Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1146 Mystery of Life

Raeleigh entered the lecture hall and realized that there was a newcomer that day. Hadrian had entered the hall, and he was sitting in the last row, right behind Scarlette.

Raeleigh had no idea what had happened between Scarlette and Hadrian as they were there before her. However, Raeleigh knew that they must have had a fight, since she could feel the tension between them.

As soon as Raeleigh took her seat, she immediately switched her focus in preparation for class. However, midway through the lecture, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she decided to leave the class earlier. Thus, leaving Santiago's sight.

Raeleigh went to the restroom in order to avoid arousing Santiago's suspicion. As a result, when she emerged from the restroom, she found Santiago standing outside, leaning against the wall. He only left when he was sure that Raeleigh was alright.

"You don't have to follow me. Nothing will happen to me in the restroom." Raeleigh wanted to meet Xanthus, so of course, she had to avoid Santiago, but he kept following her. She found it very annoying. "You don't want me to follow you? Why? Do you have a secret meeting to attend to?" Santiago proceeded to walk ahead with his hands in his pocket as he asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh raised her head to look at him. "What secret meeting? Who else can I possibly meet in private besides your brother?"

"Like me, for example." Santiago turned around to face Raeleigh and walked towards her. He forced Raeleigh to stop, and only then did she stop.

"I don't care what you want to do, but you'd better give me a heads-up. Otherwise, I will not take any responsibility if you make a fool of yourself." Santiago observed Raeleigh for a while before turning around to leave.

Raeleigh hurriedly followed in his steps and informed him, "I do have something to tell you, but it's related to my identity, so I can't tell you."

"I know more about you than you know about yourself. How can I not know your background?" Santiago snorted. He did not even turn around to look at her.

Raeleigh did not know what to say. She felt like such a fool when she was around a smart alec like Santiago.

"What do you know?" Raeleigh asked cautiously. Santiago stopped and turned to Raeleigh. "Everything."

Raeleigh remained silent and pondered for a while. Then, Santiago turned around and called out to Raeleigh. "Come here."

Raeleigh lifted her head and looked at Santiago, who was quite far ahead of her, so she had to approach him.

They left the building and made their way to Xanthus' infirmary. Santiago stopped and turned around to look at Raeleigh. "I'll wait for you here."

Raeleigh froze for a while before walking towards Santiago. She raised her head and looked at him. "How is it possible that you know so much?"

"If you don't want people to know, then you shouldn't do it. There's nothing in this world that I don't know. The whole world knows that if an adult falls from such a high place, then it's a miracle that the adult is alive, not to mention the child in the womb."

"Later, my father recalled that when my mother fell down the cliff, her belly must have hit something. I feel that even if the baby managed to survive, it would probably be paralyzed. It's impossible that nothing happened to the baby."

"Although you're somewhat stupid, you're not paralyzed."

Santiago's words shocked Raeleigh. What he said was true. Even if the baby was indeed alive, it was impossible for the baby to be entirely fine. That was to say, the baby had most probably died, but... Raeleigh looked at Santiago. "But he has been searching for so many years, hasn't he?"

"You also know that he has been searching for so many years. Everyone knows that this is a sore subject for him. At that time, my mother went there for his sake. We did not expect her to fall off the cliff. Her temporary disappearance nTristany ruined our entire family. My father nTristany lost his sight in the process of searching for her. With such an incident, how much of a blow did his heart suffer?"

"Although there was a reason, and he was also innocent, everyone knows his character. He's clinging on to that slight hope that he will be able to find our sister."

"When he was five years old, he was young and ignorant. When he grew up, he gradually understood that it was him who caused our mother to fall off the cliff and the baby's disappearance. He's been blaming himself ever since."

"My father tried looking for our sister. In fact, it proves that the baby had most probably died. Although we're unwilling to accept this reality, only a fool would cling to the little hope."

"He's a smart fool, while you're genuinely a fool."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Why do you have to drag me into everything? It seems that if you don't call me a fool, then you will feel uncomfortable."

"Hmph!" Santiago turned around and looked elsewhere. "It's possible that Steffan lied, but I doubt that he would lie to my mother about this matter. He most probably told a white lie. I think that the child has most likely passed away. My mother was in really poor health at that time, so that's why he did not lie, and I think he fell in love with my mother at that time."

Raeleigh was silent. She wasn't sure whether she should believe Santiago or not. But then again, she knew that Santiago would not lie about that matter. After all, the baby was his sibling.

Raeleigh was silent for a while and said, "Then, why don't you come in with me? I've thought about this matter long and hard. I don't know what else to think."

Raeleigh said as she entered the medical room, followed by Santiago.

Xanthus was not surprised to see Raeleigh, but he was surprised to see Santiago.

"I thought Scarlette's supposed to be with you? Since when has she been replaced with another person?" Xanthus intended to mediate the dispute, but Raeleigh cut to the chase and said, "He knows. I asked him to accompany me. You can tell me."

Raeleigh watched as Santiago entered the room and took his seat at the side. Xanthus then put his coat on. "Let's go out and have a conservation."

Raeleigh looked at him for a while before she stood up. She looked at Santiago and waited for him to get up. Then, the three of them went out together.

The three of them got into the car and found a quiet place. In fact, they were at Xanthus' new house.

After getting out of the car, Raeleigh looked up at Xanthus' house. It was quite luxurious and had peaceful surroundings. She then asked, "Did you just buy it?"

"Yes, I did. Not bad, right? I'm planning on settling down here. Our parents will come over some time later. This place is suitable for your development. If possible, we will live here for six months out of the year to accompany you."

As Xanthus spoke, he glanced at Santiago. "Let's go in and take a look."

Xanthus talked as he entered the villa. The door opened. The living room was grand. Raeleigh realized that it was not lavishly decorated and had a musty smell from the books.

There were no servants in the house. After entering the house, Xanthus removed his shoes, and asked Raeleigh and Santiago to take a seat in the living room. He poured three glasses of water and set them on the table. Then, he brought out some documents and information sheets for Raeleigh. With that, he said, "Have a look. This may be the reason you said that you were three years old when you arrived at the orphanage."

Raeleigh accepted the brown envelope, took out the documents inside, and began reading through the information. Most of the notes were handwritten, with signatures and photos on them.

One of them was a baby girl wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The most interesting thing was that there was a USB drive.

Raeleigh read the information. Xanthus inserted the USB drive in the computer. Soon, a woman who was about ten years older than Raeleigh appeared on the screen. She was beautiful and looked like she was in her thirties.

It was that woman, who uncovered the mystery that had been haunting Raeleigh's life.
