Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1064 Can't Be Released on Bail

Raeleigh closed the file and tried to recall who was missing.

Raeleigh remembered that in those days, except for the children, the rest of the people in the orphanage were women, including the dean, the director, the rest...

The guard?

That male guard?

Raeleigh recalled something all of a sudden and jolted up from her seat.

"I remember," Raeleigh exclaimed. Santiago stood up, took the files, and left the Public Security Department with her.

Right after they went out, Raeleigh grabbed Santiago's hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Aren't we going to the hospital?" Santiago looked at her with an amused smile. Raeleigh froze there for a while and didn't respond. "I'm not going to the hospital. I remember where I saw the man and know how to contact his family. You can come with me. We'll definitely find them."

After Raeleigh finished, she went outside. She couldn't let Santiago know about the orphanage, so she lured Santiago away.

After getting into the car, Raeleigh waited for Santiago. Santiago looked at her for a while and he then followed her. He started the car engine and went to the place where Raeleigh had told him about. After getting out of the car, Raeleigh took Santiago into the house to have a look. When they entered, Raeleigh said, "I remember seeing a notebook. Why is it gone?"

The corner of Santiago's lips twitched. He sneered. "Why didn't you tell me that there was actually another person here?"

After saying that, Santiago stormed out impatiently. He had always been unwilling to come to such a messy and dirty place. Raeleigh pretended to look for something in the room and did not come out of the house.

After returning to the car, Raeleigh got in and thought for a while, "I really saw it."

"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't lie to me." After that, Santiago stopped the car by the roadside. He took a cigarette and lit it up. Leaning against the car door, he finished the cigarette before getting in the car. After a while, Santiago looked at Raeleigh and said, "No matter what's going on, I promise not to tell him, but you can't leave my sight."

Raeleigh remained silent for a while, as if a chain had shackled her heart.

"I mean no harm, but there are some things I don't want others to know. They are related to my past."

Raeleigh looked at Santiago. He looked back and said, "I didn't ask you about your past. I want you to promise me that you'll stay in my sight in case of an accident."

"I promise."

"Good."

Santiago started the car engine and went back with Raeleigh. She sat in the front passenger seat, occasionally stealing glances at Santiago. He was so handsome and charming.

It took Raeleigh an hour to calm down. It must have been the guard of the orphanage. As long as the guard was willing to cooperate, she could then find out who the child was that was transferred to the orphanage from another one.

Raeleigh held the file in her hands and frowned. Why were so many people missing? Why were they not written out in the file?

Along the way, Raeleigh was thinking about that issue. They then stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Raeleigh was lost in her thoughts for a moment before she turned to look at Santiago. "Weren't we going home?"

"I presume this is where you want to be right now. What's the point of going home?" Santiago pushed open the door and got out of the car. He stood outside and waited for her to get off. After a while, Raeleigh got out of the car and followed him into the hospital.

Outside the ward, Raeleigh peeked inside. There was a nurse in the ward. Wouter didn't come over because he had something to deal with.

Raeleigh stood outside for a while before she knocked on the door and went in. When the nurse saw Raeleigh, she stood up hurriedly and said to Raeleigh, "You're here."

"I came to have a look. Thank you for taking care of him."

"It's part of my job. He's in good condition. The doctor said that after taking the sedative, he has regained a bit of consciousness, but he's still suffering a lot. He just fell asleep."

"I'll stay for a while," Raeleigh said. The nurse agreed. "I have something on my hands. You can help me look after him for a while."

"Thank you," Raeleigh said. After that, the nurse went out and closed the door politely.

Raeleigh sat opposite the man as she looked at half of the man's face. After a while, she suddenly froze. Then, Raeleigh took a look at Santiago. Santiago sat down while Raeleigh told him, "I remember that it was him."

"Then, let's wait until he wakes up, so that we can ask him." Santiago crossed his legs and calmly waited with Raeleigh. However, the man didn't wake up even when they waited until late at night. Raeleigh looked at him in confusion. She raised her hand and tried sensing his pulse, only to find that the man was already dead!

Raeleigh withdrew her hand. She was stunned, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Santiago stood up and raised his hand to check his breathing. The man was no longer breathing.

Santiago walked out of the ward and looked outside. In the middle of the night, there were only a few patients walking in the hallway. None of the others was present.

Santiago immediately called someone to block the entrance of the hospital. Jepherson also received a call.

"Take good care of Raeleigh. I'll be right over." Jepherson put down the phone and got out of bed. After getting changed, he went to Hudson's room. After a few knocks on the door, he called out, "Grandpa." Hudson had already fallen asleep. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he immediately woke up.

