My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 368

Rachel frowned slightly.

She was actually about to ask if she just misunderstood it, but she didn't expect to hear Celia's cold voice. With an expressionless face, she said, "Rachel, I'm very busy here. Please leave me alone."

When Rachel looked at her, the look on her face was like saying, "You are not welcome here."

Without saying anything more, Rachel nodded, turned around, and walked out of the pharmacy. She was on her way back to her office when Mindy, who was about to end her shift, grabbed her arm.

She yawned, leaned her head over, and asked, "Rachel, I saw you just went in to see Celia. Did she still look unhappy?"

"Yes."

Rachel was not the type of person who liked gossip. But since she was really curious about Celia, she couldn't help asking, "Do you know what's wrong with her, Mindy?"

Mindy turned to look at the pharmacy first before she pulled Rachel to her office. After closing the door, she said in a low voice, "Rachel, everyone in the hospital is talking about Celia now. I bet you don't know about it because you seldom talk with your colleagues here. Besides, you got off work early yesterday."

Turning her head slightly, Rachel looked at Mindy with an earnest expression on her face. She couldn't figure out what was going on with Celia, so she asked in confusion, "What are they talking about her?"

Mindy's eyes widened in surprise as she said exaggeratedly, "How come that you don't know? You are the closest to Celia in this hospital. Everyone is saying that she hooks up with a handsome and rich man, which is why her father can work in MK Group. Isn't it a good thing for her?"

Rachel's heart skipped a beat after hearing what Mindy said.

As she recalled Celia's reaction just now, she could say that the latter had surely misunderstood her.

The expression on her face changed slightly. She hid the unusual look in her eyes and said indifferently, "I don't think it should be a big deal. Celia's father made it to MK Group all because of his own ability."

Mindy was stunned. Her mouth twitched before it curved into an awkward smile. "Rachel, since you don't seem to believe what everyone is saying, I have nothing else to say." Looking at her back as she slammed the door, the creased in Rachel's eyebrows got deepened. She had some explaining to do to Celia after work.

She planned to talk to Celia after work, but to her surprise, Celia came to her first.

After eating lunch in the canteen, Rachel went back to her office immediately. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Celia standing inside with her head down. Unfortunately, she couldn't see the expression on her face.

She threw the tissue into the trash can first before she asked, "Celia, have you eaten lunch already?"

"Rachel."

Celia called her name in a low voice. She raised her head, and Rachel saw her red eyes welling up in tears. She asked resentfully, "Why did you tell others about what happened between Marcus and me? Why did you tell them that my father was able to work in MK Group because of him? Why did you turn me into a bad woman in their eyes?"

Every question she threw was like a hammer that smashed Rachel's heart heavily.

She looked straight into Celia's eyes and said firmly, "I didn't do that."

Celia wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and sneered, "You didn't? So how did they know? I've never told anyone about it except you. How can I believe you?"

Tears started to well up in her eyes again.

Rachel was about to take a step towards her when she suddenly shouted, "Stay away from me!

Pointing an index finger to Rachel, she roared, "I have always considered you as my sister. I trusted you, so I told you everything. But I never thought that you would betray me. I shouldn't have trusted you."

Celia's words came one after another, leaving no chance for Rachel to explain.

She had a lot to say, but eventually she just said weakly, "Celia, I swear, I didn't tell anything to anyone. If you don't believe me now, I know the truth will come out in the future."

With Celia's current state of mind, it would be useless if she explained, so she decided not to say more. Instead, she turned and walked to the door. Before she left her office, she said lightly, "Celia, think about it yourself. What will I get in telling others about it?"

Rachel smiled bitterly. She felt so sad because the person she regarded as a sister hated her and accused her of something she didn't do.

Worse was, she was not willing to listen to her explanation and condemned her. Celia was left alone in the office. Looking at Rachel's receding figure, she broke down on the floor and burst into tears.

Actually, before she heard the news in the hospital yesterday, she had already gotten a hint from Bertha.

Yesterday, Bertha kept asking her for some money to help with the living expenses in their home. But the amount she was asking was far higher than her monthly salary in the hospital, so she refuted. Bertha then said in a contemptuous tone, "I don't think I am asking too much money from you. Besides, you won't run out of money because there is a rich guy supporting you. What are you worrying about?"
