Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1788 Raeleigh's Injury

Everyone from the Atkinson family waited at the door as Raeleigh and Deanna returned to Fragrance

Garden. Deanna had absolute faith in Raeleigh, just as she did with Jacky, so she didn't hesitate to go

along with Raeleigh's plan.

Raeleigh walked to the door, but Deanna went in ahead of her. It was the first time she had talked to

her parents so rationally.

It was only three words. "I trust Raeleigh."

What else could Rhys say? The twins were his daughter's babies; she was most unwilling to part with

them out of anyone. But the Doyle family had now thrown everything out the window and wouldn't stop

until one side was completely wiped out.

This was the best option to keep the children safe.

Rhys looked at Raeleigh. "I hope you won't lie to us; you should know you'll be the first to go if anything

happens to the kids."

Although Rhys knew Raeleigh had their best interest at heart, he had to put out his worst intentions. It

was a thankless job, but since she wanted to help, she should bear the responsibility.

Raeleigh knew well Rhys wasn't threatening her but asking for her reassurance.

"The twins will be fine; I can guarantee with my life. I believe if even you can't find the children, the

Doyle family wouldn't be able to either."

"Thank you."

It was all Rhys could say, but to Raeleigh, he had put himself as lowly as he possibly could.

"I only did it for Jacky, so you don't have to take this to heart. In other words, no matter how you plan

on returning the debt, I won't bother. Even if you opposed my idea of sending the twins away, I would

still do what I did. I've only put myself in Jacky's shoes. Deanna is my friend, and he's my confidante. I

won't turn a blind eye to what happens to their children. As for you, I have nothing but respect, so I

hope you can understand my actions."

Raeleigh neither wanted them to repay the debt nor hoped Rhys would hold on to it.

Even if the debt had to be repaid, it would be from Jacky.

"Got it. But we still owe you a debt. Whether you admit it or not, it remains a fact. We will definitely

repay you in the future."

Raeleigh wore a smile, saying, "No one is ever certain about the future. We'll talk about it when the

time comes. Maybe I'll need your help someday when I'm out of options."

Anybody could speak the formalities. Raeleigh was no exception, and she was no worse than Rhys.

As Raeleigh went in and headed upstairs, Deanna saw a massive bloodstain on Raeleigh's left

shoulder and chased after her.

"Raeleigh, are you hurt?"

Raeleigh looked over her shoulder at Deanna and only knew she was injured when she felt the blood

on her back.

"Raeleigh, you're hurt?!"

Belle was horrified and rushed to her. They brought Raeleigh to a room and immediately sent a doctor

over to treat her.

The doctor took out the bullet. She had never encountered someone who walked around with a bullet

lodged inside her without knowing.

"She was fortunate to have the bullet missed her vital organs only by an inch."

The doctor wiped the sweat on her head and took a long time to react. Raeleigh sat unresponsive as if

she didn't hear anything. As it was a female doctor, her actions were delicate.

Raeleigh wore nothing but a bandage from her chest to the rest of her body, leaving only her right

shoulder bare. She looked like a mummy.

Lottie and Belle stayed in the room with Raeleigh, all panicking. Deanna and Scarlette were there as

well.

Rossie was pregnant, so they told her to wait outside, not letting her see blood.

The others also waited downstairs for how Raeleigh was doing.

Rhys only heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor announced Raeleigh was alright.

Rossie also let out a sigh of relief. Seeing his daughter-in-law wouldn't sit, he advised, "C'mon, sit

down. A pregnant woman shouldn't be standing for too long."

"Okay." Rossie did as told. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Calvin stood up and looked at Harvey, who was standing at the door. "Any update?"

Harvey replied, "No one has come out yet. We're not sure what's going on inside, but they're on full

alert. They've probably had him down."

Calvin looked over at Rhys. "What do you plan to do now?"

With an amusing thought in mind, Rhys suggested, "Since they're all not here, why don't we leave it to

the girls?"

His brows knitted together, Calvin retorted, "That's ridiculous."

"Look around; who else do we have?" Rhys took a gander at his daughter-in-law and said, "I've already

handed my power over. Since Zorion isn't here, the decision falls on Rossie; I won't interfere. It's on

you now. I have wanted for the longest time to see who between us is the better one. But we're old now

and no longer fit for the fight. Why not leave it to our children? Deanna will take charge of Waverly

Village with Jacky's absence; I'm sure Jacky won't oppose it either."

"Harvey, do you have any problem with that?"

"No, sir."

Of course, Harvey didn't.

Finding it amusing, Calvin retorted, "Are you out of your mind? Your daughter-in-law is pregnant; mine

is wounded, and Deanna is still as naive as a child. Are you kidding me?"

"You think too little of them. Although they're young, they have accompanied the guys through some of

the most perilous situations. If they don't have what it takes, they wouldn't even be able to marry into

our families, would they?"

"Don't forget, there will always be someone better, and everything has its vanquisher."

Calvin fell into complete silence as he stared at Rhys.

Rossie then stepped in, "Uncle Calvin, now that Dad has left this to me, I wonder if you have the guts

to let Raeleigh deal with it wholly."

Calvin looked over at Rhys. "Birds of a feather flock together, huh?"

Raeleigh was feeling rather weak, hugging a pillow so her back wouldn't feel too painful as she rested.

The doctor was done treating Raeleigh when Rossie knocked on the door, so Lottie let her in.

"Mom, please go out with Auntie Belle. I want to talk to Deanna and Raeleigh about something.

Scarlette, you can stay."

Baffled, Lottie wondered what Rossie was up to being all secretive.

"Rossie, do you have something to ask Raeleigh? You can ask me too."

"I'm not asking but discussing with Raeleigh. Please go down with Auntie Belle; Dad and Uncle Calvin

are waiting for you two."

And out the door, the besties went. Lottie didn't give too much thought to it while Belle told Raeleigh

she was leaving before heading out.

Belle and Lottie exchanged glances after the door closed. They both found the situation strange but still

went downstairs.
