Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 925 Brother and Sister

"I'm heading to the nearest hospital. I'm driving now so I'll call you when I'm there." Raeleigh hung up as the traffic light in front turned red. Abruptly, she stopped the car as the tires screeched sharply. It scared the living daylights out of Hadrian. He thought that they had an accident.

Brushing it off, Raeleigh continued on and looked for the hospital. At the sight of an empty parking spot, she went in and helped Hadrian down the car.

As he alighted, he remarked, "I'm not as weak as you think."

Without a response, Raeleigh went into the hospital together with him. After a simple check-up and treatment, Hadrian was good to go. However, he sat on the bed and fixed his gaze at Raeleigh the whole tiime.

When Scarlette came, Raeleigh had already settled the hospitalization procedure. She urged Hadrian to stay there, but he refused.

"You're prone to tetanus. I think it's better for you to be hospitalized." Raeleigh said with concern.

"I'm fine now."

"Let me see," Scarlette walked over to Hadrian's back and looked at his wounds. Hadrian didn't move. Instead, he threw a glance at Scarlette.

She returned the look and said, "You should stay."

Standing aside, Raeleigh kept quiet. After a discussion with Scarlette, they decided that Hadrian should stay in hospital.

"Raeleigh, thank you for helping, if it weren't for you..." After Hadrian settled down, Scarlette went to look for Raeleigh. She was sitting outside the ward.

Raeleigh raised her head and looked at her, "You misunderstood Hadrian and I."

As her eyes widened, she turned away and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't."

"Hadrian has been staring at me because I drove here. On the way, he was scared out of his wits," Raeleigh clarified. She could see that Scarlette was uneasy.

Embarrassed, Scarlette sat down next to her. "I can't help it. A lot of people like you."

"That also means more troubles," Raeleigh laughed, so did Scarlette. Scarlette asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? It's not a big deal. It's all good now," Raeleigh was very clear-headed as she knew that as long as one is alive, anything could be solved. The dead were incomparable to the ones who were living.

Leaning against her side, Raeleigh squinted her eyes. Scarlette asked with curiosity, "Did you see who was in the car?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "I didn't see him. I just heard a man with an old voice. Frankly, I don't think he's that old. An old man wouldn't speak so arrogantly."

"That's not necessarily the case. Aron is just like that." It came to the realization that Aron was long in the tooth.

Puzzled, Raeleigh asked, "Is Stuart's father also grey-haired?"

"I'm guessing he's about the same age as Jepherson's father. He's in his fifties but I don't know exactly. I've never asked." Raeleigh was fiddling with her fingers as she kept quiet.

Could a fifty-year-old be considered old? If not, what age was considered old?

"Scarlette, does Jepherson have any enemies? Any family rival?" Raeleigh wondered.

Why did he want to ignite a conflict between the Atkinson and Harvey? What was going on?

"I don't know, but Jepherson's family is involved in a business. After all these years, do you think it's possible that he hasn't offended anyone? I heard that the business field is crueler than the battlefield. Death is a very common thing. Be it the loss of stock or being schemed and forced, people commit suicide easily. Just like those in TV series."

"Hmm, maybe. Let's relax for a bit. You go in, I'll stay here. No one will hurt me now that Quirina is gone"

Scarlette thought she had a point, so she went back to the ward while Raeleigh rested outside.

At this moment, her phone rang. It was the man in the car. Taking her phone out, she saw that it was a video of her grandmother buying groceries.

In a daze, Raeleigh deleted the video from her phone. Then, it rang again but this time was a short message.

"Just do as you're told, and your grandmother shall live," Annoyed, Raeleigh switched off her phone.

After putting away the device, she took a nap outside. In the evening, Deanna gave her a ring.

"Hey Raeleigh, I was wondering if you're free to come over tonight? There is no one else in my house," Deanna was whining on the phone.

Raeleigh thought for a moment, "I'm in the hospital."

"Hospital? Raeleigh, what's wrong?" Deanna broke out in cold sweat as soon as she heard that Raeleigh was in the hospital.

