My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 418 A Series Of Misunderstandings

As soon as Lea heard Julie's answer, she went to the kitchen again. However, no one was there except for the casserole of cold bone soup.

Lea frowned. She thought of calling Rachel, but she caught sight of Rachel's phone on the table.

Julie said in a slightly trembling voice, "Miss Shen must have gone to the hospital alone. How about we follow her there now?"

Lea nodded and walked out of the kitchen. But before they could go out, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Rachel entered with a thermos bottle in her hand. Lea quickly walked up to her and asked, "Where have you been?"

"I just went to the hospital. Don't worry. I'm fine, " Rachel replied while handing the thermos bottle to Julie.

When Julie took the thermos bottle, she noticed that it was still heavy. She opened it and found that it was full of bone soup. She confusedly asked, "Miss?"

"Just pour it down the drain. No one will eat it."

Seeing the look on Lea's face, Rachel forced herself to smile and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I want to have a rest." She then walked to her bedroom and locked the door.

Lea and Julie exchanged glances before they looked at the thermos bottle in confusion.

Jack woke up and felt sore all over his body. As soon as he opened his eyes, he thought that he saw Rachel, so he asked, "Rachel, what's wrong with me?"

He had not completely regained his consciousness yet.

Scarlett's face darkened upon hearing that Jack called her Rachel again. But still, she tried to be patient. She smiled and said, "Jack, I'm Scarlett. You had a car accident, remember?"

Jack frowned as his mind gradually became clear. He squinted and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"

As soon as he finished asking, Tracy's voice was suddenly heard from the door. "I asked her to come here to take care of you."

Tracy and Jonathan walked into the ward one after the other. Scarlett was delighted to hear what Tracy said, but she tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart. To hide the smile that curved on her lips, she lowered her head and pulled a chair behind Jonathan. She then said politely, "Uncle, please have a seat."

But Jonathan didn't mind her. He cast a cold glance at Jack and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine." Jack subconsciously looked at the door, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Noticing it, Tracy moved forward to block his sight and said with concern, "How could you be fine? Didn't you know that you almost died?"

But upon realizing that the topic might just upset Jack, she sighed and added, "Anyway, let's forget about it. What's important is you are fine now. You should have a good rest for a while."

Jack forced a faint smile.

While he and his parents were talking, Scarlett busied herself attending to them. When she noticed that there were no enough chairs in the ward, she borrowed one from the other ward. She then poured two glasses of water and handed them to Tracy and Jonathan. She was trying to be virtuous in front of them.

Jonathan didn't like her at all, so he still gave her a cold face.

But when he remembered how Tracy had cried in front of him yesterday and even threatened him that she would commit suicide, he finally opened his mouth and said helplessly, "You don't need to tire yourself taking care of all of us."

"It's alright, Uncle." On the other hand, Tracy was very much satisfied with Scarlett's performance, so she held Scarlett's hands appreciatively. She thought that Scarlett was so different from Rachel. Rachel had always been like a wood that just stood by the side without saying anything.

The more she compared the two women, the more she favored Scarlett. "You will have to take care of Jack more in the future, so don't tire yourself too much. Just let the caregiver do these things so you can also have a good rest."

Scarlett lowered her head and smiled shyly. "Auntie, I don't mind getting tired as long as Jack recovers quickly. It's okay for me to work hard for his sake."

Jack butted in indifferently, "I don't need you to take care of me."

He then looked at Jonathan and asked, "Dad, is Rachel here?"

Before Jonathan could answer, Tracy snorted and said angrily, "Don't mention that woman's name in front of me. When you had an accident, we called her and asked her to come over. She didn't show up. Why would you still think of her?"

Sadness flashed through Jack's dark eyes. He closed his eyes and said coldly, "I'm tired."

Lea and Henry, together with Michael and Marcus, arrived at the hospital. They were on their way to Jack's ward when they met Tracy and Jonathan, who were going out. Lea said hello to them and told them that they came to visit Jack. However, Tracy said indifferently, "I'm afraid you can't see Jack as of the moment. He is still very weak and has just fallen asleep. But you can visit him any time after we transfer him to Ninwell City tomorrow."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Since Tracy said so, Lea didn't insist anymore. They just said goodbye and went back to their car.

