Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh sat aside, staring at Xanthus, who was using all kinds of instruments to verify the marriage certificate. Was he examining a marriage certificate or money?

The Richards brothers sat next to Raeleigh.

Santiago supported his cheek with his hand looking puzzled as he thought the scene was very strange.

After Xanthus was done checking the certificate, he put it away.

He got up and said, “Since the paper is legal, I will bring it up with my parents and let you know the details after I receive news from them.”

During this time, if Raeleigh is okay with it, she can stay with you or in the Richards Group Mansion. Everything else will have to wait.”

“But let me warn you, don’t do anything that upsets me.”

Jepherson was silent. Xanthus went to his room while Raeleigh turned to Jepherson. “Are you okay?”

“No.” Jepherson’s expression darkened; he was visibly feeling awful.

“Then why are you still here?” Raeleigh had already told him to leave and leave the matter alone after he brought the certificate.

But Jepherson had to be his stubborn self and stay, and sure enough, this was the result. She really wanted to ask him who was to blame for this situation but him?

He didn’t say a word as he was in low spirits.

After a while, Raeleigh stood up. “Didn’t you say you want to eat something? I’ll make it for you.”

With that, she went to the kitchen. Santiago looked toward the kitchen, and after he couldn’t see her anymore, he turned to his brother. “You two are married?”

As he was still bitter about the marriage certificate, he did not respond.

On seeing that Jepherson wasn’t going to speak, Santiago got up and went outside. He walked along the broadest street in the village. He came out without wearing a jacket, only a green shirt on him, but he didn’t feel cold despite the weather. Even though it was made of cotton, the bone-chilling wind could still penetrate through.

Santiago walked mindlessly just like that. When Jacky saw him, he was standing at the village entrance, looking in the direction of Capital City.

His face was cold, and his skin was ruddy. It seemed that he had been standing there a long time, frozen.

Jacky got out of his car and walked over to Santiago, calling out to him when he got to him, “What are you doing?”

“Nothing.”

With that, he turned around and continued walking. Jacky really couldn’t tell what Santiago was doing, only that he was in a bad mood.

For the first time, he had a feeling Santiago was about to die.

“Let’s have a meal. We can find someplace warm.”

“No, I’m going to your loft. Don’t tell anyone. If my brother asks, just tell him that I’ve gone back. Don’t follow me either.”

When Santiago was heading to the loft, he lost his footing entering the door and fell to the ground; he turned over and laid motionless there, facing the roof. The cold wind poured in from outside as the door was still open, but he had never moved since lying still.

When Jacky went over, Santiago’s face looked pallid, and he quickly helped Santiago to his feet. He carried him to the loft and immediately took off Santiago’s clothes. He ordered someone to turn the heater up, but the pipe was frozen and cracked to their dismay; they couldn’t get some heat even if they wanted to.

Jacky then carried Santiago down to another loft.

When he reached the other side, Jacky threw Santiago into a hot tub. Inside, the hot water was constantly exchanged. Santiago leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, not making a single sound. Jacky had no choice but to call Xanthus. However, he did not tell him Santiago was ill but Logan.

On his journey, Xanthus thought the direction was off and immediately knew it wasn’t Logan who needed help, and sure enough, he was right.

Santiago laid motionlessly in bed. When Jacky saw Xanthus, he immediately said, “He’s been like this the whole time. He wouldn’t open his eyes or speak or even respond to my questions. He told me not to tell Jepherson he’s here, so I had to call you.”

Xanthus put his medical kit down and immediately walked toward Santiago. He took out the flashlight and examined Santiago’s eyes first. After confirming that he was still fine, he checked his temperature. Xanthus didn’t have any medicine with him, so he asked Jacky to get them.

“Because of Raeleigh?” When Jacky went to retrieve the medicine, Xanthus sat down and asked Santiago. Santiago wouldn’t say a thing nor even open his eyes.

Seeing he wouldn’t get an answer out of Santiago after a long time, he got up and took a sip of water.

Then turned to him and said, “Now that things have come to this, you should let go.”

After that, Xanthus went outside. Santiago winced and pursed his lips. He did not open his eyes, but a drop of tear flowed out from the corner of his eyes.

When Xanthus returned, Santiago was still lying motionlessly and unresponsive in bed. Jacky handed the medicine to Xanthus; he first gave Santiago a shot of antipyretics before starting an IV drip.

However, Santiago didn’t wake up either, looking asleep, but he was sweating profusely later.

When Raeleigh called Xanthus to ask when he would be back for dinner, he was worried about Santiago’s condition. If the fever didn’t subside, it could cause some serious damage to his brain.

“I am outside. There are signs of infection from Logan’s surgery; I’m worried about him, so I won’t be going back tonight. You guys eat without me.”

“I see.” Raeleigh hung up the phone. Seeing that Jepherson was still sitting on the sofa, she said, “Let’s eat.”

“I’m not hungry.” He glanced to a side and was stunned for a moment. “Where’s Santiago?”

Raeleigh did not know what to say. “He left this morning. Have you only noticed he’s gone now that it’s dark?”

With a slight frown, Jepherson pulled out his phone and called Santiago. However, Santiago was asleep. Xanthus took a look and handed Santiago’s phone to Jacky when he saw it was Jepherson. However, Jacky fell into a dilemma whether to answer the call as Jepherson was shrewd; things would go south easily if he answered it.

“Santiago, it’s your brother.”

The man who kept his eyes closed the entire day finally opened them and even reached his hand out. To others, it seemed like a miracle.

Santiago took the phone and answered, “What is it?”

“Where are you?” Jepherson asked as he looked at Raeleigh and waved his hand, motioning for her to come to him. She did so, and he pointed to the food. She rolled her eyes at him; why couldn’t he just say so if he wanted to eat?

With that, Raeleigh went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. There were only the two of them, but she had cooked a lot. It seemed that they would have leftovers for breakfast.

“Come over. Raeleigh’s made dinner.”

“You want me to go to Waverly Village from Capital City just for a meal?” Santiago sounded rebellious. Jepherson frowned. “When did you leave?”

“This morning.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You already have a family. Why should I stay? I didn’t even know you got married.”

At that instant, Jepherson’s voice turned cold. “How can I tell you when I don’t know you left?”

Santiago fell silent at that. Jepherson wasn’t angry, but he wasn’t feeling any better either.

“Santiago, come back for dinner.”

“Tomorrow.”

“Definitely?”

“Definitely.”

“Okay then. I’m hanging up.”

“Okay.”

The brothers hung up at the same time. After Santiago put the phone down, he closed his eyes. He was asleep again!NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
