My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 220

Howard was now sure that Mark had met Rachel.

However, he was afraid that Mark would refuse to say anything to him just because of their sour relationship. "Mark, have you seen her?" he prodded.

Mark raised his head and shot Howard a cold glance that chilled the whole room.

However, Jack just stared at Mark silently, patiently waiting for his answer.

At this point, saying something could make matters worse.

Mark burrowed his hands back into his pockets and turned to Jack. "Yes, I saw her. She's probably at the hospital now."

Both Jack and Howard were stunned to hear this.

The former anxiously walked forward and asked, "What happened? Why is she at the hospital?"

Howard looked expectantly at Mark for an explanation; he was equally at a loss as to how Rachel could have suddenly gone to the hospital, let alone why. 'She didn't even go downstairs. Did she teleport out of the house? It doesn't make sense!' he thought.

"Bill was not feeling well, and that lady happened to see him," Mark explained. "When I called the ambulance, she went along with him to the hospital."

Jack didn't know who Bill was or what had happened, but now that he knew Rachel's whereabouts, he finally calmed down.

Before he could enquire about which hospital she had gone to, he heard Howard's anxious voice. "Wait, what did you just say? Bill is not feeling well? What happened to him? And why is he here?"

Mark just sneered at Howard. "How would I know? It's not like I made him sick. You'd better ask him."

Then, he glanced at the CCTV footage and remembered something. "Can you be more stupid? How can you not find them even after checking the CCTV?" he mocked.

Howard clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger.

Even though he knew that Mark didn't like him, he had always treated him well, no matter how rude he was.

But now, Mark had crossed the line! Did he think that Howard would sit back and take any insult? How could he raise such a rude and disrespectful stepson?

Before he could reproach Mark, however, Jack cut in. "Please tell me which hospital she went to. My wife didn't bring anything with her," he said politely.

However, Howard couldn't let go of the fury burning in his heart. "Mark, mind your words," he warned coldly.

As far as Mark was concerned, getting on Howard's nerves was an accomplishment. Once again, he ignored Howard and told Jack the name of the hospital that Rachel had gone to. "She went with the medical staff down the side staircase on the second floor, and then got into the ambulance."

Upon hearing this, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder they hadn't been able to find Rachel in the CCTV footage.

It turned out that she had left the building via the side staircase, where there was no CCTV camera.

Nevertheless, Jack was still a little worried about her.

He had no idea what was going on, and besides, Rachel hadn't taken anything with her.

"Is there anything else? I'm leaving," Mark said impatiently, looking at both of them with barely concealed disdain.

Howard was disappointed and angry at the impolite way his stepson was behaving, but this was not the time or place for them to argue about it.

"You can go now," he answered coldly.

Mark sneered and walked away.

As for Jack, he had bigger things to worry about. Deciding to head to the hospital to find Rachel, he quickly strode toward the door.

Just as he stepped out, he heard Howard's phone ringing behind him, but he ignored it and kept walking forward quickly.

He had barely taken a few steps, however, when he heard Howard calling his name anxiously. He turned around and saw him running after him.

As he stopped in confusion, he noticed his phone in Howard's hand.

Coming to a stop in front of him, Howard handed him his phone and panted, "It's your wife."

For a second, Jack was in a daze, but then he held the phone to his ear. A familiar female voice greeted him over the phone. "Jack..."

Rachel briefly explained everything to Jack, knowing that he would be looking for her. It was not until Jack knew that Rachel was fine that he finally relaxed.

"Wait for me at the hospital. I'll come right away, " he said before hanging up.

At the hospital, Rachel gave the phone back to the butler with a smile. "Thank you. I'm going to just wait here for a while."

"You're welcome! You saved Bill's life, so if you need any help, just let me know," the old man said.

Rachel smiled lightly at him. In her eyes, she had just done her duty as a doctor.

"It doesn't matter. I was just doing my job. I will feel embarrassed if you thank me again."
