My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 291

Lucas' mother was referring to Claris of Ying family.

The last time Lucas came to the police station to find Rachel, Claris was with him. She even acted arrogantly as if she was already Lucas' wife.

But what had happened to them then?

Rachel looked at Lucas, hoping for an answer, but he only shook his head. He then said, "Rachel, it's getting late. I should drive you home now."

Since it was obvious that he didn't want to talk about that woman, she didn't ask anything on their way to her house. But after a while, he was the one who broke the silence. "Rachel, aren't you curious?"

How could she say that she wasn't curious if she had been hoping to hear something from him?

However, she didn't want to pry on his personal affairs.

So, she just smiled and said, "Lucas, you should know the answer to your question." Shaking her head, she got out of the car and entered the apartment building.

"Mr. Fu, I'm looking forward to our partnership." "My pleasure."

Jack withdrew his hand and turned to his car. He was about to get in when he received a call from Tracy.

"Son, have you already fixed the problem?"

"What is it?"

"Are you stupid?" Tracy got upset so her voice raised a bit. She had forgotten that she was secretly calling Jack inside the bathroom.

As expected, Jonathan, who was already in bed, heard her voice. He asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you yelling?"

"Nothing," she answered.

She then covered the phone with her hand and whispered, "Your surgery!"

Jack rubbed his forehead and pursed his lips. He turned to Austin and asked, "What day is today?"

"It's Wednesday, Mr. Fu."

In the past two days, he had been busy with the new business deal. He had focused on the contract signing today, so he lost track of the days. He thought that today was Tuesday.

"Don't tell me you have forgotten about it. Son, since when have you become so stupid that you forgot such an important thing? Tell me honestly, don't you want to do it because you are still in love with that woman?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? Let's talk about it later. I'll drop by at the clinic first to check."

After hanging up the phone, he instructed the driver to take him to the private clinic he had contacted previously. Seeing that the clinic was still brightly lit, he asked Austin and the driver to wait in the car, and he went upstairs alone.

The clinic was on the second floor. When he got there, he saw that the doctor was alone, packing his things.

Although the door was open, he still knocked.

The doctor raised his head and frowned slightly. When he recognized Jack, he said, "Mr. Fu? Didn't you say that you would come at two o'clock in the afternoon? Why are you so late?"

"I'm sorry, doctor. I have to deal with something urgent in the afternoon. Can we still do it now?" He sounded remorseful.

The doctor shook his head and said, "It's too late now. Besides, you drank alcohol, so you are not allowed to undergo an operation. I'll check my schedule and set another appointment for you."

Upon checking, the doctor's schedule was already full this week.

Jack didn't have a choice but to wait for Wednesday again next week.

While waiting for Jack, Rachel read a book in the living room. When he arrived, she saw that he didn't look well. She thought that he might be tired, so she didn't bother him anymore.

After washing themselves, they both went to bed and slept.

The next morning, Celine was in a good mood. She was holding a memory card in her hand.

She had just finished watching the video of the compiled photos taken last night, and she was satisfied with it.

If she sent Jack this video, she believed that he would begin to doubt Rachel.

Her time would come.

Jack had just gotten a scolding from Tracy over the phone.

Knowing that it was his negligence, he didn't dare to defend himself. Instead, he quietly listened to her scolding until she hung up.

When their call ended, he was surprised to see that a new message came in. It was another video from the same phone number, but this time it was much longer.

Some shots were when Rachel was having dinner with the Zhou family, and some were when she came out of the house with Lucas.

Looking at the photos, anyone could say that they were a couple who loved each other so much.

Rachel was dealing with a wounded patient when her phone suddenly rang. Lucas was also there, so she asked him a favor to answer her phone.

''Hello?'1

Jack didn't expect to hear a man's voice. "Lucas?" he asked.

"Yes, it's me. Rachel is currently taking care of a wounded patient, so she couldn't answer her phone."

Without saying anything, Jack hung up. He clenched his fists forcefully, causing the blue-colored veins on his hands to pop out.

How come that he didn't notice that Rachel and Lucas were very close to each other?

When Rachel finished with her patient, she immediately called back Jack. However, he wasn't answering his phone.

She thought he was busy, so she didn't take it to heart. Jack picked her up, and on their way home, she remembered to ask, "Why did you call me this afternoon?"

"What were you doing at that time?" Jack asked indifferently.

"I was busy with a patient."
