Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1172

Jepherson, who was lying on the sickbed, opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. There was not a single person beside him. Stuart was standing at the door. He ran over when he saw Jepherson waking up.

"Where's Raeleigh?" Jepherson asked right away as soon as he saw Stuart. Stuart bowed his head. "Miss Raeleigh is fine. She's recuperating in her own ward, but she might not be in the mood to see you."

It was the first time in his life to have lied to Jepherson, who then picked up the things around him and smashed them all. Stuart did not dare to dodge them, and his head was injured in the wake of everything.

Jepherson put down his hand and lay on the bed. He told Stuart to bandage the wound, and the latter complied, retreating from the ward. Stuart found someone to guard Jepherson for the time being.

Jepherson lay on the bed alone, waiting until Stuart bandaged himself up and came back. He felt that he had no strength. His body was feeble, and he seemed to have been drained, breaking out in cold sweat. When Stuart came back into his sight, he moved his lips and asked, "How is Raeleigh?"

He remembered that he had heard someone saying she had been trapped in the elevator, and the ground in it was covered with blood.

Jepherson closed his eyes, heavily. He could not imagine what had happened. It even struck panic in his heart.

"Mr. Jepherson, Miss Raeleigh has had a miscarriage." Stuart was also unclear about how to tell Jepherson the news. Now that Jepherson had found out about it, he merely closed his eyes and did not betRhys the slightest bit of emotion.

Stuart stood still while Jepherson gave an order. "Get the doctor here."

"You have a heart disease, and the doctors said you need to rest," Stuart quickly replied. Jepherson gazed at Stuart for a while. "I know my own body well. Call the doctor over. I won't die from this!"

Stuart could no longer dissuade him. He turned around and walked outside to summon the doctor. When the doctor came, Jepherson asked, "Tell me about my condition. Be honest."

The doctor didn't dare to lie to him, therefore he told him the truth about the physical condition of his body. After hearing it, Jepherson remained silent for a moment. He was the one who had made a mistake. He should be punished by God. He lamented, why had the retribution struck Raeleigh, depriving her of her child?

Jepherson pondered briefly before telling the doctor, "I got it. Arrange an operation for me. I need to go abroad immediately. Don't inform others about this. Stuart, you're fully in charge of it."

"Mr. Jepherson, I'm worried that..."

"Enough, this is the final say. Regarding the consent papers, you can sign it. No doubts are permitted."

Jepherson didn't want to say anything else. Then, he shut his eyes, demonstrating no interest in listening to  Stuart's incoming protests. Stuart had to follow the doctor outside.

The doctors were all disconcerted. Santiago alone was enough to fill them with horror. Right then, Jepherson had also slotted himself into their personal list of doom, bringing horror to the next level.

Anyway, nothing was constant but their mortality, so they might as well just follow Jepherson's order.

They went back and began to prepare for the operation. That night, at 12 o'clock, Jepherson went to visit Raeleigh. He stood outside the door of the ward and peered inside. When Scarlette saw him, she stood up in excitement. But before she could speak, she was stopped by Jepherson. He placed a finger before his lips to hush her.

She said no more. All she did was raise her head to stare at Jepherson, whose eyes were brimming with tears. He stood outside the ward, engulfed in dejection. He didn't even have the courage to push the door open and enter.

At the end of the day, he reaped what he had sown.

He had ignored Raeleigh's wishes and taken her to the hospital, intending to terminate her pregnancy. However, Raeleigh had not been willing to oblige. His sole concern was how conflicted he was, but he had failed to notice Raeleigh's feelings. Not only didn't he regret what he had done, he had also put Raeleigh in harm's way. With such an abominable mistake, how could he bring himself to meet her?

After a while, when everyone was resting, he turned around and glanced at Scarlette. Without saying anything, he walked towards the elevator. Scarlette felt the urge to ask him if he wanted to enter, but she dared not. Her question remained unasked up till the last moment.

Not long after he went into the elevator, Raeleigh rose. She opened her eyes and stared at the door. She knew that Jepherson had come here and just left.
