Rachel had no appetite in the first place, but now when she saw this scene and smelled the food, she
felt her stomach was churning, and she couldn't eat at all.
Celia enjoyed her food so much. She picked up an arctic scallop and dipped it in mustard sauce and
put it into her mouth. Squinting her eyes, she felt satisfied.
She looked at Rachel sitting there still and asked, "Rachel, why don't you eat? Why are you just looking
at me?"
"Do you feel embarrassed?" Rachel teased her while picking up the chopsticks and put something into
her mouth. Before she swallowed it, she felt sick and quickly put down the chopsticks and rushed into
the bathroom.
"Rachel, are you okay?"
Shocked, Celia grabbed several tissues from the table and caught up with her.
With her hands on the edge of the toilet, Rachel had calmed down and hadn't vomited like this for a
long time. Now she suddenly vomited like this, only feeling uncomfortable all over her body.
Celia stood behind her and gently patted her back. Seeing that she was a little better, she hurriedly
handed her a tissue. When she saw the pale face of Rachel, she was even more shocked. "Rachel,
shall we go to the hospital? You are in the middle stage of pregnancy, aren't you? Are you feeling
uncomfortable?"
Seeing that she said so much in a hurry, Rachel wanted to tell her that she was fine, but she really
didn't have the strength to speak.
She put her hand on hers and slowly stood up. With a weak smile, she said, "I'm fine. Maybe I'm a little
tired because I went to the hospital for the prenatal checkup today."
"Then let me drive you home." Holding her out of the bathroom, Celia felt very regretful.
Rachel nodded, but after thinking for a while, she said slowly, "Go to your apartment and have a rest.
It's close from here."
She didn't want to see Jack now.
On the other side, Jack had just driven back. Sitting in the car, he saw that the living room was dark. He
frowned and looked at the time. It was only 6 p.m. now.
When he entered the room, he saw only a faint light in the kitchen. Julie was making dumplings there.
Jack asked in a low voice, "Where is Rachel?"
"Mr. Jack, you are back." Julie hurriedly put down the dumpling in her hand, turned around and said,
"Miss Rachel received a call from her friend before dinner and went out, and she hasn't come back
yet."
Jack's face suddenly darkened, "Which friend?"
"I don't know." Julie didn't dare to say anything more. She turned around and went on making
dumplings.
Frowning, Jack took out his phone and called Rachel, but no one answered after a long time.
At this time, Rachel rested on the bed for a while and felt a little comfortable. Her mobile phone under
the pillow buzzed and vibrated a few times. Before she could see who was calling, the screen of her
mobile phone suddenly turned black and directly ran out of power.
Rachel shouted at the living room, "Celia, do you have a charger? My phone is out of power."
"Yes. Wait a minute. I'll bring it to you." Celia put the melon seeds back and looked for it in her bag. At
last, she directly poured out all the things in her bag, but she still didn't see the charger.
She patted her head and said shyly, "Rachel, I left the charger in the hospital. Wait a minute. I'll get it
back now."
"Never mind." Rachel lifted the quilt and got out of bed, shaking it gently. "I'm going back now."
Jack had called more than twenty times, but the last few were all powered off.
He walked back and forth in the living room. After thinking for a while, he called Lea. "Where are you
now?"
"Why do you ask where my wife is?" Unexpectedly, Henry answered the phone.
Jack pinched between his eyebrows and said, "Rachel went out and hasn't come back yet. Her phone
was turned off. I thought she was with Lea."
"No, we went to the children's park with Rita today. We just arrived home." Henry asked, "Lea is
washing Rita. I'll ask her later."
"No need, thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Jack took a deep breath irritably. Since he didn't go to look for Lea, he
really couldn't think of whom else could she go to find. He thought it was not a good idea to wait like
this. He picked up the car key and was about to drive outside to look for her, when the sound of a car
came from the door.
A taxi stopped at the door. Rachel got off and was about to walk into the house with her head down,
and was stopped by Jack
His cold voice came from above, "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Rachel glanced at him coldly. Now as long as she saw him, she would think of the girl who looked like
her unconsciously, and her stomach ached!
She walked past him expressionlessly and continued to walk into the room.
Jack grabbed her arm, gritted his teeth and asked, "Rachel, I'm asking you. Can't you give me an
answer?"
