Julie didn't say the last sentence, but Jack knew what she wanted to ask. He smiled and shook his
head.
Julie was relieved a lot. In the past few months, she lived under the same roof with Rachel. Although
the two of them were master and maid, they got along well with each other. In addition, Rachel took
good care of her in daily life, so Julie had already taken her as her own daughter.
Now she saw Rachel lying on the bed. The pure white quilt and pillow reflected her face, which was
only the size of a palm, paler and without any blood.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Mr. Jack, you stay here with Miss Rachel. I'll go home first and
cook some pork liver for her. It's good for her blood replenishment."
"Okay, go ahead." Jack didn't know much about nutritious food, but he would definitely agree as long
as it was good for Rachel.
Not long after Julie left, Rachel slowly opened her eyes and finally woke up. She called out "Lea". The
next second, she felt someone holding her hands, which was a little different. She slowly turned around
and saw Jack sitting beside the bed. Her expression suddenly changed.
Seeing that he appeared beside her safe and sound, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same
time, a trace of anger gradually rose in her heart. She withdrew her hand, turned around and did not
look at Jack. She asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"I just came back from abroad." Jack's voice choked with sobs.
However, there were too many mixed feelings in Rachel heart, and she didn't notice it. She just coldly
retorted, "It has nothing to do with me where you go. You don't need to tell me."
A touch of bitterness gradually crept into Jack's heart with her words. He looked sad. He opened his
mouth, but finally pressed it down and said slowly, "Rachel, are you still uncomfortable?"
Rachel closed her eyes and didn't answer. A drop of tear slowly fell down from her eyes.
She wanted to ask where Jack had been in the past two days and why he didn't answer the phone, but
she still didn't have the courage to ask. She was afraid that she would hear some answers she didn't
want to hear.
In the past, when she saw on TV that in order to maintain a precarious marriage, the wife chose to be
an ostrich, who always felt a little shameful. She thought that it was better to end such an unhappy
marriage as soon as possible. She was alone, with a good salary, and she could live any way she
wanted. She didn't need to be disturbed by others, and she didn't need to care a husband who didn't
love her at all.
Just think about it, such a small life must be much happier than the life with tears in her eyes now.
But now, a similar situation happened to her, and it seemed that Rachel suddenly understood.
The reason why Rachel felt shamed before was that she hadn't really fallen in love with someone.
Rachel stayed in the hospital for one night. On the second morning, the doctor checked her condition
during the ward round and announced that she could discharge from the hospital.
Although she was a little lack of oxygen at that time, she was sent in time, so it did not have any impact
on her body. And the baby in her belly was also safe and sound.
Jack took her shoes out of the cabinet beside the bed and put them on the edge of the bed. He
reached out to hold Rachel's ankle and wanted to help her put on the shoes, but she shook her legs
and dodged directly.
Lowering her head, Rachel said in a flat voice, "I can wear the shoes myself. I don't need your help.
Otherwise, if I get used to your help, one day in the future, if you suddenly disappear, I would be unable
to walk even a step on the bed."
She said it in a joking tone, but in Jack's ears, there was a trace of bitterness. His eyes darkened, but
he did not say anything. He just stood up and walked to the window indifferently. Nobody knew what he
was thinking about outside.
Looking at his back, Rachel opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
It was undeniable that the words Rachel said just now more or less sounded a little tentative, but Jack
did not respond. Could it be that in the future, he would suddenly disappear for two days like this,
without any message, and then suddenly appear when she was asleep?
It seemed that the two days were not real. It was just a dream.
With a wry smile, Rachel thought to herself, 'Maybe I will become the kind of person I despised before.'
She had to stay in an empty big house, waiting for her husband to come back.
After a moment of silence, Jack turned around and saw that Rachel had put on her shoes and stood
beside the bed to pack up her things. He quickly came over and took her bag directly. He said softly,
"Let me take this."
"No, thanks..." Before Rachel could finish her words, she was held by Jack. He pressed her shoulders
and let her sit on the sofa. Then he said seriously, "If you don't want me to get angry, just sit here."
He looked a little weird, which made Rachel a little stunned. She opened her eyes and looked straight
at him. She bit her lower lip and didn't say anything.
However, she still felt that Jack, who had disappeared for two days and returned, seemed to have
something hidden in his heart.
The car slowly stopped in the yard. As soon as Rachel opened the door and got out of the car, she felt
a burst of fragrance in her nose. She guessed that Julie must be busy preparing something in the
kitchen.
She reached out and rubbed her stomach. Only at this time did she really feel hungry.
When she was in the hospital, Jack wanted to feed her, but she refused directly because of anger.
She lowered her head, looked at her belly and pouted. "Baby, I'm sorry."
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came out of the living room. Not long after, a little figure quickly
ran out, and the voice of Lea also sounded behind. "Rita, slow down. Don't move so fast. If you hit the
little baby in your godmother's belly, you will suffer a lot from me!"
Rita slowed down in an instant and trotted to Rachel. She opened her arms and tightly held Rachel's
legs. Raising its little head, it asked with grievance, "Rachel, would I hit the little baby like this?"
"No." Rachel stretched out her hand and rubbed the hair of Rita. She looked at Lea behind her and
asked slowly, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course we want to welcome you and care about you. By the way, what's going on between you
two?" Of course, Lea asked the last half of sentence in a very low voice.
Rachel turned her head to look at Jack, who was attentively holding something from the trunk, as if it
was very precious, attracting all his attention. If it was in the past, he would have already been here.
The "Slow down" should had been come out of Lea's mouth, but from him.
But just now, he didn't even look at her.
They were still so intimate two days ago. At Anna's wedding, he promised her that he would show her
his true heart... Did it mean that his true heart was valid for such a short time? Was it too short that she
hadn't felt it?
With a bitter smile on her face, Rachel said, "I don't know. There's nothing to ask."
"So are you going to be like this?" Lea raised her eyebrows, as if she was the most nervous person
about this relationship.
Holding Rita's hand, Rachel walked into the living room and said in a low voice, "Well, just be like this
temporarily. We can talk about the rest later when it's time."
Looking at her, Lea snorted, "If you don't want to ask him, I'll ask. Don't you feel uncomfortable if you
two just drag it on like this? If you want it, just end it as soon as possible. If you don't, please back to
the situation that both Henry and I are envious of you!"
Then she turned around quickly and was about to walk towards Jack.
Rachel loosened Rita's hand and grabbed Lea's arm immediately, pretending to be angry. "If you go to
talk to him, we can break up now."
Lea rolled her eyes and glared at Rachel. "You win!"
All of them didn't enjoy the lunch.
Lea wanted to say something, but Rachel didn't want to, which made Lea feel like sitting on pins and
needles. As soon as she put down the chopsticks, she held the hand of Rita and said, "We're going
back."
"Miss Lea, don't you want to stay with Miss Rachel any longer?" Julie asked.
Lea took a glimpse at Rachel. "Forget it. I'd better go back. I'm afraid she would break up with me."
"What do you mean?" Julie asked in confusion.
Only Lea and Rachel knew what it meant.
Glancing at Jack, who was sitting at the table as if he hadn't heard what they had said just now, Rachel
felt a little uncomfortable, but she still reached out her hand and gently patted the head of Rita. "Well,
you can go back first and come back to play next time when you have time."
After the two of them left, Rachel couldn't help but look at Jack again, as if the dishes in front of her
were so delicious, attracting all his attention.
She couldn't help but pull out the chair beside him, slowly sat down, and whispered, "Jack, can we
have a talk?"
