Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1761 Jared In Trouble

Stuart repeatedly tried to call Jepherson until finally, one of those calls connected. At the same time,

Jepherson had just come out from the conference room.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure. I'm also on my way to the hospital."

Stuart's heart was in his throat all the way, he was so anxious that he was about to faint.

...

Raeleigh was just about to rest when she received a phone call from Jared.

She switched off her phone when she saw it was him who called. The phone never rang again. This

was followed by Jepherson's arrival from outside.

The door to the ward burst open as he skidded to a halt at the doorway. He rushed to Raeleigh's side

and sat down, his eyes darted from one place to another on her figure. "Which part of you has been

frostbitten?"

"Why are you here?" Raeleigh was more than a little surprised. Jepherson's arrival was quite spot on.

The moment the phone was hung up, he was here.

Did Jared make the call when he saw that Jepherson was here?

"You were fine earlier, how in the world did you get frostbite?" He asked instead at the sight of her red

and swollen hands. Then Raeleigh recounted the events of the day from Crevor's arrival onwards. After

he got the whole story, he frowned. "You called me?"

Raeleigh nodded. She also knew, from the look of things, that Jepherson's phone was with Jared and

he hadn't returned it. Moreover, Jepherson wouldn't have known about her call if she hadn't brought it

up of her own volition.

"This is getting more and more outrageous."

Jepherson's expression was dark with rage. Raeleigh said in appeasement, "Jared has his own way of

thinking. I saved his life, and with his character, it isn't unusual for him to want to repay that debt."

"Hmph, it looks to me like he plans to give all of himself to you. I warned him back at the manor, but he

still didn't give up."

Jepherson shot up from his seat as he spoke while Raeleigh said, "You should know better than

anyone that when Jared is determined on what he wants to do, he would never throw in the towel so

easily."

"What do you mean?" Jepherson's eyes burned brightly like torches. Raeleigh didn't want to explain

anything. From the look in his eyes, she could tell that he had misunderstood.

Just like that year, he was also prone to misunderstand things and probed them.

People always said that a woman's thoughts were impossible to fathom, but what about the men?

Weren't their thoughts just as impossible to perceive?

Raeleigh said instead, "I don't think it's necessary for you to use heavy-handed means to deal with this

issue. You and I have nothing to do with each other in the first place. If we have to define what we have

between us, it is undoubtedly lovers.

The word 'lover' is the most unreliable term. If you're compatible, you're one with each other; if you're

not, you separate from each other. When you mention a lover, you also don't have to take it for real.

By now, Austin must already know about the relationship between us. But I still held a thread of hope,

and waited for him to come find me.

Now that he's back, I don't have to worry anymore. I believe that with Austin's ability, he can definitely

protect me.

As for you, you are the one who wants to entangle with me. If something really happens, it is your

business and has nothing to do with me."

Raeleigh finished what she wanted to say at that point whereas Jepherson's face had become

despondent, "I will handle Jared's matter. As for the matter with Austin, I will come up with a proper

conclusion."

"I'm afraid that when he comes to find you, the one who will be in trouble is you." she remarked.

"Then let him come. If he has the guts to come, I'll leave him with no road of retreat."

Jepherson's gaze was vicious as he declared this. Raeleigh, who was laid out in bed, questioned, "I

really don't understand. You have never understood how to appreciate those around you, why is it only

I can?"

"It's not that I don't understand how to appreciate, it's your eyes that are blinded by dust. If that isn't it,

then you just haven't woken up. Don't you know who is right or wrong anymore?"

"All right, enough, I'm tired. I want to rest. Say whatever you like."

Raeleigh pulled the quilt over herself only for her hands to recoil in discomfort.

Jepherson's countenance changed slightly. He bent down to check on Raeleigh's hand. "All right, I was

wrong. Whatever you say, goes. Is that still not okay?"

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson, those soft eyes of hers full of helplessness.

"Jepherson, can't we just break-up from each other?"

Jepherson stared fixedly at Raeleigh's hands, then he carefully placed them underneath the quilt and

sat down. His eyes had darkened when he stared at her, a sense of endless desolation revealed within.

"Raeleigh, I have already lost you once. No matter whether you are still my princess, this time

regardless of the price I have to pay, I will never let you go again. You should know that I will never fall

in love with another person in this lifetime. This will never change, not even in death."

Raeleigh stared at Jepherson silently. To say she wasn't touched would be a lie, but if it was about like,

she didn't want to be stuck in that mire again.

Without a word more, Raeleigh closed her eyes, as if she wanted to rest and not think of anything

anymore.

Jepherson lowered his head to kiss her before he sat by her side.

For a while, he sat there as she slept, until he stood up and headed outside,

At the door, Jepherson looked at Stuart, "Did you hear?"

Stuart was expressionless, his head lowered. "Yes."

"Good."

Jepherson took off in one direction, and Stuart immediately went to catch up. "Mr. Jepherson, for the

sake of Jared's sworn loyalty, spare him this time. I promise he won't do it again."

Jepherson sneered. "Don't you know Jared's temperament?"

"I do, but Mr. Jepherson, Jared has never made any mistakes. Everyone has done something wrong at

least once. At this moment, you are short of people on your side. Forgive him, please. I will go and tell

him not to do this kind of thing again."

Stuart stood behind Jepherson, his pleads like that of a pRhyser.

Jepherson still turned away and stalked ahead.

Stuart immediately gave chase but Jepherson's deep voice rang out lowly, "Get out of here!"

Stuart immediately stopped just as Jepherson entered the elevator and left

As things weren't going well, Stuart instantly ran to Raeleigh's ward to find her.

Raeleigh's sleep was interrupted by Stuart but when she heard that Jepherson had gone to seek out

Jared, she got out of the bed immediately. Stuart had no choice due to the situation, and he was also

worried that something might happen to Raeleigh, hence he hurriedly took off his coat and passed it

over to her. He also found two towels to wrap it around Raeleigh's hand.

The two discussed this matter as they left the ward. Raeleigh inquired into Jepherson's and Jared's

whereabouts but Stuart wasn't sure. Usually, Jared would follow Jepherson everywhere he goes, and Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

he wasn't clear as to the exact location. After all, Jepherson and Jared had always been in sync with

each other.

"But the strange thing is that Mr. Jepherson is able to find Jared every time. He seems to know his

exact location, whereas no matter how hard we try, we ourselves can't find him unless he comes out on

his own."

Raeleigh paused at that. Then she took out her cellphone and made a phone call to Jared.

No one answered. She then told Stuart, "Call him. Use my phone. He must have seen it."

Stuart quickly picked up the phone and called Jared as they walked.

Once outside, Raeleigh got into the car. When Stuart said that the Harvey family car had not left the lot,

she immediately got down again and scanned her surroundings.

Even Stuart had not been able to get through, which caused him to start being anxious.

"Something must have happened."

Raeleigh headed in the direction of the underground parking lot. "Let's go there."

On the way, she accidentally lost her footing, but fortunately, Stuart's fast reflexes caught her in time.

Once he made sure that Raeleigh was all right, they continued towards the car park area. As a result,

what awaited them was the sight of Jared sprawled out on the ground just as Jepherson threw away a

metal bar.
