Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 950 Paige Is At Ease
"Why are you following me?" Raeleigh asked when she realised that Zorion was following her. He glanced around, nobody paid them any mind. He smiled at her, "did you tell me to not follow you?" Looking around and realising she did not have a way to make him leave, Raeleigh gave in.
"I am going to visit my grandmother. Would you like to give me a ride?" If she could not get rid of him, he might as well be of use to her.
Right away, Zorion led the way out of school. The moment his set foot outside the school gates, the Atkinson's family car drove up to meet them. Like a gentleman, Zorion opened the car door and gestured for Raeleigh to get in.
Raeleigh climbed into the car with Zorion right on her heels she did not notice his bright and happy smile.
In the car, Zorion made sure to give Raeleigh some space. He took out a book that he enjoyed and handed it to her.
"Here, if you're bored, you can read this book."
Raeleigh glaced at the book in Zorian's hand then back up at him. After a brief hesitation, she took the book from him, leaned back and began to read.
To be honest, the book was not very appealing to her. After all, it was a romance novel, not an automotive design book.
Raeleigh rarely read books that were not on automotive designs. Her interest was in automotive designs, that was pretty much the only books she read.
Between conversing with Zorian and reading a boring book, she chose the safer option.
As calm settled in the car, Raeleigh began to feel a little dizzy from reading so she closed it and leaned her against the car door.
"Stop the car!" Zorion instructed the driver. The driver immediately pulled over by the side of the road and looked at Zorion through the rearview mirror, wondering why he was ordered to stop driving. Zorion took the book from Raeleigh and put it aside the book. Gently raising her head, he frowned down at her. "Are you alright?"
Raeleigh shook her head. She felt a little weak.
"I feel dizzy. It must be motion sickness."
Raeleigh figured that reading in a moving vehicle triggered her motion sickness. She should better now that she stopped.
Zorion gently released Raeleigh head and sat beside her. "Do you still feel unwell?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "No."
"I'm going to take you to the hospital."
"I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm fine. It's just a little dizziness."
Raeleigh did not think it was necessary to go to the hospital, but Zorion was adamant and had instructed the driver to drive them to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, he immediately grabbed hold of Raeleigh's hand and led her to the emergency room.
Raeleigh struggled out of his hold and crossed her hands behind her back.
Zorion whirled round to glare at Raeleigh.
Before Zorion could say a thing, Raeleigh pointed out, "you may not mind being intimate with other girls, but I do."
Zorion crossed his arms, "I do mind."
Raeleigh nodded, "I can go in by myself."
"After you," Zorion stepped aside and gestured for Raeleigh to enter first.
Zorion walked beside Raeleigh to the emergency room, silently observing her out of the corner of his eyes.
After the examination, the doctor handed Zorion the report. He frowned down at it.
Hypoglycaemic?
"What is it?" Raeleigh tried to get a good look at her report but when she reached out to grab the report he moved away and shoved it into his pocket. "Give her some medicine." The resident looked at him in askance. He didn't recognise Zorion who clearly expected some sort of special treatment.
But since the patient needed medicine, the doctor did as requested.
"Medication is just a temporary solution. In order to properly treat this condition, the patient has to change her eating habits and get more rest." The doctor counselled. "Alright, thank you doctor." Zorion collected the medicine and left the hospital with Raeleigh. They stopped to buy tonics and groceries before heading to Novalie's place.
As they waited for the car to be brought round, Raeleigh eyed the bags with slight apprehension.
That amount of groceries meant that they would be staying for dinner.
Sure enough, Zorion invited himself to dinner the moment he walked through the door.
When Raeleigh kept quiet, Novalie knew that her granddaughter was growing up and starting to have suitors.
Ah puberty! No one was spared.
Novalie was very open-minded and would accept any man, irregardless of his background, as long as he treated Raeleigh well.
There was bound to be a suitable guy for Raeleigh.
Raeleigh cooked while Zorion sat with Novalie in the living room. Novalie truly enjoyed the casual chat she had with Zorion. And vice versa, since Zorian chatted away up til dinner.
By the time Zorion decided to call it a night and excused himself it was after dinner.
Raeleigh watched from the doorway as Zorian left, lost in her own thoughts. Novalie even had to call her back into the house.
Novalie and Raeleigh kept their thoughts to themselves for a time.
When Novalie brought up Zorian later that night, Raeleigh sighed, "I don't like him, but I do not have a choice. I see him in school all the time. We are the same year and in the same classes." Novalie understood her dilemma. "You have to let him down sooner rather than later. Don't wait until it's too late. That would not be fair for all."
"I know that, but I can't do it right now. Anyway, he won't give up even if I did tell him."
"It could a good sign. It means that you have many good qualities, my dear."
Speechless, Raeleigh pulled the quilt over her head. She did not try to explain that it was Zorian's competitive spirit that was motivating him. Raeleigh did not get much sleep that night. Coincidentally, neither did Jepherson.
In the Ink Garden of Harvey Group Manor.
"What a mess! Why did you provoke the Cook family? I know you did it for Raeleigh, but how are you planning to get yourself out of this mess?"
Paige sat the sofa, looking extremely angry.
For a slip of girl, consequences were ignored. A dangerous situation since the Cook family had ties to the Cole family. It did not matter what the cause was, once matters came to light, the Cole family could seize this opportunity to punish them as a warning to others.
The Cole Family was big and affluent. Any losses they suffered were but a drop in the bucket. They were no ordinary family and would be able to bounce back instantly.
With two deaths in the Cook family, this was no laughing matter.
Madam Paige was furious! Head bowed, Stuart could only stand by while Mr. Harvey remained silent on the sofa.
"Tell me, who is Raeleigh to you? Why would you go to such lengths for her? What are you going to do if the Atkinson family misunderstands your actions?"
Paige was worried that Rhys would misunderstand the situation and cause trouble.
Yet Jepherson continued saying nothing. Paige grumbled, "I can't believe that family. How did they raise such a bully of a daughter?"
Paige ranted and tried to elicit a reaction from Jepherson, who sat there as if carved out of granite.
Until finally she relented, at ease.
