My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 255

No one knew why Rachel, who had been helping to set up the tent, had suddenly run to the collapsed building and got trapped under it.

Her heart sank when she heard what Jack said. She asked, "There's a girl named Holley in our team. How is she?"

"Holley?" Jack asked. "I don't know her."

Rachel asked again, "Am I the only one who got injured?"

"Yes," Jack replied.

"How about the others? Is everyone okay?"

"They are all fine."

Rachel felt heavy in her heart. Something came into her mind but she couldn't believe it.

How could Holley do this to her?

No matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out the answer. There were no grudges between them, so she couldn't think of any reason for Holley to do such a horrible thing.

Did she want to take her life?

Jack also didn't know who took Rachel there, so he asked, "Why did you go there alone?"

Rachel didn't know what to say. She had no evidence, so she couldn't just accuse someone. Perhaps there was only a misunderstanding.

After all, Jack didn't know how many people there were. Maybe he had gotten the wrong information.

She tried to comfort herself by thinking that she would figure out everything when she got better.

After pondering for a while, she replied casually, "I heard that a child was missing, so I went to help looking for him. But when I got into the house, it collapsed, so I was trapped inside."

'A missing child?'

Jack frowned as he analyzed Rachel's statement. A hint of doubt flickered across his eyes, but he decided to just keep it to himself for now.

After a moment of silence, Rachel asked again, "Are you sure that everyone has come back?"

He thought that perhaps Rachel was so worried about her colleagues that she kept on asking the same question again and again.

So he answered, "When the rescue team came, they took all of your colleagues out, so everyone is fine now. Some already went home while a few are still here to recover." Most of them just had minor injuries, so they were sent home after the doctors had checked on them.

Only the team leader, whose last name was Zhou, was still here to recover.

And of course, Rachel, who needed to stay longer in the hospital.

Rachel thought for a while and eventually stopped asking more questions.

Jack took the initiative to tell her one thing, "When you were still unconscious, they all came here to see you.

But since I don't want you to be disturbed, I didn't let them enter your room."

"Oh..." Rachel then yawned as sleepiness finally hit her.

Although her mind was still wandering, she slightly turned her head and buried her face in Jack's arms.

She thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep, but sleepiness had knocked her out.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, it was already morning.

She was awakened by some low voices inside the room.

Her mind went blank the moment she opened her eyes, so she stared at the ceiling for a while. Then she suddenly remembered where she was. She was stunned.

It seemed that her memory was a little impaired.

She seemed to have remembered something that happened the day before, but now she had forgotten about it again.

And as she racked her brains to recall what had happened, her mind went blank. She was in a daze.

She felt like her heart was sinking into a dark abyss, and her memory wasn't working.

Something was wrong with her. When she closed her eyes again, she heard Tracy's voice. "Rachel, are you awake?"

Rachel nodded slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, is Jack here?"

Tracy walked up to her. But since her eyes were still closed, she thought that she was still sleepy, so she said, "Yes, he is here. Did we wake you up? Go back to sleep first. I'll ask the doctor to check you up later."

"No, I don't feel sleepy anymore," Rachel said and opened her eyes, but there was no light in them. "Please tell Jack to come here."

She felt like her heart was being clenched tightly by a giant hand. The pain was making her flustered.
