My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 249

Jack got into the car and began scrolling through his messages,

all of which were about the incident in the neighboring province.

Unlike the news on the Internet, most of these messages containing pictures and videos were sent to him directly from on-site,

and they were far more shocking.

Jack clenched his phone anxiously as he tried to assure himself that nothing would happen to Rachel and that she couldn't have gone to such remote places.

However, the fact that he had yet to receive any update from the hospital made him feel afraid that something unexpected would happen.

Just when he was about to board the plane, he finally received a call from the hospital.

"Mr. Fu, Rachel and her team members went to the site yesterday morning to administer first aid. However, we haven't been able to get in touch with them since..."

Jack was so shocked that the rest of the other party's words were drowned by the ringing in his ears. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and heard the person say, "We have just found her. She is being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment..."

Jack's face turned deathly pale, and he was so overwhelmed with panic that he had to hold onto the armrest on his seat to steady himself. When he glanced at the time and realized that there was still ten minutes left before he could board the plane, his heart dropped.

He took a deep breath before he asked, "How's she now?"

The other party was silent. Only a moment passed, but it was enough to turn Jack's limbs cold with fear.

"Please tell me," he prompted again, raising his voice.

"Don't worry. The site is chaotic now, so we couldn't get any details. But we'll know soon."

"Okay, thank you. I will see it in person when I arrive," Jack said before hanging up.

He looked out through the glass windows of the waiting hall and saw the sun shining brightly.

About an hour later, when Jack landed in the capital city of the neighboring province and stepped out of the flight, he found that it was dark overhead.

The ground of the airport was wet and slippery. Due to the weather, many flights had been delayed or suspended.

The contrast between the weather in the neighboring province and that in Ninwell City was so huge that Jack felt depressed when he looked up at the sky.

When Tracy learned that her son had left, she was relieved. She tidied her clothes and arrived at the restaurant earlier than the appointed time.

As soon as she walked in, a waiter led her into a private room.

The young woman seated inside rose to her feet at once.

Tracy had expected to see a panicked woman. After all, Celine had been timid and restless when they had met a year ago.

To her surprise, however, Celine looked totally different now. She was wearing a blue sleeveless dress and a green jade bracelet on her white wrist.

"Hi, Mrs. Fu," she greeted with a smile, looking sweet and gentle.

If, at the very beginning, Celine had just shown up in front of her in this way, maybe she would have really liked her.

However, it was said that a leopard couldn't change its spots. Maybe this was just a facade. Anyway, Tracy didn't think too much. She nodded slightly and sat down opposite Celine.

Celine poured some tea for her and said, "It's been a long time since the last time we met, Mrs. Fu. But you still look just as young and beautiful."

Tracy, who had just taken a sip of the tea, almost choked when she heard this.

The woman in front of her might have dressed up well this time, but she was still the same person on the inside.

Her attempt at flattery was worse than that of a five-year-old child.

Of course, the last time they had met was just the middle of last year. 'It was my mistake to think she could have changed that much in such a short time,' Tracy thought disdainfully.

Putting down the teacup, she asked calmly, "When did you come back to the city?"

Celine's face turned stiff. Naturally, she hadn't forgotten that she had been expelled from the city by the Fu family.

As her heart began pounding against her chest, she subconsciously withdrew her hand from the table and began fidgeting with the hem of her dress.

All her little movements did not go unnoticed by Tracy, who gently skimmed her finger around the edge of her teacup and laughed inwardly.

'She is hopeless,' she thought.

Celine knew she had to say something, but she was afraid of offending Tracy and being driven out of this city again.

After hesitating for a while, she replied carefully, "I came back with my boyfriend a few days ago.

"Okay," Tracy said indifferently.

Celine had no idea why Tracy had called her here, so she didn't know what to say next.

'Does she want to frighten me?' she wondered,

but she pretended to be calm and strong.

Mustering up some confidence, she asked, "Have you had lunch? Do you want to order something?"
