My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 207

When the elevator doors closed, Jack's face looked a little sullen.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he pursed his lips. His face was cold as ice.

When he stepped out of the apartment building, his anger burst out like a balloon.

He looked back resentfully, trying to convince himself not to get mad at Rachel's attitude.

After all, that was how she really was. She never talked to him sweetly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He sighed quietly. He couldn't help asking himself inwardly,

'Does Rachel really love me?'

But unfortunately, he couldn't find the answer in his heart.

Although she had never been jealous, it didn't necessarily mean that she didn't love him.

After closing the door, Rachel immediately felt sleepy as she began to yawn.

Her body clock was telling her to go to bed

now.

That was also the reason why she refused to go with Jack. She had no energy to go out at this time of the night.

Besides, he went out for business purposes. She thought that it would be meaningless if she got

herself involved in it.

But when she thought of his pitiful eyes earlier, she smiled in amusement. As she lay down on the bed, she couldn't help asking herself,

'Am I not afraid that Jack would hire a bar girl?'

After careful thought, she decided not to mind it. It would be better if she wouldn't know that Jack was cheating on her.

Then she remembered what James had told her.

He said that she was not the same person that he knew.

Was it true that she had changed a lot? She hadn't realized it. She should ask Jack about it sometime.

Eventually, she fell asleep without waiting for Jack to come back.

She didn't know how long had it been since she slept when she suddenly woke up. Subconsciously, she touched the space of the bed beside her.

It was cold and empty. Jack hadn't come back yet. All of a sudden, she didn't feel sleepy anymore.

She sat up and looked at her watch. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning.

After hesitating for a while, she decided to call him. Yet she heard his ringtone outside the bedroom.

Thinking that Jack might have fallen asleep in the living room, she walked out of the bedroom. Darkness met her outside.

But she saw a faint light flashing in a corner. The sound of his ringtone was coming from there.

When she came over to check it, she found out that Jack had left his phone.

Now, how could she contact him? She didn't know where he was and who was with him.

Rachel ended the call and sat on the sofa in a daze.

She got flustered in an instant. She should have made sure that Jack didn't forget anything before he went out.

Where was Jack right now? It was already very late, but he wasn't back yet.

Thinking about Jack being outside at this hour made her feel more anxious.

Rachel wanted to check his call log to see who he had talked with before going out, but his phone was locked, and she didn't know his password.

Since she didn't know what to do anymore, she decided to watch TV to kill time while waiting for him.

But not long after, she had fallen asleep again. When she opened her eyes, she seemed to have seen Jack's figure crouching on the sofa and asking her something.

She then felt that someone carried her and put her down gently in a soft bed.

Rachel was too sleepy, so she thought it was just a dream. She closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.

The next morning when she woke up, she wondered why she was already in bed. The last time she remembered, she was waiting for Jack in the living room. Then she recalled her dream last night. She realized it wasn't just a dream.

She turned her head, but there was no one beside her. She looked at her watch. It was already nine o'clock in the morning, so she decided to get out of bed.

Perplexity was written all over her face. If what happened last night was not a dream, why Jack wasn't beside her?

All of a sudden, she was overwhelmed with different emotions. She hurriedly went out of the bedroom. The whole apartment was so quiet.

"Jack?"

Rachel called Jack's name, but there was no reply. She checked his mobile phone on the sofa, but it wasn't there anymore.

She was in a daze for a while. Racking her brains, she tried to recall everything that happened last night, although she thought it was just a dream.

Last night, she made a coffee to keep herself awake.

But she was afraid that she wouldn't fall asleep the whole night, so she just put it down on the table.

She went to check the table, but the coffee wasn't there anymore. Now she was positive everything that happened last night wasn't a dream.

Rachel went back to the bedroom to get her

phone and tried to call Jack.

It didn't take a long before she heard a very familiar voice at the other end of the line.

"Did you come home last night?"

"You just woke up?"

