Anna's face turned pale. She knew that the remorseful behavior of the Bai Family in the past had
ruined the reputation of the Ji Family. Therefore, Peter Ji did not like her.
"Anna saved my life," Clark replied gently.
Peter Ji snorted, "Why didn't you tell us about your injury? How could you have the heart to leave your
company to your subordinates to manage? If I hadn't come to your company today, I wouldn't have
known that such a big thing had happened to you!"
Pressing his lips, Clark didn't say a word. But Anna felt that she was a little out of breath.
Peter Ji glanced at Clark and said, "Since there is nothing serious with your body, you can leave the
hospital and go home!"
"Grandpa Ji," said Anna timidly, "About what happened back then, it's our fault. I apologize to you on
behalf of my parents..."
Peter Ji stood up and said coldly, "I don't want to interfere in the matter between you and Clark."
Then he left the ward with his men.
Anna was flattered. She didn't expect that Peter would be so generous that he wouldn't care about
what happened back then? What he meant was that he wouldn't oppose as long as Clark agreed to
marry her?
"Clark," Anna asked in surprise, "Did grandpa agree with our marriage?"
"As long as you are happy," Clark replied in a cold voice. He glanced at somewhere else.
Although she tried to be calm, Anna was thrilled on the inside after hearing his words.
"Okay, we'll get engaged after you are discharged from the hospital!" With a gentle smile on her face,
Anna looked like a happy bride who was about to step into the wedding hall.
"You go out first," Clark ordered.
Having got what she wanted, Anna turned around and left wisely.
She knew that Clark would definitely go to explain everything to Rachel and they had to make a clean
break.
After she left, Clark turned to Rachel's ward. Before he reached it, he saw Chester sitting outside the
corridor and idly fiddling with his mobile phone.
So he went over and sat beside Chester.
Turning around to see him, Chester couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Clark, why are you here again? Can't
forget Rachel?"
"I'm going to be engaged," Clark said directly.
"Engaged? Why such a hurry?"
Clark looked at him coldly, saying, "I'll set her free. From now on, she won't owe me anything, and I
won't owe her anything either. The one billion dollars will be used as a return for her saving my life
when she was a child."
As he spoke, Clark took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was the loan receipt written by Rachel.
He ripped it in half and gave it to Chester.
"Now, everything is over!" Then, Clark stood up and was ready to leave.
Seeing him so apathetic, Chester stood up angrily and pointed at him, saying, "Clark! I didn't expect
you to be such an apathetic person! If you want to say goodbye, just tell her yourself. You don't even
have the courage to face her. What a coward you are!"
Clark stopped, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Clark, if you let her go this time, don't blame me for taking advantage of it! Let me tell you, once I get
Rachel, I will protect her well and never let her suffer any harm!" Chester warned Clark fiercely.
"Finished?"
Chester was rendered speechless by Clark's interrogation. He could do nothing but watch him leave.
Chester's eyes turned red and flames of fury were burning in his eyes. At the thought of what Rachel
looked like when she was looking for irises in the stream, cliff and deep valley for Clark, his heart ached
for this kind-hearted girl, a stupid girl.
Holding the two parts of the loan receipt, Chester turned around and walked into the ward.
Rachel just woke up. Looking at his sullen face, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "What
happened, Chester?"
Chester gave the loan receipt which was torn into two pieces to Rachel in silence.
Rachel took it over doubtfully and was shocked to see the familiar handwriting.
"How did you get this loan receipt? Has he been here?" Rachel asked in shock.
Chester nodded and answered, "Yes, he was here. He wanted me to give it to you."
"What did he mean? Why did he tear it in half?" asked Rachel, puzzled.
"He said that the one billion dollars would be taken as the compensation for your saving his life when
he was a child. From now on, you have nothing to owe him and he will let you go." With an emotionless
face, Chester conveyed Clark's words to Rachel.
Stunned, it took Rachel a long time to react.
Was Clark trying to make a clean break with her?
But since that was the case, why did he save her in the desolate mountain?
No way. She had to ask him!
When Rachel was about to get out of bed, Chester stopped her and said, "Rachel, don't go, he is going
to be engaged to his fiancee."
This news was like a hit in the head. Rachel only felt stiff, as if her heart had stopped beating!
Clark was going to get engaged to Anna? It seemed that Anna didn't lie to her.
Clark still loved Anna, and Anna would be his future wife! Otherwise, how could she have the heirloom
of the Ji Family?
Nevertheless, many questions were hovering in Rachel's mind.
"Anyway, I have to ask him face to face!" Rachel said stubbornly. Her bright eyes were covered with a
layer of mist.
Chester shook his head and said, "Rachel, why do you have to do this? Clark won't face you at all.
What can you do with him if you ask him in person?"
"Leave me alone!" With these two pieces of paper in her hand, Rachel stood up, put on her slippers
and ran out.
"Rachel!" Chester was afraid that something would happen to Rachel and quickly chased after her.
Rachel rushed into the elevator and pressed the button of the floor of Clark's ward. When the elevator
was about to close, Chester squeezed in.
"You'd better give up. He never cares about your feeling. Otherwise, why did he want me to tell you
something like this?" said Chester.
Turning her head sideways, Rachel refused to listen to his words.
Chester had to shut up.
The elevator door opened. Rachel quickly walked out and ran to the ward of Clark.
"Clark!" She pushed the door open, but found no one in the ward. The quilt on the bed was folded
neatly.
When Chester came in and saw the disappointment on her face, his heart ached inexplicably.
"He has left the hospital," murmured Rachel.
Chester didn't know how to answer her.
"How could he leave without telling me?" With a wry smile, Rachel shook her head helplessly.
It seemed that she was the person who thought too much.
She thought he at least probably liked her because he saved her at the risk of his own life. But it was
nothing compared to the appearance of Anna.
She thought he would know that she loved him since she risked her life to find the irises to save him,
but it was not enough for him to stay.
Thinking of this, Rachel staggered and started to fall down unconsciously.
Chester quickly held her up, and suppressed his sadness, saying, "Go back!"
Tears started to roll down into Rachel's face.
At this time, two nurses passed by and one of them said, "I heard that Mr. Clark who has just been
discharged from the hospital is going to be engaged to Miss Anna. Miss Anna is so lucky. She has just
taken care of Mr. Clark for a few days and already won him!"
"Yes, it's a pity that the silly girl took care of him day and night before, and she went to find the
medicine for him. However, everything she did was taken by another
person..."
