My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 314

It had been a long time since Rachel had felt like this. She had thought that she could remain calm and rational no matter what, but she had once again become like a teenager after spending just a little time with Jack.

Hadn't she learned anything from the past?

The cleaning lady of the hospital walked into Rachel's office with a watering can to water the plants, but when she saw Rachel there, she suddenly stopped in surprise.

Rachel's shift hadn't started yet. "Dr. Shen, why have you come so early today?" she asked.

"I have something to deal with," Rachel replied.

"Is it because of Dr. Zhou?"

Almost everyone in the hospital knew that Rachel and Lucas were close friends.

Upon hearing this question, Rachel frowned. "What do you mean? Did something happen to him?"

The cleaning lady stopped what she was doing and looked at Rachel with her eyes wide open. "Ah, you don't know? There was a notice from the hospital that Dr. Zhou has been transferred to the emergency department. His father is the one who issued the order in person."

Rachel shook her head in shock. She seldom checked the hospital's notice board.

She wondered why Lucas hadn't mentioned it to her.

She stood up in disbelief and quickly walked to the notice board. When she got there, sure enough, she saw the transfer order for Lucas.

The emergency department could be said to be the busiest department in the hospital. On top of that, only a preliminary examination and basic treatment could be done there. No doctor would be able to improve their abilities there.

Besides, most doctors hoped that they could stay in the department they were good at.

Rachel knew very well that Lucas didn't want to work in the emergency department either.

So why had he suddenly been transferred there?

Shaking her head in disbelief, she dialed his number, but his phone had been turned off. Then, she hurried to the emergency department to look for him, but he wasn't there.

After worrying about him the whole day, she considered whether she should go to his house to look for him after work. Unexpectedly, she received a text from him. "You heard? Don't worry. I'll go to the hospital the day after tomorrow. I'll explain everything then."

After reading the text, Rachel called him immediately, but his phone was turned off again.

Nevertheless, his text message set her mind at rest, and her worries lessened.

For the first time in his life, Jack felt that time passed at an excruciatingly slow pace.

He had waited nearly half an hour downstairs for Rachel only to be told by her neighbor that she had gone out early.

Therefore, he could only wait till she was off duty to pick her up and have dinner with her.

The whole day, his mind was occupied by the prospect of seeing Rachel again, so when he saw that it was finally almost time for her shift to end, he stood up to leave.

Austin happened to have a document for Jack to sign, but when he saw him packing his things up in a hurry, he didn't know whether to give him the document or not. Instead, he froze in place.

Jack glanced at him and said, "Put it on my desk. I'll see you tomorrow." Then, he strode toward the elevator.

Seeing this, Austin felt a little unsettled.

Over the past three years, Jack had been more like a working robot than a living man. He had spent all his time and energy on MK Group without pausing to rest.

During that period, Austin had also suffered a lot.

But now, he was happy that he could put down the document and get off work early.

It was not easy to find a parking space in the rush hour after work. When Jack finally parked the car and was about to get out, however, he suddenly saw Rachel and Bill getting into a car and leaving.

Rachel had been about to leave the hospital and go home when Bill had suddenly shown up at her office with two movie tickets. "Are you interested in watching a movie with me?" he had asked.

The two of them had similar tastes in movies. In fact, Rachel had been waiting for this movie for a long time and had planned to watch it during the weekend.

Two hours later, when they walked out of the theater, Rachel sighed contentedly. "It was a beautiful movie."

"Rachel, if it were you, would you do the same thing?"

Bill asked, looking at her expectantly.

"What?" Rachel asked, not understanding what he meant. "If you were the female lead of the movie, would you stay with him or leave him?"

In the movie, the male lead had advanced lung cancer. He hadn't wanted the female lead to see his ugly appearance after the chemotherapy, so he had lied to her and left.

However, later, when the female lead found out the truth, she refused to go back to him.

At that moment, she had suffered so much abuse and insults from other characters. Even the people sitting in the theater and watching the movie could not help but get angry at her.

At the end of the movie, the female lead had stood alone in front of the male lead's tomb within tears running down her face and said, "You will always be the most handsome man in my heart."

Rachel hadn't expected that Bill would ask her such a question. She thought for a while and replied, "I will be with him till the end of his life."
