Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1166 Propose a Marriage

Raeleigh sat outside the ward. Deanna had undergone the examination, and she appeared to be alright. It was just that she had been weeping while holding Zorion's hand since she woke up, as if she had suffered a great grievance and death was beckoning to her.

It wasn't until then that Raeleigh found out Zorion was accompanied by a girl named Rossie.

She looked pretty and elegant in her dress. She just sat there quietly without saying a word or looking at anyone. Her bright, big eyes were like the stars and the moon, twinkling with a unique charm. While Zorion was keeping Deanna company in the ward, Rossie had been sitting outside. She neither moved, nor did she look around.

Raeleigh observed her for a while, discovering that her attire was pretty modest. She had wrapped her neck with a red silk scarf.

In the past, Raeleigh hadn't understood why some people would cover their necks completely. But at that time, Raeleigh recalled something.

Raeleigh frowned, realizing the reason Zorion had been keeping a low profile recently. There was such a person beside him.

Jephrson sat beside Raeleigh. He didn't seem to care much about anyone, including the woman in front of him, Rossie.

He fixed his nonchalant eyes on one side. He, too, was waiting to know about Deanna's condition.

Santiago stood aside with his hands in his pockets. He had also been waiting for the news.

Jacky, on the other hand, was also standing at the doorway. He came in with Jepherson, which astonished Raeleigh. Zorion's men were not afraid of Santiago. Instead, they were afraid of Jepherson.

At that moment, the most anxious person was none other than Jacky. Although there was only a door between Deanna and him, it made him feel as though they were a world apart. Raeleigh gazed at him. Although he didn't show anything, Raeleigh could see from Jacky's eyes, which were fixed at the door of the ward, that his whole heart was with Deanna.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse walked in. It was time to give her a new dose of medicine.

Jacky stood up and walked towards the door. He went inside successfully without being stopped by anybody. Raeleigh was rather surprised to see that.

The nurse was bewildered when she turned her head to find that a man was entering the ward with her. After that, she blushed as she gazed at Jacky. She thought, "What a handsome man! What happened today? Why are hotties making an appearance here in the hospital?"

Jacky acted as if he didn't see the nurse before him. After going into the ward, he headed straight for Deanna, who was sobbing. He stopped, extending his hand to touch Deanna's tear-stained face. The nurse was disappointed to find that he was into another girl.

As soon as Deanna saw Jacky, her large eyes further widened. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. She tugged at Zorion's hand, refusing to let go.

The expression on Jacky's handsome face didn't change much, but he didn't look at Zorion. As he stared at Deanna, she instantly shifted her position to avoid being touched by Jacky.

Jacky spoke with a low voice. "Don't move."

As a result, she sniffled twice and stopped moving.

Zorion raised his head to look at Jacky. "Are you Jacky Scott?"

"I am," Jacky admitted frankly. He swept his dark eyes over Zorion. "Tomorrow, I will pay you a visit for a marriage proposal."

Deanna was flummoxed by his words.

Zorion ruminated momentarily. "My father is not here, and I can't make the decision when it comes to my sister's marriage. Anyway, it's too Tristany for you to propose a marriage. You're just a kidnapper, so you don't have the right to do so. It's a cakewalk for me to kill you. I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. It might be a blessing in disguise for Deanna that you took her away from her previous danger, but you didn't send her back in time, and you let her suffer a lot. I'm not going to forgive you for this."

Jacky stood in front of Zorion. In the face of Zorion's criticism, he only gave a flippant smile. "You mean that I can't match your family's status?"

"What do you think?" Zorion's eyes were as deep as the ocean, and his inscrutable countenance gave little away.

Jacky cast a glance at Deanna before raising his hand to pull off something from his neck and threw it towards her, causing her to flinch.

She looked down, seeing a jade pendant.

"This is my betrothal gift. She can put it on, but she can't discard it. Even though it may not seem to be valuable in monetary terms, it is worth half of your Atkinson family's properties. It's true that I can't match your family's status today, but we have a long road ahead of us in the future. When I gain a foothold in Capital City, I will come and marry her."

"By then, I hope you remember that she is already mine."

Zorion furrowed his brow slightly. Something came to his mind, and he turned to look at Deanna, who was terror-stricken. She quickly handed it back to Jacky. "J-Jacky... take it back."

"To go back on one's words, it is something that cannot be recovered. No way will I take it back. Keep it properly. Don't lose it."

After saying that, Jacky glanced at Zorion before turning around and walking out of the ward.

He strode straight out without looking back.

Raeleigh knitted her brows. She had seen Santiago's unabated confidence before. It was different from Jacky's.

Jacky's confidence was rather low-key in her eyes.

After Jacky left, Raeleigh looked inside the ward opposite her. She wondered what had happened inside. Noticing that nobody had moved, she stood up and walked to the ward, intending to check on them. Deanna was holding the jade pendant and observing it. She had never seen it before, so she was quite curious.

She kept looking at it as she wiped her tears. She had returned to her usual self.

"Zorion." She handed it to Zorion, who then took it and gave it a once-over. Engraved on one side was the name 'Scott', while the other side was a dragon.

"Keep it. Don't lose it." Zorion had seen this kind of thing before. It should be more than just a pendant, but he could not recall where he had laid eyes on it before.

How could Jacky have owned such a thing?

Waverly Village was nothing if not a provincial village. What mystery could be hidden in there?

"Oh," Deanna replied. She hung it on her neck and tucked it underneath her clothes. She had shed enough tears, so she told Zorion that she was tired and lay down on the bed to rest.

Zorion consoled her briefly before he came out of the ward.

Seeing Raeleigh, Zorion was startled for a second. Then, he stared at her for a while. He had some inexplicable feelings for her, which was strange even to himself.

It was beyond a shadow of doubt that he had a crush on her. But right then, he had Rossie, and although his bond with Rossie was established based on a different manner, he felt very conflicted to have fallen in love with two women at the same time.

"Get out of my way." Zorion assumed a stern attitude. Raeleigh was stunned for a moment before she retreated to somewhere else. Seeing that, Jepherson frowned intensely. Santiago turned around to gaze at Zorion, who walked past him and talked to Rossie. "Stay with Deanna. Someone needs to be with her when she wakes up."

At that time, Rossie was under the control of others. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so compliant. She got up and went into the ward once Zorion had told her so. Closing the door, she sat beside Deanna. Afterwards, Zorion sat down and leaned against the chair, looking at Jepherson. "Why did you bring her here?"
