My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 448

Rachel was surprised to hear that Jared had agreed to sign the contract with Jimmy again. Did Jack change his mind?

She turned her head subconsciously and looked at the next room.

Jimmy waited for a long time, but Rachel didn't say anything, so he said, "Do you have something else to do? If you are busy now, I won't disturb you. I will just come to visit you next time to thank you in person."

"Okay." Rachel hung up in a hurry. She had to ask Jack to confirm her hunch.

Jack put the hammer down on the floor and rubbed his finger. He lowered his head to check on it, and he saw that it got blackened after being hit by the hammer just now. But when he heard some footsteps approaching, he hid his hand as if nothing had happened. Seeing Rachel at the door, he asked, "What's up?"

"Did you ask Jared to collaborate with Jimmy again?"

He was a little stunned. "You already know?" "Yes. Jimmy called and told me just now." "I got too impulsive before, and I know I was wrong. I just hope it didn't cause too much trouble for Jimmy. If you have some free time, please help me apologize to him."

His words made her feel a little confused. There was a surprised look on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "But why did you suddenly ask Jared to collaborate with Jimmy again?"

Although she asked, Rachel could already guess roughly the reason.

"Do you really want to know?" The expression on his face slightly changed. He pursed his lips and said, "I misunderstood your relationship with Jimmy before, so I made that impulse decision."

Her presumptions were correct, so Rachel didn't look surprised anymore. She was silent for a while before she spoke again. "So, do you understand me now?"

Jack was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and walked a few steps forward. Standing in front of her, he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that we should trust each other?"

These few words from him were like an alarm that rang in her heart. She didn't expect that he would still remember what she had said before after all this time.

However, many things had already changed between them. To hide the emotions that welled up in her eyes, she lowered her eyes and said in a hurry, "I suddenly remember that I have something to do. I'll go back to my room now."

After so many sunny days, the rainy season had finally come. Rachel was in a taxi, looking out of the window and watching the rain. She checked the weather forecast on her phone, and it said that the rain would last for a week.

She didn't like rainy days because she always felt gloomy and uncomfortable. Moreover, her right eyelid kept on twitching when she woke up this morning. She got flustered, thinking that something was going to happen.

The driver pulled over at the gate of the hospital. It had been a long time since they stopped, but Rachel didn't move yet, so he called her attention. "Miss, we are already here."

It was only then that Rachel came back to her senses. She asked for the fare and took out some cash from her wallet. After handing it to the driver, she opened the door and held up her umbrella. Before she could close the door again, the driver looked back and said, "Miss, you are pregnant. Please be careful."

"Thank you."

With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel slowly walked towards the hospital. She was about to step into her office when a sharp voice suddenly resounded behind her. She looked back and saw a woman trotting towards her. With a frown, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"I need to talk to you." Scarlett walked past her and entered her office ahead.

Rachel didn't stop her, as she also wanted to know what Scarlett had to say. As soon as she entered the office, Scarlett closed the door and said, "Rachel, I want you to stop bothering Jack. Just let him go and give him back to me."

Rachel frowned after hearing what she said. "I'm not bothering him. And I don't care whoever he wants to be with."

Obviously, Scarlett came all the way here just to talk about Jack. Unfortunately, this was the topic that Rachel didn't want to discuss.

So with an expressionless face, she went straight to her desk, sat on her chair, and said coldly, "Sorry, I have to work now. If you have nothing else to say, please leave."

When Scarlett was not looking, Rachel secretly took her phone out and held it tightly. She then snapped, "The baby in my belly is mine. It has nothing to do with Jack."

"No, you're wrong!" Scarlett was now going crazy. "Jack and I will get married in the future. It means that your child will be mine sooner or later. But for now, I don't want to welcome your baby yet. It must not be born into this world."

As she spoke, Scarlett suddenly rushed over and pulled Rachel out of her desk. She was surprisingly strong. She then said madly, "I've already registered your name downstairs for an abortion. It's time now, so you must come with me. I've heard that you are six months pregnant now. Don't worry. It won't hurt. After they injected you with anesthesia, you won't feel anything. You will recover very soon."

She then laughed like crazy. Looking at her expression, Rachel couldn't help trembling. She started to feel scared.

Out of nervousness, Rachel dialed Jack's number in secret. But since she couldn't look down on her phone to check, she wasn't sure if the call got connected or not. She pretended to look brave as she roared, "Scarlett, this baby is mine. You have no right to force me to have an abortion."

Jack answered his phone as soon as he heard it ring and saw Rachel's name on the screen. And he was startled by what he heard.

Scarlett? Abortion? If Scarlett came to see Rachel, the latter must be in danger.

He hurriedly turned the steering wheel and drove to the hospital. His heart was beating abnormally fast as he kept on muttering, "Rachel, just hang on there. I'm coming."

Rachel clenched the phone in her hand tightly. Although she wasn't sure if her call got connected, she somehow felt relieved. While waiting for someone to rescue her, she tried to divert Scarlett's attention. "Scarlett, the baby is innocent. Let's talk things over. Calm down first, okay?"
