Chapter 429 The News About Jack
Scarlett was worried about Jack's sudden discharge from the hospital. She didn't know what reason she should use to stay with him again. She thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any way. She didn't expect to receive his call at this time and asked her to go there.
Without thinking too much, Scarlett immediately changed her clothes and drove to the club. She saw that Jack was standing at the door, lowering his head and smoking, with the cigarette butt in his hand flickering in the dark night.
She couldn't hide her excitement and trotted forward, "Jack, I'm here."
Jack threw the cigarette on the ground and pulled her into his arms. He sneered, "Let's go home!" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Scarlett looked up at him and felt happy all of a sudden. She asked, "Where? Which home?"
Jack hooked her chin and smiled wickedly, "What do you think?"
A blush of shyness climbed on Scarlett's face. She carefully helped Jack into the car, and then drove to her own home. She was glad that her mother was not at home tonight.
The next morning, Scarlett was awakened by the alarm clock she had set before. There was no shyness on her face, but only resentment and injustice.
Last night, she thought with all her heart that Jack was willing to go home with her, he must have regarded her as his woman. However, when they entered the house, he sat on the sofa alone, only ordered her to bring him a blanket and said nothing else to her.
Scarlett went to the wardrobe nearby, took out a lace dress she had bought before and put it on. Then she slowly walked to him with a blanket, trying to attract his attention, but Jack didn't even look at her. He pulled the quilt and closed his eyes. After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down and he was asleep.
Scarlett didn't know why Jack did this, but she was very reluctant. When she got out of bed and was about to go to the living room to see if Jack was still lying on the sofa, she saw a bank card and a key on the TV cabinet of the bedroom, and a piece of paper underneath, which said, "Move into this house today."
Below was the address of the house, which was a newly opened building in the Ning City.
Scarlett was overjoyed. She ran to the living room and found that Jack had already disappeared. But to her, she was already satisfied. The grievance and anger in her heart had already been forgotten and gone.
That night, Rachel didn't sleep well and woke up early. She didn't want to be listless at work today. She closed her eyes and slept until the alarm clock rang. After washing up, she slowly walked down with the handrail in her hand.
Usually, Julie had already prepared breakfast at this time. But today, when she saw Rachel come downstairs, she hurriedly folded something and put it into the cabinet.
Seeing her like this, Rachel frowned and asked, "Julie, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Julie smiled awkwardly and slapped herself on the forehead. "Miss Rachel, I'm sorry. I forgot to prepare breakfast for you this morning. Is it still too late for me to prepare it now?"
"No, thanks."
Rachel smiled. "I can go to the hospital canteen."
After watching her leave, Julie took out the newspaper from the cupboard and opened it. It was a photo of Jack and a strange woman. Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew that this photo couldn't be seen by Rachel now.
What if she got emotional and her baby had problems?
When Rachel arrived at the hospital, she saw Celia sitting in her office. She felt strange and asked, "Aren't you very busy? Why do you come here today?"
Celia was transferred to the Department of Neurosurgery of North Hospital and promoted to the head nurse. Rachel often received WeChat messages from her, complaining that she was too busy with her work.
"Today my big helper is there. I can hide and have some spare time." Celia smiled and fixed her eyes on Rachel.
"That's good." After locking her bag in the closet, Rachel only took out a meal card and shook it. "I'm going to have breakfast now. Do you have time to go with me?"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Celia ran up to her, held her arm and asked, "Rachel, are you in a good mood today?"
"Yes." Replied Rachel.
Then she asked, "Did you read anything wrong this morning?"
Hearing her tentative tone, Rachel frowned and asked, "Should I see something?"
Celia shook her hand and denied, "No, of course not. I just asked casually."
Rachel felt strange, but she didn't say anything. She just walked to the canteen, not insisting on getting to the bottom of the matter.
It was the peak time for breakfast in the canteen. Almost every window was lined up. Rachel stood behind the line and saw a woman patting the shoulder of the doctor in front of her and asking curiously,
"Have you seen the newspaper in the morning?"
