Semua Bab Getting my ex-wife back: Bab 1451 - Bab 1460

When Xanthus saw Raeleigh crying, he held her even tighter and looked sharply at Jepherson, who had his gaze at the sibling. Jepherson walked to them and said, "This is my fault." "I'm a little tired today. Mr. Richards, please go back." Xanthus patted Raeleigh as he continued glaring daggers at Jepherson. Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh..." "Please leave. I need to calm down." Raeleigh turned around and looked at Jepherson. She really needed to calm down; if it went on, she'd break down. Jepherson frowned and looked at Xanthus. "Help me take care of her." Then, he walked past them and entered his car. Raeleigh stared at Jepherson's retreating figure, and her heart sank. He kept telling her how important trust was, and he promised that no matter what happened, he would always protect their relationship. But... Why did he always make her worry? She watched the car leave, then looked up at Xanthus. "Are you alright?

"You... Why did you yell at her?" Xanthus growled. Santiago let out a sigh and asked, "How much did you take?" Santiago was done making Xanthus talk at this point. Since Xanthus was conscious, he could probably make it through. However, Xanthus was upset, refusing to speak. Raeleigh moved to sit beside Xanthus and squeezed his hand. "Say it." "Sixty grams," Xanthus replied weakly. Santiago looked at Jacky. Then, Jacky said, "Meth cannot be consumed directly but with water. Did you swallow directly?" Xanthus nodded, and Jacky continued, "Thirty grams can already cause poisoning, and even enough to cause a fatal overdose, let alone to ingest sixty and to swallow directly at that." "What should we do?" "I can make it through." Xanthus gripped Raeleigh's hand tightly. She looked at him, holding back her tears. Santiago stood up. "Let's go to the hospital." Xanthus shook his head. "I can't. I'm a doctor; ingesting meth is against t

Raeleigh didn't sleep a wink. Xanthus's rapid breathing finally soothed, and he had fallen asleep late at night. Seeing so, she sat up from the sofa, her gaze turning to Animal World playing softly on TV. Raeleigh had loved watching the program ever since she was a child. Although it was the same few episodes, there were no complex relationships or ugly lies and deceits. Everything seemed so pure and simple. Because of that, she was drawn to it without hesitation. Before meeting Jepherson, she had never thought about marriage, let alone falling in love. She longed for a simple life. The sort that she could go home to watch TV alone when she was tired, accompany her grandmother, take her to see the world, or try new food. That was all. She had experienced death once, and she was afraid of going through it once more. However, the current situation had escalated way beyond her control. So much so that she didn't know what to do. Her eyes traveled throug

Xanthus was silent the entire time. Jepherson continued, "Not to mention, Stella almost lost her life saving me. I will never forget that." "So you'll betray your conscience?" Xanthus asked, amused. Jepherson did not refute but said, "I am very clear about the feelings in my heart. I pour my heart and soul into all my relationships, just as my love for Raeleigh." "Although what Stella did was wrong, I did not side with her, nor am I blindly being partial. I need to get to the bottom of this and measure the interests involved as well." "The Doyle family is no ordinary family. If I make a move on Stella, I would have to consider the Richards family's future." "The Capital City is full of dangers, and I don't have the confidence to secure the situation. Flynt is in no condition to lead the Moore family, and Colston has taken over. Colston is no simple man; he would negotiate before resolving in brute force. I don't want to just jump to conclusions." "Yo

With that in mind, Raeleigh refused Jepherson. Xanthus said, "If you're not going to the company, what are your plans?" Raeleigh shook her head. "No plans." "Since you're free, let's go out for lunch," Xanthus said as he glanced at the time. Jacky had been here for some time. Seeing they were heading out for a meal, he glanced at Santiago. "Are you going back with me or staying?" "I'm staying," Santiago said as he lay on the sofa. He was also a patient; it didn't matter where he went. And just like that, Jacky left. After he was gone, Santiago stood up and looked at Xanthus. "I want to take a shower." Xanthus looked at him. "And you want me to help?" "Am I supposed to ask Raeleigh then?" Santiago said, amused. He took off his clothes as he went to the bathroom downstairs, not forgetting to tell Raeleigh, "I need a change of clothes." And off she went. With that, Xanthus could only follow Santiago to the bathroom and assist him. As Raeleig
