My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 387

Jonathan sighed and stood up with the help of his walking stick. Letting out another sigh, this time louder, he said, "What is it you want to tell me? Let it out!"

There was a pause after which Jack replied, "She has lost her memory."

"What? Are you serious?" There was glimmer of hope in Jonathan's eyes. He had planned to reveal everything. In fact, he was prepared to watch Rachel leave. But now, this incredible news given by Jack had changed everything.

He couldn't believe it.

The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually subdued. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking slowly, "Are you sure? Is it confirmed?"

Life had a tendency of taking people through unexpected twists.

Jonathan wanted Jack to be cautious.

Hearing the disbelief in his voice, Jack took out a document and placed it on the desk. "This is the investigation material. You can have a look."

"Well, I will look at it. However, it's quite late now. Rachel must be waiting for you," Jonathan replied.

Tracy, who had fallen asleep, woke up. She stretched her hand to the side like she normally did but was stunned at finding it empty.

She sat up in a hurry and glanced at the clock on the side. It was three o'clock in the morning, but Jonathan hadn't come to sleep yet. Sometimes he behaved like a kid! She was

furious. "What time is it? How old do you think you are? It is high time you stopped acting like a twenty-year-old young man!"

she said angrily as she entered the study. Her fury was such that she hadn't even bothered to check who was sitting in the study at this

moment.

It was not until she had uttered these spiteful words she noticed Jack's presence. He was

sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile.

She raised her hand and smoothed her hair

awkwardly. "Why are you here during this hour?"

"I had some urgent business with Dad. I am done though. You can take him back to sleep."

Jack left the Fu family with a smile plastered on his face. It was raining and quite windy but he was unperturbed by the weather. Once he was home, he looked at Rachel who was sleeping peacefully. Slowly, he whispered, "Rachel, I hope you won't blame me for any of it in the future." Rachel had no idea he had been out. In this sleepy state, she smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck. When she woke up later, she looked at the man lying beside her and smiled happily.

After freshening up, changing clothes and dealing with everything, Jack came out of his bedroom. Rachel was busy in the kitchen and he hugged her from behind.

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and said, "Your beard hurts. Go shave and come."

"Later." His voice was deep and husky, containing a trace of laziness and sexiness.

With a sigh, Rachel let him do as he pleased. Once everything was ready, she patted on his face and her expression changed. His temperature was quite high. "Do you have a fever?"

"No, I'm fine." Jack loosened his grasp over her. But he wouldn't admit he was ill.

She went forward and grabbed his arm. Standing on tiptoe, she felt the temperature on his forehead. "You are burning! How can you say you are fine?" she asked in an admonishing tone.

After turning off the stove, she went to her room and got hold of their thermometer. It turned out his temperature was forty degrees Celsius! She started to become extremely concerned. "Go back to your room and lie down. I'll go to the pharmacy and bring some antipyretics for you."

"Don't we have it at home?" Jack said pointing to the drawer under the TV cabinet.

She shook her said and told him to remain there while she was out. "Don't you dare get up!" she warned before she disappeared out of his sight.

Her anxiety was so intense she forgot to change her slippers and ended up going out in them.

It was quite early in the morning so she had expected the drug stores outside the community to be free of people. To her utter surprise, it was bustling. The cold stream last night had made several people sick.

One by one, they were wearing masks and waiting in line.

"Miss, what do you want to buy?" asked the saleslady of the pharmacy.

Turning her head to take a look, she smiled and said, "Antipyretics."

"You should take this one. It's very effective in bringing down the fever." The saleswoman picked up one box and placed it before Rachel.

"No, this is not what I am looking for," Rachel said firmly. Being a doctor, she knew the medicine Jack needed. With a smile on her lips, Rachel raised her hand to reach for another box of antipyretics on the counter. However, someone grabbed it before she could. Looking at the counter, Rachel slightly frowned and said, "Is that all?" The lady nodded her head and said, "Yes, we have run out of it."

"Okay then." Since Rachel was out of choice, she decided to settle for the one the lady had shown. But to her surprise, her hand was grabbed by someone, and the box of antipyretics was placed on her palm.

Before she could glance at his face, she heard him say, "Here you are!"

Turning her head to look at him, Rachel asked in disbelief, "Lucas, when did you come back?"

"A few days ago. I was about to call you but I didn't expect to meet you here. What a pleasant surprise!" Lucas looked at her from head to toe. She seemed okay. "Do you have fever?"

"Oh no, I am okay. I am getting these for Jack." She frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"

Being a doctor, Rachel was able to make out if someone was sick quite easily. Plus the faint flush on Lucas' face made her almost certain he was indeed sick.

Sure enough, Lucas chuckled and said, "I caught a cold two days ago which turned into a few yesterday. So yes, I came to buy some medicine for myself."
