My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 375

While Marcus and Jack were talking at the door, Rachel came to check why the latter hadn't returned to the living room yet. She was a little surprised to see Marcus, but Jack held her arm and said, "Since Marcus is here, we'd better get going. It's time to go back to work."

She noticed the confusion in Marcus' eyes, so she smiled and said, "We just dropped by to visit Celia. She's asleep now."

"Okay."

Marcus nodded slightly and watched them leave. His handsome face suddenly frowned as a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Jack and Rachel arrived at the hospital. When he parked the car at the gate, he said in a low voice, "Austin just sent a message."

While unfastening her seat belt, she asked, "What did he say?"

"Bertha is in the hospital now because of some bruises on her forehead. I don't think it's a big problem."

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. But before she could start to feel happy, Jack continued, "But according to Austin, Dylan was very angry for what happened. He lost his temper in the hospital and swore to take Celia back and teach her a lesson."

Dylan was an egotistical male chauvinist. Putting aside his relationship with Bertha, Celia had challenged his authority as the head of the family by refusing a blind date.

And now that she hurt Bertha, who he believed had contributed a lot to their family, it was expected that he wouldn't let go of her that easy.

Feeling distraught, Rachel looked up at Jack and asked, "What should we do?"

Jack patted her head and replied in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'll deal with it. You don't need to do anything, but think more about me."

'This man...'

She was rendered speechless as she glanced at him. But the feeling of sweetness still wrapped her heart.

He watched her get out of the car and enter the hospital. When she was gone, he picked up his phone and called Austin. He said coldly, "Warn Dylan. If he continues to mess around, he will never be able to stay in the city anymore. Just give him a verbal warning for now. Don't beat him."

"Yes, Mr. Fu," Austin's deep voice was heard from the other end of the line before he hung up.

Jack started the car again and drove to the company. But he was just about one kilometer away from the hospital when his phone, which he threw at the passenger seat, rang again.

He maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and picked up his phone with the other. While driving slowly, he answered it, "Yes?"

Marcus answered in a low voice, "Is it okay if you transfer some money to my account now? All my bank accounts and credit cards were frozen."

Jack hit the brakes, ignoring the honk of the car behind him.

"What happened?" he then asked.

With brows drawn together tightly, he moved the phone to his other hand. He couldn't help wondering what happened between Marcus and Larry during these two days. Everything seemed fine when they had last seen each other.

Only Larry would dare to freeze his bank accounts.

Marcus was silent for a few seconds before he spoke up again. "It's a long story. I'll take Celia to your office now, and we'll tell you the details. We'll be there in about half an hour."

Jack was afraid that things had gotten far more complicated than he had expected.

When Rachel entered the hospital, she immediately got extremely busy. This was normal at every end of the year. People were not only busy in going shopping, but also visiting the hospital. Since they had a lot of social engagements, they thought it was necessary to see a doctor.

When she finished with the last patient, she went back to her office. She took a deep breath, thinking that finally, she could have a good rest. But all of a sudden, her office door was pushed open from the outside.

As soon as Jack got in, he grabbed her arm and said, "Ask for a leave and go out with me now."

In Jack's office, Marcus and Celia were already sitting on the sofa, waiting. There were two suitcases in front of them. From the looks of it, they were running away from home.

Indeed, they were leaving.

When Jack and Rachel arrived, they were both stunned to see them with the suitcases. But before they could react, Jack asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Marcus replied with a sigh, "We are planning to go abroad for a while."

Frowning, Rachel was the next to ask, "Why so sudden?" Celia pressed her lips tightly and turned to look at Marcus. She seemed to be too shy to speak up.

The atmosphere around them froze for a few minutes. Marcus put his arm around Celia's shoulder and said in a low voice, "I just made it clear to my father that he shouldn't interfere with our relationship."

His words were plain and simple, but they sounded more tortuous at this time.

When Jack and Rachel left Celia's apartment this morning, Marcus entered her bedroom. Thinking that she was still sleeping, he didn't disturb her. Instead, he put the breakfast he brought for her in the kitchen and sat in the living room to reply to some company emails with his mobile phone.

But Celia wasn't sleeping at that time. She just lay in the bed with eyes closed to rest, forcing herself not to think about the mess Bertha had created. Since she thought that it was still Rachel who was sitting in the living room, she didn't mind.
