Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 886 A Passionate Kiss In The Elevator

Zorion was standing by the door when Raeleigh was pushed out from the operating room. He walked up to her. Feeling a huge burden getting lifted off his chest, the doctor said, "The operation was extremely successful, but there's no more room for accidents. If anything goes wrong, there's nothing else we can do. No amount of money will be useful by then."

Zorion acted as if he had not heard them. He lowered his head to watch Raeleigh, bent down, and picked her up. Standing by the side, Scarlette was totally stunned.

Busy holding onto the IV drip, Deanna followed Zorion. She had completely forgotten about Scarlette.

After a while, Scarlette caught up with them and went to the ward, unsettled.

Along the way, Raeleigh kept dozing off. Zorion carried her all the way to the ward and put her down. He covered her with a quilt and hung the IV drip.

Deanna followed behind Zorion, asking, "Zorion, why have you suddenly become so affectionate?"

Zorion glanced at Deanna, "Was I not like this before?"

"No." Deanna raised her hand and touched Zorion's forehead, teasing, "You don't have a fever either."

Zorion took Deanna's hand away and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I am," Deanna was indeed starving as she had yet eaten her breakfast. Zorion stepped out to buy some for her.

The longer Scarlette sat in the ward, the uneasier she felt. She sent a text message to Jepherson.

The contents of her message were straightforward, "Raeleigh's hand was injured again, and she underwent a second operation. She's fine now."

Scarlette did not dare to say that Zorion might have gone out the previous night as well. Her heart was in turmoil. It was best if Jepherson was kept in the dark about that matter. Only after a few days would she tell him about Zorion's unusual behavior. That way, she would be able to live.

Jepherson was in the hotel, getting ready to get up when he received Scarlette's message. Then, he immediately went to the hospital.

Jepherson arrived at Raeleigh's ward and stood by the door, looking down at something. Deanna was reading Raeleigh's book, and Scarlette was sitting restlessly.

Zorion was not in the ward.

Jepherson raised his hand and knocked on the door. Deanna looked up and noticed that the visitor was Jepherson, and she immediately stood up. She went to the door and opened it, asking, "Jepherson, why are you here? Isn't your flight today?"

"I've come to see if there is anyone who wants to go back too." As Jepherson spoke, his eyes fell on Raeleigh, who failed to turn around. Raeleigh knew that Jepherson had come to visit her. After all, the knock on the door had proved that he was not Zorion, and the doctors would not rap at the door and wait for others to open it.

After excluding so many people, there was only one possible person left. If it was not Jepherson, who else could it be?

With Raeleigh still refusing to turn around, Jepherson entered the door and did not sit down.

"Are you feeling better?" Jepherson asked Raeleigh, her back still facing him. However, neither Raeleigh nor Scarlette answered him. Seeing that no one answered, Deanna replied, "She's fine now. The doctor reminded her to be careful. You don't know how dangerous it was yesterday. Raeleigh overexerted her hand accidentally, and she had to undergo a second operation. I'm responsible for Raeleigh now. I'm looking after her everywhere. She'll be fine."

Jepherson lowered his head to look at Deanna, asking, "Are you happy that she's okay now?"

"Of course, I am," Deanna was full of smiles, but Jepherson could not even muster up one at all.

"Stuart, don't you have something to talk to Raeleigh about?" Raeleigh refused to turn around, so Jepherson had to find another solution.

Stuart stood at the door and replied, "I do have something to talk about with Miss Raeleigh."

Raeleigh also knew that Stuart had no business with her, and that Jepherson was only acting. However, if she did not turn around, she had no idea what other excuse Jepherson would conjure up to deal with her.

"Stuart, what do you have to say?" Raeleigh turned around and fixed her bright eyes on Stuart, not looking at Jepherson at all.

Jepherson was standing on one side, staring at Raeleigh.

