My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 317

The relationship between Rachel and Jack should have ended three years ago. She didn't want to get involved with him again.

Rachel continued to walk ahead. Eric walked faster until he caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Rachel, it's just an ointment for burns. Just take it."

"If you bought it, then I would definitely take it," Rachel replied seriously.

She wouldn't casually accept anything from Jack, though.

Eric felt confused and thought that he had to ask about it. "Why do you always take for granted how much other people care for you?"

In his opinion, Jack did a pretty good job of it.

"You don't understand, Eric. I just hope that you will not get yourself involved in this matter. You don't have to do anything for us. It's useless."

It was one of the most difficult things to do to explain anything related to relationships to someone who was not involved in that relationship.

It was her opinion that two people who had been separated for years had gone through a lot of things during that time that turned each of them into a different person than they were before. Because of this, getting back together was very difficult.

However, there was no lack of real world examples where couples who got separated were able to rebuild their relationship once more. A contrast to what Rachel believed.

But how many of these couples were separated by a woman like Celine?

It would be a lie to claim the she didn't care at all. How many women wouldn't be jealous of their husbands' ex-girlfriends? Additionally, Jack had love Celine so deeply back then.

When Jack answered his phone and heard Eric's low voice, he knew that the mission was a complete failure.

Each time he thought that he was getting closer to Rachel, there was always something that would get in the way of their relationship and bring them back to square one.

In the past few years, Jack had convinced himself that he should move on.

And he had long thought that he was successful in convincing himself.

However, when he saw Rachel at the airport, it made him realize that his feelings for her never truly disappeared, but was only hidden deep in his heart.

And now, those feelings had returned to the forefront and were even stronger than before. He felt that he had to get back no matter what.

When he reached his office, Eric sighed and shook his head. Five minutes later, he picked up the ointment and threw it into the trash can.

Out of nowhere, a fair-skinned, slender hand reached into the trash bin and took out the ointment once more. She turned her head to Eric with a confused look. "Why did you throw it away, Eric? It doesn't look like it has ever been used before."

Eric turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see that it was Zoe Huang from the executive department.

She was one of the most graceful girls in the company. Many of the male employees in the company had a crush on her. However, none of them had ever had a chance with her.

Eric had always thought that she was pretty, but they didn't know each other personally. Since she took the initiative to have a conversation with him, he was taken completely by surprise. "I no longer have any use for it. So, I decided to throw it away."

Zoe Huang brought out a piece of tissue and wiped the outside of the bottle, and placed it on the table. "Just keep it. Maybe someone will have need of it someday." Eric silently nodded his head in response. He did not dare to say "no" to her.

Zoe Huang didn't leave immediately, and instead smiled at him sweetly. "Are you free tonight, Eric?" she asked. "My laptop is broken. Do you have the time to check it for me?"

Eric worked in the technology department of MK Group and dealt with computer issues every day. "Yes, of course, but I have no idea where you live," he replied immediately with a nod.

"I'll come to you after your shift. Just wait for me."

Eric began to smile to himself as he watched her walk away. 'Is this an opportunity for me to go further with her?' he wondered to himself.

It was rare for Rachel to remain quiet for two days. She slowly untied the bandage wrapped around her arm. The blisters had almost completely disappeared, but there were still traces left. She just needed to use the scald ointment.

Celia, who seemed to be more scared than her, remained silent all the time.

"Celia, take a breath. You might suffocate yourself," Rachel said to comfort her.

Her words seemed to have brought Celia to her senses. She turned to Rachel and asked, "Is that going to leave a scar on your arm, Rachel?" "No, it won't," Rachel replied briefly. She rolled down her sleeve to cover the wound. She then turned to Celia, who still looked more like a child. "Be careful in the future," she reminded her.

The woman who said that she wanted to take revenge was detained by the police for two days and then released. It made Rachel worried that the woman might find another way to do something bad to Celia.

And there was no way that she would always be so lucky to escape each time.

"I understand. I'll be careful."

The telephone of her desk suddenly rang. Rachel reached for the phone to answer it right away. She was then very busy that she didn't notice when Celia's face flushed.

It was James and he called Rachel into his office again. She assumed that he wanted to talk about Lucas once more.

Lucas was in the emergency department for a very long time, but he never asked to be transferred back.

Rachel knocked on the door of the office and then peeked inside. "Uncle James, you wanted to talk to me?"

James looked at her, and motioned for her to come in and sit down. "Are you free tonight, Rachel?" "Yes, what can I do for you?" Rachel replied.
