Bye, My Ex-husband Chapter 66: It Was Raining

By the time Rayan returned to the ward, he had a lunchbox in his hand.

When he returned to the room, he noticed that Gracie was still asleep.

He took a seat next to her and frequently checked how she was doing.

As he sat quietly by the window, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his face.

"You have to get better as soon as possible.Promise me you'll be okay."

Rayan immediately noticed how warm Gracie's was.

His brows furrowed as he began to get frantic.

He then reached out and touched Gracie's forehead.

It was warmer than it was when he left her.

"What's the matter with you? How could you get so ill all of a sudden? Wait a minute! I'll get someone
to help you!"

Rayan rapidly pressed the bell to call for a nurse as he anxiously looked at Gracie.

What happened to her? He was only gone for an hour.

Why was she so sick all of a sudden? After a few moments, the attending doctor and nurses appeared
in the ward.

They escorted Rayan out of the room and began to examine Gracie.

The cause of her illness was strange.



Typically, a fever would subside once they gave her an injection.

How could she have gotten worse after the treatment they gave her? The doctor and nurses looked
amongst themselves and couldn't come up with a reasonable solution.

"How is she doing?"

When Rayan spoke, his expression was murderous, and made him look like a demon from hell.

The doctor couldn't help but tremble in fear as he faced him.

He didn't dare lie to Rayan, so he had no choice but to tell him the truth.

"The fever should've been gone after the injection we gave her this morning.But Miss Gracie's rather
frail as you can see.We assume that this is the reason why the fever spikes up."

During the examination, the doctor noticed that Gracie’s hair was slightly damp.

Did she do something to herself? The doctor had an idea what she could've done, but he didn't dare tell
Rayan.

After the doctor gave the diagnosis, Rayan looked at the IV pole which held the intravenous drip.

The antipyretics that should've been injected into Gracie's body were set aside, and the liquid was still
dripping.

Rayan strode towards the window and took out Gracie's hand from under the quilt.

The bloodstain on her arm was dry.

He didn't know how long it'd been since the needle was removed.



The sight of blood on her quilt broke Rayan's heart.

He never should've left her side.

The doctor gave her another injection, but Gracie didn't regain her consciousness.

While Gracie was still sleeping, Rayan stepped out into the corridor and called Janessa.

"How is the plan coming along?"

Janessa was immediately irritated when she received a call from Rayan.

Out of nowhere, he ditched her while they were working on an important project to be with his girlfriend.

Although there wasn't much work left, it was still unfair for him to leave her alone at this critical time.

"It's fine."

"Give me an exact answer," Rayan replied impatiently.

Janessa's vague replies made his temper flare.

The two of them couldn't help but quarrel with one another.

It seemed as if it would be impossible for the two to get along.

"It's almost finished.Go take care of your girlfriend!"

Janessa didn't want to talk to him a second longer.

She hung up the call and continued with her work.

Even if Rayan wasn't at work, he still called Janessa several times a day.



He was afraid that she would make mistakes while she worked on the plan alone.

Janessa felt helpless when it came to dealing with Rayan.

By the time Rayan returned to the ward, Gracie was already awake.

"How are you feeling? Are you doing better?"

Rayan asked as he stroked her hair affectionately.

"I'm fine.I have a mild headache.What's the matter?"

Gracie acted like she was struggling to sit up from her bed.

She pretended not to know what happened.

Her fever still hadn't subsided.

She needed to rest some more to get better.

"I'm fine, Rayan.I've been asleep the entire day.Help me sit up so we can chat for a little while."

Gracie's face looked paler than before.

As Rayan looked at her, he thought she looked as fragile as a flower that was about to wither.

"Are you hungry? I brought you some osmanthus cake.Would you like to have some?"

"Of course, that would be great!"

Rayan nodded with satisfaction as Gracie ate the cake.While the two enjoyed the cake together,
Janessa was still in the office hard at work.



Before she noticed, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

After she packed up her things, Janessa went downstairs and noticed that it was raining outside.

Although it wasn't raining heavily, it would still be uncomfortable for her to walk outside without an
umbrella.

She tried to call for a taxi, but after a long time spent waiting, no taxis were available.

It was always hard to get a taxi whenever it was raining outside.

Janessa started to consider whether or not she should walk home.

Placing her bag on her head, she rushed into the rain.

The moment she ran out of the building, it began to rain harder.

Janessa cursed her bad luck and hurried back.

She waited for the rain to subside before she ran home with the bag on her head.

Fortunately for Janessa, her apartment wasn't too far from the company.

Otherwise, she would have no choice but to stay in the office for the night.

Ten minutes after, the rain stopped completely.

More cars appeared on the road.

All of a sudden, a Harley motorcycle stopped beside where Janessa stood.

Surprised by the loud noise of the engine, Janessa unconsciously took a step back from the vehicle.



She looked at the mysterious man with the helmet in confusion.

No one she knew owned a Harley.

"What are you doing here, Janessa?"

The man asked as he opened the helmet's glass cover.It was Eric.When he was passing by, he noticed
a woman who looked like Janessa running in the rain.

He stopped to see if it was Janessa, and it turned out it was her.

"Eric? Nice to see you here!"

Janessa was thrilled to find a friendly face after the night she had gone through.

She unconsciously wrapped her arms around her trembling body.

Her hair was drenched and clung to her forehead.

The thin dress she wore was wet all over.

All of a sudden, a breeze blew and made her tremble even more.

Eric looked at the state she was in and frowned.

He quickly shrugged off his coat and wrapped it around Janessa’'s shivering body.

"But Eric...Aren't you cold?"

Janessa hesitated, savoring the warmth of Eric's coat.

When she noticed that he was only wearing a T-shirt, she moved to return his jacket.



"No, you can keep it.Please put it on.You're all wet from the rain!"

Eric wrapped his coat tighter around Janessa and pulled a helmet out of his trunk.

He helped Janessa put the helmet on.

"Come on!"

Eric was already back on his Harley and waited patiently for Janessa to follow.

Janessa suddenly had a warm feeling in her chest as she looked at Eric.

Sometimes, it was better to have a younger brother looking out for you than a husband.

She got on the motorcycle and leaned against him as they drove off into the night.
