Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1155

The next morning, when Raeleigh opened her eyes and saw Jepherson, she was a little stunned. She did not expect Jepherson to show up at that moment.

Raeleigh wanted to sit up in bed, but Jepherson quickly placed a finger on his lips, gesturing for her to continue sleeping.

Raeleigh took a quick look around the ward and realized that everyone was still asleep. She was the only one awake.

However, Raeleigh refused to go back to sleep and immediately sat up in bed. She had a lot to say to him. She needed to get all of those thoughts and feelings out of her head, or else she might feel uncomfortable.

She disregarded Jepherson's instruction and immediately got off the bed to put on her shoes. Then, she pulled Jepherson out of the ward into the corridor. She wanted to blurt out those thoughts in her mind, but just as she was about to do so, she heard Jepherson say, "Raeleigh, I have something to tell you."

Raeleigh stood in the corridor and turned to look at Jepherson, slightly confused. "What's the matter?"

Raeleigh wondered what Jepherson needed to tell her.

"I don't know how I should tell you." Jepherson raised his hand to stroke Raeleigh's face. Raeleigh felt that he was acting a little weird as she held his hand. "You can tell me anything."

"I let you down," Jepherson said. Raeleigh stared at him and asked, "What did you do?"

Jepherson did not answer her question. "Forget it."

Raeleigh frowned. She had a lot she needed to tell Jepherson, but at that moment, she could not bring herself to say anything.

She pursed her lips and she then asked, "What can't you tell me?"

"Nothing. Your hand is injured. I think it's best we wait until it's healed before we have a talk," Jepherson said as he reached out for Raeleigh's hand and started walking. She asked, "Aren't we heading back to the ward?"

Jepherson said nothing and decided to bring Raeleigh elsewhere.

It was only when they arrived did Raeleigh realize that he had brought her to a cafe. She lowered her gaze to look at her clothes and was glad that she was dressed in her own clothes, if not she would be embarrassed.

Jepherson had ordered an assortment of food. Raeleigh felt full just by looking at the food. There was way too much food for the two of them.

"This is too much. It's impossible for us to finish all of them," Raeleigh said as she looked at Jepherson. He smiled and gave her a shrimp dumpling, saying, "You're going to have to eat more. If we can't finish it, then we can have the staff pack it up to give it to Scarlette and the rest."

"What? You're going to give them our leftovers? You should have ordered less instead and place another order for Scarlette." Raeleigh did not like wasting food. They could not finish it, so they could pack the leftovers to prevent wasting food, but she felt bad giving Scarlette and the rest their leftovers.

"Then, you have to eat more," Jepherson replied with a single sentence, but there were no happy emotions in his eyes. Raeleigh could tell just by looking at him.

"Jepherson, is there something wrong?" Raeleigh tried to ask. He shook his head and said, "No."

"Why do you look upset then?" They were a couple. They could tell whenever the other was in low spirits.

Jepherson took a bite of his food and said, "It's nothing. Let's eat."

No matter how hard Raeleigh tried, Jepherson would not confide in her. In the end, Raeleigh gave up trying. Breakfast was depressing. After their meal, Raeleigh packed up the leftovers and went back to the ward with Jepherson. Raeleigh then asked Jepherson where he had been those few days and why he had not been answering her calls.

"I had awful cell phone reception. I was looking for someone and had also been busy with Deanna's affairs," Despite Jepherson saying so, Raeleigh did not believe it, but she could do nothing. Since Jepherson did not want to tell her, she was not going to ask anymore.

When they arrived back at the ward, Jepherson entered the door and placed the food on the table. Raeleigh felt bad, so she said, "We brought you all some leftovers. Don't worry. We did not touch them."

Raeleigh was very careful when she ate. She made sure not to touch the food that she did not want to eat.

By then, Santiago was already awake. He had washed his face and brushed his teeth, and was currently sitting up in bed.

He pointed at the breakfast when he saw it. Cynthia went over and grabbed it for him. He opened it and waited for Cynthia to feed him.

Scarlette, who was standing at one side, was impressed by Santiago. He sure knew how to capture a woman's heart, and Cynthia was a perfect example.

After everyone had their breakfast, Raeleigh handed Xanthus a box of shrimp dumplings and said, "We did not touch this one either."

"It doesn't matter even if you did. I don't mind." Xanthus accepted the box, sat down on the bed, and began eating them. Raeleigh turned around and told Jepherson, "Come here, there's something I need to tell you. It might come as a shock."

Raeleigh pulled Jepherson over to Xanthus and said, "Dr. Osteen and I are destined to meet in life. I've regarded him as my brother."

Jepherson gave Xanthus a once-over. He did not seem to be glad, but he did not argue with her. He knew Raeleigh's temper, but he did not smile. All he did was to say, "I know."

Raeleigh froze for a moment and she then turned to look at Jepherson. "Jepherson..."

"I have never had a good impression of him, but I don't object to you being his sister." The meaning behind Jepherson's words was evident. He had a right to intervene with Raeleigh's personal affairs, but he was not going to get along with Xanthus just because of her.

Raeleigh felt uncomfortable. She felt that she should not have told him yet. However, she was worried that Jepherson would misunderstand her, and right then, it seemed that he had indeed misunderstood her.

"You've misunderstood. Raeleigh and I..."

"Whether I've misunderstood anything is my own business. Sorry, I don't feel well. I'm going to head out and get some fresh air." Then, Jepherson turned around and left. Raeleigh watched as he left, not knowing what to say.
