My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 284

Jack and Rachel's romance was interrupted after he found she was injured. He gently helped her lie down and said, "Have a good sleep."

In the darkness, her breathing gradually became regular.

A while later, Jack rose from the bed and walked to the balcony with his phone in hand. "Go ahead," he ordered.

At that time, in another part of the city, Holley's hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with a rag. She looked at the two men in front of her in horror.

When she had returned home from the gay bar she had gone to in the evening, she hadn't expected to see two strange men at her door.

In her drunken state, she had roughly yelled, "Get out of my way," while attempting to fish her house keys out of her handbag. However, the two men had stopped her and taken her away.

As Holley stared at them with wide eyes, she wondered, 'Are they going to...?'

Her face turned pale with fear as all kinds of possible scenarios flashed in her head. The taller man squatted down in front of her and took out the rag from her mouth.

"Bah! Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" Holley raised her voice as soon as she could speak.

Talking in a loud voice gave her some confidence, no matter how scared she felt on the inside.

The man sneered, "What do you think we want?" "Don't touch me! If you dare to touch me, I will.

"What will you do?" the other man cut in before she could finish her sentence. He was expressionless, but he had a deep scar on his face that made him look cold and frightening.

He glanced at her with disdain and continued, "You lesbian freak! Tonight, we'll teach you how to have some fun!"

The next day when Rachel entered the hospital, she saw all the nurses talking to each other in small groups.

It seemed that another piece of gossip had surfaced. Not thinking much of it, she headed straight to her office. Just when she was about to enter, she heard someone calling her name from behind.

She turned to see a strange face. "Yes?" Vicky was stunned. She had heard about Rachel's amnesia, but she had been skeptical about it.

Judging from Rachel's attitude toward her, however, it seemed that the news was true. Rachel was looking at her like this was the first time they had met.

Recovering quickly, she said, "My name is Vicky Chu. I work in the hospital laboratory."

"Hi, what can I do for you?" Rachel couldn't recall having anything to do with the laboratory recently.

Vicky took out her cell phone, opened an article, and showed it to Rachel. "Take a look, please!"

It was an article about Holley and had been released at 7 in the morning.

Rachel glanced through the article. Then, hiding her surprise, she handed back the phone to Vicky and casually said, "This is her private matter."

It seemed that this was what those nurses had been gossiping about.

"You and Jack didn't release this news?" Vicky asked uncertainly.

The first thing that had come to mind when she saw the news was that Jack and Rachel had finally taken their revenge on Holley.

In fact, she would be lying if she said that she didn't want them to take revenge on that sick woman.

"Me and Jack?" Rachel asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

Ever since two days ago, she felt like she was in a perpetual state of confusion.

She had a strong feeling that she had lost a very important memory, but she could not remember what it was.

Vicky smiled awkwardly. "If you don't know, never mind. I have to get back to work. See you.

Rachel stared after her and frowned. How could she pretend nothing had happened after hearing what Vicky had said?

She decided to ask Jack about it.

At Jack's office, Austin shifted around uncomfortably, sensing that Jack was not in a good mood today.

In just this morning alone, he had scolded three managers over some trivial problems.

When it was lunch time, Austin asked, "Mr. Fu, did you have a fight with Mrs. Fu?"

"No, what makes you think that?"

Jack's face suddenly darkened. In his eyes, things between them had been better than ever. "It just seems like you're in a bad mood," Austin replied.

For a moment, Jack was speechless. Then, he took a sip of his tea to moisten his throat and joked,

"Austin, instead of being a secretary, you should become a scriptwriter!"

Austin smiled awkwardly in response. Fortunately, the waiter came up to serve them their food. Seeing Jack pick up the knife and fork, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Jack suddenly put down the fork and knife and asked, "Where did you suddenly get such an idea from?"

Austin shrunk back in his chair. He hadn't expected that Jack would continue this topic. In the end, he summoned up his courage and answered, "It's just that you look down today.

Didn't you have a fight?"

He was a little nervous.

"No."

However, an uneasy feeling overcame Jack. He stared at Austin for a moment and then took out his phone and dialed Rachel's number.

At the hospital, in the ladies room, Rachel washed her hands under the tap for a while, and then dried them with some tissue paper. Just when she was about to leave, she heard voices coming from outside.
