My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 120

Breakfast was served later than usual. Rachel looked at her watch. She would have to take the afternoon shift today.

At noon, she left home and arrived at the hospital, while Jack drove Mendes to the Fu family's house.

Mendes was well loved by the Fu family. Even though Tracy didn't give the child as much attention as her husband did, she didn't neglect him either.

She wanted a grandson more than anything, and the child was the closest one that she could have at the moment.

Rachel arrived at around lunch time. Only a few nurses were on duty as the rest had gone to the cafeteria for lunch.

She entered her office and began to file documents. Lucas suddenly called, wanting to check up on her and Mendes.

Rachel replied that they were both okay and informed him that Mendes had gone to the Fu family's house to play with Johnathan.

Rachel heard him chuckle. "It seems to me that Mendes has become quite popular."

Although he wasn't the most handsome child, but he did have a charming personality.

Lucas sighed deeply. "His father will be back soon. Will Jack be sending him back to the hospital ■d

today? I'd like to pick him up this evening."

"I suppose that can be arranged." Johnathan and Mendes were scheduled to play the entire afternoon. Jack could easily send him back after work.

Rachel wondered how much time Jack had to take care of the child. It didn't seem like he was working at all and had been spending considerable amount of time at home.

"Okay..." Lucas was about to say something further, but was abruptly interrupted. Lowering his voice, he said, "Sorry Rachel. Please hold for a while."

Before Rachel could reply, he placed the phone down. She could only hear echoes.

In the distance, she heard a woman's voice. She was reminded of what Mendes had mentioned to her.

Did Lucas have a girlfriend? She held up a pen and nervously spun it with her figures.

She wasn't jealous. She was merely curious as to the identity of the woman she heard in the background.

She heard Lucas pick up the phone and immediately stopped spinning the pen. In a hurry, he said, "I'll contact you later. I have an emergency right now. I am so sorry."

Before he hung up, she heard Lucas' powerful voice. "Claris!"

Rachel's face contorted into a frown.

'Claris? Who's Claris? ■d

Lucas seems to be hiding something.1

Before she could process that thought further, the landline rang. It was from the executive's office. "Hello, this is Rachel."

Rachel figured that it had something to do with the recent case.

The patient that had had a sudden heart attack was involved with another couple. The patient was the husband's previous first love.

The couple had a sick son, who was waiting for an operation. Rather than financing his son's operation, he had donated his money to his first love in the ICU.

Livid, the wife had complained to the executive about it.

Those in the hospital tried to sympathize with her.

She was a mother, who wanted to save her child. If Rachel had been in her situation, she would have also gotten mad.

The hospital always had gossip spreading around. Strange things often happened around here.

There were always promiscuous events occurring in the hospital. They never seemed to run out of stories.

She shook her head. Unlike the rest, she wasn't the type to spread gossip. The executive wanted to see her because he wanted to transfer her to the cardiology department.

Rachel was one of the best cardiologists. But ■d

she hesitated, not agreeing immediately to the request.

The executives pleaded, "We're short of cardiologists. Please."

They didn't want her as part of the emergency units.

She was more suited in the heart center.

Rachel sighed. She understood why she was being transferred.

She knew she didn't have a choice. In their minds, they had already decided it.

"How about this?" the executive said. Rachel furrowed her eyebrows. What bargain were they trying to strike? "Why don't you follow Kevin for the meantime, at least, until you get settled down?"

Without any hesitation, Rachel finally agreed.

Kevin had received the news earlier in the day. He had two operations and four patients to look after today. It wasn't a great time for him to mentor Rachel at the moment.