"What's the matter?" Hudson had just laid down after watching TV with his grandson.

"I have to make a trip to Capital City. Grandpa, do you want to come with me to visit Grandma?" Jepherson asked in a dull voice. It was inappropriate to make loud noises in the middle of the night.

"I thought you just came back. Why are you going back again so soon?" Hudson was getting older day by day. He really wanted to be together with his wife, Paige, his children, and grandchildren, but right then, such a simple thing couldn't be fulfilled.

"There's an emergency, and I have to rush back in a hurry. Why don't you come with me? You can accompany Grandma in the meantime," Jepherson said from the outside. Hudson thought for a while before he said, "No. Just come back when you have the time. I won't go to Capital City."

Hudson never wanted to go to Capital City. No matter what, that was the Cole family's territory. Although his children and grandchildren had settled down, there was still a tendency that they would be replaced. It was his descendants' affairs. What was he going to do once he got there? Was he going to laugh at the Cole family?

"Then, I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself."

"Go."

Jepherson paused and turned to look at Stuart sitting downstairs. He strode downstairs, bought a ticket, and went back to Raeleigh's side.

It was normal that someone had died in the hospital. However, Raeleigh was present. Nobody knew who reported the man's death to the police. Right then, Raeleigh was a suspect. Santiago was also brought over, yet he was not responsible for that, so no one dared to offend him.

When Jepherson arrived at the police station, Raeleigh was locked up in the detention room. Santiago sat outside and was looking after her. As soon as Jepherson appeared, the police went to greet him. "Mr. Jepherson, it's not that we don't want to help, but we received orders from the officials saying that they'll be here soon. How..."

"Is it a member of the Cole family?" Jepherson's face was tense. He had already guessed it before coming over when he received the news. The Cole family had been mobilized, and news had spread throughout the entire Capital City. Yousif was fired overnight. He didn't know who the attending official was, but there was no doubt that he was from the Cole family. Jepherson hoped that it wasn't Flynt. At that point, if it was Flynt, then things would get tough.

"I know about this. We'll have to follow the normal procedure. My apologies to everyone." Regardless of what Jepherson did, his way of doing things was similar to that of his father, Calvin. He was not afraid of spending money. He was like the God of Fortune, where money basically rained down from the sky wherever he went.

Moreover, he was willing to invest in people whom he admired. On the other hand, he would not spare a penny on people who were useless to him. Even if a knife was placed against his neck, he wouldn't give the unworthy a single penny.

Politics was harsh and corrupted, but their family still had their ways.

Everyone understood that no one would reject the money. The Cole family was powerful in politics, but not to the extent of using money to control the entire Capital City. They could not afford that much money. The Harvey family was different. They had money, and it was not a big deal. Everything was possible when one had the money.

When one had no money and had to seek help from the Cole family, one would be ignored. But if one sought help from the Harvey family, as long as one was worthy of it, they would lend a helping hand. They did not spend that money only for it to be wasted.

All the effort they put in was for an emergency like that. That was the logic behind it.

Rumor had it that Mr. Santiago of the Harvey family was the Devil of Destruction. No one should ever try to provoke him. They never knew that without the backing of the Harvey family, Mr. Santiago would never have come to that state.

Jepherson's words were particularly courteous. Everyone knew that Raeleigh was Santiago's girlfriend. They had to show her some respect. Never mind being innocent, even if she really killed someone, what else could they have done?

There, as long as one had someone powerful on one's side, getting away with murder couldn't get easier.

"Mr. Jepherson, you're too polite. It's our fault that we can't prove Miss Anson's innocence."

Jepherson said with a smile, "You have your own difficulties. Please help me with the normal procedures. I'll bail her out."

"Alright, we'll arrange it right away. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Jepherson."

Since unauthorized personnel were forbidden from entering the police station, everyone was busy. Jepherson walked up to Santiago and looked at him. "Have you eaten yet?"

The sun was rising. It was already dawn in the blink of an eye.

Santiago looked at Raeleigh and yawned. "She has been quiet. I don't know what's on her mind."

"Go and rest. I get it." Jepherson sat down. Santiago leaned against one side and rested for a while.

The police station was busy. In no time, they handed over some documents of formalities to Jepherson after dealing with them. However, just as Jepherson was about to sign them, a few people came in from the door. The person in the lead was none other than Flynt.

"I'm sorry, Raeleigh can't be released on bail." Then, Flynt walked up to Jepherson, took away the documents, and handed them over to the person beside him.
