My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 129

Rachel didn't realize just how popular she was now. She spent the whole morning just dealing wave after wave of people.

Although she had already been officially transferred here, not all the necessary procedures had been finalized because of the events of the past few days.

After everyone had left, she filled a glass with water. She was about to take a sip when she heard a knock on the door.

She sighed and put the glass down. She turned around and her eyes widened when she saw the man standing by the door.

"Uncle James," she greeted him happily.

"Why are you here?"

"Something has happened at the hospital. So I came back to deal with it."

Rachel understood what he meant. James looked at his watch and said, "By the way, it's almost time for dinner. How about we go downstairs and have dinner together?"

Although he had known the whole story, James still did not believe what Executive Fang had told him.

He had not expected Rachel to be involved in this kind of issue. But he never doubted her.

Right now, he simply wanted to know what ■d

Rachel thought about the incident. Besides, he already had someone check the story out. When it came to matters involving the hospital, James gave it his all.

In addition to Rachel being taken away the previous day, another thing shocked people.

They hadn't known that Rachel was a married woman.

The day before, many had been watching. After the man who had claimed to be Rachel's husband had left with her, he was all that the nurses could talk about. The conversations mostly revolved around how good-looking he was.

Some had guessed that he could pass as an actor, while some had speculated that he was perhaps a model.

Someone in the department produced a photo of Jack attending an event.

This photo caused another debate. In this photograph, published by the media, the man's identity was clearly indicated. The caption read: Mr. Jack Fu, president of MK Group.

The man in the photo wearing a slick suit was the exact same man who had appeared in the hospital the day before.

People started talking. It was expected of them to not know Jack's identity, but they all knew about MK Group.

This whole time, they had thought that Rachel was single. Occasionally, they had teased her and Lucas about being a couple. ■d

To everyone's surprise, she was actually married! Looking back, they realized that she had never really talked about her family before.

People in the hospital didn't know much about her and her family. Now, they didn't know what was real and what wasn't.

Rachel didn't know that she was now the subject of everybody's fascination. Most of the private conversations among the hospital employees had something to do with her.

She was unaware of all the disturbing rumors that had spread about her, but James wasn't.

Although it seemed that he seldom cared about what went on in the hospital, this could not be further from the truth. He had someone reporting hospital matters to him at all times.

As long as the issue was not serious, James did not feel the need to be at the hospital. In the beginning, Executive Fang had privately dealt with the matter. Later on, when he realized the gravity of the situation, he immediately contacted James.

Although he was yet to be filled in on the details, James had heard about the rumors.

Each time he heard something new, he grew angrier. They had been slandering Rachel right under his nose, and he didn't even know it.

It made sense that he had no knowledge of such things because he seldom went to the hospital. However, what was Lucas' excuse of not telling him? He was always at the hospital.

He had instructed Lucas to take good care of Rachel. When James learned about recent events, he had almost asked his son over to teach him a lesson.

Even with all of these things in mind, James didn't mention a word to Rachel. While they ate, he gradually changed the topic. The two talked about Sheila instead.

He wanted to know the whole story, and Rachel kept nothing from him. She told him all that she knew.

After listening to her talk, he furrowed his brow. He said solemnly, "Don't worry. I will take care of this."

Rachel slightly shook her head. "This has nothing to do with me. The patient's family didn't even report it to the police."

"They didn't?" James frowned. After some thought, he asked, "Why has the police come then?"

They wouldn't have come if they hadn't received a report. James' eyes darkened. "I'll get someone to go to the police and find out what's going on."

"Jack is looking into it now," said Rachel.

Hearing that name piqued James' curiosity.

"So, he is involved in this?"

Upon hearing the question, Rachel paused, suddenly feeling embarrassed. She nodded and faltered, "He came here yesterday."

James wanted to know what was going on between Rachel and Jack, but, on second thought, he made no mention of it. He was afraid that what he was doing was bordering on gossiping. ■d