Pausing for a moment, she blabbered on. "Oh, it's Scarlette. She's having terrible cramps so I brought her to get some painkillers. I'm here to take care of her."

"Scarlette is having menstrual cramps?" Deanna thought. She also had an issue with this. "Raeleigh, tell her to skip the medicine as it's not much of a help. My mother often cooks ginger soup for me to ease my cramps. I can send it over if Scarlettes wants some."

"It's fine, I'll cook it for her. It's getting late. You should get some rest. I'll see you in school soon."

"Alright. I'll invite you over some other time," Deanna happily hung up the phone.

Zorion sat across her in the living room as he was reading a book. She walked over to him and sat down to peel an orange for him.

Zorion looked up at his sister and uttered, "You're exaggerating. You act like you're on cloud nine eveyday. It's silly!"

"What's wrong with being a little silly? As long as you're here, I can act however I want." Deanna handed the peeled oranges to Zorion but he declined. "You should have them."

"I'll peel more if I want to eat them." Deanna insisted that Zorion have the oranges. As she tried to shove it into his hands, Zorion let a sigh, "My hands are full, I'm reading. Plus, I don't wanna dirty my books. You can have them."

Deanna

She peeled the orange in half. One half was for her and the other was forced into Zorion's mouth. "This should do."

On seeing that Deanna was annoyed and impatient, Zorion ate it immediately.

As he ate, he lowered his head and read the book in his hand. In a flash, Deanna called, "Zorion."

"Yes?"

"If you like Raeleigh, and she likes you too. In the end, both of you get married. Will you still love me as much as you do now?" Deanna had been struggling with this question for a long time. Lifting his head up, he raised his eyebrow. As he thought of Raeleigh's independence, he replied, "Yes."

"If Raeleigh and I were to fall into the water, who will you save? Don't lie to me. You have to tell me the truth," Deanna questioned.

Zorion thought for a moment, "Raeleigh."

"Zorion..." Disappointed, Deanna sighed. Zorion smiled and put down the book in his hand. He looked at her and explained, "I'm your only brother. If you are dead, I can't have another sister. Likewise, if I am dead, you won't have a brother."

Puzzled, Deanna tilted her head to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"I'm saying that if one day, you and Raeleigh were drowning and I'm only able to save one person, it would be Raeleigh. I would get her to safety before saving you.

"If I can't save you, I will die with you. If that's the case, even if you die, you'll still have me."

"What about Raeleigh?" Deanna pitied Raeleigh.

"If she hadn't gotten married, she would find a man better than me. Raeleigh is an amazing woman. Someone will love her more than I do.

"If we get married, she can choose to remarry. It's her choice." Zorion was very wise and clear-headed in his way of doing things. There were no blind spots when he faced trouble.

Deanna hesitated for a long time, "If Raeleigh is okay, and I am fine too. But if you drown, I'm going with you."

"No," Without hesitation, Zorion refused.

"Why? Aren't you scared of death?" Deanna couldn't understand, her expression was extremely pitiful.

"If you and Raeleigh are fine, it won't matter if I die. Raeleigh will take care of you, and you will take care of her," Zorion smiled.

"So you're saying that you're going to die?"

"Everyone will face death sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. What's there to worry about?" Zorion said as he held the book in his hand. His gaze softened as he glanced at Deanna.

"..." Deanna was speechless. She creased her brows as the thought of death came rushing to her mind. It came to the realization that she didn't understand much about death. In the end, it was just a simple word to her.

After a long while, she finished her oranges and leaned towards Zorion. "Zorion, I'll still love you even after I get married. I promise I won't fight with Raeleigh."

While Deanna was speaking, Zorion couldn't help but broke into a smile. "Why would you want to fight her?"

"You're my brother. If Raeleigh marries you in the future, she'll be my sister-in-law. We'll definitely argue from time to time, but I won't fight her. I'm just pretending to frighten her. Otherwise, she'll look down on me as your sister." Deanna nodded hard.

Shaking his head, he continued to read. "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay," Deanna responded. At the side, the servants were observing this harmonious scene of the Atkinson siblings.

After all, a good connection among siblings is quite rare nowadays.
