Getting My Ex-wife Back

Raeleigh was not sure whether Flynt would keep his words, but she was feeling extremely tired. She hiked a long way today. Even a normal person would feel tired after an entire day of hiking.

Not long after, Raeleigh fell asleep.

Flynt sat up in bed for a while. He then looked over at Raeleigh before he lay back down on the bed.

When Raeleigh woke up the next morning, she realised that Flynt was already awake.

Raeleigh looked out the window and saw Flynt talking to someone. At this time, Flynt happened to turn around and saw her through the window. He quickly ended his conversation and returned to the room.

“Hey, you’re up!” Flynt said when he entered the room. Raeleigh asked, “Why are you up so early?”

“A year’s plan starts with spring. A day’s plan starts in the morning. You should know that the early bird catches the worm.”

“Your efforts will be rewarded.”

Raeleigh replied. Flynt smiled and said, “It would be great if we keep doing this.”

Raeleigh did not offer a reply. Instead, she asked, “Are we having breakfast here?”

“No, why? Are you hungry?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “No, I was just asking.”

“Alright, come on then. Let’s head out. We need to walk a bit to get breakfast.” Flynt turned around and went out of the room. Raeleigh stared at the sea of flowers in front of her and asked Flynt, “How many flowers do you have here?”

“About a few thousand acres.”

Raeleigh stopped and looked at Flynt strangely when she heard his words. “A few thousand acres?”

“You think that’s a lot?” Flynt did not seem to care at all.

Raeleigh asked, “Aren’t poppies harmful to the soil and the environment?”

“Yes, it is. Basically, the land that poppies grow on can no longer be use to grow any crops due to the toxins in the plant. If we really needed the land to grow something else, then we would have to wait ten years.”

“Ten years?!”

Raeleigh did not expect that poppies had such a negative impact on the environment.

However, what was Flynt planning to do with all these poppies here?

Right now, he has a secret passage between Esterlia and Capital City. He could transport drugs to the country without being caught. In that case, Capital City would fall into his hands.

Jacky was in charge of the two main passageways to Capital City and this was technically the third. This was something that Jacky would not have expected.

At that time, Johan was probably hedging his bet by buying this place.

However, Johan had no use for it. In the end, it was his grandson, Flynt, who found usage for this place.

“Ten years is such a long time. What are the locals going to do then?” Raeleigh asked doubtfully. Flynt said, “This place is vast and rich in resources. We gave them a lot of money, that’s why they are willing to sell this place to us. The money that they have now is enough for them to live a comfortable life for a long time.”

“No wonder.”

Raeleigh sighed inwardly. She wondered whether the locals willingly sold this land to Flynt, but then again, they were offered a lot of money. Even if they did not want to sell the land, with government intervention, they probably did not have any other option but to sell it.

After all, these people weren’t fools. Raeleigh was sure that the locals here knew that opium could be extracted from poppy flowers.

However, she wondered why did Flynt buy up all these lands just to plant poppy?

Raeleigh followed Flynt to their breakfast spot. It was clean and comfortable there. Everyone was doing their own thing. When they arrived, Flynt led her inside to a table where they served some of the local delicacies. After breakfast, Raeleigh decided to take a stroll around the place.

This place was huge. Raeleigh had no idea how she managed to hike all the way to this place.

Even if she decided to leave now, she wasn’t sure whether she’ll be able to find her way out.

After walking around for a while, Flynt brought her back to the room. Flynt had a discussion with his men about the long term condition of poppy, while Raeleigh sat aside and watched them.

Raeleigh soon got bored and decided to go out and explore the place. She wanted to find an escape route.

Raeleigh stood at a spot and looked at the direction which she had come from. Last time she went to prison and this time, she had crossed a border illegally. She bet that this would not have crossed Jepherson’s mind at all.

This was all her fault. If she did not leave the house, then nothing would happen.

All of a sudden, Raeleigh felt a wave of regret washed over her.

Flynt watched Raeleigh from afar. He raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him. Then he raised his hand and called someone over. He whispered something in the person’s ear. The person looked at Flynt and asked, “Do we really have to do this?”

Flynt nodded. Then, the man turned around and quickly walked away.

Raeleigh then turned around, intending to head back to the room. However, when she saw that Flynt had no expression on his face, she immediately rushed towards him. By the time she arrived by Flynt’s side, he yelled with his eyes wide open, “Raeleigh…”

Flynt swoop Raeleigh into his arms and turned around. With a bang, he fell to the ground.

Raeleigh did not know how to react. She hurried over to Flynt who was on the ground. She knelt on the ground and looked at him, his hands trembling as gripped her hand tightly.

Raeleigh frowned deeply. “Are you alright?”

The loud noise alerted the people around them. Soon, someone came over and quickly examined Flynt. He announced that Flynt had been shot.

Raeleigh followed Flynt as he was being carried into the hall surrounded by the crowd.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Soon a doctor arrived. Raeleigh saw the bullet lodged behind his back with her own eyes.

At this time, there were a lot of people working around Flynt, trying to save his life. Raeleigh stood opposite him and watched him until he was put under general anesthesia.

Flynt’s surgery took several hours. Raeleigh was about to fall asleep by the time it was done.

Someone came to inform Raeleigh that the surgery was done and that he was stable now. He told her that she could go in and visit him. Raeleigh stood up and entered the room, but Flynt had yet to regain consciousness.

The room finally quieted down. It was only the two of them in the room.

Raeleigh pondered whether she should make her escape right now.

After all, it all happened so suddenly. Raeleigh found it strange and that was why she was hesitating at the moment.

As it was late at night, Raeleigh looked at the guards who were dozing outside. Then, she stood up and walked to the door. She knocked on the door and said, “I need to use the toilet.”

The guard then looked around and brought Raeleigh to the toilet. After that, Raeleigh went back to the room and waited for Flynt to wake up.

Raeleigh had no idea what she ate wrong and had to keep going to the toilet. She used the opportunity to scout around and find her escape route. In the end, she finally managed to make her escape at dawn.

Raeleigh made her way back to the border according to the way that she had come. However, it took her quite awhile as she had to avoid bumping into Flynt’s men. When she finally arrived at the border, she did not know whether she would get into trouble for trying to cross back into Capital City. However, she decided to give it a try anyways.

At this time, there were blood dripping from Raeleigh’s legs and arms. She was pricked by the thorns of some flowers when she had to hide away from Flynt’s men.

Just as she walked, someone approached Raeleigh with a flashlight. Raeleigh raised her hand to cover her eyes. Then, she slowly lifted her head up to meet the person in front of her. All of a sudden, she understood everything!
