Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1707

The date for Raeleigh's second operation was soon set. Xanthus was so busy he didn't even lift his head, while Raeleigh followed Xanthus around every day as he would perform all kinds of examinations in preparation for the surgery.

As part of that preparation, Raeleigh would jog with Xanthus every morning. And every time they had their morning jog, Jared would follow after them. Soon, Raeleigh subsequently felt curious about Cynthia.

"Is Cynthia not around now?"

Raeleigh asked this in a cautious tone. Xanthus replied, "She said that she likes Jared and that the bond between us can only be that of friendship. I'm in pain, but I'll survive.

Love is like this. Only when you feel pain, will you understand what love is."

Xanthus jogged ahead, while Raeleigh kept pace behind him.

Since Xanthus was unwilling to continue the topic, Raeleigh did not ask any further.

The next day, Raeleigh went to Xanthus's hospital and was at the entrance when she received a call from Jepherson. He told her that he had arrived at the airport.

Raeleigh hung up the phone. Xanthus came out just then from the elevator in a hospital coat. He waved her over when he caught sight of her.

Raeleigh briefly hesitated before she went up to Xanthus.

"What's wrong? Your complexion doesn't look right."

"He's here."

Raeleigh didn't know what else to say. In her opinion, every single time Jepherson showed up, it was akin to an oncoming disaster that would make the whole world collapse in a blink of an eye.

It was only a hand now. Would it be a foot the next time?

She had finally managed to spend her days at ease like a normal person, only for the good days to come to an end again.

Xanthus stroked Raeleigh's head. "Him being here is his own business. We will live our own lives regardless."

"Mm."

When she came back from the hospital, Raeleigh saw a vehicle parked outside their front gates. The car evidently belonged to the Harvey family, which was a first for Raeleigh to see it in person. She also spared a moment to feel baffled.

Was it possible that Jepherson had the car flown over?

Jepherson's car was lengthy in size. When it was parked right in front of their gates, there's no hope for any other car to enter.

As their car rolled to a stop, Raeleigh got down together with Xanthus.

The two siblings left their car outside and made to enter.

Jepherson had also got down from his own car and looked in Raeleigh's direction. He saw when she paused in her step at the sight of him and he proceeded to head to her direction.

Raeleigh had reached the gates when Jepherson blocked her entry.

With his eyes fixed on her, his icy countenance changed slightly and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Is your hand much better now?"

Raeleigh lifted her head to look up at him, "Much better."

She was about to get around him after she said those two words, but Jepherson shifted his foot and blocked her way again. Raeleigh lifted her head once more and demanded. "What on earth are you doing?"

"I want my daughter. All you need to do is give her to me and I'll leave right away."

"What is he talking about?" Xanthus lowered his head and asked Raeleigh. "He said that my stillborn child is a girl, and she was his." she replied

"Is he joking around?"

Xanthus looked up at Jepherson's resolute expression. "Whether I'm joking or not is evidently clear. I want my daughter."

"I don't have her. How can I give someone I don't have?"

Raeleigh was unhappy and tried to leave once more. Jepherson grabbed her wrist, unwilling to let her go. She swung her wrist out of his grip as Xanthus shoved Jepherson away. With the sibling's combined power, they were able to break Jepherson's hold on Raeleigh.

Jared, who had been privy to the drama going on at present, thought that this was the family's business and it wasn't good for him to intervene.

Jepherson wasn't angry, but said, "If you don't give her to me, I will investigate and take her away when I find her. At that time, I will never let you see each other again."

Raeleigh froze for a moment. "Then search to your heart's content."

With that said, Raeleigh went back to the manor, but Xanthus stopped at Jepherson's side.

Callis handed a piece of paper to her. Written on it was just a single sentence which simply read, "I'm here for you."

"You came here by yourself? Jacky and the others didn't come to see you off?"

He didn't respond which prompted her next question, "They don't know?"

He remained unresponsive. Raeleigh then asked anxiously, "How did you get your passport?"

Callis then took out a notebook, in which a wonkey sentence was written, "I smuggled my way in."

Raeleigh's expression instantly turned nervous. She looked around and walked towards Xanthus's car as she pulled the mute along with her without a hitch in her step.

Xanthus stood by the car and felt bemused. "Isn't that the mute?"

"He sneaked in." Raeleigh pushed the mute into the car and closed the door after her, all while she spoke to her brother. Xanthus twisted around to look at his passengers as they studied their surroundings. "Don't be so jumpy, no one will know."

They did not continue their trip to the hospital. Instead, Xanthus drove the car back around and brought the mute to their manor.

Before they could enter, they were stopped by Jared who wanted the mute to get down from the car.

Raeleigh stretched her neck out of the window and called out, "Do you even need to mind my guest?"

"I just want to check. Let him come out."

"Get out of the way now, or I'll call the police."

Raeleigh took Jared's hand off the window. Jared wanted to interject but was nTristany run over by Xanthus who had started the car just then and drove past the gates into the manor.

The mute was somewhat unaccustomed to his surroundings and stood unmoving in the house lobby .

Raeleigh had then specially arranged a room upstairs for him, but he took the broken room downstairs instead.

"Are you satisfied now?" Raeleigh stood at the door, still somewhat surprised by his appearance but didn't find it annoying at all.

She joked around with him still as he sat on the single bed. His eyes were placid yet they seemed to suppress something hidden within as they gazed at Raeleigh in silence.
