Getting My Ex-wife Back

The security guards came in and dragged Cindy away. Just then, Raeleigh’s phone rang, and everyone turned to look at her. She glanced at the screen and confirmed that it was Jepherson before answering the phone.

“What’s the matter?”

“Can’t I call you for no reason?”

Jepherson laughed, but Raeleigh did not. She did not attempt to hide her feelings. After all, Cindy had already left.

“Since you already promised to let her go, why did you still punish her according to the company’s rules?”

She could not understand why he went back on his word.

Jepherson chuckled and replied, “She asked for it. Since she refuses to give up, we will send her into jail and let her reflect on her mistakes.”

“You ruined her whole life just for a little money. It would be years until she came out of jail. I don’t think it’s appropriate to do this.”

“This matter is non-negotiable.”

Jepherson refused decisively. Raeleigh thought that there was no need to talk further since there was no room for negotiation, so she hung up the phone.

Right after she ended the call, Jared swiftly added, “Petty kindness will only bring harm to yourself and others.”

Raeleigh turned around and hissed, “The world would be a better place if you keep your mouth shut.”

Jared was stunned by the reply. Meanwhile, Raeleigh’s assistant could not help but burst into a fit of giggles, then immediately covered her mouth and kept quiet when she noticed Jared’s cold stare.

Then, Raeleigh stepped into the elevator, and Jared followed suit. As the elevator rose, Jared said, “So I’m a pollutant.”

Raeleigh stood unmoving, her facial expression indifferent. However, she was secretly amused by his smooth reply.

Stepping out of the elevator, she went straight to the office and took a nap on the sofa. At noon, Jared came knocking on the door and called her name but she did not reply. So, he pushed the door open and went in to take a look, only to find her sound asleep on the sofa. Initially, he intended to go and check on her, but at the thought of her mocking him, he turned around and left.

As a result of sleeping in her office without a blanket, Raeleigh caught a cold the next day.

She had been sneezing non-stop since she left her house and Xanthus was worried that she would come down with a high fever. After all, she had undergone surgery before, so her body was still weak. Besides, her immune system was not as good as before, which meant that she might not easily recover from the cold.

Xanthus stopped the car at the roadside and felt Raeleigh’s forehead, but she shook her head and said, “I’m okay.”

Withdrawing his hand, Xanthus reminded, “You should have been more careful. Do you have anything important going on today?”

“What are you planning to do?”

“If there is nothing important, I will give you an injection before you leave.”

Raeleigh’s face grew pale when she heard Xanthus mentioning an injection and she immediately waved her hand in refusal.

Although she was not afraid of needles, it was not a comfortable experience for her either. So she would not agree to it.

“I would be worried if you don’t go now. Please be a good girl and follow me to get the injection. You will feel better after the injection,” Xanthus persuaded.

“I will take some medicine. I really don’t want to go for the injection. Besides, I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon. It’s already ten o’clock now.”

Xanthus couldn’t force Raeleigh either as he also had an appointment with a patient in the afternoon. So, he sent her to her office and watched her enter the building before driving away.

As Raeleigh walked into the office building, Cindy appeared out of nowhere and poured a barrel of gasoline on her body. Raeleigh stood there in shock, her entire body covered with gasoline.

“I’ll burn you to death,” Cindy shouted, then took out a lighter, trying to light a fire to burn Raeleigh.

Raeleigh stared at Cindy. She thought that Jared would stop her in time, but the lighter fell to the ground and lit up a fire.

“Oh my God!”

The people around rushed toward Raeleigh in an instant, and she quickly moved away from the fire. Everyone came to help Raeleigh. Some of them helped subdue Cindy, whereas a few of them helped Raeleigh take off her clothes.

Raeleigh could not move her hands, but fortunately, she removed her coat on time. Otherwise, she would have suffered serious burns.

Later, the people managed to subdue Cindy. They called the police and the police came to take her away.

According to the preliminary evaluation by the police, Cindy was in an unstable mental state due to extreme pressure.

Raeleigh did not bother to find out if that was true. Instead, she went to clean herself up first. When she returned, she stared at Jared, who was sitting outside the office. She was not angry at him because she thought that her safety had nothing to do with him. After all, he was not Jepherson. Even if Jepherson were there, she didn’t think she would be safe either. To put it bluntly, her safety was not up to anyone to decide.

She believed that Jared had done the right thing by not helping her. It was probably futile anyway.

After changing into the staff’s uniform, she returned to the office. Later, she broke into a high fever.

She was alone in the office and she felt cold all over.

Other than that, she still suffered from a headache. It was already two o’clock in the afternoon when she realized that she had a fever. So, she immediately called Xanthus.

Unfortunately, Xanthus did not answer his phone. Her head felt as if it had been split into two and she could not think clearly. She kept calling Xanthus’s number, and finally, someone answered the phone. It was a girl.

When Raeleigh heard someone answering the call, she said at once, “Xanthus, I have a headache. Please come and pick me up.”

The girl paused for a moment, then asked, “Give me your address. I’ll be right there.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Raeleigh’s thoughts were in a blur and she could not hear the person clearly. She only heard the word ‘address’.

“Bloom Aksea Group. I’m in the office.”

The girl set out to find Raeleigh while answering the phone. By the time she arrived, Raeleigh was still in the office. An ambulance just outside Raeleigh’s company building. Then, a few people came out of the vehicle.

The security guards were confused and they blocked the incoming visitors when they saw the ambulance. However, the girl told the guard that she was Raeleigh’s sister-in-law.

Upon hearing her relationship with Raeleigh, none of the security guards dared to stop her. The girl took the people upstairs and arrived at Raeleigh’s office door. Raaeleigh’s assistant was surprised to see them but opened the door in a hurry upon hearing that Raeleigh was suffering a serious headache.

At this time, Raeleigh had already fainted because of her headache.

“Hurry up.”

The paramedics followed Maverly’s instructions and carried Raeleigh downstairs into the ambulance. They then sent her to the hospital.

When Raeleigh woke up, Xanthus had already arrived. He swung his fist at Jared and punched him when he saw him, causing Jared to stumble backward.

“You should leave.”

Xanthus entered the ward after hitting Jared. Jared stood outside, staring into the room. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

“Raeleigh.” Xanthus came to Raeleigh’s side as soon as he entered the ward. Raeleigh said immediately upon seeing his arrival, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Then why are you here?” Xanthus seemed upset, but he breathed a sigh of relief as he sat down.

“Thank God Maverly heard your call. Otherwise, I would blame myself if something really happened to you.” Xanthus’s largest goal in his life was to find Raeleigh and protect her well, but he had failed to protect her.

“Who is Maverly?” Raeleigh asked.
