Getting My Ex-wife Back

Scarlette trained her whole life, so she had an acute hearing. The moment the door moved, she looked in that direction. However, Raeleigh grabbed her hand, and she looked at her in turn. Raeleigh didn’t speak up immediately, but she could sense her calm breathing in the dark. Looking at the curtain, she finally understood what was going on.

After closing the door, Jacky glanced at the entrance. Deanna’s breathing was different from the others. Furthermore, when he entered, he had heard her talking.

“Oh, c’mon, why aren’t you two talking? Are you guys already asleep? Or are you exchanging secrets?” Unable to fall asleep, Deanna sat up. When she was about to get out of bed, the curtains separating them moved, and a figure entered. Thinking it was Raeleigh, she muttered, “Oh, now you come.”

The figure didn’t say anything. Deanna frowned and looked in the figure’s direction. It took her a long time to figure out it was Jacky, but before she could react, he sealed her lips with a kiss, not allowing her to speak.

“Mm…”

It wasn’t until Deanna opened her mouth that Jacky retreated. Deanna immediately called out, “Jac-”

“Don’t talk. Let me look at you.”

Just like that, he looked at the tear-streaked face in the dark. Deanna felt absolutely aggrieved, as if she had been abandoned.

After taking off his jacket, he sat on the bed and pulled her into his arms, hands over her belly while she sobbed like a child.

“Don’t cry. Be a good girl, or someone will discover us.”

She immediately stopped crying at that, but she was still sad, sniffling.

“Jacky, I miss you so much. Why didn’t you come and see me?”

He hugged her tightly and said, “How can I when I can’t find you?”

“Oh…”

Upset, Scarlette didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was probably experiencing the saddest moment of her life. The two of them were sharing an intimate moment while she and Raeleigh were on the other side, third-wheeling. Deanna wouldn’t sleep alone no matter what and look at the situation they were stuck in. How infuriating.

Raeleigh, on the other hand, was quite at ease; she turned over and leaned against the side. It was getting late, time to rest.

Scarlette had to hand it to her; she couldn’t believe Raeleigh was able to sleep in a moment like that.

Not long after Raeleigh fell asleep, Scarlette also heartlessly fell asleep while the other two hugged the entire night.

When Raeleigh got up in the morning, Jacky slept on the opposite bed with Deanna in his arms; she coughed, waking them up.

Opening his eyes, Jacky looked at Raeleigh. “I should go.”

Hearing that, Deanna immediately sat up and grabbed Jacky’s hand tightly. “No, I won’t let you leave. What am I to do if you leave?”

“Deanna, be a good girl.”

Jacky’s words gave Scarlette the goosebumps. Could he not?

Scarlette put on her clothes and sat on the bed. When she was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Leading Deanna to look at the door, then the person at the door said, “Do you need my help, Scarlette?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“It’s the nurse,” she said to them before turning to the nurse, “I’m good. My friend is here; she can help me. Please bring me some breakfast. My friend has a big appetite, so please bring more.”

Scarlette looked at the door. Jacky sat up and waited until the nurse left to hold Deanna’s hand, saying, “I’ll come again tonight.”

“No way.”

Deanna was scared; she did not want to be separated from Jacky. So no matter what Jacky said, she would not agree.

Raeleigh said, “If you genuinely don’t want to be separated from him, be quiet for a while. Jacky, you can stay if you don’t have to absolutely leave. Scarlette and I will be here this whole time; no one will come in, but your time is limited. You should know that it’s not necessarily that you have not been discovered but that Mr. Whalen probably deliberately let you in.”

There were so many people around; there was no way he wasn’t noticed.

Jacky glanced outside and thought for a moment, “I understand. I’ll stay for today then.”

Hearing that Jacky was going to stay, Deanna happily pulled Jacky over from the bed. “Jacky, let’s sleep for a while.”

“Oh, sure, sleep,” Scarlette said contemptuously.

Deanna opened her eyes and glanced at her. “It’s freezing outside. What else are we supposed to do if not sleep?”

“We’ll be eating in a short while. If you don’t get up now, what are you going to do when the nurse comes over with food?” Scarlette said, hard-hitting. Only then did Deanna get out of bed and pull up Jacky as well, walking straight to the bathroom.

After watching them go in, Raeleigh went to take care of Scarlette. To Scarlette, so be it that she was paralyzed, but Raeleigh still thought it was her fault.

After helping Scarlette to the wheelchair, she felt her feet and commented, “Your feet sure are cold!”

With that, she rubbed Scarlette’s feet immediately. When she brought her legs over the night before, Scarlette said she felt weirded out, so she could only withdraw. In the end, she was bothered by it the entire night, unable to sleep.

Raeleigh knew very well that two sets of heaters in the room were not enough for such a cold day. Scarlette was alone, and her room didn’t even have any warmth. If it went on like that, even if her legs could recover, her peripheral nerves would atrophy and necrosis. That wouldn’t do.

Raeleigh wore a terrible look and kept rubbing Scarlette’s feet with her hands.

“No need to be like this. I’m fine.”

Scarlette pushed Raeleigh, but she pushed Scarlette’s hand away in turn, saying firmly, “If you won’t go with me, I will tell Hadrian what happened to you. If you don’t think it’s convenient for me to take care of you, you’re just telling me Hadrian is.”

Raeleigh was never one to threaten, but if she were truly driven into a corner, she would.

Scarlette’s hands froze. She took it back, asking, clenching it in a fist, “Are you threatening me?”

Raeleigh did not look up but continued rubbing Scarlette’s foot. “Consider yourself unlucky that you met me. If threatening works, I will.”

“Raeleigh, must you force me? I’m doing well here. Why are you doing this?”

Scarlette didn’t want to go back, no matter how. It didn’t matter that she was there; it wasn’t too bad.

“If you really are, you wouldn’t be like this. It is freezing out there, and your hands and feet are cold. Do you want to die?”

Raeleigh was so angry that she was on the verge of crying. Scarlette pressed her lips together, not saying a word.

Someone knocked on the door. Raeleigh stood up and went to open it, bringing breakfast in. She eyeballed it and felt reassured, seeing it was enough for all of them.

After the nurse left, Raeleigh put the food down and went to the bathroom. She knocked on the door to call the two of them out. Then she fetched a basin of hot water, helped Scarlette wash up, and asked the two lovebirds to have breakfast before she went into the bathroom.

She only washed up when the others ate.
