Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1644 Miscarriage

Looking at the time of death carved on the tombstone, Raeleigh then drifted her gaze to Jepherson and

said, "That time, you asked me to help take care of Santiago because you wanted to deal with

Lamarre's funeral?"

Jepherson lowered his eyes and produced a small notebook from his pocket to Raeleigh. "He left you

this."

Raeleigh took it and opened the notebook. The first page was blank, but the rest of the book was

scribbled with some words that Lamarre had wanted to say.

...

"Raeleigh, I'm leaving. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.

I had nothing to be proud of in my life. I had people that I loved, but I had no choice but to leave them

behind with my weak body.

Still, the process was very painful.

Time isn't something terrifying. Compared to loving someone, it would become insignificant.

I've been where you are, so I know well the pain of being unable to be with the one you love, but I don't

like forced love either.

All I want to say is be someone with your own principles.

...

Raeleigh, I didn't want you to know I was sick, so I told Santiago about what needed to be done

posthumously. He was there when I was on my deathbed.

I wanted him to help deal with my stuff, but I didn't want him to tell you about my condition, so please

don't blame it on him.

This book is the last thing I'm giving to you; inside is the heart and soul of my research. I hope you find

it helpful and make you the most talented car designer.

You are the best designer I've ever met, Raeleigh!"

Holding the book tightly in her hands, Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. "Lamarre said he told Santiago,

but he has fallen into a coma. It was you who contacted him all along, wasn't it?"

"I'd always known about Lamarre's condition. He had cancer but refused any treatment as he was

optimistic in facing life and had long been indifferent to life and death.

"When Santiago learned of his illness, he forcefully sent him here for treatment, but in the end, they still

failed to keep his life."

"I took over after Santiago fell into a coma. He only knew that the Harvey family was paying the huge

sum of treatment fee and nothing else, so I came."

Jepherson recalled the past. "You were pregnant; I can't let you take the risk."

Staring at Jepherson's determined gaze, Raeleigh thought of her first child. It was indeed very

worrisome; their first child had died because of her breakdown. If her second child were to be the

same, then Raeleigh...

"It's all in the past now."

Raeleigh squatted down to look at the picture on the tombstone. "Mr. Lamarre, I have my own car

company now. Are you happy for me?"

Slightly surprised, Jepherson frowned. "What did you say?"

Raeleigh said, still looking at the picture, "Do you know Lanven?"

Jepherson was confused. "You're the president of the Bloom Aksea Group?"

Raeleigh nodded, saying, "Lamarre had a girlfriend who he once gave a painting of a lavender."

"I'd hoped that one day, he would come to visit me, but I didn't expect he had passed away three years

ago."

Raeleigh sat in front of the tombstone, leaning against it.

Standing in front of her, Jepherson gave Raeleigh his coat. Raeleigh held the coat but didn't wear it.

She asked Jepherson, "Did he leave anything else?"

"There's also a half-finished sketch." Jepherson had only discovered it when he was packing up

Lamarre's stuff.

Raeleigh thought for a moment. "You still have it with you?"

"Lamarre left you some of his inheritance, but you were gone when I went back. I can't take it for

myself."

Raeleigh wore a smile. "Don't tell me you don't have a kernel of selfishness at all."

"Of course I do. I want you. Don't you know that?"

Raeleigh blushed and diverted the topic. "I want to have a look at the sketch."

"I'll show you when we go back."

"Okay..."

...

The wind blew, and leaves fell. It was quiet all around. Raeleigh spent the entire morning sitting on the

tombstone before leaving with Jepherson.

Raeleigh strolled to the car, never looking back.

Jepherson asked Raeleigh what she was looking at. Raeleigh said she was looking at the person

standing above.

"This is not a goodbye but a preparation for the next meeting. I believe that there will be an afterlife."

Raeleigh said, then went into the car. Jepherson took a last look at the place before entering as well.

When Jepherson drove off, Raeleigh fixed her eyes on the rearview mirror, and a tear fell. She turned

around and wiped her face quickly.

The sky continued to be overcast until an autumn rain fell that night.

Standing by the window, Raeleigh looked at the view with a hint of glum on her face while feeling

restless at heart.

She had never thought that Lamarre would have left this world so Tristany.

Seeing Raeleigh as he came out after taking a shower, Jepherson walked over and held her waist from

behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Isn't it good-looking?"

Raeleigh intended to pull his arms away, but he only hugged her tighter.

Raeleigh gradually loosened her grip until Jepherson asked again, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Raeleigh lowered her head slightly. After a long time, she said, "Something happened to me before I

left. The baby..."

Jepherson's arms flinched slightly, then he let go and turned her around. Raeleigh slowly drifted her

gaze to Jepherson. No intention of hiding.

"You're saying the doctor said you won't be able to bear another child?"

"When I was giving birth, my brain tumor acted up. I still lost him after suffering for half a month. He

was already six and a half months old, but still..."

With a lump on her throat, she turned to face the window.

Jepherson stood behind Raeleigh, holding her in his arms. The room fell deadly silent.

They spent the night with mixed feelings, but no one broke the silence and talked.

After staying up for a whole night, Raeleigh couldn't stand it anymore. She fell asleep leaning against

Jepherson's shoulder before she knew it.

Seeing that she was asleep with a drop of tear in the corner of her eye, Jepherson wiped it away and

carried her to bed.

The rain continued to pour even on the next day.

Jepherson stayed awake the entire night, lying as he cuddled Raeleigh and patting her when she

struggled in her sleep.

Raeleigh couldn't remember if she cried. It was already six in the evening when she woke up;

Jepherson had also fallen asleep cuddling her.

Raeleigh moved his arm on her waist away, got out of bed to change her sanitary pad in the bathroom,

and came out after cleaning.

Raeleigh came out of the bathroom only to find no one on the bed.

Raeleigh looked around for Jepherson and found him returning at the door. Closing the door, he asked

Raeleigh, "Hungry?"

"No. Are we staying for a few days or going back ASAP?"

Raeleigh preferred things to be straightforward.

"There's nothing fun to do here. We'll go back tomorrow morning." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"What about tonight?"

Jepherson fell silent.
