My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 128

Rachel pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

Jack really had work to do, so after finishing the noodles and taking the medicine, he took his laptop and went back to the study.

Since she was left alone, Rachel felt bored because she had nothing to do.

She decided to take a walk around.

Then she finally believed what Jack had said—"I usually stay in the company most of the time.

All of a sudden, Rachel felt that she was able to know a different Jack.

In her memory, Jack had always been leisurely. But now, she saw so many documents piled up in the study that he wanted to finish as soon as possible. Moreover, he was also very careful in asking her questions about what really happened today.

For Jack, he couldn't accept that his wife had been bullied. It was very obvious that someone was plotting against Rachel.

No one reported the case to the police. Then they just showed up in the hospital to accuse her of murder despite having no evidence in their hands.

He was so eager to find out who was that person capable of playing such trick to his wife.

When Jack finished his work, he came out of the study to check on Rachel. But he was surprised to see her sleeping soundly, with head askew on the sofa.

Her slim body curled up on the big dark grey sofa. Half of her face was covered by her long hair. From where Jack was standing, only the tip of her nose and her red lips were visible indistinctly.

He walked closer to her. He wanted to wake her up, but upon seeing that she was really asleep, he couldn't have the heart to do so.

He went to the bedroom and get a blanket. He then crouched and covered her with it.

Rachel was awakened by his movements.

She opened her eyes and looked at him sleepily.

The air conditioner was a bit low so Rachel felt cold. She felt comfortable when Jack covered her with a blanket. Then he whispered into her ear, "Go back to sleep if you still feel sleepy. I'll just wake you up later."

Rachel was completely in a daze. She didn't sleep well the other night and everything she had went through today made her feel more exhausted.

That was the reason why she was immediately hit by sleepiness the moment she sat down and relaxed.

Jack's soft voice made her fall asleep again.

He adjusted the air conditioner's temperature and removed the funny fever patch on his forehead.

As he stared at the patch, he couldn't help biting his lower lip and smiled. ■d

He looked at Rachel who was again curled up on the sofa.

He leaned forward and kissed her lips gently. "Good night," he said.

Jack didn't wake her up anymore so Rachel really had a good sleep. She felt a lot better when she woke up the next day.

But staring at the strange ceiling, she wondered where she was.

When she closed her eyes again, she suddenly heard someone breathing heavily beside her. When she turned around, she saw a familiar cold face sleeping soundly.

Now she finally remembered that she was in Jack's apartment. He had probably carried her to the bedroom because she couldn't remember waking up after she fell asleep on the sofa again last night.

She lifted the quilt and got out of the bed quietly. The room was thickly carpeted so she was able to make a few steps without creating a sound.

Before she went out of the room, she first checked Jack's temperature.

When she put her soft palm on his forehead, he turned his head slightly. Maybe he already felt uncomfortable with his position.

Rachel felt relieved after finding out that his temperature went back to normal. She then walked out of the room quietly.

She really admired this man. Despite having a high fever, he still worked overtime. Perhaps he ■d

slept late last night. Fortunately, he didn't have fever anymore today.

It was still early, but Rachel decided to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast.

She hadn't checked the kitchen carefully last night, so she wasn't really sure what to prepare. When she looked around, she was surprised that the kitchen had all the necessary utensils and appliances. There were also some ingredients in the fridge.

However, she noticed that everything in the kitchen, including the pot she used to cook dinner last night, was still new. Apparently, everything was rarely touched.

She couldn't help wondering how Jack had lived here.

Even though all appliances were available, he seemed not to use them at all.

Rachel thought that if she hadn't come here, all these things would have just been thrown away after a few years.

She decided to make some porridge and fried eggs. She also prepared some pickled vegetables that she had seen in the refrigerator.

When she walked out of the kitchen, she smelled the gas fume in the living room. She hadn't realized that the kitchen didn't have an exhaust fan.

So, she went to open all the windows for the smell to come out. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The sea came into sight when she opened the window. The sky was still hazy. When she looked at the horizon, she realized how the earth's surface and the sky had beautifully met.

Then a slight layer of golden light slowly appeared in the sky above the horizon.

This place had the best mansions in the Ninwell City. Obviously, this was a private residential area along the beach.

People could choose whether to buy or rent an apartment here. But this was not a place for ordinary people. Most of the residents here were rich young men. It was very obvious based on the many yachts parked in the dock. Some of those rich men might be swimming or surfing at the sea right now while some were enjoying the calmness of the sea in their yachts.

