Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1619 Injured

Belle turned around to face Calvin. "But you must be tired."

Ever since the incident with Santiago, she noticed that her husband had aged a lot. It seemed like he

had completely changed into a different person. He slept poorly at night yet he would wake up Tristany

the next day. This was all because of what happened to his son.

Belle wanted to say something to comfort Calvin but she couldn't find the words.

Calvin held Belle in his arms. "We're already on this earth. The only way we leave is when we die."

"Do you still remember when we were young?"

"Do you remember how many storms we went through to see the rainbow?"

"Everyone has their own path. We learn from our experiences."

Belle raised her hand and held Calvin. "Sometimes, I feel that there is something wrong with you. You

obviously don't like this kind of life. I know that you want a free life, yet..."

"You want to stay in this hell hole. I don't know whether to call you a narcissist or insane for wanting to

stay in this place."

"You often tell Jerry and Santiago that a man should be ambitious but they must be ready to meet gains

or losses with equanimity. In this life, they can give up on anything except for the woman they love."

Calvin smiled, "Saying and doing are two different things. As a father, I'm supposed to teach them right

from wrong. Whether they listen to me is another thing."

"Look at those adults. They teach their children not to fight, but they themselves fight with others."

Raeleigh returned to Fragrance Garden and went straight to Santiago's room. At that time, Xanthus

was standing by the door. He immediately walked up to his sister when he saw her. Before Raeleigh

left, he told her to call him if she needed help. Since then, he had been waiting outside the room.

"You must be tired. Why don't you go and get some rest? Please do not leave this place unless it's

necessary. I don't want Belle to worry. I told her that Jepherson has a cut on his arm and nothing else."

"I'm a doctor. I know what to say."

After that, Xanthus went back to his room.

After Xanthus left, Raeleigh went back to her room to pack some clothes before heading back to

Santiago's room. When she entered the room, she realized that there was an extra bed there. She

immediately knew that Jepherson must have asked someone to set it up for her.

Raeleigh placed her bags by the side of the bed. She figured that it would take a few days for

Jepherson to recover, so she knew she had no choice but to stay.

Raeleigh took out her pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Then she blew dry her

hair before coming out of the bathroom. After that, she decided to check on Jepherson.

When she realized that he was already asleep, she arranged the covers around him and check on

Santiago before going to bed.

Raeleigh did not know whether it was because she was exhausted or something else, but she fell

asleep very quickly. That night, she dreamed of Santiago. In that dream, they were bickering while

eating ice cream.

He even asked her whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

Raeleigh sat on the beach in a daze and Santiago appeared out of nowhere. Raeleigh was enjoying

the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore when Santiago suddenly appeared in front of her and

handed her an ice cream. However, she told him that she could not eat it because she was pregnant.

Santiago was not surprised. In the end, he ate both the ice creams.

Raeleigh looked at Santiago as if she knew that this was a dream. She asked Santiago what he was

doing there instead of being in the hospital?

Santiago's face was full of amusement. "Don't you want to see me?"

Raeleigh smiled without saying anything and continued watching the waves. Santiago then asked her,

"Are you having a boy or a girl?"

Raeleigh slowly turned her head towards Santiago. "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"A boy."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. "But he prefers to have a girl."

"Ha! I'm not surprised since he's such a playboy. They say a daughter is her father's lover from his past

life while sons are their father's rivals in love. That is why fathers and sons always bicker while

daughters can never get along with their mothers."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago. "Why do you want this baby to be a boy? Are you afraid that his life would

be too dull?"

"No, I'm afraid that he would not be able to recognize his own child because if this baby is a boy, it'll

definitely look like him."

Raeleigh woke up crying. When she opened her eyes, she quickly wiped her tears away before sitting This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

up.

Jepherson closed his eyes slowly. He had already woken up, but when he saw Raeleigh open her

eyes, he quickly closed them.

He really wanted to know why she was crying, but he knew he would not have the chance to ask.

Raeleigh got up and immediately went to change out of her pajamas. Then, she went to check on

Santiago to make sure that he was fine before heading outside to ask the servants to prepare

breakfast. By the time she returned to the room, Jepherson was already awake. So, she went to fetch

some water and helped Jepherson to wipe his body.

Jepherson sat on the bed and watched as Raeleigh wiped him. "If it were someone else, would you still

be so kind to me?"

"Nope, no one will get this kind of treatment."

Raeleigh lowered her head and continued to wipe Jepherson. Then, she took out a clean white shirt

before taking off the shirt that he was currently wearing and helped him put on the clean shirt. Raeleigh

seemed to notice that the bandages on his body were a little tight, so she asked, "Do you feel

uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine. I'm used to it."

Raeleigh raised her head, "You don't regularly get injured, so how can you get used to it?"

Jepherson smiled without saying anything. There were many things that she did not know.

Raeleigh took out a fresh pair of underwear and a pair of pants for Jepherson. She then lifted the quilt

and helped Jepherson change.

During that time, both of them were very quiet. Although things were a little awkward, neither of them

spoke.

Once Raeleigh was done, she pulled the quilt over Jepherson's body.

Then, she made her way to Santiago and did the same. However, she suddenly stopped.

Luckily, Xanthus entered the room at that time. Raeleigh looked at him and said, "Can you please help

Santiago to change?"

"Alright."

Xanthus helped Santiago to change while Raeleigh went to the bathroom. It took her a long time before

she finally came out.

Although Raeleigh helped Jepherson wash his clothes she was still blushing furiously.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh as if he had seen a peony that was about to blossom.

After breakfast, she calmly shaved Jepherson's beard and even trimmed his nails.

Once she was done with everything, she decided to pick up a book to read.

The room was silent until Zorion and Rossie came over.

As soon as Zorion entered, he went to see Jepherson first. He would have come by the day before if it

weren't so late already.

Zorion entered then sat down beside Jepherson to examine his wounds. His eyes darkened.

"How did you get hurt?"

"We were ambushed."

"By the Cole family?"

Raeleigh sat on the couch with Rossie.

Jepherson was silent for a moment before saying, "I've already asked Jared to let the word out. There's

going to be another upheaval soon. I'm planning to help Jacky move up the ranks."

Zorion frowned slightly. "Wait, what? You want to help Jacky?"

"That's right."

"No way."

Zorion immediately rejected.

Raeleigh watched them closely, so did Rossie. The two women did not speak and their minds held their

own thoughts. Jacky was Deanna's husband, so why did Zorion reject Jepherson's proposal?

Did it mean that Zorion was willing to support others instead of Jacky?

Jepherson asked, "Is this your idea or Mr. Atkinson's?"

"It's the Atkinson family's."

No one said a word.

Jepherson did not speak immediately. When he spoke, he was firm and did not allow refute.

"Jacky wants to move up the ranks. Santiago and I agreed on this before. I'm the only person who can

make it happen."

Zorion's brows were currently locked in a deep frown.
