"I can walk myself." The posture was a little intimate, and Rachel wanted to get rid of him
subconsciously.
However, Bill tightened his grip. He looked ahead and said expressionlessly, "I just don't want the baby
to feel uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong."
In this way, Rachel didn't say anything else, but she was not stupid. She could feel the anger of Bill. So
as soon as she got into the car, she frowned slightly and turned to look at him in confusion. "What
happened?"
"Nothing." Bill lowered his head and fastened his seat belt, looking a little annoyed.
Since he didn't want to tell her, Rachel didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and looked
out of the window. When she was about to close her eyes and have a rest, she heard Bill's voice,
"Rachel, do you really want me to leave?"
'Leave?'
Rachel didn't know what to say. When she was about to ask, she changed her words, "Did Mrs. Zhu
say something to you?"
When she thought back, the two people standing at the door looked a little strange.
Bill didn't hide his disappointment and said, "I just want to stay with you and take good care of you and
baby. I don't ask you to give me any response, so don't try to drive me away. You can't drive me away."
Lowering her eyes, Rachel opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
From the moment she knew him, she always felt that she owed him. This kind of feeling pressed on her
heart. But when she saw his gloomy eyes looking at her without blinking, those words that wanted to
refute him, to her lips, could not be spoken one word.
It seemed that the rainy season had come to Ning City. It had been almost a week in a row, but it had
never stopped.
At the gate of a private club, Jack ran out directly without waiting for an umbrella from Austin. He
opened the door and got in, directly opened the Kraft paper bag in his hand, pulled out a few pieces of
paper from it, and read them carefully.
Holding an umbrella, Austin slowly walked over and sat in the car. When he was about to sigh that the
rain was so heavy, he saw the rain on Jack's body. He quickly took a towel and wiped his suit several
times. "Boss, why don't you wait for me? If you catch a cold, you..."
Jack interrupted him. "It's okay. You can drive."
"Then... Okay." Austin was cut off abruptly. At last, he glanced at Jack and had to turn the steering
wheel seriously.
Hearing the clear sound of rain hitting on the window, Jack lowered his long eyelashes slightly, with a
touch of sadness in his eyes. He put down the paper bag, took out his mobile phone from his pocket,
and opened the weather forecast software. It was not Ning City shown on the screen, but the city
where Rachel was.
He smiled bitterly. Fortunately, it was still sunny there.
In the past, sunny or rainy days were just a form of nature for him, but Rachel didn't like rain very
much. Every time she saw rain outside, she would become lazy and stay on the sofa at home, unwilling
to move a step.
Gradually, Jack didn't seem to like rainy days anymore.
The car slowly drove into the underground garage of the MK Group. Looking up at Jack in the rearview
mirror, Austin said slowly, "Boss, do you want to go straight to Mr. Chen and others now?"
Jack came to his senses, temporarily put aside the messy things in his heart, picked up the few pieces
of paper again, carefully put them in, and then said, "No, let them be arrogant for a few more days."
These papers were not ordinary papers, but the share transfer contracts between Jack and several
small shareholders. Of course, these things were very secret, and they had no idea about it.
"Okay," agreed Austin. He got out of the car and opened the back door. The two walked towards the
elevator, one in front of the other, one behind the other. Then they didn't expect that Mr. Chen, whom
they had just mentioned, came to them.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his brain reacted quickly. He bowed his head and greeted,
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Fu, you just came back from work?" Mr. Chen said to Jack with an arrogant tone, and his eyes
being fixed on the Kraft bag in Austin's hand.
With one hand in his pocket, Jack slowly raised the corners of his mouth. His shrewd eyes made Mr.
Chen feel guilty and subconsciously took two steps back.
He patted Mr. Chen on the shoulder and said briefly, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"My pleasure to work for you."
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead
until he turned around and saw the elevator slowly going up. He felt his legs weak because of Jack's
glance just now. He thought, 'Has he discovered our plan?'
