Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh held back her tears and slowly pushed him away. Santiago leaned against the car as she applied medicine on him, then bandaged the wound and helped him put on his clothes.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead with a shirt, she looked outside and said, “Thank you.”

Her gratitude got everyone outside stumped.

“You sure are a strange one; we kidnapped and even hurt you. Why would you thank us?”

“It’s not your fault. You guys did it to survive.”

Then she stepped out of the car and moved Santiago further inside, then cushioned a pillow under him. Closing the door shut, she was about to leave when Santiago stopped her and said, “Leave it open.”

With that, she reopened the door and stared at him as he propped himself up.

“I’ll be fine.”

“Don’t make me yell at you.” He stared at her, his eyes unfathomable.

“Alright.”

She then turned to the attacker. “Has all the money been sent to your account?”

“Two more,” he replied. She thought for a moment and said, “You guys should leave ASAP; I’ll send you off.”

“We may have met by chance, but why would you still treat us like this when you didn’t gain anything from us?”

Everyone stared at Raeleigh as she said, “You’re all fugitives and have nothing to offer me, but you’ve done me great help by helping me keep him alive.”

“I’ll be able to regain the money I lost today, but not a life.”

“I’ll send you off.”

With that, she entered the car, and they didn’t stop her. Then she stuck her head out of the window and looked at them. “Get in; I’ll drive.”

The man hesitated for a moment but still got in the car. Raeleigh waited for the man to get in before turning around to close the door on Santiago’s side. She looked at him and said, “Hang on; we’ll head to the hospital after they leave.”

Santiago remained silent, staring out the window impatiently.

“Do you have any painkillers?” Raeleigh asked the attacker. He took a bottle of painkillers from his pocket and handed it to her. “Take this; we usually take it when we’re injured. The pain will go away in ten minutes.”

Raeleigh accepted the bottle and glanced at it before shaking out some pills, feeding them to Santiago. However, he spat them all out.

Exasperated, Raeleigh glared at him and tossed the pills into her mouth. She got out of the car and walked toward him. “Are you going to take them or not?”

Only then did he accept the painkillers and took some of them.

Seeing that, she spat out the pills in her mouth, then went back into the car and drove away.

It was oddly quiet in the car; the man in the passenger seat was dead before they arrived at the airport.

Raeleigh stared at the body in surprise. Then, she noticed the bullet hole in the window.

She looked out and saw that the other cars behind her stopped abruptly; a few of them had even turned over the road.

With that, she pulled over to take a look; the few cars behind her were in a miserable state.

She walked over only to be confounded by the sight; all the people in the car were dead.

Then, she turned around to see many cars surrounding her’s; there was even a helicopter hovering in the sky. How could that be possible?

A black car pulled over, and the door swung open. Seeing Jepherson come out as his gaze fixed on her, she pursed her lips and rushed to him, the wind whistling past her ears. She stopped before him and asked, “Why did you kill so many people?”

“It’s not me. They’re internationally wanted; as soon as I transferred the money to the accounts you gave, Interpol came to me, and they wanted me to work with them.”

Jepherson said as he looked inside the car, then opened the door and looked at Santiago; their eyes met. He bent over and helped Santiago out.

After entering his car, Jepherson said to Raeleigh, “Get in.”

Raeleigh obeyed.

After she got in, she saw there was another young man; he looked younger than Jepherson.

She reflexively looked over at Jepherson, wanting to ask if he was supposed to protect her.

The young man was handsome, and he had an extraordinary charisma.

But before she could say anything, Santiago spoke, “You sure have staged this well. Let me guess; you’re going to hog all the merit again.”

Lenold’s serious look broke into a smile as he looked at Santiago. “Don’t get me started on this. I don’t understand you at all. Why can’t you stop living life on the edge?”

“You know, many people with serious illnesses are begging to live a little longer. Why don’t you cherish your life?”

Lenold Matthews was a wunderkind. He had learned to solve cases from Christopher since he was a teenager. Due to his sharp mind and professionalism when handling cases, he was selected to join Interpol at a young age. Because of this, his family, including Christopher, moved there with him.

If not, others wouldn’t even get a chance to become the Director of Public Security Bureau in Capital City.

When they were children, Lenold and Santiago often fought with each other. Lenold was a fighter back then and loved to find trouble with Santiago. Because of this, Santiago held a grudge against him. However, Lenold left not long after.

After that, they seldom fought, but they still despised each other.

On the contrary, Lenold was highly respectful toward Jepherson, but he rarely interacted with him.

Santiago chuckled, “I thought you were dead.”

Raeleigh turned to look at him in surprise. Although he sounded indifferent, there was a hint of hostility in his tone.

Lenold said to Raeleigh in amusement, “Nice to meet you, Raeleigh. I’m Lenold, a lieutenant of Interpol. I’m amazed by your quick-wittedness, obviously much smarter than some people.”

Raeleigh at Lenold’s hand; she was about to shake his hand but changed her mind after hearing his remark.

“Nice to meet you.”

Raeleigh replied as she moved to sit beside Santiago. Wiping the sweat off Santiago’s face with a towel, she said to Jepherson, “Santiago needs to go to the hospital.”

“Yes.”

Raeleigh was unaware that they were heading to the hospital.

Lenold leaned against the car and looked at the three people, his lips curling into a smile. “Interesting,” he said.

Santiago shut his eyes, but Raeleigh held his hand and said to him, “Don’t sleep, Santiago.”

She took out her phone and called Xanthus. Although he wasn’t an expert in this field, he was all she trusted.

They arrived at the hospital shortly. Raeleigh was the first to get off the car. The doctors and nurses helped Santiago to the bed, and Raeleigh followed them to the emergency room.

Jepherson stood behind as he watched Raeleigh and the others while Lenold got out of the car. Their families had been close, so they would always hang out until Lenold left. Sometimes they would even be thrown into the woods and be messed with by the adults.

Hence, they had a strong bond.

“What’s going on with your family? Is she your girlfriend or Santiago’s?” Lenold asked in amusement as if he was enjoying a show. Jepherson glared at him and said, “Do you want to lose your merit?”

“C’mon, I’m just kidding,” Lenold hurriedly explained. Jepherson continued, “You’d better not joke about this kind of thing, lest you want to say goodbye to your achievements.”

“Are you threatening me?”

Jepherson walked over and said, “Remember to return the money to me.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent it to you.”

He was not greedy for money but merits.
