Chapter 423 Had A Nightmare
Henry asked, "Aunt, what's bothering you?" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"I don't know what's wrong with Jack recently. He's not doing well." Tracy turned to look at Henry, with a worried look on her face. "It's not easy for him to recover now. As a mother, I only hope that he can live a peaceful life in the future. Don't make such a big trouble again."
Henry didn't know why Tracy suddenly said such sad words to him, so he just replied "Yes" and waited for her to continue.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Tracy continued, "You should know what happened between our family and Shen family, right? Even if they are together, there is a time bomb between them. Maybe it will explode one day. "
Tracy had meant to say that, but as soon as she started, her emotions were affected, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She choked, "Now that they are separated, it doesn't matter. Scarlett is with Jack now."
The implication was that the relationship between [傅靳南] and Shen Ruan could be over.
[秦怀吾] frowned and didn't say anything. They just arrived at the old house of the Fu clan. After saying goodbye to Li miner, she got off the car.
This time the fever was a little inexplicable. Rachel only felt a dull pain in her temples, and her eyelids were particularly heavy.
Rachel wiped her body with cotton dipped in some alcohol, but it didn't relieve her at all. Then Lea threw the cotton into the trash can and came back with a trace of worry in her eyes. "Are you really okay, Rachel? Let's go to the hospital?"
"No need." Rachel lay down again and pulled the quilt, "I'll be fine after a nap."
After closing her eyes for a while, Rachel fell asleep. Vaguely, she felt her body floating in the air. After a while, she landed safely in a small apartment. The simple decoration and furnishings seemed to be a little familiar.
Walking around the house, Rachel vaguely remembered that it was the wedding room of her and Jack.
She went upstairs and gently pushed open the bedroom door. A woman was sitting in front of the pure white dressing table and wiping her hair with a towel. Not long after, the door of the bathroom opened, and a burst of hot air came over. Jack came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. His eyes were full of smile. "Silly girl, why don't you dry your hair?"
"The hair dryer is too heavy. I don't want to use it."
The voice was not hers.
Frowning, Rachel slowly walked up to the dresser and glanced at it. Her heart skipped a beat. It was Scarlett sitting here.
At this time, Scarlett turned around and stuck out her tongue at Jack, acting like a spoiled child, "Can you help me?"
"Okay."
Jack's face was full of affection. He turned back and came out again with a hair dryer in his hand. He stood behind Scarlett and gently helped her dry her hair.
The dim yellow light from the ceiling was cast on the two people. At this moment, the scene was so warm and beautiful, but Rachel could not help but feel a little moist in her eyes.
All of a sudden, she rushed over like a crazy woman, grabbed Jack's arm and asked hysterically, "Why are you with her?"
But Jack didn't respond. She reached out to grab Scarlett's hair, gritted her teeth and stared at her angrily. "Is it good to be a mistress? There are so many men in the world. Why do you come to compete with me?"
Lea, who had been sitting by the bed and watching her, couldn't help frowning. At first, Rachel was lying quietly in the bed, but now she raised her hands and waved them in the air. Her face even became a little ferocious. 'Is she having a nightmare?'
After thinking for a while, Lea raised her hand and patted on Rachel's shoulder. She said gently, "Rachel?"
After calling her three times in a row, she slowly opened her eyes and asked blankly. "What's wrong?"
"Did you have a nightmare just now?"
With her hands on her side, Rachel slowly sat up. Hearing this, she gradually remembered. She couldn't help closing her eyes and couldn't figure out why she suddenly had such a dream.
In reality, even if she really saw that scene, she would take a faint look at it, turn around and leave. She would never question her like a dissatisfied woman.
Looking at the inquisitive look in Lea's eyes, Rachel smiled awkwardly, "It was a nightmare."
She reached out to feel the temperature on her forehead. "The temperature seems to have been down."
But Lea didn't believe it. She took out a thermometer from the drawer of the bedside table and put it in her ear to measure it. It was not until she saw the value on it that she breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's normal. Otherwise, I won't let you stay at home. I'll take you to the hospital."
"Have you forgotten that I am a doctor myself?" With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel glanced at the clock on the bedside table and reminded her, "Lea, are you going to pick up Rita?"
