Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1170

After making the arrangements, Santiago pushed the door open and entered. Scarlette watched the door close before she slumped in dejection once again.

Once Santiago had entered the ward, he walked to Raeleigh's side, sat down, and looked at her. Her face was white as snow. This is how a woman was like when she lost her child through miscarriage. Other than that, she was covered in sweat.

Santiago slipped his hand under the quilt and held her hand. It was so cold, just like the hand of a dead person.

After a while, he put her hand back.

Gradually, the sky darkened. Santiago got up and went to stand by the window for a moment before he came back to sit beside her. After that, he stood up again. After enduring one such restless spell throughout the night, he finally sat still.

Soon, it was dawn. Raeleigh also rose at the break of dawn. She opened her eyes slowly and stared into space. Everything felt like a dream, as if they had travelled light-years previously, and were very far away from her!

Raeleigh fixed her hollow eyes on the white ceiling, devoid of any expression.

Santiago extended his hand and placed it on her forehead. He felt her forehead and compared it to his own, making sure that she didn't have a fever.

Getting up, Santiago went to pour Raeleigh a glass of water while she looked at him from the side. He added some sugar into the glass and blew on it, and the finishing touch was putting a straw into it. "Drink some water."

Raeleigh was lying still. He delivered it close to her mouth and pinched down her chin before sticking the straw into her mouth with a poker face. "The baby may be gone, but you can always have another in the future. If you're gone, then there will be nothing left."

"I have already figured out what happened. He deliberately found someone to irritate you. He must have encountered a certain issue. I will ask him later. There's a problem with his heart and he is currently still in a coma."

Raeleigh frowned. "In a coma?"

She turned her face away and did not drink the water. She contemplated something, but she couldn't figure it out.

Santiago put down the glass and stared momentarily at her. "You should know that he wouldn't have committed such an idiotic mistake for no reason."

Looking back at him, she placed her hand on her belly to stroke it quietly.

Santiago glanced at her hand. "This child isn't fated to come and meet you, but it's okay. You'll have twins in the future to make up for it."

Raeleigh fell into a stupor. It took her a long time to turn her head away. She lapsed into silence the whole time.

Santiago had been sitting  by her side for a while when Cynthia knocked on the door from the outside. Actually, she had already arrived earlier, but she didn't come in because she saw them talking inside. She had been standing outside all the while.

The knock at the door drew Santiago's attention. He stood up and opened the door, taking in her luggage.

Cynthia had a pair of bloodshot eyes. Hearing the news that Raeleigh had had a miscarriage, she had cried along the way here. She had gotten over it initially after she reached here, but when she saw Scarlette's teary face, she began to be overwhelmed by the sorrow again.

She had just sobbed before she wiped off her tears and entered the ward.

Santiago smiled. "What are you crying for?"

She lowered her head and didn't answer as Santiago set the luggage aside. She quickly took off her jacket and approached Raeleigh. "How are you doing?"

Before this, Raeleigh couldn't bring herself to smile no matter who came to visit her. That said, she managed to force a smile when she saw Cynthia.

"I'm fine. Why are you here?" Raeleigh glanced at the huge luggage. Cynthia replied, "Scarlette doesn't know how to take care of people. I'll do it."

"There's no need for that. I'm fine." Raeleigh did not even have the strength to speak. Obviously, she was just putting on a brave face.
