Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1614

Raeleigh was brought back to her room in the end. Deep down, Belle also hoped Raeleigh would get herself checked, but Jepherson stood his ground.

Regardless of how strong a person was, they couldn't carry a full-grown adult without rest. When Jepherson saw that Xanthus could not carry Raeleigh any longer, he reached out to take her away. Xanthus wanted to stop him but failed.

As Jepherson carried Raeleigh, he instructed one of the servants, "Take Dr. Osteen to Mr. Santiago's room. Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't come out."

"Yes, Mr. Jepherson."

Just like that, Xanthus was forcibly sent to Santiago's room, and the door was locked from the outside.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh was taken back to her room.

Louisa decided to check on Raeleigh only to see she was already tucked into bed. She stood at the door for a while and wanted to explain, but Jepherson said, "She's tired; let her get some rest."

Louisa did not know what to say, so she went out.

Jepherson stayed vigil the entire night, watching Raeleigh sleep as he sat aside.

When Jepherson first entered the room, he caught a glimpse of the book Raeleigh left on the sofa. So, he spent the whole night reading the book. Once he finished reading it, he put it back where he found it. It was only at dawn that he left her room.

Jepherson then made his way over to Santiago's room and excused those people guarding the door.

Xanthus spent the night on the couch, half awake.

When he heard someone enter the room, he opened his eyes and sat up.

Jepherson took off his coat and tossed it aside while Xanthus stood up and walked out of the room.

Jepherson watched Xanthus as he closed the door behind him, then went to bed and tucked Santiago in before going to sleep.

Raeleigh woke up at eight that morning. She opened her eyes and thought back to what happened last night. She had a hunch but only got out of bed. She never brought it up but merely went to Santiago's room after having breakfast.

No one answered the door, but Raeleigh entered still, only to see Jepherson and Santiago lying in bed. So, she walked out, closing the door behind her.

After Raeleigh retreated to her room, Xanthus knocked on her door.

When Raeleigh saw that it was her brother, she said, "I didn't see you at breakfast. Where were you?"

"I'm sorry about last night."

Xanthus came to apologize, but he did not regret his actions. He sat opposite Raeleigh and said nothing more.

Raeleigh said, "I know you did it for my own good."

Xanthus remained silent.

"If the doctors did find something wrong with me and required me to do surgery, then the baby would be in danger. As the baby's uncle, can you bear to lose your niece or nephew?"

Xanthus was silent at first. Then, he said, "If you lose this baby, you can have another one. I only have one sister; I don't mind not being an uncle, but I can't bear the thought of losing my sister."

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Xanthus. "But you don't always get the chance to be a mother."

"Be honest, are you doing this for the baby or the baby's father?"

Xanthus did not expect things would get to this point. He would have allowed her to keep the baby, but not when they were in such circumstances.

Xanthus was not going to agree regardless of who the baby's father was. There was nothing more important than his sister's life. He had to make the right decision.

Raeleigh stopped talking. That was how she acted these days. If she could not outspeak anyone, then she would choose to keep quiet, rendering people at a loss of what to do.

Sometimes, Xanthus thought Raeleigh was a wilful child. No one could get through to her. He could reason with her, but she just refused to listen to anything.

It was like talking to a brick wall.

"Raeleigh, if you keep acting like this, I have no choice but to tell Mom and Dad." Xanthus decided to use his trump card.

Thankfully, it wasn't life-threatening.

It was just that the brain tumor was pressing against her optic nerves, but Raeleigh's eyes did already have a problem, slight astigmatism.

How did it happen? From when she was forced to game.

Raeleigh sat aside and listened as the doctors discussed while explaining to Xanthus about her condition. Xanthus was a leading doctor himself, so he knew a thing or two about neurology.

And the tumor Raeleigh had was indeed not life-threatening.

Even if the brain tumor did rupture, it would not kill her.

After the results came out, Xanthus turned around and looked at his sister. This time, Jepherson sat beside Raeleigh, surprisingly quiet.

"How did you get astigmatism?"

Raeleigh did not answer but only stared at Xanthus. She had already gotten used to wearing glasses; she didn't think it was all that bad.

Xanthus could do nothing about her. She had been this stubborn ever since she had gotten ill.

"Wait for me."

Xanthus went into the doctors' office to discuss his sister's condition.

They suggested she do minimally invasive surgery; it was the best option for her, and she could do it now if she agreed.

After coming out, Xanthus told Raeleigh about the surgery, but she only got up and walked away, refusing to do it.

Raeleigh made her way toward the elevator. With how things ended last time, no one dared to stop her.

After emerging from the elevator, she walked straight ahead, never looking back, and met someone familiar. She stopped, staring at the person as he approached her slowly.
