My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 390

Normally, the patients in cardiology department were divided into two groups. One was in charge by the director, and the other was in charge by Rachel.

But today's situation was different. Her workload was double. After she was done checking the patients, Rachel walked to the other side where the interns stood. Passing them a smile, she said, "You will be learning more today."

While she was immersed in her job, Eric and Linda stayed back in Rachel's office, playing with their phones.

All of a sudden, the door of the office was gently pushed open. A man stood before them as his eyes remained glued on Linda. In a trembling voice, he said, "Linda, do you have a minute? I want to talk to you."

Linda didn't even bother to look up. However, Eric did.

He had no desire to talk to this stranger, but the main refused to leave. The atmosphere was getting a bit awkward. Without any choice, Eric looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Until now, the man hadn't even acknowledged Eric's presence. His focus had been Lina. But now, he shifted his gaze to him and asked, "Who are you?"

A little annoyed, Eric said, "I'm her son. And you didn't answer my question."

"Oh, I'm her old friend. I want to talk to her. It has been a long time."

Before the man could finish his words, Eric waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm asking your name. Unfortunately, my mother has lost her memory. Trying to talk to her won't be any good as she probably doesn't remember you. But do tell me your name."

"Oh, my name is Kale Ma."

As soon as he finished speaking, Linda suddenly raised her head, frowned and shook her head. She looked at Kale Ma as if she was seeing him for the first time.

In spite of this, Eric turned to her and asked, "Mom, do you remember him?"

"No." Her face was bereft of any emotions and her tone was indifferent. Lowering her head, she once again went back to playing with her phone. It looked like she held no interest in this man. A ray of hope had budded in Eric's heart. However, seeing there was no recognition in his mother's eyes, disappointment welled up again. In an attempt to look cheerful, he said, "Take a seat please. I hope you can understand her situation. If you have something to say, you can tell me." "I..." Kale opened his mouth but words didn't come out of it.

He looked down, taking a short break. After a while, it seemed like he had made up his mind to speak up. But before he could speak, the door of the office was pushed open. Kale's wife stood there, looking at them with her fierce eyes.

With one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Kale, she scolded, "After all these years, you still haven't forgotten her, have you? And look at your audacity! As soon as you knew she was here, you came running!" Frustration was evident in her voice.

Unaware of what was happening in her office, Rachel put the medical record back on the bed. Glancing out of the window, she breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the last patient, right?"

"Yes. It's finally over," said one of the interns standing behind her.

"Thank you all for your hard work today." Rachel passed them a weak smile. She was extremely tired. In her current state, she would be willing to give up anything to be back home. It had been a long day.

She rubbed her temples, trying to subdue the throbbing headache she was experiencing.

However, it turned out her day had only begun. Celia came rushing. "Rachel! There is a fight going on in your office," she announced, a little out of breath. "What! What's wrong?" she asked, forgetting all about her fatigue. Rachel assumed her aunt had lost her temper once again.

"It's your aunt's ex-boyfriend. He just showed up and..."

Celia's voice trailed off.

After thinking for a while, Rachel looked at Celia and said, "I have a few more things to sort out. I will come there as soon as I finish here."

At the moment, Jack was glancing at his wardrobe. Finally, he selected a suit. While buttoning up, he asked Austin, "Have they arrived yet?"

"Not yet. They're on their way. And will probably reach in ten minutes," answered Austin.

Nodding his head, Jack announced, "In that case, we should be leaving."

There was a business negotiation that was about to take place. If the negotiation was successful, fifty percent cost of the MK Group's office supplies would be reduced. And the money would be given to the charity. This was a wonderful way to build the reputation of the company.

Therefore, Jack was determined to win this negotiation.

As soon as he stepped out, Jack's phone rang. He stopped at the roadside and took out his phone. When he saw Rachel's name, he immediately picked it up. "Hello?"

"Jack, are you free? There is an emergency," said Rachel, panic evident in her voice.

Jack frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Eric has been taken into the custody. My aunt and I are waiting here outside the police office, not knowing what to do. Could you help us?"

He put away his phone and caught a taxi.

Austin, who had been expecting him in the passenger seat, was confused to watch him choose a different path. Opening the door, he followed Jack in a hurry and asked, "Mr. Fu, where are you going?"

"Give my apologies to them. You're in charge of the negotiation." Before Austin could have asked more questions, the taxi left, leaving him dumbfounded.

For a few seconds, he remained on the spot, wondering what could have made Jack skip this meeting. But soon, he recovered and went to do what his boss had asked him to.
