Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 998

They went to visit the children first thing in the morning. Only then did the children know that each of them had a box of beautiful candies.

Jepherson told the children that he would bring them candy when he came the next time. Everyone was delighted, and some of them didn't want to leave the orphanage. When they left, all the children came out to send them off, but Raeleigh was not unwilling to leave them.

It was inevitable for them to part ways. After all, it was better for some people to leave forever.

When the car was far into the journey, Jepherson took out a notebook and wrote some notes in it. His face turned solemn. Where on earth was it?

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on him. "Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes. I'm looking for someone." Jepherson didn't explain. Raeleigh didn't pry further. Jepherson had once told her that he was indeed searching for someone.

Raeleigh left that place and went to the hotel with Jepherson. There was a doctor there to take care of Jepherson's condition. She stayed there for a few days and called her Grandma, telling her that she had something to attend to and couldn't return home.

Novalie was always at ease with Raeleigh, so she hung up the phone without asking further.

Deanna, on the other hand, turned impatient. She looked at Novalie and said, "Why didn't Raeleigh come back? Where is she?"

Novalie replied, "Raeleigh is outside. I forgot to ask her where she was. Miss Deanna, may I ask why you're looking for Raeleigh?"

Novalie was smart. Deanna came with an imposing aura, so she could not say anything else.

Deanna was extremely anxious that the rims of her eyes turned red.

Her brother had not been eating and drinking at home for many days. Her parents were not at home. She didn't know what to do and didn't dare to call anyone.

Usually, she would tell Paige those things and ask her for help, but she couldn't do that right then. If she told Paige, then Raeleigh's and Jepherson's matter would be exposed. What would happen to Raeleigh then?

Deanna bit her lip. She was on the verge of going insane. Her face had become much thinner. What should she do?

As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes. She was really going to be driven crazy.

Novalie was stunned. What was wrong with that girl?

"Miss Deanna, what's wrong with you?" Novalie was also confused, but she didn't say anything.

In a fit of anger, Deanna stood up. She felt that her whole world was falling apart.

She turned around and ran towards the door, causing her to fall and scratch her knee by accident.

Deanna had always been afraid of pain since she was a child, but that day, she felt uncomfortable, and it was not because of her knee.

Deanna got up and wiped her tears. Then, she quickly dusted her dress and left Raeleigh's house.

Novalie was hesitant as she sat in her seat. Should she tell her granddaughter about that?

After exiting Raeleigh's house, Deanna entered her car and asked the driver to drive her back. When she arrived at the door, she wiped her face and went to find Zorion.

She went upstairs and pushed the door open to look for Zorion, who was lying on the bed like a piece of wood. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, staring blankly without even blinking.

Deanna felt uncomfortable when she saw Zorian in that state. She was not angry with the fact that Raeleigh had stolen Jepherson away, but she was in fact, mad at Jepherson who took Raeleigh away. Her brother wouldn't have acted that way if it weren't for him.

"Zorion, I went to visit Raeleigh. She didn't leave. She's at home with her grandmother as her grandmother is ill. I told Raeleigh that you're also sick, but she refused to come and didn't believe me. Why don't you send a video to her, and I'll persuade her to come over again?"

That was not the first time that she had deceived Zorion. Deanna had never lied to him, but she found herself doing it a lot recently.

Zorion did not respond. He had been staring at the ceiling and paid no attention to Deanna. Deanna held back her tears and continued to say, "Why don't I ask someone to snatch Raeleigh away? Is that alright? Zorion!"

Zorion blinked and raised his hand and placed it on his chest. Deanna was worried for Zorion. He said nothing and neither ate nor drank.

There was no one at home, and she couldn't do anything. She didn't know what she could do to save her brother. She really wanted to cry and burst into tears multiple times, but she was afraid that something bad would happen to her brother, so she held back the urge to sob.

Zorion kept silent. Deanna covered him with the quilt and acted as if nothing had happened. "You haven't eaten for a long time. Zorion, I've learnt how to cook porridge. I'll cook porridge for you. Wait for me." Deanna immediately headed to the door. As soon as she closed the door, she leaned against it, crying like a child as she covered her mouth.

She felt helpless. It seemed like her hands and feet were tied up, and she couldn't move at all.

After she leaned against the door and cried for a while, Deanna wiped her tears and went downstairs. As she descended the stairs, Santiago changed into house slippers at the entrance and entered the villa. Deanna's cheeks were stained with tears. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face when she saw him. Looking displeased, she berated him in anger. "What are you doing here? Are you here to see if Zorion is dead yet?"

Deanna rushed down as soon as she saw Santiago. She took the servant's rag and threw it at Santiago's face as she glared at Santiago ferociously, frightening the servant.

Santiago turned his face away. The cloth was on his face. His face, that could bring calamity to the country and its people, was as ugly as it could be right then.

But he did not fly into a rage at Deanna.

Besides, that matter was caused by his distrust.

A few days back, Deanna went to him and said that something had happened to Zorion. She asked him to help her, but he refused. He said that Raeleigh also needed help at that time and left them very adamantly.

Santiago had never shown up since, up till that day.

He looked at Deanna's thin face. He had never seen Deanna that way. Her cheekbones have sunken, with her eyes bulging on her face.

"Where's your brother?" Santiago glanced inside the large living room. Deanna pushed him and drove him out.

The servants around them were so frightened that they had their heads lowered. Everyone knew that Santiago was an unreasonable man. He would punish anyone who bothered him in Capital City. The Atkinson family was doing well those few years. With Zorion around, he respected them. He had not bullied Deanna because of Zorion's abilities, whereas Zorion wasn't someone he could easily offend either. Furthermore, the two madams got along well with each other like biological sisters.

Santiago was pushed away, but he wasn't fazed at all. He stood there for a while and continued to look around. When he saw Lennox of the Atkinson family, his face turned cold. "Where's Zorion?"

"He's upstairs." Lennox didn't dare to withhold any information from him. What was more, at that time, Santiago did not come there to fight, at least that was what they thought, judging from his appearance. He wouldn't have changed into house slippers if he came there to fight, right?