They spoke simultaneously. But obviously, they had also gotten the answer to their questions.

Since Jack had his phone already, it meant that he had come home last night. Rachel heaved a sigh of relief as she gently massaged her temple.

But she was still wondering why she had fallen asleep. She even thought that everything was just a dream. She was not tired at all, but she had slept like a baby.

What if some burglar broke into the apartment?

As her mind was going far away, Jack spoke again. "I came home before four o'clock. You were sleeping soundly on the sofa, and I couldn't wake you up."

Rachel was a little embarrassed, so she just said, "It does happen to me sometimes."

Jack sneered at her answer. "Even if a thief came in, you wouldn't even know.

Why are you so sleepy recently?"

His words also struck Rachel. Even she was also wondering why. She wasn't working recently, and she was not doing anything at home to make her tired.

But it seemed that she was always extremely sleepy. An idea flashed through her mind, which

made her heart skip a beat.

"Am I?" she asked back embarrassingly.

"Yes, you are." Then he added firmly, "You were sleeping like a log that I couldn't even wake you up!"

Hearing his words, Rachel felt a little guilty.

After hanging up the phone, she sat in the living room for a long time. She checked herself, but there was nothing strange except her extreme sleepiness.

Then suddenly, she started counting her monthly period.

She had been a few days delayed. Could it be that...? Rachel took a deep breath. Something seemed to be not right.

Or maybe she was just thinking too much. Jack had used condoms every time they had sex.

Eventually, Rachel decided to stop overthinking. Since she was about to send the application form back to James today, she called him to confirm that he was in the hospital before she went.

It had been almost two months that she hadn't reported to work. She must have missed a lot of things already.

Since Rachel had not visited the hospital for quite a long time, everyone seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened when they saw her today.

They were surprised that she came, and they greeted her warmly.

No one dared to mention the incident that happened two months ago. Everybody just asked

where she had gone for her vacation.

Rachel answered all their questions, but she just said that she spent her time with her family. When she was on her way to James' office, he suddenly called her. James said that there was an emergency, and he was on his way to the airport. He said that she could just leave the document to the executive.

It must be something very urgent that he immediately left.

"It's okay. I know it's important. Take care," Rachel said as she stepped out of the elevator.

James said a few more words before hanging up the phone hastily.

Rachel went to the executive's office, but there he wasn't there.

The secretary told her that he was in a meeting, so she sat down and waited for him.

She looked around and noticed that the office looked a little different now from the last time she was here.

But she couldn't exactly tell what had changed. She waited in the office for nearly twenty minutes.

Finally, someone walked in. Rachel stood up and was about to address him as "Executive Fang."

However, the man in front of her was a stranger. It wasn't Executive Fang.

'Maybe he's a guest of Executive Fang,' she thought. While thinking about it, she saw that the man walked towards her. He was in his fifties, and he was wearing a kind smile on his face. He greeted

her, "Hello! Rachel, right?"

It seemed that he already knew her. Rachel nodded and hesitated to ask, "You are?"

"I'm Executive Zeng. James said you have something to give me, right?"

Rachel was a little surprised, but she still handed him the document in her hand.

The man took it, and they had a few more words before saying goodbye to each other.

Before Rachel left, she caught a glimpse of the name badge on his chest.

Rachel had no idea that the hospital had a new executive. She couldn't help thinking if it had something to do with the incident.

She knew that Kevin's medical license was revoked and he was sentenced by the criminal law, but she didn't pay much attention to him.

But Rachel thought that Executive Fang had to nothing with it. Why wasn't he here anymore?

She walked along the corridor, hoping to find Lucas. However, she found out that he was on a business trip.

What a coincidence! All the people she wanted to see in the hospital weren't there. There was nothing else she could do there.

When Rachel was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

She looked back, and she saw a joyful face that she hadn't seen for a long time. Celia rushed to her and greeted with excitement, "Hello, Rachel!"
