My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 429

Scarlett was worried about Jack's sudden discharge from the hospital. She couldn't think of a reason that would allow her to stay with him. Thinking hard, she tried to find a plausible solution to her dilemma. The more she thought, the more frustrated she became. Just when she was dwelling on these thoughts, she received a call. Looking at her phone, she saw Jack's name on the screen. This was quite unexpected and took her by surprise.

Without giving it a second thought, she changed her clothes and set forth to meet him. Once she was there, she caught sight of Jack standing outside a club. His head was lowered and he was smoking. The cigarette butt in his hand flickered in the dark night.

She couldn't hide her excitement and trotted forward. "Jack, I'm here!" she announced.

Jack threw the cigarette on the ground and pulled her into his arms. In a distasteful tone, he announced, "Let's go home!"

Scarlett looked up at him and was flooded with elation. She asked, "Where? Whose home are you talking about?"

Jack hooked her chin and smiled wickedly. "What do you think?" he asked. A blush of shyness spread across Scarlett's face. She carefully helped Jack into the car, and then drove the car to her house. Deep down, she was glad that her mother wasn't home tonight. Exciting thoughts occupied her mind.

The next morning, Scarlett was awakened by the alarm clock she had set last night. There was nothing but resentment on her face. She couldn't forget the injustice she had experienced.

Last night didn't go as she had imagined. She had thought that Jack had finally accepted her. The way he hugged her deluded her into believing he loved her. However, it was nothing but an act. As soon as they entered the house, he sat on the sofa and ordered her to bring him a blanket. There was nothing but indifference on his face.

Scarlett opened the wardrobe, took out a sexy nightgown and put it on. Then she seductively walked to him with the blanket, trying to attract his attention. But her efforts went in vain. Jack didn't even glance at her. Pulling the blanket to his body, he closed his eyes. After a while, his breathing became even, indicating he had fallen asleep.

Scarlett couldn't understand why he had given her hopes earlier. Now that she was awake, she was getting ready to ask him these questions. Throwing away her quilt, she walked to the hall where she expected to see him. To her utter surprise, he had left. Before she could call him to ask where he was, something caught her attention. There was bank card and a key on the TV cabinet. In his neat handwriting, there was a note. It read, "Move into this house today."

Below was the address of the house. She recognized the place. It was a newly opened building in Ninwell City.

Scarlett was overjoyed. It didn't matter he was gone. He had given her a wonderful surprise and she was eager to see it. The grievance and anger in her heart had already faded. A feeling of hope budded in her heart.

That night, Rachel didn't sleep well. Something was bothering her. She woke up even before the alarm rang. 'I hope I won't be listless at work today, ' she thought to herself. She was someone who couldn't work without eight hours of sleep. She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. Then she woke after the alarm rang. After washing up, she slowly walked down with the help of the handrail.

Usually, she would find the breakfast ready by this time. But the table wasn't set today. On seeing Rachel's arrival, Julie quickly folded something and hid it in the cabinet.

Seeing her act so fidgety, Rachel couldn't help but frown. "Julie, what's the matter? You seem disturbed."

"Nothing," Julie said and feigned a smile. Slapping herself on the forehead, she confessed, "Miss, I'm sorry. I forgot to prepare breakfast this morning. If it isn't too late, shall I start now?" "Oh no, that won't be required,"

Rachel smiled. "I can go to the hospital canteen.

After watching her leave, Julie took out the newspaper from the cupboard and looked at it. It was a photo of Jack with a strange woman. Their position was quite intimate. Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew she shouldn't let Rachel see it.

'What if she gets emotional and her baby is harmed?' Julie thought, shaking her head. Deep down, she prayed this wouldn't reach Rachel's ears. But the chances were quite slim.

When Rachel arrived at the hospital, she saw Celia sitting in her office. It was rare to see here at this hour. "I thought you were busy. Why are you here today?"

Celia was transferred to the neurosurgery department and promoted to the head nurse. Rachel often received WeChat messages from her, complaining that she was too busy with her work.

"Today it isn't that busy. I was able to spare some free time." Celia smiled and fixed her eyes on Rachel.

"That's good." After taking out her meal card, Rachel locked her bag in the locker. Shaking the card in front of Celia, she announced, "I'm going to have breakfast now. Do you think you can join me?" "Of course, I am coming with you."

Celia ran up to her and held her arm. "Rachel, are you in a good mood today?"

"Yes," replied Rachel. 'What a weird question to ask!' she thought in her mind.

Then Celia asked another question. "Did you happen to read something bad today?"

Hearing her question, Rachel frowned and asked, "No, but why do you ask? Is there something I should be knowing?"

Celia shook her hand and denied, "No, of course not. I just asked casually."

Rachel couldn't shake off the eerie feeling that Celia had put into her heart. However, she hadn't eaten well last night. On top of that, she didn't have breakfast. Ouickening her pace, she got ready to take care of her grumbling stomach.

It was the peak time for breakfast in the canteen. Rachel had a long line waiting ahead of her. Standing in the line, she heard two doctors talking to each other. "Have you seen today's newspaper?"

"Not yet. I came here too late and couldn't spare time for anything else." The second doctor turned around and asked curiously, "Why? Am I missing something? Tell me."

"It's about Jack—" Celia, who had been standing quietly beside them, suddenly screamed. Both Rachel and the doctor who was about to speak were startled.