Rachel tried to get rid of him, but he held her too tightly. She looked at him coldly and said, "let me go!"
At that moment, Jack's face darkened. Seeing that he didn't let go of her and didn't say anything,
Rachel stood at the door in a stalemate.
When Julie came out of the kitchen and saw this scene, she wanted to go forward and persuade them.
But after all, she was just a maid in this house. She sighed slightly and went back to her room.
Jack felt a little helpless. Looking at her indifferent expression, he cleared his throat and said, "Rachel,
have a seat. Let's have a talk."
"I have nothing to talk to you."
This time, she got rid of his hand with a little strength and walked to the two floor. When she just walked
up a few steps, she suddenly heard a crackling sound of something falling and breaking.
Without looking back, she knew that the pair of decorations at the door must have been smashed to the
ground by him.
Looking at her back, Jack paused for a while and then left without looking back. At last, he punched the
wall with his fist. He squinted slightly, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
On the second morning, Julie prepared breakfast and was about to go upstairs to call Rachel. Seeing
that she had come downstairs with her bag, she couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you going out today?"
"Yes, I have to go to work."
Last night, she called Victor and explained her purpose. He immediately arranged an administration
position for her in the hospital.
She had thought that it was better to find a leisurely job to kill time than to think nonsense at home.
Julie took her bag and put it aside. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Have you told Mr. Jack that
you are going to work?"
"No." Walking to the dining room, Rachel said in a low voice, "If he asks, you can tell him."
She didn't notice that Jack was going downstairs, with veins standing out on his hands.
The relationship between the two was so bad that she even didn't want to tell him that she was going to
work.
Jack narrowed his eyes, with only bottomless darkness in them. Then he turned around and went
upstairs, went back to his room, picked up his mobile phone and edited a message.
Even when Scarlett was sleeping, she held her phone tightly. As soon as she felt the vibration, she sat
up in shock. When she saw the content of the message, she suddenly jumped up and screamed.
Her mother was about to wake her up, but when she heard the noise, she hurriedly opened the door
and came in. "What happened? Why are you jumping up and down on the bed early in the morning?"
"Mom!" Scarlett jumped off the bed, ran to her barefoot, put her arm around her mother's shoulder,
jumping.
"You stop it!"
Mrs. Chen struggled to get rid of her grip. She rubbed her temples with her hands and frowned
helplessly. "Silly girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I might find a rich husband soon!" Scarlett tilted her head with excitement in her enchanting
eyes.
Five years ago, her father's business failed, and her originally rich family now owed tens of millions of
dollars to others. She had always regarded catching a rich man as a life motto, so she often attended
various banquets and dinner with her cousin in order to find a rich husband!
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows, grabbed Scarlett's hand and said excitedly, "What does
he do? How many assets and companies does he have?"
"Mom, you'll know someday."
In the hospital, as soon as Rachel stepped into the executive department, Victor came in. He laughed
brightly, "Rachel, how many months are you pregnant?"
"Almost four months." Rachel stood up immediately, poured a glass of water and handed it to him. She
smiled awkwardly, "Victor, I'm sorry to bother you again."
She resigned without saying a word last time, and this time she called him to help her arrange the
work. Rachel felt really sorry for him.
Victor said in a deep voice, "There is no need to apologize. Your parents passed away a long time ago,
and we have watched you grow up, just like our daughter. As a father, how can't I help you when you
need me?"
Listening to his words quietly, Rachel realized that Victor was trying to persuade her.
She lowered her long eyelashes slightly, calmed down and said, "Victor, I will remember all the good
things you have done to me. But I entered a dead end and it seems that I can't get out temporarily."
Because the Fu family was so kind to her, she didn't want to ask for any explanation or compensation
from them. She just didn't want to see them.
As soon as she saw them, she couldn't help thinking of what her aunt had said. At that moment, her
heart seemed to be fried on the frying pan, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Victor asked Rachel to sit down and sighed, "As an onlooker, I should say something more. At that
time, Jonathan was indeed too anxious, but he did not expect such a thing to happen all of a sudden. I
believe that he would not let your parents return the money in such a hurry. It's been so many years. To
put it bluntly, he has tried his best to make up for you. No matter how much hatred you have, I think you
can forgive him if you can."