Suddenly, Lea stood up and patted her forehead. "Look at me. I forgot it."
Then she ran to the door in a hurry. Seeing her like this, Rachel reminded her, "Call the teacher first. Don't worry. It's not too late."
Rachel didn't expect that she had slept for more than three hours. Because of the fever, she hadn't eaten anything for a day. Now she felt a little hungry, so she put on her clothes and was about to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. When her hand touched the doorknob, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Jack!
When she was about to hang up the phone, the divorce agreement popped into her mind. Rachel thought for a while and finally answered it.
Jack said, "Come to the hospital now."
"I'm not available now." Rachel replied coldly.
He sneered, "Have you forgotten your signature?"
Taking a deep breath, Rachel forced herself to agree. It was no big deal.
Julie thought that Lea would stay here with Rachel, so she left a note on the fridge door and went to the supermarket.
Taking a look at the dining table and the fridge, there was nothing to eat, so Rachel washed some vegetables, took an egg and cooked herself a bowl of noodles.
After all, she was not alone now. She could starve, but there was no reason for her baby to follow her.
However, as soon as the noodles were out of the pot, the phone on the table vibrated for two more times. Jack sent a message, "Half an hour has passed, but you haven't arrived yet?"
Glancing at the message, Rachel didn't reply and put it aside.
After a while, his phone rang again. He said directly, "I'll give you twenty minutes. If you haven't arrived yet, you can think about the consequences."
Rachel couldn't help but frown. It would take nearly twenty minutes to drive to the hospital even if the traffic light was green all the way.
However, she hadn't touched the noodles yet. After thinking for a while, Rachel put down her chopsticks and rushed to the hospital.
However, she was so unlucky that there were red lights all the way, which gave her nearly twenty minutes. By the time she arrived at the ward, nearly forty minutes had passed.
Sitting on the chair by the window, Jack said with a dark face, "It took you so long to come to the hospital from home?"
"I'm stuck in a traffic jam," said Rachel expressionlessly.
Jack frowned and pointed at the thermos bottle on the tea table, "Drink it."
Rachel walked over, opened it and found that it was insect grass, spareribs and potion. Tracy must have cooked it for him. She put it down and shook her head, "I don't want to drink it."
"You don't want to listen to me?" Jack raised his eyebrows, and the phone circled in his palm. His threat was obvious.
However, Rachel didn't dare to say anything. She could only glare at him angrily. At last, she could only take a spoon and drink a few mouthfuls.
Seeing her spoon by spoon, Jack fixed his eyes on her face and was reluctant to leave.
He had thought to ignore her directly and even wanted to take revenge on her in the way she treated him. But when he recalled that he had seen her in the restaurant two days ago that Rachel seemed to be thinner than before his car accident. Her face, which was only as big as a palm, had lost a whole circle. A pang of heartache crawled into his heart.
Tracy brought him soup every day, most of which was bone soup. She wanted him to recover as soon as possible, but yesterday he suddenly asked her to change a kind of soup.
Tracy thought he was tired of it at first, so she asked with a smile, "How about I cook you corn ribs soup tomorrow? It's not that greasy."
He shook his head and denied, "No. Ask the aunt to cook me some soup with insect grass and fish gel."
"Didn't you like the smell of the fish gel before?" Tracy asked in confusion.
He just smiled and didn't answer, because he didn't drink the soup himself, but prepared it for Rachel.
And he also knew that if he called her directly and asked her to come over, she would refuse. That was why he came up with this idea today.
The thermos bottle in her hand looked small, but its capacity was not. Rachel felt a little hungry at first, but after drinking a few spoonful of it, she felt full and gave a loud burp.
She put down the spoon and looked up at Jack, "Do you ask me to come here just to let me drink soup?"
Jack shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I can't pour it, so I have to ask you drink it."
"So you asked me to come here just to be your trash can?" Rachel laughed.
Jack looked down at his phone and didn't answer. Rachel wiped her mouth and stood up. Her voice was so calm that no one could see any emotion. "I hope you won't do such boring things again."
"I don't feel bored."
