Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1363

Jepherson received a string of unknown phone calls en route to the hospital. After it rang a few times, he had no choice but to answer the call.

He held Raeleigh's hand as he answered the call.

"...."

Jepherson didn't say anything. Then, he heard a familiar voice on the other end of the line.

"Jepherson... it's me..."

It was Stella's voice. Jepherson's fingers twitched a little as he kept his eyes on Raeleigh.

Raeleigh could also hear Stella's voice. She wanted to pull her hand away, but Jepherson tightened his grip on her hand before she could. In the end, she was forced to stay by his side.

"Stella, what's the matter?" Jepherson's voice was calm and indifferent. He forcibly held Raeleigh in his arms.

"I want to leave this place. I'm suffering in this place. Jepherson, can you please come and fetch me?" Stella finally said after a long pause. Jepherson thought for a moment before saying, "Stella, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm very busy, I don't have the time."

"Jepherson... my leg..."

"I know. I will find a way to help you, but I can't come personally and fetch you."

There was silence on the other end.

She hung up soon after.

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. "I'm not fond of Stella. You should stay away from her."

Jepherson looked down at Raeleigh. "I'll promise to stay away from her if you kiss me."

Raeleigh kissed him and quickly turned her head away to look outside the window. Jepherson held her in his arms and said, "I promise."

Raeleigh didn't say anything in return. She believed that actions speak louder than words. Some people liked to make empty promises. For instance, the Cole family. They had promised not to do any bad things, yet they did it.

Raeleigh immediately got out of the car as soon as they arrived at the hospital. She was trying to figure out how to explain what had happened between her and Jepherson. In the end, she decided not to say anything because she had absolutely no idea what they were.

Xanthus didn't ask Raeleigh too many questions when he saw her. There were some things that didn't need explaining.

Although Raeleigh hadn't come back for two days, her complexion had improved.

Santiago was surprised when he saw Raeleigh. He immediately got out of bed and walked over to her. He reached out and pinched her cheeks, making her flinch in pain.

Raeleigh allowed him to continue pinching her. However, Santiago suddenly let go and turned to her. "This is the last time. If he still treats you like that, I will show no mercy and replace him."

Raeleigh stood with her back against Santiago's. She sounded a little upset as she said, "You're young and reckless. Do you think I would take you seriously?"

"I'm not sure about you, but I would take myself seriously."

After saying that, Santiago stepped out of the room. Raeleigh stood in the ward. Fear trickled down her spine, making her numb all over.

Although Raeleigh and Jepherson didn't tell anyone that they had reconciled, it was very obvious.

After eating, Raeleigh went to visit Santiago. He was shirtless in bed. He was leaning against the head of the bed with a blanket around his waist, revealing his upper torso. Raeleigh stood there in a daze, while Jepherson stood there without saying a word.

Raeleigh hesitated for a moment and went over to examine Santiago's injury. "It looks like you've recovered quite a bit in two days."

For the first time, Raeleigh felt that there was something wrong with their way of getting along with each other.

In the end, Raeleigh stopped talking.

There was nothing more to say.

Jepherson went with Raeleigh to visit Stuart. Stuart's condition had stabilised.  Although he was still weak, at least he could talk now.

"Don't worry, I'm going to make sure you recover." Jepherson said as he sat majestically on the only chair in the room.

Stuart was very touched and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mr. Jepherson, those people who attacked me are from the Cole family. I managed to catch a glimpse of them. I even saw Flynt."

Stuart's voice was very weak. Jepherson looked at his hands and placed a reassuring hand on his. "Santiago is currently investigating this matter. Don't worry, we won't let it slide. If the Cole family was the one who did this, be rest assured, I will avenge you."

Stuart frowned. He understood the meaning behind Jepherson's words.

Jepherson patted Stuart's hand. "If it's really the Cole family, it'll be easy to deal with. I'm afraid someone is playing tricks and trying to stir up trouble."

"Although there is the Atkinson family, those who can drive a wedge between our family and the Cole family must not be ordinary people. I am not worried about internal strife, but I have to be on guard against these people."

Raeleigh stood beside Jepherson. When they came in, Jepherson had already turned off the security system so that no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.

Raeleigh had to admire him. Jepherson was always one step ahead.
