Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 897

The waiter served the food and politely greeted them before leaving.

Deanna tugged on Zorion. "Zorion, do you like that?"

"I do." Zorion's gaze was fixated Raeleigh when he spoke. He thought that would elicit some reaction out of Raeleigh, but she just lowered her head and began to eat.

Scarlette also tucked into the food. Matters seemed to be getting more and more complicated. Scarlette was of the mind to report the matter to Jepherson.

"Raeleigh, Zorion likes it that way," Deanna informed her proudly. Raeleigh did not answer. After eating, she took in their surroundings. She liked observing. Without observation, one would never notice anything. Only with observation could one find inspiration.

Zorion did not eat much. He took a trip to the restroom after he was done eating. When he came back, Raeleigh was hanging around at the spiral staircase, looking at the crowd below. Scarlette and Deanna were examining their phones.

Zorion walked toward Raeleigh, mimicking her posture, and looked down. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing much."

"You say it's nothing much, but you're looking so attentively. What would you look like if it was really something?"

Raeleigh gave Zorion a glance and turned to look at Deanna and Scarlette. She then said, "What happened that night was a misunderstanding. If you misunderstood something, can I clarify it to you?"

Zorion let out a sudden bark of laughter. "It's not a misunderstanding to me. If you think that a man's first kiss is a misunderstanding, then I can only shrug at how unlucky I am."

First kiss?

Raeleigh looked at Zorion in surprise. Did he say that it was his first kiss?

Zorion turned to face Raeleigh. "If you're afraid of pain, it's better if you don't pierce your ears."

After he said that, Zorion swiveled around and walked back to Deanna and Scarlette. He sat beside Deanna and watched her fool around with her phone. Raeleigh was a little stunned. It was Zorion's first kiss?

Raeleigh faced away from them. She wanted to escape somewhere, but her feet remained planted to the ground there the whole time.

Deanna finally got a handle on how to use her new phone. She walked to Raeleigh's side and said, "Let's go back."

Raeleigh was caught off guard. Her face drained of color, as if she had been caught stealing.

"Raeleigh, are you okay?" Deanna asked hurriedly. Raeleigh shook her head and replied, "I'm fine."

"That's good. You must have been frightened by me. You're too timid. I won't be that brash next time." Deanna felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

"I'm fine. I'm just dizzy after standing for too long. It's too high up here. Come on, let's go back." Raeleigh stepped forward. Deanna hurried to chase after her, hugging the teddy bear that Zorion had bought for her. Raeleigh was particularly quiet on the way back. Her mind was occupied with the incident that night. The mess was only getting messier.

After returning to the hospital, Raeleigh went to lie down first. As her hand could not come in contact with water, she did not intend to shower. Even if Scarlette offered to help, she would not do it.

"Aren't you going to shower?" Scarlette asked, seeing that Raeleigh was lying down.

"No. You guys can go ahead." Raeleigh was feeling downcast. When she thought of the fact that it was Zorion's first kiss, her emotions went into turmoil. She put the quilt over her head to go to sleep.

Deanna asked, "Raeleigh... what's up?"

When Deanna talked, she would drawl like a child. Raeleigh would ordinarily answer her, but she could not do it that day.

Raeleigh lay under the quilt and said, "The light is too bright. I want to rest. You guys should rest too."

"You'll suffocate inside there. Be careful," Deanna reminded her. Then, she walked away, taking off her clothes for a good rest.

Deanna responded with an 'oh' and sat down. Perhaps it was in her head, but Zorion had reacted poorly, as if he did not want Raeleigh to return to Tamberland.

The ward was quiet for a time. When she got out of the bathroom, Scarlette felt that something was off with the atmosphere, but she felt at ease as she had already informed Jepherson about the situation there.

"Raeleigh, I bought a laptop. Why don't we play some games?" Scarlette took it out, but Raeleigh showed no interest in it. She said, "I don't want to play. I want to go downstairs for a walk."

"Is there anything to see downstairs?" Although Scarlette was not in the mood to go out, she put the laptop down when she saw Raeleigh's expression. "I'll go with you."

"It's fine. I want to walk alone." Raeleigh stood up and put on her shoes. Scarlette followed worriedly. Deanna also stood up, ready to go out with them.

Since so many people wanted to tag along, Raeleigh stopped in her tracks.

"All right, we'll stay here." Scarlette realized that Raeleigh felt a little uncomfortable. She had just wanted to go for a walk but she would have that many people hovering around her. Thus, Scarlette allowed Raeleigh to go alone. Anyway, there were people around downstairs.

Raeleigh then left out the door. There was nowhere in particular that she had in mind. She trotted downstairs towards the yard, finding a bench to sit on, in a stupor.

Someone passed by and kicked a football toward Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at it and picked up the ball to give it to the kid.

The child smiled innocently. Raeleigh stared at the child. Suddenly, she recalled something from her childhood. It was the fire.

When she thought of it, her face became pale. Too many people had died, too many people. If Novalie did not save her from that place while she was passing by, she would have been like those children, burned to death.

Raeleigh did not want to find out about her past. She just wanted to live quietly without anyone bothering her.

However, one could not erase what had happened. The sudden fire was like a nightmare that Raeleigh could not escape from.
