Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1756 She Also Didn't Want to Say



Chapter 1756 She Also Didn't Want to Say

Jepherson did not answer her question immediately. He looked at Raeleigh and instead said. "It's okay

if you act dumb, she's still my daughter after all."

Jepherson then stood up and poured himself a cup of water. Even after he drank a mouthful and turned

towards her, he did not continue his line of questioning.

Raeleigh's body gradually recovered while the case went through a few rounds of negotiations. These

negotiations were handled by Stuart together with another but they had yet to come to a conclusion.

Crevor also came to visit Raeleigh two to three times.

However, Raeleigh kept quiet and didn't bother to talk to him during those times. She just laid on the

bed, her eyes fixed onto the ceiling of the ward indifferently as she lapsed into a seldom seen

tranquility.

Occasionally, when Crevor came he would chat with Jepherson, who wouldn't refuse. This made

Raeleigh feel perplexed. Jepherson did not like Crevor, but he could calmly sit down and talk to him. He

even called him Mr. Doyle politely.

Though Crevor was indeed a few years older than Jepherson, Raeleigh rarely saw Jepherson respect

someone so much which made it all so strange for her.

That day, Raeleigh's case was up for trial. Jepherson got up in the morning and accompanied her to

the court. Raeleigh, however, sat in a wheelchair with the excuse that she was still weak, plus the court

registrar didn't comment much over it.

Once she was in the courtroom, Raeleigh laid out her case and made her confession. But towards the

end of the trial, the judge had received a document. After they read through it, they called for the trial

proceedings to be temporarily on hold as some new information had come up.

After the recess, the judge returned after a while and announced their conclusion. The verdict stated

that the cause of the accident was due to Raeleigh's mental wellbeing. Based on the signs shown on

the day of the incident, it was evident that Raeleigh had a mental disorder. Moreover, the documents

had already been sent to the table and Raeleigh had to confirm this.

Crevor was present in the courtroom as well, his seat placed beside Raeleigh's.

Crevor lightly asked her, "This is your last bargaining chip?"

"I do have a mental disorder. I'm one cranial nerve short, so I am prone to seizures."

Jepherson's expression changed slightly as he looked at Raeleigh. "Why did I not know about this?"

"Did you forget that I have a brain tumor?" she asked him, whose face had twisted into an ugly

expression. "You cut off one of your nerves?" he hissed.

Raeleigh didn't answer. Jepherson abruptly turned his face away and said nothing with gritted teeth

and an awful countenance. Crevor stood up and looked at Raeleigh with an indifferent smile. "You win!"

Raeleigh wore a smile. "This is not my last bargaining chip. I actually still have a lot of them. You are

just destined to lose this time."

"Why is that?"

"No reason."

Raeleigh stood up. Some policemen and medical staff went to the examination room with her.

Jepherson tagged along under the identity of Raeleigh's family member, but he could only watch from

outside, separated by a glass window.

Raeleigh was taken to another area after she entered. She wore special equipment that's used to

check Raeleigh's mental condition first. Then Raeleigh went to another equipment where she was

injected with a kind of medicine that relaxed her whole body, in which they conducted another

examination when she was under. It was similar to hypnosis, but not exactly hypnosis.

After Raeleigh woke up, she entered the radiography room to check. Jepherson's face was drained of

all color, as still as a statue outside.

Raeleigh came out from the room and noticed Jepherson's stiff figure. Meanwhile, the security officer

put Raeleigh's result in a confidential box and took it away. Raeleigh and Jephersoon stared at each

other from where they stood. Then, Jepherson broke the stare-off as he strode up to Raeleigh and

carried her in his arms. She intended to refuse, but he said, "There's no wheelchair, I'll carry you."

Raeleigh said nothing then and went with Jepherson to see the judge.

When the judge was ready to pass his sentence, Crevor's attorney raised their hand.

A judge motioned for the prosecutor to speak first who then expressed that they would accept a court

settlement as well as file a claim for compensation.

With that being said, the judge continued to announce once the penalty fine had been paid, she could

leave.

After they left the court, Raeleigh observed the people around her while Jepherson pushed her to the

car. He opened the door and picked her up with the intention to carry her in.

Raeleigh pushed him away, stood up from the wheelchair and shimmied her way into the car.

There were more people that came to pick Raeleigh up in the car that day. Stuart sat in the passenger

seat whereas Jared was the designated driver. Xanthus was inside together with Maverly. When

Raeleigh got into the car, she smiled at all of them as Jepherson followed her in.

His face was noticeably taut with tension as he looked towards Jared and ordered him to drive away.

Jepherson took Raeleigh back to the manor. When they returned, Jepherson sat down and asked

Raeleigh, "Are you sure you want to go back with me?"

"Yes."

Since Raeleigh had made such a decision, there was no need for protest. Only this time, Xanthus

disagreed and immediately questioned her, "Raeleigh, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'm leaving. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble. You have seen it. Now the Doyle family had

come to our door and all of you clearly know what type of people they are. They won't give up until they

see blood on the knife they put at our throats. This incident has already clarified that."

"How can this clarify everything? You obviously know that this is an accident." Xanthus did not think

that the Doyle family would do anything. He felt that these were all directed at Jepherson and had

nothing to do with her. As for this incident, if it wasn't for Jared, the accident wouldn't have happened. If

someone was really to be responsible for this, it would still be Jared, not Raeleigh.

Jared stood to the side with Stuart. He lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Raeleigh refuted, "Nothing would have happened to anyone if the Doyle family had not meddled. Since

they want to open up a competition here, they won't stop. This time it was Jared, next time it could be

you.

Brother, have you forgotten the means Stella had used on you back then? I'm very sure that Crevor's

means are no worse than Stella's. Only when I leave can this place be peaceful once more."

"Raeleigh..."

Xanthus still objected to Raeleigh's decision to leave, while Maverly stood at the side with no clue as to

what was going on and could only listen in silence.

Maverly had always been an optimist, which made her very naive. Although she knew that the world

was not as beautiful as she imagined, she still felt that some things could only happen on TV. But now,

it was totally different.

It was as if everyone was about to be hunted, which was a terrifying notion.

On the other hand, Xanthus was worried about Raeleigh's safety as she wanted to leave without him.

Maverly wanted to intervene but she didn't know what to say. Thus, she just stood there.

Raeleigh said, "Listen to me, things must quiet down here. I need to ensure the safety and comfort of

my family. In this way, I can properly think of ways to go against them. The Doyle family had always

been a stone in my heart. If the Doyle family is not removed, I can't sleep and eat in peace."

Xanthus did not know what else to say and was unable to persuade her.

Beside them, Jepherson asked, "Are you worried that they'll take the child away?"

Raeleigh looked at Jepherson with a funny look. "How many times do I have to tell you? The child is no

longer in this world. What's more, even if the child is still around, she has nothing to do with you.

My identity is another person's wife, why don't you believe me?"

"Alright, let's put this matter to an end. I don't wish to talk about it anymore."

Jepherson's face soured and he did not continue. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Raeleigh didn't want to speak about it either and followed suit.

However, Jared's face went a little dark and he asked her, "You are already married to Austin?"

Raeleigh looked over. Just as she was about to say something, Jepherson's face turned ferocious. "Get

out!"
