Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1293 Hll Is As Far As I Can Go

"Master Jepherson!"

Seeing Jepherson head up the stairs, Scarlette called out to him.

Jepherson stopped and turned around to look at her. Her lips trembled as she wondered if it would be best to say what was on her mind.

"Although I'm quite the gruff person, I can feel that Raeleigh is really bothered about Stella. No matter what the reason may be, you have already accepted Madam Paige's orders to marry Stella. I don't know what this means for Raeleigh, but if Hadrian ever told me that he loved me yet promised to marry another woman for whatever reason it may be, and even if it was for me, then I will never forgive him."

After saying that, she spun around and left. She went back to her room, afraid that she would get yelled at by Jepherson.

After she closed the door, Scarlette panted in her room. Hadrian was reading a book about maternity care. He was surprised to see Scarlette so rattled. Seeing how scared she was, he put the book down, stood up, and quickly walked over to her to hold her.

"Master Jepherson is here! He is here!" She was so frightened that her entire body trembled. Hadrian held on to her and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It'll be fine." He believed that Jepherson wasn't the kind of person who would hurt them.

Raeleigh slept soundly. Santiago and Xanthus were in the room, watching over her. Jepherson pushed the door open, with his eyes settled on the bed.

Raeleigh had been given an injection and was fast asleep. However, Santiago and Xanthus were on either side of the bed. Jepherson glanced at them. His face had an obnoxious expression.

Santiago stood up, his hands in his pockets. As he walked, he raised his head. He was then as tall as Jepherson.

"What are you doing here?"

Jepherson took a deep breath and turned around to leave. Santiago looked behind him and followed him outside. The brothers stood on the steps of the stairs. Jepherson still had a mild temper. "What's wrong with her?"

Santiago leaned against the railing. "She has a fever."

Jepherson looked at Raeleigh's room and went downstairs to sit on the couch.

Santiago thought his actions were comical. "What are you doing? Trying to terrorize me?"

Jepherson leaned back on the couch, with a deathly hush descending upon him.

Santiago walked around and sat down opposite him. Neither of them initiated to break the silence.

Hadrian stepped out of the room, saw them, then turned around and went back inside. Scarlette, in the speed of light, joined him at the door. Since nothing had happened, she thought that Jepherson had already left. But when she stole a glimpse from the door, she recoiled, as if she had seen two live lions perched on the couch in the living room. It was terrifying.

Scarlette returned to the room and scurried over to the bed. She covered herself with the quilt, balking at the idea of leaving the room. It was too dangerous. Hadrian turned around and looked at her. He gave her another vitamin for pregnant women.

She opened her mouth, popped the tablet, and went back to sleep.

Raeleigh opened her eyes. She was wide awake then. When Jepherson arrived, she had woken up. But she neither moved nor made a sound. Then what?

Raeleigh had her line of sight focused at the door. Xanthus raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. It wasn't hot anymore.

Raeleigh looked at Xanthus. "Was I wrong to have come home?"

Dumbfounded, Xanthus looked at Raeleigh. He knew her well and it wouldn't be easy for her to keep herself from coming home.

"I should have listened to you from the beginning. I should have solved this with a lawsuit and stood in opposition to them. At the very least, I could have kept my dignity. It would have been much better than now. But I was too naïve. I thought I loved him, and if we couldn't be a couple, then we could be friends. I thought I could let time blunt whatever love we had between us, and bring us back to square one." "What I hadn't expected is for this hopeless love to have ended up with so many complications."

"Let's go home, shall we. I'm missing Grandma."

Raeleigh said as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Xanthus thumbed her tears away and smiled. "It is too late to leave now. They are not the type of people to give up easily. Don't be so hard on yourself. Take it easy. Things will get better."

Raeleigh smiled. "I could neither face myself nor them. I wish I had never appeared in their lives."

"Don't say that."

Xanthus patted Raeleigh's head, his heart aching for her.

"Raeleigh..."

"Hmm?" she prompted.

"In fact, you can refuse both of them, and don't accept either of them. There's always another way."

Raeleigh said her thoughts out loud, "Why do you always push me when I want to stay?"

"It's very simple, because I can't let you back down when you're in trouble. What should I do next time when you're in trouble?"

Raeleigh smiled. "There won't be a next time."

"That's hard to say. For now, just take my advice. We'll follow your heart next time."

Xanthus got up and poured a glass of water for Raeleigh. She sat up and drank it. Xanthus pulled out the needle from the intravenous drip and also drank some water. After resting for a while, she felt better. She looked at the door and said, "If we don't leave, then what will they do?"

"You should know that even if they get into another fight, you're just an outsider. You have no part in this drama."

"But they're brothers," she replied.

"That is no excuse for them to treat you like this. In fact, as long as we abide by our duties and don't interfere with their business, we'll be fine."

Raeleigh thought for a moment and blurted out, "Maybe."

...

Raeleigh stayed in bed for the whole day. Xanthus stood up and went out of the room. Raeleigh went to lie down again. According to Xanthus, she didn't need to worry about anything. This was nothing that sleep could not solve. As for the two of them downstairs, he would deal with them.

Raeleigh believed Xanthus and trusted him to handle it.

He went downstairs and walked towards the two brothers. He sat on the armchair beside them and casually crossed his legs.

"I don't want to know whatever it is you two plan on doing, but from now on, without my permission, you both better not do anything you shouldn't be doing in front of Raeleigh. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will see her tomorrow."

"In return, you can stay for dinner tonight, but I hope you won't put her out. Because if you do, then you won't get away with it either."

"As for your friend, Jacky..."

"I can accept all of you here, but I won't allow any of you to act like gangsters. It's best not to have so many out at once. We have people from all walks of life here, and I'm not a very good-tempered person. You'd better understand this."

Santiago laughed. "Are you threatening us?"

"I am, and I've already threatened your brother. He's downright afraid of me. If you don't believe me, then you can ask him."

Xanthus stood up and went into the kitchen to make some snacks for Raeleigh.

Santiago looked at Jepherson. "Is he threatening you?"

Jepherson got up and walked into the kitchen. He entered the kitchen and asked Xanthus, "Is it just a regular fever?"

Xanthus was busy doing something. "Are you worried, huh?"

Jepherson didn't reply. Behind him, Santiago had leisurely walked to the door. He raised his hand and tapped on Jepherson's shoulder. "Are you worried?"

Jepherson moved Santiago's hand away without even looking at him. "Stay as far away from me."

"H*ll is as far as I can go," jeered Santiago.