But while on their way back, Lea couldn't help thinking of Tracy's attitude towards them. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. When she couldn't take it anymore, she patted Henry's arm and muttered, "Why do I have a feeling that Tracy was not happy to see us?"

"Really?" the three men asked in chorus.

Lea frowned. "Yeah. I think her attitude is a bit strange. It seems that she doesn't want us to visit Jack."

Michael, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said, "Perhaps she is still upset because of what happened to Jack. Don't think too much."

The three men seemed to have not noticed, and only Lea felt strange. Now, she couldn't help asking herself if she was really thinking too much.

As soon as they came back to the hotel, Lea immediately went to Rachel's suite.

Seeing her, Rachel looked at her watch and asked confusedly, "Why are you back so soon?"

Lea shrugged. "We were not able to see Jack. We met Tracy and Jonathan at the door of his ward, and Tracy said he was asleep, so we didn't get inside. By the way, Tracy said that they would transfer him to Ninwell City tomorrow."

"Oh..." Rachel just said that single word, then lowered her head.

Lea looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

"I don't see any reason to visit him." But that night, Rachel still went to the hospital while Julie was already asleep.

Although she knew that Scarlett might be in his ward, she still wanted to see him.

Jack had already fallen asleep because of the medicine he took. Even in his sleep, he was still frowning tightly. It seemed that he couldn't relax at all.

Scarlett stood by his bed, staring at him. She couldn't help reaching out her hand to smooth his eyebrows. Suddenly, Jack grabbed her wrist tightly and said in a low voice, "Don't go. Don't leave me."

"Yes, I won't leave you."

Scarlett knew that Jack saw her as Rachel. But despite the feeling of displeasure in her heart, she still agreed.

She bent down and gently leaned against his chest. "As long as you don't drive me away, I will stay with you for the rest of my life."

Rachel was standing outside the door, and she clearly heard what Jack said.

How ridiculous! This morning, she cooked bone soup, especially for him, and brought it here. But when she saw how Jack and Scarlett's fingers interlaced, she lost the courage to enter the ward. And now that she came back, she overheard them talking so heartily.

Feeling dejected, she turned around and left.

The next day, Rachel went back to Ninwell City with Lea and the others. Before they parted, she took Lea to the side. After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I hope you won't tell Jack about my trip to the neighboring city this time. Please tell Henry and the others to keep it a secret, okay?"

With eyes wide open, Lea asked, "Why?"

Rachel pursed her lips and said slowly, "I can't tell you the reason yet. I'll let you know later, okay?"

Although Lea was so curious, she just nodded and made a promise upon seeing how determined and firm Rachel looked, "Don't worry. I will tell them." Rachel smiled faintly. She didn't want to lose her pride and self-esteem. She didn't want people to think that she was desperately chasing after Jack even though he already had a girlfriend.

Lea offered to send her home, but she refused.

She was currently pregnant, but it wasn't giving her any difficulty in going home. After all, Julie was with her.

As soon as they entered the empty house, Rachel couldn't help sighing. When she thought of the scenes that she had witnessed in Jack's ward that morning and night, mixed emotions surged in her heart.

But remembering the baby in her belly, she tried her best to control her feelings and discard those thoughts in her mind.

It had been two days that Julie noticed Rachel's strange behavior. Most of the time, Rachel would sit on the sofa with a book in her hand, but it was too obvious that her mind was wandering away. Seeing the distressed look on Rachel's face, Julie asked hesitantly, "Miss, are you okay?

Rachel smiled and answered, "I'm fine, Julie. I want fish head and bean curd soup tonight, okay?"

"Sure." Julie went back to the kitchen and continued with her work. Rachel looked through the book in her hand again, but her thoughts were no longer there. Jack was transferred to a private hospital in Ninwell City two days after Rachel went back. But the Fu family deliberately kept it a secret, so only a few people knew it.

Since Rachel was still worried about him, she went to the hospital one day after work. But as soon as she reached the parking lot, she saw Tracy and Scarlett getting out of the car together.

She suddenly felt that her visit would be in vain.

Jack was in his ward, lying. After two days of rest, he had already recovered a lot.

However, the wound on his ribs was still fresh, so he couldn't get up nor walk yet.
