My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 34

Rachel gently patted Mendes on his head and said, "Mendes, you may go back to your ward now. Come back a little later okay?"

Taking a glance at Rachel and then at Jack, Mendes nodded his head. Without a word, he left the room.

"What do you want to know?" Jack asked as he raised his eyebrow in a cocky manner.

"Jack!" Rachel no longer wanted to be continuously played around by the man in front of her. Her cold face was filled with anger, and was tinged with hatred for him. "How can you be so shameless?" she hissed.

"Shameless?" he repeated and flashed a smile. "Sorry, I'm not shameless at all. I just wanted you to do me a little favor."

Rachel thought this man couldn't get any more shameless, but he had. How could he be so thick skinned to say this?

In the past few days, Jack had been stressing that if there was something wrong with her, he wouldn't explain it to his father. Was he being sarcastic or serious?

Rachel let out an angry sigh. "How did you predict what would happen to me?"

Jack didn't answer immediately. His long eyelashes drooped and a shadow appeared in his ■3

eyes as he shifted from playful to serious. He tapped his knees with his fingers.

Seeing that he didn't answer her, Rachel's heart dropped to her stomach. She became angrier at once and her voice was almost squeezed out of her teeth. "Jack! Fu" she bellowed. "You've gone too far!"

He used her to lure Hiram out without even caring about her safety at all. If something went wrong, her life would be ended!

Rachel was a woman who cherished her life very much. She hated to think that her life was in another man's hands. And now she even hated her stupidity.

"Jack. Tell me what happened exactly!" she said and curved her lips with self- mockery. "You made use of you. The least you can do is tell me what happened that gave me my injuries."

"How can you be so sure that it has something to do with me?" he asked.

"Ha-ha! Do you think I'm an idiot? You suddenly treat me so well for no reason. You kept saying that you wouldn't be able to explain it to your father if something happened me. How were you so sure that I'd have an accident?" Rachel expressed in confusion and dismay.

Suddenly, the corners of Jack's mouth turned up. "Rachel, you are indeed a clever woman.

I didn't expect you to be knocked out by Hiram's man either. But I did receive news that Hiram would take action against the people around me."

To be more exact, Hiram had declared that he would teach Jack a lesson after Jack and Rachel had left the bar. When Jack got the news from his men, he took advantage of the opportunity to set a trap.

Jack came over to pick up Rachel, which was just a deceptive trick. As expected, Hiram fell into the trap. Then, in the next two days, Jack stopped picking up Rachel and waited quietly for Hiram to rise to the bait.

What he didn't expect was that they would kidnap Rachel at the hospital. Fortunately, Jack's people had been keeping an eye on her in the past few days. Not long after she was taken out of the hospital, they saved her.

With this strategy, Jack made sure that Rachel would not get hurt. In the view of Jack, she was just a bait in the dark.

What surprised him was that Rachel was so smart. When the accident happened, she immediately realized that it had something to do with him. When he heard her sarcastically questioning him, Jack became speechless in front of her.

In Jack's eyes, Rachel would not be so sensitive to realize that it had something to do with him. He never considered that she would put two and two together, and he didn't expect her to be angry either. At least, in the mind of Jack, her first reaction should be panic.

Hearing his explanation, Rachel felt used, underestimated, and most of all betrayed. At that moment, most of her anger became rational. She took a deep breath and controlled herself. She ■3

raised her hand and pointed to the door. "Please leave first. I can't talk to you right now, you've annoyed me too much!"

With a serious look on his face, Jack stood up and said, "Have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow to see if you are doing better."

Rachel was pissed off. "No need, it's none of your business anyway," she said gritting her teeth in anger.

"Stay away from me from now on if you still has a conscience. Did I ever do anything wrong to you? Is it fun for you to scheme against me? To hurt me?"

"I'm sorry," Jack said slowly. He didn't expect that Rachel would act like this.

He left the hospital and went to Michael.

"Huh? Did you really use her as a bait?" Michael asked in disbelief.

Jack instantly disagreed. "I could guarantee her safety. Besides, if she knew, she wouldn't have cooperated and followed through with the plan."

Michael suddenly hit the table with his fists. "Jack! What is wrong with your head?" he asked.

Jack hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did I make a mistake?"

Michael sighed as he sat on the arm of the sofa. He turned around and looked at him with a serious face. "Jack, were you taking revenge on Rachel?"

"What?" Jack was confused. "Why would I do that to her?" ■3

"Then why did you treat her the way you did?" Michael waited for an answer.
