Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 996 Painkiller

Jepherson initially gripped Raeleigh's hands. As his palms started to sweat, he pulled them away, but Raeleigh had immediately sensed it. Her heart softened. She opened her eyes and got up from the bed. She could no longer fall asleep either.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Raeleigh sat up and asked Jepherson.

"A little." Jepherson opened his eyes. His breathing was a little heavy. Other than the fact that he had a troubled expression, everything else was fine.

Raeleigh got out of the bed, took a towel, and wiped off his sweat.

The more in pain Jepherson was, the more silent he was. She couldn't help but to feel impressed when she saw him behaving in such a manner.

People had the strength of their character, which originated from the very core from within, so as not to let others look down on them. Raeleigh had always thought that only people like her had such strength. However, witnessing Jepherson's behavior that day, only then did she realize that in fact, everyone had that strength in them.

Raeleigh remembered that he was acting that way as well when he found a doctor for Zorion.

No matter how uncomfortable he was, he still did not say a word.

Raeleigh wiped the sweat off Jepherson's face and unbuttoned his shirt. He was sweating underneath it too. Jepherson's gaze was deep as he looked at Raeleigh wiping all the sweat with a towel.

"It still hurts." The corner of Jepherson's mouth curled up. Raeleigh was puzzled. "Why are you still smiling when you're in pain?"

"Give me some painkillers." Jepherson furrowed his eyebrows. The painkillers he asked for were certainly not the usual analgesics.

Raeleigh turned around and took a look at the door of the ward, seeming to be in a dilemma.

"Go out. Don't get too close," Jepherson said in a low voice. Raeleigh was stunned, and she blushed. Did he really have to announce such a thing out loud?

Holding the towel in her hand, Raeleigh bit her lips tightly.

Jepherson raised his hand and pulled Raeleigh into his arms. He pressed the back of Raeleigh's head and lowered his head to kiss her face. Raeleigh looked at him, pursing her lips, and pressed her hands on either side of him to stop him from moving forward.

"Kiss me."

Raeleigh was speechless.

Her gaze met Jepherson's deep eyes and she hesitated for a moment before looking back at the door of the ward. After confirming that there was no one around, she leaned forward to kiss him.

"Mmm..."

Since it was the first time for her to make the first move, she accidentally bit his lips. Raeleigh was so stunned by it that her face turned pale. She wanted to leave. Jepherson took a deep breath, held Raeleigh's head, and plundered her mouth. Raeleigh's eyes were wide open in shock before she slowly closed them...

After kissing for a while, she pulled away and asked him, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Mmhmm." Jepherson held Raeleigh in his arms, and his breathing got better.

After a while, he felt the pain again, so he turned around to kiss her. Raeleigh's painkiller was definitely more effective than the hospital's treatment.

Soon, morning finally arrived.

Stuart only dared to enter in the morning. Looking at the scene in the ward, he hurriedly covered his eyes.

The two of them seemed to have gone through a lot. Raeleigh's shoulders were exposed. Jepherson's shirt was torn open, and his sturdy chest was revealed. He looked much stronger than usual. The most embarrassing thing was that he fell asleep kissing Raeleigh's face. Their lips were pressed together even while they were asleep.

Stuart waved his hand to shoo the other guards away, so that they wouldn't disturb their rest.

They all left. Raeleigh and Jepherson slept till noon. Raeleigh was the first to wake up. As a result, as soon as she moved, Jepherson opened his eyes and tugged Raeleigh close, covering her with the quilt. He glanced at the door of the ward with his gaze that was like a sharp knife.

Stuart stood outside the door, feeling the cold wind on the back of his neck.

Raeleigh then realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly tidied her clothes under the quilt, blushing as she wanted to leave. Jepherson did not see anyone at the door of the ward, so he pulled her against him, lowering his head and kissing Raeleigh on her face twice. Only then did he let Raeleigh go.

Raeleigh stood up and tidied up, and then proceeded to look at the door. It was not until she noticed that there was no one around that Raeleigh felt slightly better.

Jepherson's shirt was still undone. Raeleigh walked over and buttoned his shirt for him, one by one, while he stared at her and said nothing.

It was only then did Jepherson order, "Get in."

Raeleigh froze. Was there someone standing at the door?

Stuart pushed the door open and went in. He happened to meet Jepherson's frightening gaze.

"When did you come here?" Jepherson looked at him with murderous intent, whereas Raeleigh was blushing. Stuart hurriedly said, "Just now." "Go out and stand there. Come in when I call you."

Stuart went to the door without saying anything. Jepherson didn't let him in until two o'clock in the afternoon when Raeleigh pleaded for him. Raeleigh didn't understand. They were both human beings. How could he treat Stuart that way?

In any case, Stuart had been by his side all the time. He had done a lot of hard work without taking any credit.

Stuart acted as if nothing had happened. Maybe he was accustomed to that, or maybe he didn't highly regard his own dignity, as a lackey.

"Ask the doctor when I can be discharged from the hospital." Stuart immediately informed him. "In a week's time. The cast can't be removed immediately. The rest should be fine."

"I'll buy gifts for the kids the day after tomorrow when I leave the hospital."

"Young Master..."

"I get it, I'll pay attention to the cast."

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. He said he would be discharged from the hospital, and so he was.

Three days later, Jepherson felt alright.

He sat in a wheelchair and came out of the hospital. Raeleigh pushed him from behind. The weather had already grown cold. Raeleigh took a blanket and covered Jepherson's legs. Jepherson leaned against the wheelchair while Stuart followed by the side.

After leaving the hospital, Jepherson was helped into the car by Raeleigh. The three of them got in the car and went to the mall.

Everything went smoothly after they got out of the car. However, when they got into the mall, the wheelchairs were not that easy to push.

Jepherson turned his head around, and Stuart immediately switched with Raeleigh.

"Let me do it." Stuart took the wheelchair over. Raeleigh took a rest for a while and accompanied Jepherson by his side.

There were so many children in the orphanage, so they didn't have to worry about being picky and could buy whatever they liked.

Raeleigh was not someone who liked dolls, so she didn't even cast a glance at them, but Jepherson told Stuart to pack a few stacks of dolls.

Raeleigh felt like Jepherson was a strong wind that brushed by whenever they walked past a store, which made those in the mall feel overjoyed. As he was rich, he bought everything in large amounts. For example, he would buy about sixty pieces of children's caps and didn't even inquire about the price, although they weren't at a wholesale store. As long as he pointed at the item, Stuart would take care of everything.

Before heading to the orphanage, they went to the hospital. He got an injection and took some medicine. They spent the night at the orphanage instead of the hospital. Raeleigh saw a lot of children waiting for them at the gate of the orphanage before they arrived. When they got out of the car, a group of children called for them excitedly. It wasn't that Raeleigh was moved, but she felt as if she had returned to her childhood and saw her friends who were with her at the time.