Austin walked into the office behind Jack. After making sure that the door was locked, he locked the
paper bag in his hand into the safe. With a lingering fear, he said, "Boss, he has been staring at the
bag in my hand just now. I'm almost scared to death, fearing that he will find out something wrong."
"Boss, do you think he will find out something? I don't think Mr. Chen is a simple person."
Austin continued, but Jack didn't respond. He was staring at the photo Austin took out of the safe by
accident at his feet.
After a while, Austin came to his senses and looked down along his eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He
picked up the photo in a hurry and wanted to turn the back to him, but he was anxious and flustered.
He directly showed the front of the photo to Jack.
These photos that used to be placed in Jack's office were all taken with Rachel.
He turned the seat, trying to hide his true emotions, and said lightly, "Put the things back and go out."
After the door was opened and closed again, the smile on Jack's face suddenly disappeared.
In the monitoring room of the hospital, Rachel was lying on the bed, listening to the strong heartbeat
around her ears. The corners of her lips pursed a beautiful arc.
The doctor put down the instrument in her hand and said loudly, "Are you relieved? The baby was
playing hide and seek with us just now."
It was the first time that Rachel came to the hospital to listen the fetal heart rate of the baby. However,
the device had walked back and forth in her belly for several circles, but there was still no heartbeat of
the baby. Although as a doctor, she knew that it was a normal situation, she could not help but feel a
little worried, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
It was at this moment that she realized how important this child was to her.
Walking out of the monitoring room, she looked down at the list in her hand from time to time. The
gentle smile in her eyes became more and more intense. She touched her belly and said in a soft
voice, as if she was whispering between the two of them, "Baby, welcome to this world."
"I also welcome your coming." Suddenly, there was a voice from behind, which startled her. She felt a
little embarrassed at the thought that she had been heard clearly what she had said just now.
Bill didn't seem to notice it. He took the test report from her hand and saw the heartbeat rate on it. He
widened his eyes and asked, "Why is the heart beating so fast? Have you asked the doctor? Is there
anything wrong with the baby or his heart?"
His face had already turned pale with fear.
Looking at him, Rachel wanted to laugh. Perhaps it was because of his heart problem that he could be
nervous when he saw such a quick heartbeat rate.
Just as she was about to explain, a nurse passing by stopped and said with a smile, "Don't worry. The
baby's heartbeat is normal. Many new fathers will be so worried when they see their baby's heartbeat
for the first time."
The words explained Bill's confusion, but it also made Rachel feel a little embarrassed.
Bill nodded his head heavily and thanked her solemnly. When he turned his head, he saw that the
smile at the corners of Rachel's mouth had disappeared, and her white face was frowning.
"Rachel, what's wrong?"
He reached out his hand and wanted to pat her head, but she moved two steps upward and barely
dodged. She looked down at her toes, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Bill, I'll come
to the hospital myself to have a check-up in the future. You don't have to pick me up or accompany me
specially."
She was fine just now, but now suddenly said something like that.
No matter how kind-hearted he was, Bill's face darkened. He couldn't help but raise his voice. Pointing
at the direction in which the nurse had just left, he said, "Just because she misunderstood me as the
father of the baby, do you mind it so much?"
"Yes, I do." Rachel looked up into his eyes and answered firmly.
These few words were like a sharp needle, piercing through his heart. Like a deflated balloon, he
dropped his shoulders weakly and said, "Other people's misunderstandings can't affect the fact.
Rachel, I don't ask for anything. I just want to stay with you."
"But I don't need it"
Rachel turned around, closed her eyes and said in a low voice. She didn't need others to take care of
her. Besides, she couldn't repay him for what he had done for her unconditionally. It would only make
Rachel feel sorry for him!
After a moment of silence, Bill walked up to her, grabbed her shoulders and asked, "What do you
need?"
Before she could answer, he continued, "If you don't want me to be with you, you can go back to Jack
and let me know that someone takes care of you like me. I will leave and let you go!"