Rachel was fascinated by the view outside the window. Everything was like an imagination.

She was so engrossed in the view when she suddenly heard Jack's voice behind her. She turned around and asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"

"I heard some noise," Jack answered. He looked around and saw some food on the table. He was surprised that Rachel had already prepared some breakfast.

Rachel felt a little embarrassed. She thought that she woke him up.

"I smelt the aroma of the food you prepared so I was awakened by hunger," Jack added.

Obviously, he was only kidding. Rachel knew that it was impossible for the smell of the food to reach the bedroom. ■d

Nevertheless, she still felt glad of his remark because it meant that Jack was praising her cooking. She accepted his compliment wholeheartedly although she knew that the breakfast she prepared was very simple.

Rachel looked at her cellphone to check the time. It was almost time to go to work so she urged Jack to have breakfast. "Do you have any plans for today? If there's none, do you mind taking me to the hospital?" Rachel asked when they had finished eating.

"Are you going to work today?" Jack asked with a frown. He lowered his head and wiped his slender fingers with a wet tissue.

"It's workday so why not?" she asked back.

He crumpled the wet tissue in his hand and threw it into the trash can at the corner. Then he said, "I think you don't have to go there for the time being until the issue is resolved."

Rachel fell silent for a while and then replied, "I need to go there to get some updates. I must see what is going on now." She also wanted to know what else Sheila would do after she called her yesterday.

She felt sorry for Sheila's loss, but it didn't mean that she could already accept such threats from her.

"Why don't you take a day off today?" Jack still tried to persuade her.

"No need. I don't think there's something serious going on," Rachel refused.

She had already made up her mind so Jack ■d

stopped coaxing her. As a sign of defeat, he smoothed his sleeves and said lightly, "Alright. But don't worry too much. I promise to solve this sooner."

She nodded her head with a smile. Knowing that she had already found someone to rely on brought warmth in her heart.

All her life, Rachel used to face all difficulties alone. She learned to be strong because of it. But now, someone suddenly came and wanted to share her burden. Since she didn't have the habit of depending on anyone, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"Thank you," she said timidly.

Hearing her polite but distant gratitude, Jack felt slightly unhappy. However, he also came to realize that Rachel was really like this so he just let it pass. He promised to himself that she would change her someday.

When Rachel arrived at the hospital, she still worked as usual.

But since a lot of things happened yesterday and both Rachel and Kevin were arrested, James, who rarely showed up, appeared in the hospital all of a sudden.

He was accompanied by a group of people.

Because of that, people thought that the situation was really serious. Perhaps the murder case was really true.

But today, despite all the rumors, Rachel still went back to work. ■d

She didn't expect that she would suddenly become famous. Before, people in the hospital didn't really pay much attention to her. But after she got arrested yesterday, they suddenly became interested in her.

Anyway, the hospital wasn't very big and there were only a few doctors there, so people were able to identify her easily.

James, who was currently overseas, immediately bought a ticket back to Ninwell City after he saw the news last night.

He was so surprised when he knew that Rachel was arrested.

Rachel's father was his good friend. So when Rachel decided to work in his hospital, Jonathan had specially asked James to take good care of her.

In his eyes, Rachel was just like her father. They both didn't like meddling in other people's affairs.

When Rachel started to work in the hospital, she had proven herself. She had shown how clever and good she was at handling things. So after careful consideration, James decided that it wasn't necessary to give her any special treatment.

He just let her do whatever she wanted to do in the hospital.

The reason why he came back in a hurry this time was because he didn't know what exactly had happened.

Executive Fang couldn't explain it clearly either.

James called his son to check what really ■d

happened, but Lucas was also on a business trip that time. He had no idea what happened in the hospital that day as well.

Left with no choice, he decided to buy the earliest ticket to visit the hospital. It was only four o'clock in the morning when he arrived.

According to Executive Fang, James knew that Jack had already took Rachel out of the police station and everything was settled.

Somehow, he was relieved that Rachel didn't need to spend a night in jail. He slept for a few hours in the hotel first before he rushed to the hospital.

The director of the cardiology department also heard that Rachel came to work and came to comfort her.

For Rachel, things weren't that serious so she felt overwhelmed when everyone seemed to take good care of her this time. Maybe they were all thinking that she was scared.

She could also feel that they wanted to say something but they were hesitant.

Since she considered things like this as trivial, she decided to just shrug it off.

Rachel had just simply told them that she knew nothing about what happened yesterday and that the police's investigation had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that she looked so calm, the others decided to leave after giving her some comforting words.