"Not yet. I'm late today. Instead of going to my office first, I come to the canteen directly. " The doctor turned around and asked curiously, "Is there any news? Tell me."
"It's about..."
Celia, who had been standing quietly beside them, suddenly screamed. Both Rachel and the two people who were about to tell the news were startled.
Celia covered her belly and said painfully, "My...my belly hurts. It really hurts."
"Where? Sit down next to me. I'll check it for you." Rachel found a seat and held Celia to sit down, was about to press her belly for inspection.
Looking around, Celia said in a low voice, "Rachel, let's go back to your office. There are so many people in the canteen. I feel a little embarrassed."
"But..." Rachel frowned.
Celia said immediately, "I feel much better. It's not as painful as before. Let's go back to your office first."
Nodding her head, Rachel had no choice but to go back to the office with Celia.
At first, Celia walked very slowly. Later, she simply straightened up and jumped up. Rachel stopped and glanced at her. "Celia, did you pretend to have a stomachache just now?"
"No."
Celia smiled guiltily, "It really hurt just now, but it suddenly healed."
"Since you're fine, you can go back by yourself. I'll go to the canteen to buy breakfast."
With that, Rachel turned around and walked towards the elevator again. At the same time, Celia ran to her and took the meal card from her hand. "Rachel, go back to your office. I'll buy breakfast for you."
The more Rachel thought about it, the more confused she was. She shook her head and said, "No, thanks, I can do it myself."
With her hands behind her back, Celia grinned and said, "Rachel, your belly is so big. You must be tired after walking. I can help you. You can go back to your office and have a rest first."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door just opened. Celia hurried in and was about to press the close button, Rachel stretched out to block the elevator door and said coldly, "Come out."
Rachel felt that there was something strange with Celia. Rachel had intended to ask, but seeing that Celia did not want to say, she didn't ask more.
But now, Rachel was getting more and more confused, and she guessed that this matter must have something to do with herself!
Seeing that Celia didn't move, Rachel frowned and said in a more serious tone, "If you don't come out, don't come to me again! Besides, they just talked about some news. I can browse it on the Internet by myself later!"
After all, as soon as the news was mentioned by two people, Celia began to pretend to have a stomachache.
After thinking it carefully, if Rachel didn't mishear, she seemed to hear the word "Jack" from the person in front of her. It was very likely that today's news was related to him, which probably was the reason why Celia was so abnormal today.
All of a sudden, Celia lowered her head and didn't dare to look Rachel. Then, Celia raised her head again with a look of frustration on the face. "Rachel, is it so obvious?"
"Well, it can't be more obvious."
Seeing her coming out of the elevator, Rachel put down her hand, turned around and walked towards her office. She asked in a low voice, "Have you take away the newspaper in my office today?"
Every morning, the newspaper would be sent to her office. Sometimes it would be thrown directly on the ground, and sometimes it would be placed on her desk.
However, Rachel didn't see it this day. She had thought the person who sent the newspaper forgot, but now she thought it might be done by Celia.
She reached out her hand to Celia. Sure enough, Celia put her hand into her pocket and took out a newspaper that had been folded. "Rachel, it's very likely that the news is nonsense. You know that these paparazzi like to write some crazy things."
Rachel opened the newspaper and looked down. It was indeed related to Jack.
When she read the news about him and the young model before, Rachel felt a little sad and couldn't accept it. But now, she smiled calmly, put the newspaper on the table and said in a flat voice, "This is his business. He can be with whoever he wants to be with. It has nothing to do with me."
"How could it be possible?" Clenching her fists, Celia said with resentment, "He is the father of your baby. Is it reasonable for him to hook up with other women outside now?"
After standing for a long time, Rachel only felt a faint pain in her right rib. She walked to a chair and sat down. She looked up at Celia and asked in a low voice, "Then I should go to find that woman and fight with her, cursing that she stole my husband, my child's father?"
"No, no!"
Celia denied immediately.
