Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1838 Letting Go

Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for

me to run away.'

"Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Harvey is waiting for you."

Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair

outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day."

Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite

being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to

escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move."

Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate.

Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed.

Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up

immediately. She raised her hand and grabbed his wrist as he pressed his hand on her lower abdomen Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

and felt the baby's movement carefully. As expected, there was a pulse.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with his dark eyes, then asked, "Is it more than two months old already?"

Raeleigh did not answer and pulled away his hand.

She stood up and turned around, walking back into the house.

After sitting outside for a while, Jepherson called Scarlette and Hadrian. At that time, neither of them

knew that Raeleigh had already returned home safely, and they were still busy searching for her. Since

Jepherson did not call off the search, they did not come back.

This time, when Scarlette finally reunited with Raeleigh, she was so excited that she cried.

Raeleigh sat there with a neutral expression on her face, holding back her emotions. She could not

believe that after so many years, Scarlette still cared for her so deeply.

However, the doctor told her not to be too excited, so she would not cry. She only stared at Scarlette

until Scarlette hugged her and cried. Then, she said slowly, "The doctor told me not to cry. You don't

have to cry either. It's bad for the baby."

Finally, Raeleigh told the truth. earlier, Jepherson did not force her to do the maternity check because

she refused to.

Scarlette was surprised to hear that Raeleigh was pregnant.

"Raeleigh, will it be dangerous? At your age..."

"Scarlette, have you been living too comfortable recently?" Jepherson questioned in a cold voice before

Scarlette could finish her words and she immediately shrank with fear. She carefully looked at Raeleigh

and said, "It should be all right. You are only thirty, right?"

Raeleigh did not answer. Instead, she glanced at Jepherson. Scarlette asked Raeleigh again, "Do you

feel uncomfortable..."

"Scarlette, leave," Jepherson cut her off.

Then, Hadrian added, "Scarlette, come out for a moment."

It was only then that Scarlette got up and left. After Scarlette and Hadrian left, Jepherson said to

Raeleigh, "Let's go do a check-up later and see if the baby is well. Nothing will happen to you at your

age."

Raeleigh retorted, "I never said that anything would happen to me. You're the one who said that."

She lowered her gaze and looked around. "Since you called Hadrian and Scarlette over, it means that

you are recovering well. I can finally take a rest. I will not cook today."

Raeleigh got up, feeling exhausted.

She went back upstairs and lay down to have a rest.

Jepherson sat downstairs for a while. Then, he got up from the wheelchair.

Raeleigh heard someone coming up, but she could not hear it clearly. She thought that the footsteps

sounded heavy.

She opened her eyes and sat up. She knew that Jepherson was not just pretending to be sick. He was

risking his health.

After a while, Jepherson came up from downstairs. As he only had little strength, it was challenging for

him to walk up the stairs. When he arrived, he stood at the staircase, watching Raeleigh.

Raeleigh pursed her lips as if in deep thought.

Then, she asked, "How did you get here?"

"I walked here."

Jepherson walked toward Raeleigh. When he stopped, he wobbled a little. Raeleigh raised her head to

look at him. His forehead was covered with sweat. Fixing his gaze on her, he slowly bent down and sat

beside her, his face turning red from exhaustion.

Raeleigh took a towel to wipe the sweat of Jepherson's forehead as he lay down, holding her hand.

She immediately took off his clothes, then grabbed a basin of hot water and began wiping the sweat off

his body. Later, she poured him a cup of hot water and covered him with the blanket. The two of them

did not speak and only stared at each other. He held her hand tightly and closed his eyes.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at Jepherson, wondering what he was going to do.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Scarlette asked Hadrian, "Why is Mr. Jepherson sitting in a wheelchair?"

Neither Scarlette nor Hadrien knew what had happened during this period. Hence, they were equally

confused as to why Jepherson was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Jepherson wants to use this method to let Raeleigh stay. Raeleigh can leave whenever she wants,

so he can't force her to stay in any other way. He can only use this method to secure her heart,"

Hadrian replied.

Scarlette shook her head and said, "But I always believe that Raeleigh will leave sooner or later."

"Mr. Jepherson needs someone to take care of him. Remember to keep an eye on Raeleigh during this

period. Don't let her leave."

"You men are so selfish. How could you force the girl you like to stay with you? The world is endless,

why couldn't he let Raeleigh do what she wants?"

"It's none of your business."

...

When Jepherson woke up, he noticed Raeleigh looking down at him. After he propped himself up,

Raeleigh asked him why he got up so soon.

"I'll stay by your side and accompany you until the child is born."

Raeleigh said nothing, and Jepherson added, "I missed Shaney and Francisen's births, so I can't miss

it this time."

Raeleigh felt that something was amiss, but she said nothing.

From that day onwards, Jepherson began to walk on his own. He ate a lot and took many supplements

every day. There had always been no problem with his health. It was just that he had been intentionally

delaying his recovery for so long that he almost collapsed.

Now that Jepherson wanted to get better, the people around him became busy too. It wasn't long

before he finally recovered and returned to his usual state. When Raeleigh was downstairs, she heard

Jepherson walking down the stairs.

Winter came in the blink of an eye. Raeleigh was unwilling to step out of the house. At noon, Jepherson

persuaded her to go out for a walk, insisting on taking her out even if they would only stand in the

courtyard for a while.

Raeleigh welcomed the first snow of Tristany winter outside. At that moment, Jepherson was making a

phone call at the door. She stood in the yard and raised her hand to catch the snowflakes when it

began to snow.

It was a cold beginning for Raeleigh, but her heart was calm for the first time in ten years. It was as if

she was waking up in a dream that did not belong to her. Although she was confused, she was slowly

letting it go.

She was letting go of her persistence, the past and the future.
