Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1308 You Think He Would Have Acknowledged It?

Seeing him, Zorion turned around and flopped down on the couch, holding his ground.

After sitting down, Zorion coughed twice and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He looked up at the person who came in through the door. Tetsuo walked up to Zorion first. He stopped and said, "Mr. Zorion, Miss Deanna brought a friend with her."

"I heard you."

Zorion's expression was less than genial, but he held back his cough.

"I've fulfilled what I promised." Jacky stood there, with his hand still tightly gripping Deanna's.

Zorion caught a glimpse of Deanna's hand and felt funny. They were twins indeed. They both fell hard when it came to love.

"Deanna, go upstairs with Scarlette and get some rest. Allow me to have a word with Jacky."

Concerned, Deanna turned to look at Jacky.

"Why don't you go ahead?" Jacky patted her shoulder and released her hand. His other hand pulled the luggage over and with his eyes on Tetsuo, said, "Please, sir. These are the clothes I prepared for Deanna."

"I'll deliver it right away." Tetsuo pulled his luggage and turned to go upstairs.

Deanna glanced at Jacky before turning around to walk up the stairs.

As oon as she entered her room, Zorion turned to look at Jacky. "Have a seat."

Jacky scanned the surroundings and sat down. Zorion exhaled heavily. "I'll protect Deanna with all my might. Now, it looks like someone is targeting the Harvey family and scheming against Jepherson. Stuart is Jepherson's right hand man. His accident shows that these people have already begun to plot a comprehensive plan. They don't care if they've been discovered by Jepherson at all. I'm not in the best of health, and I may be hard-pressed to offer any help. Seeing how much you want to walk through h*ll, you do it."

Jacky nodded. "I hope you don't go back on your word. Protect Deanna."

"You have my word."

Jacky stood up and shot a glance upstairs. He turned around and left the Atkinson family residence. Tetsuo descended from the top floor and personally sent Jacky out.

After Jacky left, Zorion lapsed into a coughing fit yet again. He continued to sit there, unmoved.

Rossie sat at the side, looking at him. He asked Rossie, "Have you ever felt a little bit of heartache towards me? Even a little?"

Rossie said, "Who would ever pity an abuser?"

Zorion's pale lips curled up. "I see, I've always been an abuser to you!"

Zorion stood up and walked upstairs, his every step accompanied by coughs. He didn't even bother to pick up the clothes that had slipped off his body. Yet, he checked to see if Rossie came with him and helped pick his shirt up. However, she didn't budge an inch and just continued watching TV.

Tetsuo came back and saw the clothes on the ground, and he then saw Zorion upstairs. He hurriedly walked over, picked up the clothes on the ground, caught up with Zorion, and put them on.

Turning around, Zorion looked at the old Lennox. All of his expectations had crumbled.

Zorion forced a smile and nodded. "You should take a rest."

Tetsuo nodded and agreed. Zorion glanced at the indifferent Rossie downstairs, turned around, and walked upstairs, gripping the railings of the staircase. When he arrived at Deanna's room, he opened the door and went in.

Deanna was still sitting there. When she saw Zorion, she sprung to her feet. Zorion looked at Scarlette.

He said, "Scarlette, go out first and help me look after Rossie downstairs. I need to talk to Deanna."

Scarlette walked to the door, went outside, and closed the door.

Seeing the door close, Deanna said, "I only ever wanted to protect my baby."

Zorion forced a smile and stopped in front of Deanna. He didn't say anything but he opened his arms to hug her. He said, "Love is so painful, huh. I really regret embracing it!" Mystified, Deanna clutched Zorion's shoulder and shouted, "Zorion, you..."

"Hush. Hug me."

Deanna pursed her lips and wept. It was all she could do to muffle her cries.

Zorion looked up and sighed. "Hey, all is well. We're alright. Don't cry. It's bad for the baby."

Deanna nodded firmly. The twins did not come out of the room for the whole day. Finally, Zorion slept in her room, and on the same bed.

However...

Deanna was not sleepy at all. She was looking at her brother sleeping. Even when he was asleep, he would always cough. Deanna began to worry. What was wrong with him? Deanna hugged Zorion and patted him. Feeling depressed, she took out her phone and sent a text message to Jacky.

"Jack, my brother and I have reconciled, but he is very fragile and has been coughing. What should I do? I think I ought to take him to the hospital."

Jacky replied: [His body is also injured because of Rossie. Call a private doctor over. Your family should have the medical equipment.]

Deanna then replied, "Oh, we do have them, from when I was sick last time. How do you know that?"

"I saw it when I visited your family home the previous time."

"I see. Go back to your work. I have to take care of my brother."

Deanna stopped texting. Jacky had already arrived at the hospital and was then entering the elevator to see Santiago.

Jacky smiled. Jepherson was right. They were truly siblings.

After coming out of the elevator, Jacky approached Santiago's side. Belle was talking to Raeleigh. When she saw someone outside, she was shocked.

"What a good-looking lad!" Belle praised sincerely. Initially, Calvin was sitting by the side watching the news. When he heard his beloved wife exclaim, he could not help but to feel a trace of jealousy slithering up. What did it mean? Were his sons any less?

When he looked up, he thought that the guy in front of him was just so-so, at best.

The young man's genes couldn't be compared to his two sons.

Calvin said nothing and continued reading the news, completely ignoring him.

Santiago immediately stood up. "Have you sent her back?"

"Yup. The siblings are getting along very well. Don't worry about it."

Jacky neither had any brothers nor sisters, so he couldn't understand the feeling of being surrounded by siblings, but then, family affection was important to him after what he had seen with Deanna. Santiago smiled and said, "Let me introduce them to you. Meet my father and mother."

"What a pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey." Jacky followed suit and greeted Calvin and Belle. Belle immediately smiled and said with a loving expression, "You're such a heartthrob. I heard that you're Deanna's boyfriend. Her mother and I are good friends."

Jacky didn't say anything and only looked at Calvin.

With the awkwardness settling in, Belle turned to tug her husband. "The youngster is talking to you, he's Deanna's boyfriend."

Only then did Calvin raise his head and casually swept his gaze over Jacky. In the end, he said, "Uhuh, I'm afraid the deal is yet to be sealed. Aren't you familiar with what kind of person Rhys is? You think he would have acknowledged this?"

Belle was at loss for words.
