Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 977 Like Brothers

"Someone, please call the doctor," Jepherson ordered. He was still holding Raeleigh's hand. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

Soon, the group of doctors entered the ward and immediately greeted Jepherson, "Mr. Jepherson."

"Can you please give Raeleigh a thorough examination to check whether she's alright?"

"Yes, Mr. Jepherson."

One of the doctors quickly examined Raeleigh. Once he was done, he immediately backed away.

"Mr. Jepherson, everything checks out alright. You can rest assured."

Jepherson felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his mind when he heard that Raeleigh was fine. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Jepherson was silent for a moment before finally answering the doctor. "Thank you for everything. You guys can leave now. I'll call you if there's anything." "Alright then."

The doctors left, one after another. Jepherson glanced at Scarlette, who looked very worried, and said, "Can you please go and get us some breakfast?"

"Right away," Scarlette said and went out. She was glad that Raeleigh was fine. In fact, she was excited. She was so excited that she nTristany tripped over after exiting the door.

Santiago, who was sitting along the corridor, raised his eyes. "You don't have to be so excited just because she's awake."

Scarlette did not say anything. She just stared at him.

Santiago stood up and made his way towards the elevator as he mumbled about how dirty his clothes were and how bad he smelled.

Scarlette followed Santiago into the elevator. Then, he suddenly said, "I'll be back later to eat."

Scarlette still did not say anything, but she knew what he meant. It meant that she had to buy him breakfast as well.

As soon as Santiago exited the hospital, he got into his car and left. Scarlette then looked down at her clothes and realized that it was dirty. She did not know whether she should throw it away or attempt to wash it.

After Scarlette left the room, Raeleigh looked over at Jepherson. When she saw his dark eyes, they felt quiet and gentle.

At the thought of her and Santiago's visit to the Harvey family, Raeleigh sighed and looked up at the ceiling. After a long time, she said, "Your grandmother doesn't like me."

"So what? Her opinion doesn't matter. Just as long as I like you."

"That is not enough." Raeleigh wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't due to the neck brace.

"There was a wound on your neck, but don't worry, I've already asked the plastic surgeon to stitch it up nicely. It won't leave a scar. You'll just have to lay down and not move." Raeleigh roughly knew it, and that was why she did not ask anything.

But Raeleigh opened her mouth and closed it again.

Both she and Deanna were captured by Flynt. However, Deanna escaped unharmed while she was wounded. She tried to escape, but her hand was injured by a knife. Thankfully, at that time, she was wearing a coat. Or else, her arm would have been cut off.

It was not that Raeleigh was jealous, she knew everyone's fate was different. Some people were very privileged. They were loved and cared for, while some others weren't. The latter were like weeds, left to fend for themselves.

Regardless, they were weeds. It'd be a joke if they could survive through winter as they might not even survive through autumn.

Raeleigh was a little frightened as she thought about it. She did not move and her hands were cold.

Jepherson sighed softly and said, "Why are your hands always cold?"

Raeleigh turned slowly to look at Jepherson and said, "I heard people say that if a person was not loved, then their hands would always be cold. I'm not sure whether it's true."

"It's not true." Jepherson lowered his head and kissed Raeleigh's hand. Raeleigh silently looked at him with her empty eyes.

"This is all my fault. I should have made things clear with Deanna. If I did, then she wouldn't have vented her anger on you."

"No, this is my fault. Not yours, not anyone else." Raeleigh turned and looked towards the window. Then, she continued. "Deanna is innocent, but she would not forgive me now that I've hurt her." "I'm sure she will."

It was quiet in the ward. Raeleigh pretended to fall asleep. Jepherson then stood up while letting go of her hand and made his way into the bathroom. When he entered, Raeleigh opened her eyes slowly and looked at the bathroom. She stared at it for a long time before turning around and looking at the windows.

Deanna had been badly affected by this matter. By the time she was discharged from the hospital, it was hard to say whether Deanna would still be mad at her.

If she had known this earlier, then she would have given up the idea of studying in Elkton University. Then, they would have been able to avoid this matter from happening.

Raeleigh closed her eyes again. When Jepherson emerged from the bathroom, Scarlette so happened to have come back. She knocked on the door and brought the food in. Jepherson rolled up his sleeves and walked to the door to accept the food. Then, he waved a dismissive hand at Scarlette, indicating for her to leave.

Jepherson brought the food over and helped Raeleigh sit up on the bed.

Raeleigh leaned on one side and asked, "When will I be able to remove the cast?"

Jepherson looked at the cast and said, "In two days."

"That's not too bad."

"Not too bad?" Jepherson raised his eyebrows and fixed his eyes on Raeleigh's swollen face. When he saw her face, he instantly frowned and a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes.

"I doubt I'll be able to last longer than two days. But then again, I'm surprised that I only have to wear it for two days. I thought I would have to wear it for two weeks." Raeleigh smiled. She was amused. Jepherson leaned over to kiss her. Then, he said, "Don't say that."

Raeleigh raised her eyes and looked at Jepherson. She puckered her lips and did not know what to say. She had been in love with him since the day she met him. There was never a peaceful day. She had intended to live a quiet life, but was always met with misfortunes. The hospital had become a place where she frequently visited.

Raeleigh did not say anything, but Jepherson was unsatisfied. He lowered her head and bit her lip. Just as he was about to say something, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"Come on, guys. It's way too Tristany to be doing that. Can you please be more considerate about my feelings?" Santiago said as he walked into the room. He pulled a chair and sat opposite of Raeleigh. He took out his cell phone to take a close-up photo for her and saved it as his wallpaper.

Raeleigh looked at Santiago and asked, "Please don't take my picture."

"It's too late, I've already taken it. I even used it as my wallpaper," Santiago said and showed Raeleigh his phone. Before she could see it clearly, he kept his phone away.

While they were talking, Jepherson was busy sorting out their breakfast. Once he was done, he handed Santiago his breakfast.

The brothers did not say anything, but Raeleigh could tell that they were not the kind of brothers who appreciated each other.

Santiago took his breakfast and began to eat. Raeleigh's hand was in a plaster cast. Therefore, she could not eat by herself. Jepherson was responsible for feeding her.

"Why don't you eat first? I'll eat later," Raeleigh said as she looked at Jepherson. She was afraid that the food would get cold.

Jepherson did not say anything. He placed the food by Raeleigh's mouth and waited for her to open her mouth. She felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Santiago, who was staring at her from the opposite side. She could not even bring herself to open her mouth.

Why was he watching her eat?

Raeleigh reluctantly opened her mouth and allowed Jepherson to feed her. After that, Jepherson took a bite of the food before feeding Raeleigh again.

Raeleigh and Jepherson basically shared their breakfast.

After eating for a while, Santiago began to talk. By then, he was nTristany done with his breakfast.

"Zorion called me and asked me about her," Santiago said after he took a sip of his coffee.

Jepherson did not say anything and continued to eat. Raeleigh, too, did not say anything but kept on alternating looks from Jepherson to Santiago.
