Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jepherson took a seat outside the ward and said, “I have something to discuss with Jacky and Zorion. Why don’t the two of you head home first?”

Deanna nodded, then stood up and extended her hand out to Rossie, “Come on, let’s go home first.”

Rossie also stood up and followed Deanna to the elevator. She was completely familiar with the way. In Rossie’s eyes, those were men’s issues and there was no need for them to be involved. This point was clear and unanimous.

Most importantly, they did not want to be involved because they had no opinion.

Deanna and Rossie entered the elevator, followed by two men.

Once Deanna and Rossie were out of earshot, Jepherson told Jacky and Zorion that he found out that Flynt was planting poppies in Esterlia.

Jacky stood opposite. He seemed very calm, but he was surprised when he heard Jepherson’s word. He never thought that Flynt had to guts to do such thing. If Flynt was indeed growing poppies and smuggling them into the country, then the Moore family would soon disappear from Capital City.

Zorion sat on one side, staring blankly at a spot while smiling, “Why can’t he be good for once? It looks like the Moore family will disappear from now on.”

Jepherson said, “Flynt should be back in Capital City by now, but I doubt he would admit anything if we confronted him. If he doesn’t want to admit it, it’s fine. However, he would need to offer an explanation to his customers because we set his poppy field on fire. I doubt he will be able to deliver the goods now. What do you guys think?”

“Does this mean that we don’t need to catch him now? We’ll just have to keep an eye on him?”

Zorion asked. Jepherson said, “I mean, this is also a good opportunity. It depends on what you want to do.”

Jepherson stood up and returned. Jacky said, “I don’t think the Whalen family should interfere with this matter. We don’t want others to think that you’re stealing the spoils of war.”

Zorion just smiled. “Well, since the government is involved, then I wouldn’t want to get involved.”

Zorion stood up. “I’m happy to have peace as well.”

Zorion turned around and made his way to the elevator.

After Zorion left, Jacky also left. At this moment, Jepherson briefly glanced towards the door before entering the ward. He took a seat by Raeleigh’s bedside.

“Raeleigh should be fine. Why don’t you go and get some rest?” Jepherson said. After that, Lucy stood up and went outside. She closed the door behind her and looked along the corridor.

Stuart was currently sitting outside. Lucy then took a seat beside him.

The two did not talk much. They just leaned against each other and fell asleep.

Inside the ward, Jepherson held Raeleigh’s hand. She looked like a mummy right now and it seemed like she could not move at all.

Raeleigh could feel someone was holding her hand, but she did not open her eyes.

Jepherson sat by her bedside for an entire day while Raeleigh slept. By the time Raeleigh woke up, it was already night time.

When Raeleigh opened her eyes, she saw Jepherson getting an injection.

Raeleigh sat up on the bed. However, Jepherson asked her not to move, so she did not move.

“Are you able to get out of bed?”

Jepherson laughed. “Of course!”

It was not like he had injured his legs and arms.

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson for a while. “I thought you were badly injured.”

“Clearly, your injuries are worse than mine.” Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh. Her entire body was wrapped up like a mummy.

Raeleigh did not say anything.

“You said that Austin took your kid away? Was he already sick when he was born?”

Jepherson sat there and asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh then asked, “Can you please release Cynthia?”

“Is this your terms of exchange?”

“Sort of.”

“Stuart, make the call.”

Jepherson ordered. Stuart dialled Jared’s number before walking over to Jepherson and handing him the phone.

However, Jepherson did not take the phone, instead, Stuart held the phone beside his ear. As soon as Jared answered the phone, Jepherson said, “I want you to send Cynthia over to Xanthus, now!”

After hanging up the phone, Jepherson turned to look at Stuart and said, “Can you please bring Raeleigh’s phone and bag over?”

Stuart briefly glanced at Raeleigh before heading outside. Not long after, Stuart returned with Raeleigh’s belongings. Raeleigh made a call to Xanthus, who informed her that Cynthia was already with him.

Raeleigh stared at her cellphone and then at Jepherson. “The child is already dead. I lied to you because I didn’t want you to die in the forest.”

The atmosphere in the room was tense at this moment.

Jepherson stared coldly at Raeleigh and then asked, “Do you think I will believe you?”

Raeleigh said, “It’s up to you whether to believe me, but I’m telling the truth. I can’t do anything if you refuse to believe me.”

“You asked me to release Cynthia and I did. Now, you went back on your words! Why do you have to play with me like this?”

“The child is dead…”

“Why do you keep cursing him?”

Jepherson cut Raeleigh off before she could finish her sentence. Raeleigh closed her mouth and looked at the window, “The baby was born sick. I am not cursing him. It’s the truth.

My brain tumour ruptured while I was giving birth. I wanted to protect the baby. I told my brother to save the baby, but the baby was barely hanging on by a thread.

My brother told me that the baby was born sick and it wasn’t because my brain tumor ruptured.

Deep down, I knew the baby got sick because of me.”

Tears started rolling down Raeleigh’s cheeks. She wiped them away with her bandaged hand.

Jepherson stared deeply at Raeleigh’s pale and helpless face.

“Is he mine?”

This sentence was full of vicissitudes. Even Stuart and Lucy were exceptionally quiet. Raeleigh shook her head. She refused to admit it.

Jepherson sneered, “If you refuse to admit it, it means that the child is still alive. Raeleigh, trust me, I will find the child, even if it means that I have to turn the entire planet upside down, I will find the child!

And I know the baby isn’t a boy. It’s a girl.”

Raeleigh froze for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Jepherson.

She nearly wanted to ask how he knew, but she bit her tongue.

Jepherson waved his hand to signal Stuart and Lucy to leave. After they left, Jepherson said, “I have a feeling that she is still alive. I will find her and make sure we’ll never be apart ever again.”

“Do whatever you want.”

“…..”

Suddenly, the ward became quiet. Raeleigh just sat in bed and did not speak. The following days in the ward, Jepherson was more quiet than usual.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He watched TV and read books during the day then he would rest at night.

Raeleigh occasionally looked at Jepherson as if he had grew an extra pair of eyes on his face. Even in the middle of the night, Jepherson knew that Raeleigh was looking at him.

Especially now.

Raeleigh woke up and looked over at Jepherson. She did not mean to look, but she was caught.

“What are you looking at?”

Jepherson opened his eyes and looked at Raeleigh. Raeleigh asked in confusion, “How is it that every time you know that I’m looking at you even though you’re not looking? Were you not sleeping?”

“Your eyes are burning holes through me! Even if I was asleep, I would have been woken up by you!”

Raeleigh was speechless as this was the first time she heard such absurd reason.
