Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Still, your words are harsh.” Raeleigh had never seen anyone who would say something like that.

“Even if I’m not mean, would they be fine? They would even go as far as to sell their body in exchange for money. Why would I need to pity them when they live only for luxury and want everything for nothing?”

“Still, it doesn’t mean you should say things like that. How sad would their parents feel to lose their children.”

“I can only say they’re unlucky.” Jepherson turned back to the computer. Raeleigh then understood; it was useless to talk any sense into people like him.

Raeleigh put down the magazine in her hand and walked to the window, where she could see the whole city.

Hence it was her favorite spot.

Leaning on the sofa, Jepherson stared at Raeleigh’s slender back. “I’m going to the hospital for an examination later.”

Immediately, Raeleigh turned to look at Jepherson. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Just a premarital checkup.” Jepherson’s eyes were fathomless. Raeleigh suddenly recalled how moody he had been lately and how upset he was when he first found out her period had come. Although he didn’t direct them at her, she could tell he was in a bad mood.

Raeleigh thought for a moment. “Do you want me to have a check too?”

“Yes.”

Raeleigh was silent for a while before turning her gaze back out to the city. Frankly, she did not want to do the checkup as she was a little scared.

The office soon fell silent. Neither of them continued the topic, nor did anyone speak. But the plan to get a checkup didn’t change.

Raeleigh took a shower in the evening before going to bed but was restless. Jepherson hugged her from behind. “Nervous?”

She didn’t answer but turned around and leaned into his arms the whole night.

It wasn’t until in the morning that she dozed off.

But Jepherson still woke her up at seven.

Bleary, she took a look at him and got out of bed to get ready to head to the hospital with him.

After the examination, the doctor told Jepherson, “There is nothing unusual, but there is a little bit of contraceptive in your wife’s blood.”

The doctor said it to Jepherson in front of Raeleigh. Jepherson tightened his grip on the test result and looked at Raeleigh; she stood up and said to the doctor, “He knows.”

With that, she walked out of the hospital. Jepherson said a few words to the doctor before he followed Raeleigh out.

March was the best time of the year as the weather was nice and warm.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As the saying goes, a day’s plan lies in the early morning, and a year’s plan lies in the spring.

Out of the hospital, Raeleigh stood at the entrance and glanced around. When Jepherson came out, she merely stood rooted to the spot.

Jepherson walked to her and asked, “Why?”

As Raeleigh didn’t say anything, Jepherson tugged on her and said, “Answer me.”

However, Raeleigh did not turn around, only staring at the people walking in and out of the hospital and the moving vehicles. “I’ve already crossed my line by marrying you behind my parents’ back. I can’t get pregnant again. I had a child, but I failed to keep it.”

“Although we love each other, there are still too many uncertainties between us. The Richards family wouldn’t accept me easily. I don’t have to worry with your grandfather around, but the Doyle family is still the biggest threat between us. Plus, the Moore family is also breathing down our necks. There are worries all over the Capital City.”

“I won’t carry your child at a time like this. How can I protect him when I can’t even protect myself?”

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, and he said, “I can protect you both.”

“You can’t; you can’t even protect Xanthus. How can you protect me? Stella’s a ticking bomb that can explode anytime, anywhere; I won’t give her a chance to hurt me.”

“Nor will I have a baby when I don’t know if my parents agree to our marriage.”

Raeleigh had learned her lesson, and she would not be so stupid this time.

Jepherson’s face was cold. “You still remember the child we had?”

She said nothing, but her eyes turned red. How could she forget the pain?

Raeleigh turned around and swallowed hard.

Jepherson hugged Raeleigh from behind. His impetuous heart gradually calmed down as he kissed her. “Okay, we’ll have a child after everything is settled.”

Raeleigh nodded but did not speak.

A thought came to him, and he asked, “What medicine are you taking?”

Raeleigh turned to him. “Haven’t you noticed I look better lately?”

Jepherson lowered his head and asked, “You’ve gotten thinner?”

“I wish.” humored, Raeleigh said as she looked at her breast. Jepherson frowned. “Is it not because of me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Because I kept massaging them.”

“Can you be serious?” With a huff, Raeleigh turned away.

Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms and measured her breasts with his hand. In a trice, Raeleigh grabbed them and warned. “If you keep this up, I’m going to snap at you.”

Thus, Jepherson withdrew his hands and brought Raeleigh back into the hospital.

When he found the doctor, Jepherson asked if the medicine Raeleigh took had any side effects.

“Mrs. Richards’s contraceptive is the most common one in the market. But I don’t suggest you take them before you’ve given birth. It’s best to use condoms rather than taking pills; it’ll be better for your fertility in the future.”

Standing aside, Jepherson arched his eyebrows and turned to look at Raeleigh, “I asked the pharmacist, and they said it was the safest.” She said in defense.

“All medicine has side effects. Mrs. Richards’s good complexion has something to do with the medication, and the biggest gain from this kind of medicine is that at the early stages, the skin will be smooth, and the face will be ruddy. You’ll be more needy than usual in your sexual life…”

Raeleigh blushed and said nothing.

But the doctor didn’t care and continued to talk to Jepherson, “However, long-term usage will cause mutation in the pituitary gland in the brain. There will be more saliva in your mouth, and your face will be flushed; there will even be symptoms of night sweats and infertility. Hence, I don’t recommend consuming this pill.”

Jepherson gritted her teeth. “So using a condom is the best solution?”

“Yes.”

“What about now? Does she need to be hospitalized?” Jepherson was taking the matter seriously. The doctor shook his head and said, “No need. Mrs. Richards has only been taking it for a short time, so there wouldn’t be any side effects. If she stops taking it this month, she’ll be fine in a few days.”

“Noted, thank you, Doctor.”

“Not at all, Mr. Richards.”

Jepherson nodded.

After the doctor left, Jepherson turned to Raeleigh, staring at her with a threatening gaze. “Scared now?”

Raeleigh refuted, “The people in the pharmacy really did tell me that it’s safe.”

“They would say that to anyone to sell medicine, and you took their word for it?”

Raeleigh did not answer but looked around her. There were too many people, so she didn’t want to argue with him.

With that, she headed out and got into the car directly.

Naturally, Jepherson looked awful as he came out of the hospital. However, the tension instantly disappeared after he got into the car.
