But after a few words, Jack hung up the phone, and his face suddenly became serious. He reached out
to pat the driver on the back and said anxiously, "Stop the car right now!"
Scarlett had just vaguely heard the word "Miss" on the phone, and a bad premonition arose in her
heart. Before she came to her senses, she heard Jack's cold voice ringing in her ear, "You get off the
car now and take a taxi to there. I have something to deal with."
"What happened?" "Let me go with you," Scarlett continued, unwilling to give up.
"No, thanks." Jack frowned. Seeing that she was sitting there unmoved, he got off the car and walked
to her side. After opening the door, he pulled her out of the car and quickly sat in it.
In a flash, he had disappeared.
Scarlett stood on the roadside alone, wearing a black off the shoulder dress, with her coat and
backpack still in the car. She stood there, only holding the phone tightly in her hand.
The cold wind blew, making her shiver. Her face was pale with anger. She stared at the direction of the
car in resentment, gnashing her teeth in anger!
It must be Rachel. Only her phone call could make Jack leave in such a hurry.
It took her a lot of efforts to get Jack to agree to attend the wedding with her, but now she was
abandoned halfway. Why did Rachel have to destroy all her plans like this?
Strong jealousy bit Scarlett's heart like a snake. She curled up on the ground, just wanting to scream or
grab someone to bite.
Before the car totally stopped, Jack got out of the car and ran in. Sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot
tea in both hands, Rachel heard the footsteps and looked up at the door. She frowned strangely, "Julie,
what's going on?"
Julie lowered her head and said softly, "Miss, I saw you vomit so much just now. I was worried about
you. I called the doctor, but no one answered. I could only call Mr. Jack and ask him to come back."
Frowning tightly, Jack walked up to her, looked at her stubborn expression and asked, "Why did you
vomit all of a sudden?"
Without answering, Rachel just opened the quilt cover in her hand and was about to drink when the cup
was suddenly taken away by Jack. He held her hand tightly and said, "Get up and go to the hospital to
have a check."
"I'm fine. Maybe I drank some milk with an empty stomach and then took a taxi. Then my stomach
suddenly felt a little uncomfortable." Lowering her head, Rachel didn't dare to look at Jack. She was
afraid that she would see concern on his face and couldn't help but want to get close to him.
When people were sick, they were always particularly fragile and wanted to have someone to rely on.
When she was in the bathroom just now, she couldn't help wondering what would happen if Jack was
there?
She deliberately put on a cold expression and withdrew her hand. She stood up and walked to the two
floor. "I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room and have a rest. If you have anything to do, just go
ahead with your business."
He was wearing a suit, and there was another smell of perfume that not belonged to him.
Jack didn't know what was on Rachel's mind at the moment, but when he saw her bloated figure, there
was a wave in his eyes. He wanted to hold her, but when he thought of her expression, he finally
withdrew his hand silently.
He whispered to Julie, "Go to the kitchen and cook some porridge for her. I've just called the doctor,
who will be here in about ten minutes."
"Okay." Julie nodded. After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked up at him and said, "Sir, Miss
Rachel's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's more and more inconvenient for her to move. Don't
you really come back to accompany her and take good care of her?"
Jack looked ahead with a serious look.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Julie stopped talking and turned to the kitchen. She put the washed rice
into the casserole, poured some water, and slowly cooked it.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside again, and a somewhat rough voice came, "Mr.
Jack, I'm sorry. There is a traffic jam on the road, which takes up a little time."
Jack didn't have time to say these polite words now. He said with anxiety, "She is upstairs now. Follow
me to have a look."
Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Rachel let the doctor examine her and answered a few
questions in a low voice.
Standing aside, seeing the doctor unhurriedly packing up the tools in his hands, Jack was so anxious
that his heart rose to his throat. He clenched his fists and asked, "What's wrong with her? Why did she
suddenly vomit? Does she need to go to the hospital?"
The doctor put the stethoscope into his bag and said slowly, "Nothing serious. She just drank milk on
an empty stomach and then took a taxi. Her stomach and intestines can't bear it all of a sudden. It's
okay to eat light food these two days."
"Got it." Hearing the doctor's words, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Julie to send the doctor
downstairs, and then he moved a chair and sat quietly on the side, looking at Rachel without blinking.