Even Stuart felt a chill down his back. Thus, he made an excuse and responded, "Miss Raeleigh, you told me last time that there was a prescription at home that can cure insomnia. So, I want to ask for it from you."

Raeleigh was amused by his words, impressed that he could think of such a thing.

"I will send you the prescription. Give me your phone number," Raeleigh answered after thinking for a while. Stuart added, "I don't know if it's convenient for you to come out now, but my friend is staying nearby here now. Why don't you accompany me to meet him and tell him about the medicine yourself, Miss Raeleigh? He's old and it is inconvenient for him to leave the house. I'm also afraid that I won't be able to convey the message clearly."

Raeleigh remained silent. She knew that all of Stuart's words were a ploy, but she had no other option than to play along.

"I see. If so, I'll go with you. Mr. Harvey, you can stay here and keep Deanna company," Raeleigh said, walking towards the door. Upon hearing her words, Stuart felt another surge of uneasiness.

If Jepherson stayed in the hospital while Stuart went out with Raeleigh, he would definitely suffer dire consequences.

"Miss Raeleigh, I have to protect Mr. Jepherson. I have vowed that I can't be more than ten meters away from him," Stuart informed her firmly.

Deanna asked, "Stuart, why don't I know of this?"

Stuart's palms were sweaty as he replied, "There are still many things that Miss Deanna doesn't know about. Our agreement has always been like this."

"Oh," Deanna, still doubtful, hummed in assent.

"Raeleigh, why don't you go ahead? Maybe Stuart just wants to take you out for a spin," said Deanna, who was no longer that fond of Stuart. Although he was good-looking and nice, he was no match for Zorion. If Stuart wanted to compete with him in pursuing Raeleigh, she would not give them her blessings.

Deanna thought about it and pushed Jepherson, asking, "Jepherson, why don't you accompany Raeleigh out?"

Jepherson lowered his head to look at Deanna, "What about you then?"

"I have Scarlette with me," answered Deanna, grabbing Scarlette's hand. For Zorion's sake, she would do everything she could to not let Stuart take advantage of the situation.

Deanna noticed that Stuart harbored no good intentions towards Raeleigh.

Stuart truly was despicable!

Scarlette smiled and urged, "You can head on your way now. If we all leave at the same time, Mr. Atkinson will be worried when he isn't able to find us."

"Miss Raeleigh, we'd better go there earlier so we have more time to inform my friend about the medicine. Mr. Jepherson has a flight to catch, so if we delay any longer, we might delay his flight," Stuart insisted, worried that they would run into Zorion. If that happened, he would no longer have any chances to let the two have their alone time.

Raeleigh took a look at Deanna and Scarlette, telling them, "I'll be back soon. Wait for me."

"Bye," Deanna waved her hand with a naïve look on her face. Raeleigh knew that Deanna had no idea about Jepherson's relationship with her and she felt bad, so she wanted to make things clear with him as well.

Raeleigh looked at Stuart and said, "Let's go."

"Miss Raeleigh, this way, please. Mr. Jepherson, please." How could Stuart dare to walk in front? He waited until Raeleigh and Jepherson walked out before he followed them from behind. After Stuart walked out of the door and swept his eyes around to make sure that Zorion was not there, they entered the elevator together. Then, right in front of Stuart, Jepherson dragged Raeleigh into his arms and pressed her against the elevator as it stopped at the floor below them. Stuart pressed the button and did not allow anyone else to come in. Stuart did not dare to move, and his whole body was stiff. He did not dare to look back, for he was afraid of interrupting Jepherson's fun time.

Raeleigh, who was pressed against the elevator, raised her hands, not daring to move, and her face flushed red. Jepherson held her tightly. Then, he lowered his head and bit Raeleigh's lips, intertwining their tongues. Jepherson's restrained anger burst out at once, not giving her any chance to refuse his advances. She struggled against his hold, shaking her head as Stuart was still in the elevator. What exactly was Jepherson trying to do?
