Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1114 She's Not Junk

Serra quickly found the first aid kit and brought over some ice.

Raeleigh helped Scarlette clean her wound. Scarlette looked much calmer right then compared to moments ago. She sat on the couch and remained silent. She was so quiet that it was a little scary.

Raeleigh touched Scarlette's hands and realized that they were a little cold. Then, she asked, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you having a fever?"

Raeleigh placed her hand on Scarlette's forehead to check her temperature, but it was cool.

"Serra, can you bring me the thermometer?" Raeleigh instructed Serra. Serra immediately went looking for the thermometer but failed to find it. Raeleigh let go of Scarlette's hand and tried to find it on her own. In the end, she realized that the thermometer had fallen in between the gaps. It was no wonder Serra could not find it. Once Raeleigh found it, she slid the thermometer under Scarlette's arm, taking Scarlette's temperature.

Scarlette sat on the couch and did not move. She just kept insisting that she was fine.

Hadrian stood by the door and felt a stabbing pain in his chest as he looked at Scarlette.

Raeleigh felt uncomfortable and yelled at him. "Don't just stand there like a fool. Come over and help. I don't want you to regret it in case anything happens."

Raeleigh rarely scolded anyone. She sounded a little angry when she spoke. She knew that this would not have happened if she did not drag Scarlette to the door and insisted on heading over to the university. The same was true with Deanna. If she had not said anything, then perhaps...

It was too late then. Raeleigh was in a mess and her mind was buzzing.

Hadrian entered the house but did not even bother looking at Scarlette. He pretended as if nothing had happened.

Scarlette remained quiet. She did not care what other people said. She just sat there quietly.

Serra was a little older than everyone in the house. Although she was not that old, she watched Santiago and Scarlette grow up. When Serra saw Scarlette's appearance, she became a little worried. "Scarlette, let me have a look." Raeleigh took out the thermometer and had a look. It seemed that she was not having a fever. She kept the thermometer away and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she took a look at Hadrian and said to Scarlette, "Hadrian was in..."

"Raeleigh, I am tired. I want to have a rest. Can you stay with me while I catch some rest?" Scarlette suddenly stood up and said to Raeleigh. Raeleigh had no choice but to follow Scarlette into the room. Scarlette entered the room and closed the door. She walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and sat on the bed. Then, she buried her head in her knees and did not say anything. Raeleigh went over and sat down next to her. "Scarlette, please don't be sad. This is my fault. I didn't think it through."

"It's not that," Scarlette said, not looking at Raeleigh. "You won't understand. I was the one who forced him back then. I know he was not willing to do it."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Didn't you say that the two of you haven't done it?"

Raeleigh asked, trying to make small talk. In normal circumstances, Scarlette would have explained it to her, but that day, she was not in the mood. She was genuinely upset.

It had been so many years. Even a person without emotions would gradually feel something in their heart.

Sometimes, Scarlette did not understand why Jepherson was so keen on pursuing Raeleigh. Raeleigh was like a stone with no feelings at all. Now that she thought of it, wasn't she doing the same thing? Was she also pursuing a heartless stone?

Scarlette felt extremely uncomfortable right then. She was so uncomfortable to the point where she felt like crying her heart out. Everything that she and Hadrian had built over the years just vanished into thin air.

She felt as if she had been trampled on by Hadrian.

"Raeleigh... Can you please go out? I want to be alone."

Scarlette spoke to Raeleigh in a hoarse voice.

"I'll stay with you."

"There's no need for that. I just want to be alone for a while. I'm fine, really." She buried her head in her knees, unable to say anything else.

Raeleigh felt helpless when she saw Scarlette. She had no choice but to stand up.

"Call me if you need anything. I'll be outside." Raeleigh stood and waited for Scarlette's reply, but she did not say anything. Then, Raeleigh turned around and made her way to the door. She stood at the door and watched Scarlette for a while. Seeing that Scarlette was still, Raeleigh left the room.

When Raeleigh emerged from the room, she was met with Hadrian. She walked over to him and said, "You shouldn't have slapped her."

Raeleigh turned around and went to the couch. She had a headache, so she sat down and began to massage her temples.

She had never had such a headache before. She felt as if her head was going to explode.

Serra went over to Raeleigh and said, "Young Madam..."

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Serra. "What's up?"

"Nothing. Would you like some soup? You haven't had anything to eat yet," Serra reminded Raeleigh. She could not remember the last time she ate.

"Can you please make me some oatmeal? I'll share some with Scarlette," Raeleigh said. Serra immediately went into the kitchen to make the oatmeal. It did not take long before she emerged from the kitchen. Raeleigh brought a bowl of oatmeal up to Scarlette, but Scarlette said she did not feel like eating.

Raeleigh then brought the bowl of oatmeal back down and decided to eat it instead. She was pregnant, so she had to eat. She had already skipped a few meals.

Raeleigh ate her oatmeal and watched Hadrian. Every once in a while, he would look over at Scarlette's room. Raeleigh was not a busybody. She decided to give him some space and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. So, she made her way back upstairs.

When Raeleigh realized that the sky was getthing dark, she told Serra, "I won't be having dinner. I'm going back to my room to get some rest. Let me know when Mr. Jepherson gets home." "Yes, Young Madam."

Then, Raeleigh went back to her room. As soon as Raeleigh entered her room, Hadrian made his way towards Scarlette's room. Serra also knew what was going on, so she turned around and went back into the kitchen. She did not want to see anything.

Hadrian stood outside Scarlette's room and knocked on the door twice.

For a long time, there were no movements in the room. After a while, she said, "I'm not hungry, Raeleigh. I'll eat if I'm hungry. Why don't you get some rest? It's getting dark."

Scarlette said as she leaned against the headboard of her bed, in the midst of the darkness. That afternoon, she had thought through a lot of things. There were some things she could not force. If it belonged to her, then it would eventually be hers.

Hadrian did not belong to her. She should not have pursued him shamelessly back then. In the end, she still could not have him as Hadrian did not have any feelings for her.

Scarlette felt a lump in her throat. She felt exhausted, so exhausted that she wanted to die.

But then again, what was the point if she died? Deanna was yet to be found.

Scarlette sat on the bed, with her face pale.

Hadrian continued knocking on the door.

Scarlette said, "Raeleigh, can you please leave me alone?"

Outside the door, Hadrian's brows were deeply furrowed. He felt uncomfortable all over. Why did her voice sound so raspy?

"It's me. Open the door," Hadrian finally said. Suddenly, Scarlette stopped talking. There was a moment of silence before Hadrian continued. "Can you please open the door?"

It was like an order, but Scarlette did not do anything. She bit her lips. She was not a piece of junk, she wasn't...

Tears began rolling down Scarlette's cheeks. Her parents abandoned her when she was young. She did not know what love was. Then, she ended up in his bed. He did not want to do it, but she was assertive. In the end, he took her virginity.

Was she tainted? Did no one want her?

Scarlette shook her head and wiped her tears away. She wasn't tainted, she wasn't...
