My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 366

Rachel just came out of the restaurant with Jack when she received a message from Celia.

It was such a beautiful night, with the moon flickering under the dark clouds, so she said to Jack on a whim, "How about we take a walk for a while?"

Pleased with her suggestion, Jack smiled and answered, "Why not?"

While they were walking, she sensed that he was in a good mood, so she didn't hesitate to say her real intention. "Can you help me with Celia's problem?"

The reason why she told Jack about Celia's problem was that she wanted him to help her get rid of the latter's father.

She wanted Celia's father to leave Ninwell City, so she didn't need to get along with him and her stepmother anymore.

Thinking that he would surely help her, she was confident when she told him what she wanted to happen. But to her surprise, he shook his head and said lightly, "It's not easy to interfere in other people's family matter."

"But her father has gone too far," she retorted. She thought of acting like a spoiled child to induce him, but after giving it a careful thought, she dismissed the idea in her mind.

Instead, she pulled a long face and asked, "Are you going to help me or not?"

Jack smiled, and Rachel took it as a good sign. Her eyes lit up in excitement upon thinking that he had already agreed.

He looked at her affectionately and saw the expectations in her eyes.

Patting her head gently, he said, "I have never seen you so warmhearted before. Why do you want to help her all of a sudden?"

Instead of answering his question, Rachel pinched a small skin on his waist.

"Ouch!" he cried upon feeling the sudden pain. "That hurts."

"Are you saying that I am a cold-blooded person?" she asked, giving him a sharp glare.

Jack couldn't stand her threatening eyes, so he patted her forehead softly and cleared his throat. "Okay, okay, I admit defeat. I'll ask someone to investigate her father's current situation. Then we'll talk about it later."

"Alright." Because of too much excitement, Rachel faced him and held his arm. While her bright eyes stared at him, she tiptoed and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. She was like a little girl who had finally gotten a lollipop.

Seeing her expression amused Jack. He looked at her and was about to give her a deeper kiss in return when his phone suddenly rang.

When he took out his phone and saw the familiar number on the screen, he frowned lightly. He let go of her hand and said, "I'll just answer this."

He walked a little far away, so Rachel couldn't hear what he was saying on the phone. When he came back, the expression on his face had already returned to usual. He held her hand again and said casually, "Let's go home."

Although winter in Ninwell City was not very cold, the cold wind that blew that night felt like needles pricking her face.

And since she had already achieved her goal, she thought they had walked enough, so she nodded in agreement.

The next day, Rachel deliberately worked overtime to wait for Celia, who was on the night shift. As soon as she saw her, she took out a bottle of medicine and said, "Follow me in my office. I'll apply some medicine on your back."

Celia was stunned for a few seconds before she finally understood what Rachel meant. She waved her hand and said, "No, thanks. It doesn't hurt anymore. The bruises have gradually healed, I believe." Rachel was not convinced with her answer and patted her back. It was just a light touch but enough to make her feel the pain.

To suppress the scream that was about to escape from her throat, Celia bit her lower lip. However, Rachel saw when she grimaced.

Glancing at her helplessly, Rachel poked her forehead and said, "Don't be stubborn. Come with me."

The bruises had started to turn black. Rachel poured some medicine on her palm and gently rubbed it on Celia's back.

Celia kept wriggling and shouting, "Rachel, be gentle."

However, Rachel exerted more strength and said, "You are a nurse. Don't you know that bruises dissipate faster when rubbed harder?"

"I know, but it's too painful."

Celia couldn't stand the pain anymore, so she hurriedly asked Rachel to stop. As she looked at her back in the mirror, she saw that her skin had reddened.

After putting her uniform back on, she leaned her head on Rachel's shoulder like a spoiled child. "Rachel, thank you. You are so kind to me."

Rachel patted her head and replied earnestly, "You are welcome. But I can't always be there to do this to you. It's more important that you learn how to take care of yourself."

Celia was only a few years younger than Eric, and she was one of the few friends she could easily talk to, so Rachel had already treated her as a younger sister.

It was one of the reasons why she got so angry and asked for Jack's help.

While driving, Jack rubbed his ears and said helplessly, "Sweetie, you have asked me that several times since you got in the car. Be patient. We need to do the investigation step by step."

Rachel giggled and said, "Sorry, I'm just a little anxious. By the way, Celia has been living with Marcus for a long time. I don't know why she suddenly moved out. Has he mentioned anything to you?"
