My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 9

In the end, Rachel and Jack parted in discord.

After returning to her office, Rachel planned to find another apartment for Eric, one that was much closer to the hospital so that she could help him in case something bad happened.

'Anyway, Eric is my cousin! I don't think Celine would dare to set him up with me keeping an eye on him!' she thought.

She called one of her friends and asked him to find a new apartment for Eric.

After she hung up the phone, she went to complete the discharging formalities for Eric.

Then, she went to his ward.

Eric was sitting on the bed and feeling bored. As soon as he saw Rachel walk in, he asked, "Rachel, where have you been? Where is Celine?"

Seeing Eric's careful expression, Rachel suddenly felt helpless. Eric knew very well that she didn't want to hear him mention Celine, but he really couldn't help inquiring about her whereabouts.

Who could she blame? Eric was acting like a child now. Both Jack and Eric were selfish when it came to Celine and didn't care about others' feelings.

"You can leave the hospital soon," Rachel said coldly.

"Really?" Eric couldn't believe his ears. He felt ■3

bored out of his mind after staying in the ward all these days.

"Eric, I warned you last time. Stop seeing Celine. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you the next time Jack comes for you," Rachel said seriously.

"That's between me and Celine. I like her, and she's willing to come here to see me. It's none of Jack's business," Eric retorted. He believed that Jack was just bullying everyone because of his power. Anyway, last time, he had just made a mistake because of his carelessness. Now that he was seeing Celine seriously, there was no reason for Jack to step in.

Moreover, Jack was a scumbag. He was married to Rachel, and yet he was brazenly pursuing Celine in front of so many people. Eric just couldn't understand why Rachel would marry such a man. "Jack is not a good person. He doesn't respect you at all! You should divorce him."

"Don't worry. I will pay half the rent."

Eric had wanted to tell her that he wouldn't be able to pay the rent as an excuse, but Rachel had cut in before he could finish his words. He had no choice but to shut his mouth and pretend to be ■3

obedient.

"Have a good rest. I'll get you discharged soon," Rachel said again. Then, she walked out of the room as she didn't want to continue this conversation anymore.

The truth of her marriage with Jack was so absurd that no one would believe it. If Eric found out, he would make a scene. Rachel had been able to tell from his words that he didn't like the Fu family.

As Eric watched Rachel walk out of the room, he felt that there must be something wrong between her and Jack. Jack was such a ruthless man that perhaps he had threatened Rachel into staying with him.

Eric vowed to himself that one day, he would figure out everything about the Fu family. When that time came, he would not let go of Jack.
