Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1609

As soon as Belle sat down, Raeleigh noticed her nervousness. Belle stared at Louisa as she held her hands tightly as if she was pRhysing for a miracle.

"Auntie Belle, don't worry. Louisa is skilled; she was able to cure Zorion's gastric problem after several acupuncture sessions when none of the doctors could." Raeleigh went to comfort Belle.

Belle raised her head slowly and said to Raeleigh, "Thank you, Raeleigh. I'm really on the verge of breaking down. The doctors all told me he will never be able to wake up."

"Those people were too cruel. How can they do that to him?"

Raeleigh sat down, holding Belle's hand as she said, "Santiago's blessed, Auntie Belle. We can't give up now. You can rest assured that it will be alright."

"Raeleigh, I know he means a lot to you, and I'm grateful for that," Belle said with teary eyes.

Raeleigh said, "This only happened to Santiago because he went looking for me. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap."

"I'm responsible for what happened to him; I can't walk away. This is what I should do. Trust me, Auntie Belle, I will wake him up; I refuse to believe he's okay with parting from us."

"Thank you, Raeleigh!"

Raeleigh just smiled. She knew that the hardest thing for a mother was losing her child, unable to do anything for them.

"Alright."

Louisa moved away, wiped her hands, and tucked Santiago in. Belle immediately turned her gaze to Louisa as she walked toward Belle, saying, "His considerably alright. Although he isn't showing any signs of waking up, I can still try."

"Could you?" Belle didn't want to plunge herself too deep into Santiago's condition to the point that she would neglect everything else, but she really couldn't focus on anything else.

"A vegetative patient is not dead; they may wake up. We just need to find the right treatment. But it's not a guarantee; I can only try."

"Alright, do what you need to. If you need anything, tell Raeleigh. He's in your hands."

"Alright."

Louisa turned back to look at Santiago for a while and began searching for treatments.

Belle held Raeleigh's hands and asked, "Raeleigh, can he really recover?"

"I believe he wouldn't leave without saying a word."

Belle looked at Raeleigh. "I hope you're right."

Belle stayed over the entire day; she even stayed for dinner. It was only then she learned the details of Brooklyn's death.

"Brooklyn had been wise all his life; I didn't expect this to be his ending. He left with regrets, didn't he?"

"Flynt won't leave me be no matter what. We can only seek refuge in your place now," Colston said, and Belle replied, "Don't worry about it. There are plenty of rooms here; you can stay as long as you want. I'd like to see if that fellow has the guts to cross our gates."

After dinner, Belle took a look at Santiago before following Raeleigh out of Fragrance Garden. When she arrived at the door, she talked with Raeleigh for a while and then left.

Raeleigh was about to go back when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around only to be stumped by who she saw.

Jepherson stood a few feet away from her, carrying a bag of fruits in his hand.

Seeing Raeleigh, Jepherson said, "I came to see Santiago."

"Come in then."

Raeleigh walked toward Fragrance Garden, and Jepherson followed right behind.

When they reached the courtyard, Jepherson paused for a moment and looked around. "Everything done?"

After some thought, Raeleigh said, "You can stay, and you can take care of him, but you can't bring anyone else with you."

"Don't worry. The place is yours now, and I'm your guest; I'll do as you say."

With that, Jepherson left the room only to return a few minutes later. The servants had brought his luggage over and placed them at the door; he brought it in himself and finished unpacking in no time.

Raeleigh didn't expect that Jepherson would move in so quickly and quietly.

Raeleigh stayed by Louisa's side the entire time. Louisa put a few acupuncture needles on Santiago to test his reaction, only to get no response from him.

Raeleigh's nervousness grew, and Louisa reminded, "Relax. You're pregnant; it won't do the baby well if you're tense."

"I'm just relaxing his muscles and testing his nervous system. I'll gradually increase the intensity. I don't know how much he can bear yet, so I don't dare to put too much pressure on him."

Raeleigh gasped. "Are you saying he can feel pain?"

"Yes and no. Some even believe that the dead could feel pain even after they stopped breathing. What's more, he is a vegetable. It's just that his brain is weakened, but he can still feel pain."

As Louisa explained, Xanthus added, "It's a common belief in the medical field. It's just that the cranial nerves die when the person dies, and the person will no longer feel pain."

"In this case, few people cared about whether the dead still felt pain."

"When we talk about pain, we're referring to human nerves."

"The nerves in our body can survive for another four days even after we die."

"There are even cases when the hair and nails of the dead would continue to grow after several days into their death. This is why there are stories about zombies."
