My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 410 Baby Is Healthy

When they arrived at the hospital, Julie and Rachel were stunned to see it was crammed with people. After finding an empty seat for Rachel, Julie went to the registry desk to get the number. Sitting all by herself, Rachel looked at the passers-by. Realizing Julie would be back soon, she put her bag on the seat next to her, reserving the seat for Julie.

Julie was back within a few minutes. She looked up at the screen on the wall and then looked down at the paper in her hands. Doing a quick mental calculation, she announced, "Miss, there are seven people ahead of us. This will take a while."

Rachel smiled and said, "It's alright. I don't mind waiting."

Julie nodded and kept the number token inside the medical record. After a while, she looked at Rachel and asked, "Miss, why didn't you just let Mr. Fu to take a shower and send us to the hospital? It would have been nice to have him with us. If he was here, you wouldn't have had to wait. I am sure of that."

"Like I said, I don't mind waiting," Rachel replied. Even though she tried to look fine, her hands subconsciously went and pressed against the back of her waist. She was indeed in pain. Her belly had gotten quite big recently. After sitting there for a long time, she was beginning to feel discomfort. Her body was getting sore.

Her pain didn't go unnoticed by Julie. Keeping aside the medical record, she reached out and rubbed the back of Rachel's waist. "Miss, Mr. Fu really cares about you. If you both are fighting, then I highly suggest you talk about it and sort it out. If you both don't talk about it, how will you fix it?"

In the past few days, Julie had taken the full responsibility of Rachel's diet. Being with her all the time, she noticed something was off about her relationship with Jack. Now she wanted to help them sort things out.

Seeing that her words hadn't offended Rachel, Julie went on. "How is it possible for two people to live together without a little arguments? Let bygones be bygones. Such fights are known to make a relationship stronger. But things need to be fixed, so hurry up."

Although Rachel knew all these things, she couldn't look past Jack's mistake.

There was a time when she didn't love him. Back then, it was easy for her to turn a blind eye to these matters. But ever since she fell in love with him, her expectations from him became high. Even the smallest mistake from his part would hurt her.

Before she could dwell more on these thoughts, the nurse's voice came from the door. "Rachel Shen, come on in."

Rachel slowly stood up and took the medical record from Julie's hand. She smiled and said, "Julie, I can go in by myself. You wait for me here."

On the other side, Scarlett was sitting in the cafe, impatiently waiting for Jack's call. The girl sitting opposite her snapped her fingers, trying to gain Scarlett's attention. "Can we leave now? Besides you can answer his call wherever you are. There is no point in sitting here," she said, looking a bit frustrated.

"What if I don't hear the phone ring?" Scarlett asked, looking a little worried. Looking at her phone, she muttered under her breath, "Why didn't he call me yet?"

Just when she was about to give up, her phone suddenly rang, instilling her with hope. Scarlett's expression changed. Composing herself, she picked up the phone. "Hello?"

A shrewd look flashed through Jack's eyes. In his typical, cold voice, he said, "I'm Jack Fu. Where are you now? I'll pick you up."

'Pick me up...'

Hearing this, Scarlett couldn't help but smile. She was overcome by an urge to accept quickly. But she knew that wasn't how things worked. Suppressing her excitement, she cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Fu, you can say it on the phone if you have something to tell me." Jack frowned and said, "I wouldn't have asked you out if it was something that could be said through the phone."

"But, I..." Scarlett still wanted to show her unwillingness to meet him. However, Jack wouldn't take no for an answer. "Just give me the address!" he ordered firmly.

Obviously, he had no patience to listen to her nonsense anymore. Scarlett had to change her plan and tell him her address.

The doctor handed the B Ultrasound report to Rachel, pointed at the blurred B Ultrasound picture on it and said kindly, "Previously, your prenatal checkups were not done in our hospital. I don't know the specific situation, so I can only get a general understanding of it through the examination report you brought here. But it's obvious that the baby's development and nutrition are much better than before. You don't need to supplement anything special. Just keep it as it is. This is doing your body good."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

Hearing the doctor's positive response, Rachel was relieved. Julie couldn't wait any longer since the anticipation was killing her. As soon as she saw Rachel walk out, she asked, "Miss, what did the doctor say?"

"Everything is fine."

Seeing the smile on Rachel's face, Julie was relieved. She couldn't wait to go back home and inform Jack about today's appointment. Perhaps he would give her a rise next month!

This was why she enjoyed her job so much.

