Getting My Ex-wife Back

Whether he was in his right mind or had lost his mind, no one could make Jacky alter his decision, not even Deanna. After a night, Deanna resigned and decided not to meddle. The doctors continued to nurse Santiago back to health by giving him the most effective medicine and he made promising progress.

Besides, Raeleigh made some health tonics for Santiago personally.

She bestirred herself at four or five o’clock in the morning and began to make soup using the ingredients she had purchased. When the soup was ready, she woke Santiago up to have it.

Santiago seemed to be deprived of strength. Not long after he rose, he continued to sleep. Raeleigh could only sit beside to accompany him. The same routine went on for more than ten days. Only then did Santiago come down from the attic. Then, he brought Raeleigh to the hospital in Waverly Village right away.

“What are we coming here?” Raeleigh stood outside the hospital with a baffled expression. She first sized up Santiago, thinking that he had been recovering very quickly. Now that he was all right, there was no need for them to come to the hospital. Although it had only been a dozen days, Santiago had gained weight. He didn’t appear to be frail anymore. He was back to his original physical state.

Raeleigh suddenly had a feeling that there was good about vegetative patients: they recuperated faster than patients with other illnesses after coming to life once again, and all they needed was just nutrition.

Santiago darted a glance at Raeleigh and walked into the hospital to look for the neurologists.

Raeleigh was brought into the consulting room. Santiago sat down and pushed Raeleigh’s hand out, asking, “Tell me the result. Is there any way to cure it?”

Raeleigh’s left hand had been disabled. Santiago had known this since forever.

The doctors shook their heads. “There’s no miracle.”

The miracle had taken place once before, but Raeleigh didn’t cherish it. Since she didn’t nourish herself well enough, her arm was disabled.

Raeleigh withdrew her hand and moved it. She could do anything with it, but she couldn’t sustain it for a long time, such as holding a ruler. Hence, she couldn’t draw lines, nor could she design the blueprints.

Santiago leaned against the seat. “I can throw all of you out of here.”

The people around fell silent as there was nothing they could do, even if Santiago killed them all.

After a dozen minutes of silence, Raeleigh stood up and exited the room first.

By the time Santiago went out, Raeleigh was looking down from the rooftop of the hospital.

Standing there, she could have a bird’s-eye view around Waverly Village.

This village indeed offered a great aesthetic appeal, especially when there was a nip in the air in early spring.

Raeleigh observed a spot absentmindedly. Santiago stopped behind her, and she said, “Actually, my current condition is fine by me. At least, your brother won’t force me to do anything I dislike.”

“You aren’t living for my brother. You are living for yourself. Why should you give up your talent?”

“What about you? Aren’t you living for someone else?”

Raeleigh turned around, whereas Santiago sat still motionlessly. He did not speak but focused his eyes on the people around the hospital. Since it was Xanthus’s hospital, Raeleigh did not want to create troubles here.

“Let’s go. We can talk after we’re back.” Raeleigh hauled Santiago forcefully. Exiting the hospital, Raeleigh intended to go back, but Santiago asked Jacky to give him a car. Afterward, he drove her out.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Santiago took Raeleigh for examination in each hospital in the whole Capital City. Every time, the doctors would shake their heads. Later, an older doctor told Santiago that if he wanted Raeleigh cured, the last hope was to look for a shaman. She could receive a healing ritual from the shaman.

Santiago left the hospital and returned to the village with Raeleigh.

When they went back, Jepherson was outside the village. However, he couldn’t enter, so he could only stand outside.

Seeing him, Raeleigh was also very surprised. She had not seen Jepherson for more than half a month, but he came suddenly.

He got out of the car and stared at Raeleigh. His car was parked at the entrance of the village. If Raeleigh did not walk through it, she would not be able to enter Waverly Village.

“Have you recovered?” When they met, Jepherson asked Santiago first. He sized up Santiago with his dark eyes. Santiago did not answer, but his posture and demeanor had spoken for themselves.

“Go back with me today. I’ve something for you.” Jepehrson stretched out his hand to tug at Raeleigh. Raeleigh didn’t dodge it, but Santiago had extended his hand to block them.

Jepherson’s hand paused momentarily, and he raised his head slowly to glare at Santiago, who replied, “Don’t do it in front of me. I don’t want to fight with you.”

“Can you beat me?” Jepherson’s face was full of gloom. Raeleigh didn’t like to see him in such state. So, she pulled Santiago and said, “Enough, let’s go.”

Turning around, Raeleigh went into the village. Their car was left at the village entrance because Jepherson’s car had stood in the way. Anyway, someone would send it back to them eventually.

Jepherson watched all this from afar until the two of them went inside.

Jacky came forward and Santiago went to the front yard with him. The two of them chatted for a while. By the time Raeleigh went over, Santiago had already gone back to prepare his luggage.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going out.”

“For a long journey?”

“That’s right.”

“You’ve just recuperated. Why are you setting off for a long journey at this time? Can’t you wait a few more days?”

“I can’t.”

Taking his suitcase, Santiago went out instantly. There was a car outside the door, where Jacky was sitting inside. Seeing Santiago come out, he emerged from it and opened the door for him. Following that, he walked to the trunk and Santiago threw his suitcase to him. He placed it in the trunk and was ready to get into the car.

Raeleigh, on the other hand, was pushed into the car by Santiago. Subsequently, Jacky directly sent them to the airport.

Raeleigh asked with confusion, “Where on earth are we heading for?”

“You’ll know it when you get there.”

Embarking the plane, Santiago started to rest. Traumatized by his previous coma, she constantly checked on him and held his hand tightly.

Finally, the plane landed. Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Santiago, who had not risen. She called him several times before he woke up.

He still looked haggard when he opened his eyes, but his smile was as bright as ever.

Raeleigh intended to withdraw her hand as it irked her to think of how he took a perverse pleasure in teasing her.

However, Santiago held her hand, grinning.

Raeleigh knew that each of them was like a flower, but all of them could not grin like this. There was a dreamlike quality to this smile of his.

“Pardon me for interrupting, but why didn’t you deplane?”

The flight attendant came to inquire. Perceiving the affectionate look in their eyes, she thought Santiago was proposing to Raeleigh and Raeleigh was so touched that she was about to break into tears.

The attendant was willing to give this couple some time for the sacred moment, so she smiled at them. Of course, it was customary for her to maintain her smile in front of all passengers, but she was actually happy for them.

Santiago chuckled, “I’m uncomfortable and I’ve frightened her. Thank you for your concern.”

After standing up, Santiago helped Raeleigh get up elegantly. He took the luggage and went down while holding Raeleigh’s hand.

Raeleigh was brought out of the plane in such a way.