The pregnant women on TV were like blown balloons after pregnancy, and their whole body became
round. But Rachel was different. Only the protruding belly could tell that she was pregnant. Looking at
her limbs and face carefully, he felt that she was a little thinner than before.
A touch of pity flashed through his eyes, but not long after, he heard the cold voice of Rachel, and his
eyes became clear again.
She whispered, "I'm fine. You can leave now."
Jack was speechless.
Rachel couldn't wait to see him leave, which made Jack feel bad. He opened his mouth and wanted to
say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth helplessly.
At this time, the buzzing sound of the mobile phone seemed a little abrupt in this quiet room. Jack
looked at the phone number on the screen and directly hung it up without any hesitation, but the other
party did not stop. It seemed that he would definitely keep calling Jack until he answered the phone.
With a frown, Rachel turned over and turned her back to him. She said lightly, "Please go out and
answer the phone. The vibration is so loud that I feel uncomfortable."
Jack turned off his phone.
Hearing the mechanical female voice from the phone, "The number you dialed is powered off. Please
redial later", Scarlett was so angry. Her face turned red with anger. She bit her lower lip and was
unwilling to give up.
During this period of time, she had been staying by his side and taking care of him. It was her who took
care of him. Why did Rachel ask Jack to come to her side just by a phone call and he left herself in
such a place?
A burst of grievance came to Scarlett's heart. She wanted to throw the phone out, but she was still
reluctant to do so.
As soon as Kailey received the phone call from her cousin, she hailed a taxi and rushed over. Seeing
her squatting alone on the street, she walked up to her in a hurry and asked, "Cousin, are you
dumped?"
If Scarlett lost Jack, she would lose her own source of money in the future.
Hearing this, Scarlett raised her head and glared at her. She said crossly, "Can you say something nice
to me?"
"Sorry, I said something wrong." Kailey immediately clapped her mouth for two times, then frowned and
asked, "If you don't break up, why did you squat on the roadside alone? Didn't you say that you were
going to attend some classmate's wedding tonight?"
"Something happened all of a sudden."
Scarlett had always been a proud person, especially in front of her cousin. She would never say that
she was driven out of the car. She just said, "I just dropped my wallet. Have you brought the money
with you?"
"Yes." Kailey quickly took out all the cash from her wallet and handed it over. However, Scarlett only
took two of them and pushed her hand back.
She held the trunk beside her, stood up and waved her hand hard at the taxi coming towards her. "You
can go back first. I'm going to attend the wedding now."
But Scarlett didn't go to the so-called wedding, but asked the taxi driver to send her to the outside of a
villa. Through an iron gate, she clearly saw Jack's car parking inside.
In the bedroom, Jack listened to the sound of breath on the bed gradually become stable. He knew that
Rachel had fallen asleep, but her sleeping posture seemed not very comfortable, and the eyebrows on
her forehead were still tightly wrinkled.
[张妈] happened to come into the room with the porridge she had just cooked. Subconsciously, she
walked lightly, poked her head on the bed and asked in a low voice, "Miss, did you fall asleep just
now?"
"Yes." Only at this moment could Jack look at Rachel unscrupulously.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked her forehead, trying to smooth the wrinkles on her
forehead. However, as soon as his fingertips touched her face, she blinked slightly for two times, as if
she was about to wake up. He was frightened and quickly retracted his hand.
Julie put the tray on the bedside table and said softly, "Miss Rachel didn't sleep well these days. She
often woke up at about three o'clock in the evening and walked back and forth in the room."
"What happened?" Jack looked back at Julie.
Julie pointed at Rachel's swollen belly and said, "This is what happens in the later stage of pregnancy.
The belly is big and it's not comfortable for her to sleep."
Staring at Rachel, Jack frowned and said nothing. His black eyes were full of pity and reluctance.
Julie didn't want to stay here to disturb them, so she picked up the tray again and said, "I'll put the
porridge back to the hot place and give it to Miss Rachel when she wakes up."
Rachel didn't realize that the two of them had talked so much, but she just felt a little dazed. In her
sleep, she seemed to gently float in the air, constantly floating in the air. She was so tired that she
wanted to get down and find a place to lie steadily, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
