Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1116 Unfortunately

Scarlette's injury was bad, but she was feeling much better then. She was then lying on the bed, allowing Hadrian to take care of her.

Hadrian covered Scarlette with a quilt, got up, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Osteen."

"You're welcome. Remember to watch what she eats. She's not allowed to eat any raw or spicy food. She has a bone bruise. If it's not cured, then it'll cause her trouble in the future," Xanthus said as he reached for his medicine box and took out a syringe. "I'll have to give her an injection. She'll need to have an injection everyday for the next week until her injury heals."

Xanthus spoke as he gave Scarlette the injection. Hadrian walked over to Scarlette and said, "If it hurts, then just yell."

"Don't worry about me. It doesn't hurt." She put her hand by her side and frowned when it hurt.

Hadrian looked extremely worried. After Xanthus gave her the injection, he turned around and started packing up his things to leave.

Raeleigh walked Xanthus out while Hadrian remained in the room. He closed the door as soon as Xantus left.

Scarlette frowned and glared at Hadrian. "Why don't you leave?"

"Who is going to watch you if I leave? I'll stay and take care of you," Hadrian said as he walked over to Scarlette's bedside and took a seat. He stared at Scarlette.

Scarlette's face was still swollen. When Hadrian saw her face, his gaze turned cold. "Why don't you take a nap? You'll be fine after you wake up."

She snorted and said, "You can go now. Raeleigh will be coming back soon."

"Xanthus agreed to come only because of Raeleigh. I'm sure they are going to chat for a while. I'll stay with you. Furthermore, she's pregnant. It's not convenient for her to take care of you," Hadrian said with his head down. His heart ached whenever he saw her swollen face.

Scarlette thought about it for a moment and rolled her eyes. She tugged at the blanket and covered her face, not wanting to look at Hadrian.

Hadrian pulled the quilt down. Scarlette was caught by surprise and yelled, "You motherf*cker..."

Scarlette did not finish her sentence. It was not that she did not know how to swear. It was just that she had never been allowed to swear ever since she was young.

She pursed her lips and impatiently covered her head with the quilt. Hadrian pulled it down again and said, "I'm going to kiss you if you keep disobeying me."

Hadrian gulped. Scarlette felt as if she had heard a joke. She briefly cast a glance at his lips in disdain. She did not say anything, but she remembered the stupid things she had done over the years. She always made the first move, be it kissing or hand-holding. It was never Hadrian who made the first move.

Scarlette remained silent. Her expression was deathly still.

"You can leave. I want to..."

Suddenly, Hadrian walked over and kissed her. She stared at him with her eyes wide open and raised eyebrows as he kissed her. After a long time, he finally pulled away and asked, "Now, do you know how powerful I am?"

Scarlette was frantic as she said, "Have you gone mad?"

Hadrian lowered his head and kissed her fiercely. It was as if he was punishing her. He lingered on her lips as Scarlette stared at him like a fool. Everything was a blur. She felt as if she was dreaming. Hadrian continued to kiss her until her face turned red. She was breathless by the time he pulled away. He gently pinched her chin and said, "Breathe."

Scarlette took a deep breath. As soon as she exhaled, Hadrian went in for another kiss. He held both her hands after he pulled away and briefly glanced at her injected arm. He then said, "Once Deanna has been found, let's register our marriage and have kids."

"What?!"

Scarlette did not know how to react for a moment.

Hadrian repeated himself. "I said, once Deanna has been found, I'll tell Jepherson that we're going to get married and have kids."

Scarlette felt that Hadrian had lost his mind. She lay motionless on the bed, processing what he had just said. Scarlette felt that something must have happened.

Scarlette wiped her mouth and tugged at the blanket. She did not say a word.

"Am I dirty?" Hadrian stared at Scarlette's pink lips. He had left his saliva all over her, but right then it was gone.

Scarlette pulled the quilt and said, "I don't feel well. Can you please go out?"

Scarlette did not want to talk about anything else. She wanted to think things through. She wondered what had gone wrong.

What was up with Hadrian all of a sudden?

"I'll keep you company. You can sleep." Hadrian did not want to leave. He remained seated on the bed. Since he refused to leave, Scarlette had no choice but to pretend to close her eyes and hoped that he would eventually leave. As a result, as soon as she closed her eyes, Hadrian lowered his head and kissed her on the lips as well as the edges of her face. Scarlette did not move the entire time. Hadrian finally left after he was satisfied. Scarlette felt as if she was going to approach the execution ground. She felt very uncomfortable and had goosebumps all over.

Hadrian pulled apart after he finished kissing her. He then tucked Scarlette in and realized that there was still some space beside her. So, he quickly took off all his clothes and got in bed next to her. Then, he pulled her into his arms and ran his hand underneath her shirt. His touch was driving her mad.

Scarlette finally calmed down when Hadrian stopped.

Scarlette was unsure how to feel. She thought to herself, "What the f*ck is going on?"

She was so restless that she could not fall asleep.

Raeleigh did not return to check on her.

Raeleigh was accompanying Novalie while Xanthus was examining her. After the examination, he had no intention of leaving. He just sat at the side and talked to Raeleigh. After a moment, he took out a photo from his pocket.

"Take a look at this." Xanthus showed Raeleigh the photo. Raeleigh accepted it and took a look. It was a picture of a young and beautiful woman. She looked familiar, but she could not put a finger on who the woman was. She was dressed as though she was from the eighties. Although it looked like a military uniform, she still looked very fashionable.

"Look at her eyes and smile," Xanthus said. Raeleigh studied the photo for a long time, but she still had no idea who the person was. "I have no idea who this woman is."

Raeleigh intended to return the photo to Xanthus, but he immediately said, "Let Novalie have a look. Let's put it next to your face."

Xanthus said as he placed the photo beside Raeleigh's face for comparison. He stood aside and allowed Novalie to see it. Novalie was stunned at first glance.

However, Novalie was quick on her feet. She quickly came back to her senses and said, "That's strange. Why do they look alike?"

"Raeleigh, this woman has the same eyes and lips as you."

Raeleigh froze for a while when she heard her grandmother's words. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the photo in her hand carefully. She realized that she looked a little like the woman in the photo. "Who is the woman?" Raeleigh asked politely. Xanthus explained, "This is my mother. Look at her stomach. It's bulging. At that time, she was pregnant with my sister. She came here to study archaeology, but she was threatened by a man. She did not want to do conscienceless things. As a result, my sister was kidnapped as soon as she was born. At that time, everything was a mess. My parents could not fend for themselves. That's how they took my sister away. Later, we searched all over for her and finally found some information on her. We eventually found out that she had been living in an orphanage, but we were too late. She disappeared in a fire at the orphanage."

Disappeared?

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the picture in her hand and was lost in thought for a long time. She stared at Xanthus for a long time before asking, "How old was your sister when she was brought to this orphanage?"

"Not long after she was born. She was basically a newborn."

A newborn?

Raeleigh looked at the photo and Xanthus. She could only say that it was a pity.

She knew that she was not a newborn when she arrived at the orphanage. When she was brought to the orphanage, she was about 3 to 4 years old.

How could a toddler be regarded as a newborn?

She really hoped that she was his missing sister, but unfortunately, she wasn't!
