Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh did not have dinner. Santiago hadn’t prepared any food anyway. The doctor gave Raeleigh a nutrient injection, which was enough to stop Raeleigh from feeling hungry.

Raeleigh felt like using the washroom after drinking some water.

Thus, she got out of bed and walked in the direction of the washroom. After she had barely taken a few steps, Santiago went up to her and carried her into the bathroom. Caught off-guard, Raeleigh stood inside, stunned. She looked at Santiago across the threshold. His stubble had grown over the past two days. He said, “I’ll wait for you outside.”

Raeleigh said nothing. There was nothing to say.

Raeleigh closed the door and stayed inside for a while. That was the only place she did not have to see Santiago.

A few moments later, Santiago knocked on the door. “Can I come in?”

Santiago pushed the door open and entered the bathroom even before Raeleigh answered him.

When Santiago saw that Raeleigh had washed her hands and was ready to go outside, he approached her and was about to pick her up when she exclaimed “Don’t touch me!”

Sure enough, Santiago stopped in his tracks. Raeleigh exited the bathroom and went back to her bed to lie down. She did not say a single word to Santiago for the rest of the night.

She didn’t even look at him.

Santiago stayed up the entire night and watched as Raeleigh slept.

The next morning, Raeleigh woke up feeling completely recovered. As she felt healthy again, she wanted to be discharged.

“Miss Raeleigh, if you leave the hospital now, the chances of you having the same reaction as last night are high. If you relapse, it’s going to be very difficult to treat it.”

The doctor’s suggestion was from a professional point of view. However, Raeleigh wanted to leave the hospital due to personal reasons.

“I’m fine now, I’m sure. Rest assured, you don’t need to take any responsibility in the event anything happens.” Raeleigh wanted to go back home. Since Zorion had Rossie to take care of him, she felt that it was the appropriate thing to do.

“Miss Raeleigh, you have to be considerate of the people around you. If you leave the hospital and come into contact with your family, they might get infected with the virus. When that happens, it’ll be too late.”

That managed to convince Raeleigh. She immediately decided to stay in the hospital as the last thing she wanted was for her parents and Xanthus to be infected.

Raeleigh spent the entire day in bed. When night fell, she had regained her appetite somewhat.

Her dinner was prepared by Rossie, who rejoiced at seeing that Raeleigh was finally eating again.

“Raeleigh, eat up. I made a lot of food.”

Rossie kept Raeleigh company for dinner while Santiago accompanied Zorion at the latter’s request.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Although Raeleigh was eating again, she still wasn’t able to eat much.

“I’m not very hungry. I’m sorry to have troubled you.”

“Don’t act so gracious with me. It’s only right for us to help each other.” Rossie was a chatterbox. The sole reason she had been so quiet before was because Zorion had worn her down.

Raeleigh smiled. She was particularly silent for the past two days.

While they were eating, Raeleigh received a call from Jepherson. She answered the call, informing Rossie that she would head out for a while.

“Do you miss me?” Jepherson immediately asked with a smile after Raeleigh picked up. He spoke in a husky, affectionate tone.

Raeleigh looked around the corridor and asked, “Have you gone to work yet?”

“No, for the past few days, I’ve been busy helping with Hadrian’s wedding preparations.” That was also why Jepherson had not come to visit her.

Waverly Village was already decorated festively for the wedding. Hansen and his wife were already there, too. Scarlette wanted the wedding to be held as soon as possible, so anywhere was fine for her. She didn’t fuss over it.

Hadrian informed Jepherson about the whole affair. So, all the while, Jepherson had been at Waverly Village helping out with the wedding preparations.

In fact, there was nothing that urgently required his help. However, since Raeleigh’s parents were there, Jepherson did his best to spend time with them.

Raeleigh was surprised. However, the atmosphere in Waverly Village was nice. She could see how Scarlette decided to take advantage of the free time they had to hold the wedding.

“When is it?”

“It’s on the 16th of this month.”

Raeleigh briefly looked at the calendar and remarked, “That’s in ten days’ time!”

“Yes, ten days.”

“What gift should I get for her?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. If you have any suggestions, let me know.”

“Alright. Will you be coming over to see me anytime soon?”

“I might not have the time. Santiago hasn’t called me for the past two days. Did you guys have a fall out again?”

Raeleigh was silent. She did not want to lie to Jepherson; Jepherson knew far more than he let on. Besides, she knew that he was waiting for her to tell him the truth.

“A couple days ago, I was attacked at the hospital on my way to visit Zorion,” Raeleigh confessed suddenly. Jepherson was silent for a while. He had no idea.

“Hello, are you still there?” Raeleigh repeated. Jepherson answered, “Yes, I am. What happened after that? Did you get hurt?”

“No. I met Flynt. He helped me. Later, when the police came, we sat down and talked for a while. When Santiago saw us talking, he was furious. I think he misunderstood. He punched Flynt.”

“I wanted to stop him, but he pushed me down onto the chair. My ribs were injured and subsequently I caught the flu. I had to be hospitalized after that. I’ve been ignoring Santiago ever since.”

Raeleigh told Jepherson the whole story. On the other end, Jepherson frowned, although he kept his tone gentle. “Santiago did not tell me any of this. How are you feeling now?”

“I’m fine now. I wanted to be discharged, but the doctor suggested I stay out of concern that my family will get infected too.”

Raeleigh felt downhearted. She lowered her head as she spoke.

“I’ll be right there,” said Jepherson.

“No, don’t… ”

Before Raeleigh was even done talking, Jepherson had already hung up. He quickly rushed out of the house. Just then, Hansen and Jenna were in the kitchen making dinner. When Jenna saw her son dashing out of the house in a hurry, she asked, “Jerry, where are you going?”

“Something came up. I will not be coming back tonight.”

Jepherson got into the car and went straight to the hospital where Raeleigh was. Jenna stood at the door, holding a spatula as she watched the car disappearing into the distance.

“Why was he in such a hurry to leave?”

“Perhaps it’s something to do with Raeleigh. He wouldn’t get so flustered for anyone else.”

Hansen pulled his beloved wife into the house and they began eating their dinner.

He much preferred spending time alone with his wife.

Raeleigh put down her phone and went back into her room. Not long after she got into bed, Jepherson arrived at the door of the ward. Raeleigh looked at the time. An hour had passed since they last talked. Although an hour was a long time for her, Jepherson looked like he had hurried over as soon as possible.

Jepherson pushed the door open and went in. He felt a little disconcerted when he saw Raeleigh.

“I’ve recovered.” Raeleigh took a look at herself, insinuating to Jepherson that she was completely fine.

However, Jepherson’s face remained pale. After sitting down, he pulled Raeleigh into his arms and held her.

He caressed her back and said, “I’m sorry.”

Raeleigh paused for a moment. “What’s there to be sorry about? It wasn’t not your fault that I got sick.”

Jepherson did not answer. His hand kept tenderly stroking Raeleigh’s back. Raeleigh pushed him away and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m scared!” Jepherson pulled Raeleigh into his arms again and held her tight. He rested his chin on Raeleigh’s shoulder. “I did not expect Flynt to show up.”

Raeleigh hugged Jepherson and asked, “Do you not believe that Flynt could change for the better?”

Jepherson did not answer; his silence was enough to tell her that he didn’t believe that at all.

Raeleigh was about to say something in response, but when she looked up, she saw Santiago standing at the door. When Santiago saw Raeleigh staring at her, he turned around and walked away. Raeleigh told Jepherson, “Santiago’s outside.”

Only then did Jepherson let go of Raeleigh. Following that, he stood up and opened the door. However, Santiago was nowhere to be seen.
