My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 225

The policeman nodded with hesitation. "Well, I think so. He seemed very concerned about her."

She looked down to hide the expression in her eyes. A moment later, she thanked the policeman politely. "You're welcome, ma'am. Just wait a moment," the policeman replied politely. The policeman looked at his watch and then turned to her. "She's probably almost finished by now."

Rachel replied with a faint smile. But she wasn't really worried about it.

She sat down again and then waited for them to come out.

She sat with her back turned to the door, almost missing a figure talking on the phone who rushed past outside the door.

He approached the window and knocked on it. "Good evening, I need to see Chief Ren."

The policeman was surprised with the request. "Chief Ren? Do you have an appointment with him?"

"Yes, I do," the figure replied and pointed to his phone. "I'm talking with him on the phone. He wants me to come in to his office. Would you like to ask him yourself?"

The policeman nodded reluctantly and Baron handed the phone over to him.

He stood there waiting with one hand on his waist as he looked around the station. His eyes accidentally saw Rachel's back and his mind started to rate her by instinct.

Thin shoulder, a slim waist, fair skin, and black hair. He suddenly wanted to know how she looked like.

He felt an irresistible curiosity to see her face, so he planned to walk over and stand in front of her.

The policemen on the opposite side of the window called him, and handed back his phone. "Come with me, please."

Baron had no choice but to give up his plan and followed the policeman inside.

Rachel had no idea what was happening at all. She sat patiently as she waited for Jack.

Baron was no longer aggressive after he got out of his car. He made sure to make a call earlier to Chief Ren before he entered the station.

But his tone was not good as he spoke on the phone. "My girlfriend was brought there by your men. I want to know how she is. Did she kill anyone?" His words stunned Chief Ren. It immediately created a different picture in his mind.

'Isn't that Jack's mistress? Why does Baron says she's his girlfriend? Is she dating two rich men at the same time?' he wondered.

Chief Ren sensed the anger in Baron's voice. Several possibilities played themselves in his mind right away. He wanted to make sure to be ready to prevent any untoward incidents from happening.

He was able to immediately pacify Baron during the call which was the reason why he was no longer as angry as before.

Chief Ren wanted to avoid a confrontation between Jack and Baron. But he knew that Jack was much calmer than Baron.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that this Celine didn't really get along well with Jack.

Nevertheless, Chief Ren decided to ask Jack's opinion about the girl. He claimed that Celine's boyfriend would be there to pick her up and observe how Jack would react.

However, something unexpected happened.

The hospital called to report that the injury to the victim was minor and the victim was resting.

When Celine finally came out of the office, she was shaking. She suddenly acted like a child who was severely wronged. She went straight into Jack's arms, buried her face in his neck and began to cry loudly.

"It's alright," Jack said in a soft voice as he comforted her gently.

"I'm so scared. It was an accident!" She looked into Jack's eyes with her tear-filled eyes.

Jack stared back at her with expressionless eyes. He then pushed her away from him slowly without any pity or sympathy in his expression, and this startled Celine so much.

She grabbed the sleeve of his shirt with both hands and wanted to say something, but Jack stopped her. "Just take it easy. You don't have to say anything. Let's wait outside. I have already contacted a lawyer and he will be here shortly."

Her eyes grew wide as the tears threatened to fall down at any minute.

Jack sighed silently to himself. He might be an indifferent person, but he just couldn't let her suffer in this kind of situation.

After hesitating for a time, he drew her in and hugged her to comfort her.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Jack said in a soft voice to comfort her.

His words brought solace to Celine's troubled mind. She felt that, in Jack's heart, she was still important to him.
