Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1281 Deanna Leaves the House

The servants had no choice but to retreat and report to Zorion.

But when they reached the door that led to his room, the servant's face turned red in embarrassment. His door was closed and there were noises from within. What was he doing there?

The servant raised his hand but quickly withdrew. Recalling how he was scolded previously, he thought that it best to look for Deanna.

The servant walked towards Deanna's room and knocked on her door. "Miss Deanna..."

Deanna pushed the door open and looked at the servant who was standing in front of her. "What's the matter?"

"Well..."

The servant didn't know how to explain the situation. All he knew was that there had been noises coming from the Zorion's room.

Deanna looked puzzled. She hadn't eaten much in the past two days ever since her brother had put her under house arrest.

Deanna tried to go on a hunger strike, but that didn't work. She refused to eat for the entire day in hopes that her brother would change his mind but he did not budge. Deanna was going crazy, but there was nothing else she could do.

She had lost a lot of weight, she's....

As Deanna fell deep into thought, the servant told her about Santiago's accusation while glancing in the direction of Zorion's room. Deanna was shocked to hear what was being said and ran downstairs immediately.

Deanna looked at the help and said, "I'll go out and take a look. My brother won't find out. Let's settle our business with Santiago."

Deanna left after saying that The servant had indeed thought that that was what she was planning to do. After all, Deanna was the only person who wouldn't be afraid of Santiago.

The servant hurriedly followed her outside towards the main entrance. When they saw Santiago, Deanna had the sudden urge to break into tears as she felt that her savior had arrived.

Santiago stared at Deanna as she stopped in front of him. He thought about how she had lost a lot of weight.

"Open the door," Santiago said with an annoyed voice. The servants thought his behaviour changed due to her presence because he was fine prior to her arrival.

The servants opened the door quickly. But as soon as the door swung open, Santiago pulled Deanna out towards him, and turned to walk towards the car. The servants stepped forward to stop him but Santiago glared daggers at them. The servants took a step back and called after Deanna. They knew that something was amiss.

However, their realization came too late. The corners of Santiago's lips curled up into a smile. "She will be back tomorrow. I am bringing her to visit my grandmother."

Santiago opened the car door and pushed her right in, causing Raeleigh to wake from her slumber before moving over to make way for Deanna. Her face flushed red when she woke up. She had dreamed about Jepherson.

She was baffled at herself.

"Raeleigh, why are you sleeping in the car? You could catch a cold. Look, your whole face is red."

Deanna couldn't be bothered at her haggard appearance. She took off her outer coat quickly and handed it to Raeleigh. Raeleigh was still in a dazed state after being jolted awake. She felt like she had only taken a short nap, so she was surprised to see Deanna.

Santiago then got into the car, started the engine and drove right back to Xanthus's place.

Raeleigh finally woke up from her dazed state and looked at Deanna. Then, she removed the coat on her and draped it over Deanna instead. "Put this on, or you'll catch a cold when we get out of the car. Why are you so thin? It looks like you haven't eaten in days. You don't even have makeup on."

Deanna had always dressed up whenever she went out, but that day was an exception.

Deanna was blessed with good looks and looked especially delicate even without makeup. However, she looked gaunt that day, as if she had aged a few years. She didn't look like the usual Deanna. Deanna sat upright and clasped her hands together. She looked a little nervous, but it was hard to tell why.

As Raeleigh sat beside her, she didn't enquire further when she saw Deanna's disinterest to elaborate.

The servant ran back upstairs and stood outside Zorion's door. He wanted to knock on the door, but shrank back in fear. "What should I do? What is he doing inside? Zorion must be in excellent physical health. How long have they been going at it for?"

...

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Zorion was almost driven mad. It looked like Rossie might have food poisoning as she was still feeling sick. She laid in bed with her eyes closed, tears rolling down her cheeks. She placed her hands over her stomach and refused to answer Zorion, her face as white as a sheet.

Zorion knew that menstrual pain could be torturous but had no idea how to manage it. All he knew was that Deanna would have similar episodes occasionally and she would always take painkillers to get herself through the pain. She would be fine after taking the pills with some ginger tea.

Rossie had tried everything, including the ginger tea and the painkillers but to no avail.

She laid in bed quietly.

Zorion held her arm and asked, "Rossie, where do you feel unwell? Let's get you to the hospital."

When Rossie heard that she was going to the hospital, she burst into tears and kept shaking her head. She didn't want to go to the hospital; people would learn of her real age and her embarrassing history if she were to go there.

"How about we make a house call?" Zorion had been very unhappy for the past two days because of Deanna and he had no way to explain this to his parents. Due to the whole Deanna issue, he had not been paying much attention to Rossie. He didn't expect anything would actually happen to her.

Rossie shook her head in disagreement. Zorion couldn't bear to watch anymore. His heart ached from watching her suffer.

He got up to make a phone call and asked that a private doctor come for a house call.

The servant was still hesitant about the earlier matter when the doctor arrived and knocked on the door.

Zorion immediately opened the door to let the doctor in before closing it.

The servant had wanted to see what was going on inside but the door was slammed shut.

They were being so mysterious which further amplified his hesitation to impose on them.

The doctor informed Zorion that Rossie may need strong medicine. After writing her a prescription, he left. Zorion stood at the door and finally noticed the anxious servant. He asked, "What's the matter?" "Miss Deanna..."

...

When they arrived home, Raeleigh got out of the car and went to open the door for Deanna. But Santiago beat her to it and helped her open the car door instead. Deanna looked at Raeleigh and said apologetically, "Raeleigh, I'm sorry, I've come to disturb you again."

"It's fine."

"Please let Dr. Osteen know that I will try to leave as soon as I can. I will find a way to leave." She had a strange expression when she spoke. Raeleigh laughed and asked, "Where do you plan on going?" "I can't tell you that." Deanna looked around. In fact, this would be the last place she would choose to stay, but it seemed like she had no other choice.

This was Xanthus residence. Xanthus must be Raeleigh's new boyfriend, which meant that Jepherson had already lost the competition. It was quite a sad matter to think about.

Deanna didn't want to live under Xanthus' roof.

But she was left with no other choice.

She had nowhere else to go.

Since Deanna didn't want to say more on the matter, Raeleigh decided to stop probing. On the other hand, Santiago thought about her strange reaction as he followed behind the two women.