However, when they arrived home, Julie looked around, but didn't see Jack. Julie was about to ask Rachel about it, but noticed her sitting on the sofa and reading the magazine. She realized Rachel didn't care whether he was there or not.

In truth, as soon as they came in, Rachel's eyes had fallen on the pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet. She knew he was away, but wouldn't ask him where he was. 'It is none of my business," she told herself.

Rachel was a little tired after what happened today. She yawned and was about to make her way to her room. Just then, her phone rang. "Rachel, why don't you tell me since you are back?"

Celia asked from the other end of the line.

Rachel smiled and replied, "But you already know, don't you?"

"Humph, is that your excuse? If Marcus hadn't told me, I would have only known about it after you gave birth to the baby. What do you have to say about that?"

"I'm sorry, Celia. Please don't be mad at me."

All the while, Rachel was smiling. Celia was like a baby who was annoyed easily. There was silence from her side. Rachel wondered if she had already kept the phone. Then in a brisk tone, Celia said, "I have heard of this new Japanese restaurant. I am dying to eat there. However, my wallet doesn't agree."

Rachel instantly understood what this woman was aiming at. She couldn't help laughing. "I will treat you Celia. Will you forgive me then?"

"In that case, I forgave you already. If you aren't too busy, shall we go now?"

Rachel's smile deepened. Standing up, she mumbled something to Julie. Then she took a taxi to the Japanese restaurant mentioned by Celia. Celia had been waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Rachel, she waved at her and said, "Rachel, hurry up."

When she realized her blunder, she covered her mouth apologetically. Then she immediately trotted to Rachel and held her arm. "Rachel, I am sorry for being so stupid. Don't hurry. Walk slowly and take all the time you want."

Celia was quite a spectacle. Her words sent Rachel laughing. Once she was done laughing about it, she said, "It's okay. I am almost four months pregnant now. The baby is stable."

"Is it so? In that case, how about you speed up? Just a little," she added with excitement. Celia stretched out her hand and made a gesture for Rachel to walk faster. However, she also grinned with a guilty conscience. "This restaurant is doing well. I'm just afraid that there won't be any seats vacant for us," she explained.

Rachel thought Celia was exaggerating, but once they were in, she was stunned to see they had only two seats available. What was more was that all the private rooms had been booked.

Celia didn't seem to care much about the private rooms. She was here for their food and she was thrilled have found themselves a spot to sit. Looking around and pointing at the empty seats, she said, "Let's quickly occupy those empty seats."

Even before pregnancy, Rachel wasn't too fond of Japanese food. But in this condition, her appetite had gotten even worse. She was in no mood to eat. However, seeing that Celia was looking at the menu with her bright eyes, she didn't want to disappoint her. She let her order as she pleased. After the waiter left, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Rachel, did I order too much?"

Taking a sip of the lemonade, Rachel answered, "Yes, I think you did."

"Really? Do you want me to cancel some?" Seeing that Rachel had thought she had overdone, Celia slowly turned around and got ready to call the waiter. However, her voice was way too low for him to hear.

Rachel said, "Speak louder. What happened to your voice?"

Celia bit her lips and asked with grievance, "Rachel, do you really want me to cancel some dishes. I am sure the waiter will laugh at us."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I'm just worried about my wallet."

Rachel was determined to maintain a poker face. But seeing the anxiety on Celia's face, she burst out laughing. Celia quickly realized Rachel was only joking. Pounding the table, she looked at Rachel and exclaimed, "Rachel, you are joking with me!"

Giving up any pretense of being serious, Rachel continued to laugh. But something froze her smile. Cheerfulness left her body.

Celia waved her hand in front of Rachel and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

When Celia was about to turn her head and look behind, Rachel came back to her senses and said, "I was just wondering if Marcus knows about your appetite. Is he aware he is going to raise a piggy instead of a girlfriend?"

"Rachel!"

Looking at the nervous look on Celia's face, Rachel smiled. But her heart was thudding against her chest.

Just now, she had caught sight of Jack with the girl who had come to her in the fried chicken store. They were getting out of one of the private rooms. Although he seemed indifferent, the girl clung to

him. Holding his arm, she was whispering something into his ear. Her excitement was evident to Rachel.

'Why are the two of them here?' she wondered.

At this moment, the waiter brought them the dishes they ordered. Celia said excitedly, "Rachel, where are you lost? Look at the food! So yummy! I'm starving to death."
