair with her arms on the armrest. The white-blue plaid hospital gown looked exceptionally glaring; Scarlette’s appearance shocked her.

“Scarlette,” Raeleigh called out as she walked toward her. Scarlette jumped a little but quickly went unresponsive.

Raeleigh squatted in front of her, grabbing the wheelchair, teary.

Scarlette looked at Raeleigh with her pale, thin face, trembling slightly.

Deanna stood beside them, tears flowing like a never-ending waterfall. Finally unable to hold herself back, Raeleigh sobbed.

Scarlette’s lips trembled. “Why are you here?”

Raeleigh could do nothing but cry. Looking at Scarlette, never had she imagined this would happen to her.

“If I knew this would happen, I would not have let you go no matter what.”

Raeleigh choked with sobs. Scarlette held Raeleigh’s hands as tears started pooling in her eyes and quickly streamed down. “The doctor said my baby was long dead. I just didn’t realize it.”

“How is that possible?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I have been active all my life, so I’ve been careless about my pregnancy, thinking I was in good health.” Scarlette pursed her lips and held Raeleigh’s hand tightly.

“Oh, you foolish girl. Your child may be gone; you can still have another one. I also had a miscarriage, but I still managed to overcome it.”

She was once there herself, and she knew how painful the experience was. However, she lost her child in the early stages of her pregnancy; she couldn’t even feel her baby, unparalleled to Scarlette’s pain.

Scarlette shook her head. “It’s my fau< this is my karma. I never learned to cherish. Sometimes, I'd threaten Hadrian with the baby when I got angry, telling him I'd kill his child if he forced me again. I really said such horrible things... Really..." Scarlette started sobbing, and Raeleigh immediately got up to hug her, consoling. Deanna was sobbing too. In actuality, Deanna had never dared to come. When she first learned of Scarlette's misfortune, she nearly miscarried. But she was only fine because of her father's protection. Seeing that Deanna was becoming short of breath as she cried, Raeleigh immediately left Scarlette's side and went over to hug Deanna and guide her over to sit down. "Don't cry. Please don't cry," Raeleigh comforted Deanna, and she finally stopped crying. As Deanna sniffled, Scarlette's tears gradually stopped. Wiping her tears, Scarlette said, "What's there to cry about? You guys, on the other hand, started crying the moment you came. I'm not even crying anymore. Raeleigh knew Scarlette was heartbroken, but this was something she had to face sooner or later. Deanna felt uncomfortable and laid down on the bed on her side. Worried something might happen to her, Raeleigh sat next to her and checked her pulse. Being around Xanthus, she learned a little medical knowledge. After her uncomfortableness was gone, Deanna stared at Raeleigh and asked, "Raeleigh, are you training to be a doctor?" Raeleigh heaved a sigh of relief; all things aside, Deanna was optimistic. "I know a thing or two. Deanna, you need to stop letting your emotions get the best of you. Otherwise, your child will be born ugly." Of course, Raeleigh was deliberately scaring Deanna. However, she took it to heart and immediately held her belly. "No way it will." "Don't cry then." With that, she let go of her hand and looked toward Scarlette. Scarlette pursed her lips and hid her sadness away. Forcing a smile, she asked, "Why are you here? Is Jacky here too?" Hearing Jacky's name, Deanna sprung up from the bed and stared at Raeleigh, "Jacky's here?" Raeleigh did not answer but looked at Scarlette, "What are you going to do?" "I'm doing well here. I'm staying." Scarlette looked determined; Raeleigh frowned and said, "The child is gone, but you can still have another one. You can't..." "The doctors said they aren't sure whether my legs will recover. I don't want to be a burden to anyone, nor do I want to see Hadrian." She was ashamed to face him again. "Scarlette, you..." "Don't. I don't want to be sad anymore," Scarlette said resolutely. Raeleigh didn't know what else to say, but she didn't want to go back right then either. She turned to Deanna. "Deanna, I want to stay here and accompany Scarlette. Please tell Uncle Rayan for me." Deanna took out her phone and called her father without hesitation. After the call got through to Rayan, she exchanged a few words with him before she hung up. Raeleigh sat down and looked at Scarlette. "How do you get by here?" "They have nurses here who are all very good to me." Scarlette was slowly getting used to the present; she had calmed down and was talking like normal. Raeleigh took a look outside. It was freezing; Scarlette wouldn't be able to leave either. Raeleigh looked around and said, "Scarlette, you can't stay here alone in the long run. I want to take you to my house. Are you willing to go with me?" Scarlette looked at Raeleigh and asked, "Your home?" "My parent's place. You should know, it's the one my grandma lives in." Scarlette was still a little unfamiliar, but she still had a vague memory of it. "I won't go," she said. "I won't go to anyone's place; I think it's nice here. I have enough savings to cover." "Scarlette..." "Raeleigh, I want to retain some of my dignity. You know I don't want to live under someone else's roof. I've always been serving the Richards family, so I'm unwilling to have someone serve me instead. I'm already used to my life." "There is still a possibility of treatment for how you are now. But if you refuse to walk around, your muscles will atrophy, and it'll be too late then." With that, Deanna explained, "The doctors said it's not a medical accident; she's completely alright. Her mentality is preventing her from standing up." Stumped, Raeleigh turned to Scarlette, "Why are you so stubborn?" "Stop talking or leave." Scarlette refused to leave with Raeleigh no matter how, and seeing that she couldn't talk some sense into her right then, Raeleigh said nothing more. After sitting down, Raeleigh observed the room; it was relatively clean. Sometime later, Jacky popped up in her mind, and she turned to Deanna, "Deanna, are there many men in your house here?" "Yeah, they are all protecting me." "What about when you sleep at night?" Raeleigh asked. Deanna looked smug. "I sleep alone, but I haven't stayed here before, so I want to sleep here with you guys tonight." "Deanna, there's only one bed here," Raeleigh reminded. However, Deanna only shuffled closer and said, "I want to stay here regardless. If anything, I can ask someone to send me a bed." In the end, Deanna really sent someone to bring over a bed. Looking at the bed, Raeleigh felt a headache. Raeleigh persuaded Deanna again and again without any success of changing her mind. However, when night fell, Deanna regretted it. The three of them slept late that night. After the lights switched off, Deanna slept on her small bed with a curtain separating her and the other two. Bothered, Deanna said, "Are you guys sharing secrets? Tell me." Raeleigh didn't say anything but only lay in bed and waited. The lights were switched off; it was almost time, and just as she thought so, the door opened.
