Go After My Ex-wife

Raeleigh lifted her gaze and stared at Xanthus. Of course, she knew about this. However, she already made her decision.

She thought of something else.

She looked at Xanthus and asked, "Will you get angry if I want to rob you?"

Xanthus had a funny expression. "Why would you suddenly think of this question?"

"Nothing. I just want to know the answer."

"I will give you anything you like. After all, I only have one sister. If I don't, then I will feel bad."

Xanthus chuckled, but Raeleigh asked, "What about the items you treasure the most? The items that you only want to keep for yourself?"

Xanthus thought for a moment, and he then answered, "I will."

Raeleigh smiled. She went to wash her hands, and she then came back to lie down on the bed.

"How is Stuart?"

"Stuart is fine. You should rest. He can already talk, although his speech is still unclear. His condition is stable now."

"That's great. Are you going to visit him tonight?" Raeleigh said as she lay on the bed.

"Yes, I have to. Everyone else is there. It will be inappropriate if I don't go."

Xanthus put on a white coat and stared at her for a while. "I'll close the door now. Have a good rest."

Those were Xathus's words before he left. When Raeleigh heard the sound of the door closing, she was relieved. So, she went to bed. However, as she was sound asleep, a loud noise outside her room woke her up.

Her eyes opened wide, and she stared at the door. Was someone outside trying to open her door?

She thought Xanthus had returned, but she immediately fell silent as soon as the door swung open.

"Why are you here?" she asked as she propped herself up on the bed. Jepherson came in and explained, "I want to spend my night here. Meanwhile, I'll tell you the plan."

At that moment, Raeleigh thought that there was no one else more cunning than Jepherson.

"You can't spend the night here. We haven't even started working together yet. Now is only the beginning..."

Jepherson stood by the door, his arms crossed in front of his chest. The lights in the ward were on, and Raeleigh could clearly see the expression on his face. The look of excitement in his eyes drove her crazy. Indeed, her excuse was far-fetched.

She slapped her forehead and thought, 'Alright. Just one night. It should be fine.'

"Let's make it clear first. Don't mess around, or else, I'll go to the other room and tell your parents about this," she warned.

Jepherson smiled at her serious attitude.

"Santiago is sleeping there. There are only three beds in that room, so I would have to sleep on the floor. Mom is worried about me, so she asked me to come over."

He had made it clear that he came here only because he was following the orders.

Raeleigh felt annoyed.

She pursed her lips and said, "You will sleep in Xanthus's bed."

"Alright."

Jepherson flashed her a satisfied smile, and he then turned towards the bed beside hers. He sat down on the bed and began taking off his clothes. Slowly and gently, he peeled off his clothes one by one. Raeleigh quickly lay down and pulled the blanket over her head. She then turned around to avoid looking at him.

When Jepherson finally went to bed, she turned around to look at him. However, he had already fallen asleep.

She intended to ask him about the car, but right then, it was too late.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly.

...

The sound of footsteps from outside the ward woke Calvin, Jepherson, and Santiago up. The three of them immediately got up and turned to look at the door in unison.

Santiago frowned as he noticed someone walking past the door.

Calvin glanced at Santiago. Santiago did not move, his ears twitching as he listened to the noise.

Belle turned in her bed and mumbled something in her dream.

The sound of footsteps paused. Calvin closed his eyes and pretended to sleep as he hugged Belle and patted her gently.

Belle leaned into Calvin's arms and continued sleeping soundly.

The man outside the ward stopped for a while, and he then walked towards Raeleigh's room after finding nothing unusual.

Another man stood in front of Raeleigh's room. The two of them nodded to each other when their eyes met. Then, one of them pulled out a knife and slid it into the door crack. After fiddling with the knife, the door lock opened with a click, and the door swung open.

The other man pushed open the door, and he then nodded and entered the room, tiptoeing towards Raeleigh's bed. Then, he raised the knife, preparing to stab her with it.

However, the knife fell to the ground with a clang. The man in black took a step back and stared at the person who had hit him with a belt.

"The Harvey..."

Just when Jepherson was about to speak, the man immediately kept quiet and turned around to escape. However, Santiago stood outside the door.

"Trying to escape?"

At that moment, Santiago was already subduing the other man by putting him in a chokehold.

The other man saw that there was no chance to escape, so he tried to attack Raeleigh in desperation. He tried to bypass Jepherson, but Jepherson walked over and kicked him. Then, the two of them began to fight.

Jepherson forced the man into a corner, but the man was not willing to give up. After all, he had a knife in his hand. So, he gritted his teeth and threw himself at Raeleigh. The knife pierced through the blanket, but there was nothing inside. He was stunned.

Jepherson sent another kick to his side, and he fell to the ground with a thump. Meanwhile, Santiago pushed the other man to the side and went over to tie him up.

At that moment, Raeleigh came out of the bathroom, still in shock.

She stared at Jepherson blankly. earlier, he had covered her mouth and took her to the bathroom. When she wanted to speak, he made a gesture, warning her to remain quiet. She had been hiding in the bathroom since then.

Apparently, someone wanted to kill her.

She touched her palms together and realized that they were covered with sweat. She had only seen this kind of situation on TV. She never knew that this kind of incident would happen in real life.

She took two deep breaths and gathered her courage to look at Jepherson and Santiago. Thankfully, both of them were safe and unscathed. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Santiago pulled away the masks from the men's heads.

"Who are you?" Santiago kicked one of them in the shin. However, they only kept quiet. Raeleigh moved to the side and asked, "Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, are you okay?"

Santiago turned around. Belle stood at the door of the ward, also in shock. However, with Calvin by her side, she was less afraid. Besides, she had experienced a lot of things when she was young. This was not as terrible.

"Raeleigh, thank you for thinking about us. They really scared me."

Belle entered the room and took Raeleigh's hand, and then wiped the sweat off her forehead.

After entering the room and closing the door, Calvin looked at the two men on the ground and asked, "Did the old madam hire you?"

Belle was stunned. She turned to Calvin and asked, "Calvin, what are you talking about?"

"I have seen them before." Calvin had indeed seen them before. That was why he knew it. Both of them fell silent. Calvin bent down to untie the rope and said, "Go. Don't come here again." The two of them were scared out of their wits. They quickly thanked Calvin and then ran away. Belle pulled Raeleigh back to her bed. Raeleigh took a long time to recover from the shock.

"Raeleigh... I'm so sorry that you have been frightened." Belle was sad. She thought that it was their fault that such a thing happened.

"Ah..."

"Raeleigh..."

"Mom..."

Raeleigh was at a loss for words, but Belle kept talking. She did not leave until Raeleigh pretended to feel sleepy and closed her eyes. At that time, Calvin, Jepherson, and Santiago gathered outside the ward, and they had decided to have a good talk with Paige!
