Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1158 A Confrontation Between Brothers

Seeing that Raeleigh had left with Xanthus, Jepherson intended to catch up with her, but was stopped by Santiago. "Raeleigh will be fine. Now, let's talk about the two of you."

"What's there to be talked about?" Jepherson's expression darkened. He was anxious to catch up with Raeleigh, but he did not leave.

They were brothers, and he was all too familiar with Santiago's character, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

Santiago swept his eyes all over Jepherson. "You should know better about what's going on. Why did you decide to get rid of the baby?"

"The doctor said that there's something wrong with it," Jepherson replied calmly. Santiago said through his gritted teeth, "That's your son. If you don't want him, then you shouldn't have impregnated her in the beginning. Now that you want to get rid of the baby, how's she going to live with it?"

"We can have another child in the future, but I can't risk her life," Jepherson said decisively. Santiago glanced at the two doctors behind Jepherson. "Since that's the case, I'll take her for an examination. Once it's certain that there's something wrong, I'll make sure she rid herself of the baby. If there's nothing wrong, then for this, I'll beat him to death."

Santiago gestured his chin at the doctor behind Jepherson. The doctor was scared silly that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to say a word.

After saying that, Santiago spun around and walked towards the elevator. Halfway through, he kicked over the trash can in the corridor. Standing still, Jepherson clenched his fists, and his face was drained of color.

Raeleigh had been in a daze ever since they came out of the hospital. Xanthus flet unsettled about her condition, therefore he took her to another hospital.

After they reached there, Raeleigh first had a checkup. After that, Xanthus arranged a ward for her. Throughout the whole process, Raeleigh had been feeling down in the dumps and was not up for much talk. Santiago made a call to ask Xanthus where they were. After a short while, he also came over. The result of the diagnosis result was out.

"Take a look at this." Standing outside the ward, he handed the report of the diagnosis to Santiago while Raeleigh was sleeping. He then waited for Santiago's response. Santiago read through it and chucked it into the trash can.

Pushing the door open, Santiago went into the ward and took a look at Raeleigh. Raeleigh had fallen asleep with her brows knitted. Santiago walked over, pressed his finger on the knot in between Raeleigh's brow, and loosened it. He shot a look at Xanthus, who was standing at the door. "Thank you."

Xanthus was staggered to hear it. "This is what I should do. She is my sister."

"Let's not draw any conclusion on this matter first. Give me some time, and I will investigate it thoroughly. Now that Deanna still hasn't been found, everyone is under a lot of pressure. Grandma is pushing him too hard."

As Santiago spoke, he poured himself a glass of water. After drinking the water, he sat down opposite Raeleigh and crossed his legs. He placed one of his hands between his legs and leaned his head against the chair. All of a sudden, he looked a decade older, or more, and traces of aging emerged from his cold face. Xanthus closed the door, sat down and looked at Raeleigh. If it weren't for the fact that she had met Jepherson first, and that she was pregnant, things might have taken a different turn between her and Xanthus...

After Raeleigh woke up, she received a call from Jepherson.

"Are you looking for me?" Picking up the call, Raeleigh got up and stood aside. Jepherson fell silent briefly before he answered, "Regarding the child, I would like to have a talk with you."

"I'm willing to do anything, as long as it's not to remove him." Raeleigh was not clear about what had happened. Nevertheless, she wouldn't yield when it came to the child's issue. If she gave in, then she would probably regret it. She did not want the child to get entangled in the adults' affairs. Besides, the child had once been questioned by her, and right then, his life was in danger because of his father. Hence, she would not allow the same mistake to happen again.

Jepherson could give up on her, but she couldn't give up on her child.

Still in silence, Jepherson hung up.

Raeleigh thought that Jepherson had given up. She did not expect that soon after hanging up, the door of the ward was pushed open. Standing outside the door was Jepherson in the flesh. Raeleigh frowned when she saw him. "You're here?"

Jepherson glanced across the ward before he approached Raeleigh. He sat down beside her and held her hand in his. "Are you still uncomfortable?"

Raeleigh shook her head, as if it was not Jepherson himself who had brought her the discomfort, but someone else instead. Raeleigh was amused by him. That said, in the face of such an abrupt change, she really couldn't bring herself to laugh.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him. "Hasn't Deanna been found yet?"

"Not yet. I'll send Santiago to search for her later." Raeleigh was stunned momentarily when she heard this. She wondered if Jepherson was planning to send Santiago away, so that he could find a chance to make a move on her.

"Okay." The only thing Raeleigh could do was to agree. She sat there quietly. Santiago stood up and poured some water for himself and Raeleigh. Then, he said, "If I'm to find Deanna, then what about Raeleigh?"

"I will take care of Raeleigh," Jepherson answered. Santiago was silent for a while. "Grandma has our backs all the time. Still, someone has to be by her side. Just focus on dealing with her, and I'll take care of Raeleigh."

"You can't take care of so many people at once. I will take Raeleigh back and tell Grandma about the matter between Raeleigh and me," Jepherson said. Raeleigh felt that things were not like that. She stole a glance at Santiago subconsciously. Afterwards, Santiago sat down. "Scarlette and Hadrian will follow me. Can you relax now?"

"Raeleigh is pregnant. She can't follow you."

"I will ensure her safety."

"It's not a matter of assurance. You might encounter danger while you're looking for Deanne. How can you promise that Raeleigh will be safe?"

There was a heavy silence in the ward. Xanthus sat down at the side and simply observed the argument between the Harvey brothers. They glared at each other with their piercing eyes. Even so, they did not fight.

Jepherson said, "Raeleigh is my beloved girlfriend. If I want to hurt her, then you can't stop me, although I've no intention to do so."

"You've gone mad, huh. Why would I know what you're going to do?" Santiago retorted. Jepherson's face fell. "Hey, watch your mouth when you speak to me."

Surely enough, Santiago became calmer. He suppressed his anger, but he still refused to concede.

Raeleigh thought for a moment before she told Santiago, "Get Scarlette and Hadrian to go with you to find Deanne. I'll stay with him. After you've found her, we can sit down and address the issue head-on. I also want to be with him, since we haven't been together for a long time. I would like to know why he did a 180-degree turn in his attitude all of a sudden. We are all adults, and we should be able to resolve the problems in our relationships. We haven't reached the end of our rope, have we?"

Still holding her hand, Jepherson didn't answer. Santiago chuckled. "He wouldn't have done such a ridiculous and brainless thing if he was not at the end of his rope."

"Enough! Can we drop this? I'll give you ten days. If you fail to find Deanne in ten days, then you don't have to come back. Get lost," said Jepherson, asking Santiago to leave, but he didn't move.

"Still not leaving?" A hint of anger flashed through Jepherson's eyes. Only then did Santiago get up. If there was someone in the Harvey family who could make Santiago behave, then it was definitely Jepherson.
