My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 480

"Whatever." Jack's mouth curved and a smile began to form on his lips.

At the right moment, Austin said, "In fact, the press conference is almost over. Mr. Fu, you can leave now. I can handle the rest."

Jack nodded. When he was about to beckon to Michael and others to join him, he saw Henry standing in a corner. Covering his ear with one hand to stop the noise, he was talking intently on phone.

While he was at it, they patiently waited for him.

Henry put away his phone and came over. "Kailey is found!" he announced as soon as he was near them.

"Where is she? That bitch! I am glad we finally found her," said Michael angrily, rolling up his sleeves like he was getting ready to fight her.

Rachel flinched at his words. She couldn't understand how they had suddenly found Kailey.

Paying no attention to Michael, Henry faced Jack. "A car accident took place now. Luckily, a friend of mine is a part of the traffic police team. He called me and informed that the person in question was none other than her."

"Where is she now?" Jack asked. He was eerily calm.

"She is in the hospital. She has regained her consciousness. Let's go there." Henry turned around and was about to leave but Jack held his arm.

Marcus, who had braced himself for a fight, seemed utterly confused. "Why aren't we leaving?" he asked.

Jack smiled and said, "The police must be there. Our presence won't be of any help. She is going to spill the truth."

Then he raised his chin and said to Michael, "Didn't you just say you are hungry? There's no need to starve you for this silly business. If you get tired of flirting with girls due to your empty stomach, I can't take the blame."

Jack's words eased the atmosphere. Everyone burst out smiling.

Michael glared at them and said exaggeratedly, "Yes, now you all have a family. I'm the only single man. If you delay my business, I will make it a point to harass you every day!"

"No, my Lea will get angry," Henry replied jokingly.

They walked out of the hall, talking and laughing. There was no room for sadness as they were soaking in happiness.

In the hospital, Kailey slowly opened her eyes and tried to figure out where she was. While she was trying to make sense of her surroundings, a voice said, "You had a car accident. And right now, you are in the hospital."

The memory of her car crashing came back. She finally remember everything. Looking at the doctor and police officers standing beside the bed, she knew she was in a helpless position.

At this time, the doctor took a step back, turned to look at the police officers, and said, "She is free to go through inquiry now. If you have any questions, just ask. Also if you find something wrong with the patient's behavior, inform us immediately."

"Got it." One of the police officers locked the door once the doctor was out. Then he came back and began to question her. "Do you happen to know Benny?"

"Yes," Kailey said without any hint of pretense.

She squeezed her eyes shut, stopping her tears from flowing. Once she opened them, there was only despair left.

Rachel sat up and stretched herself. After dinner last night, Michael proposed to go to the bar for a while. It was definitely not the right place for a pregnant woman. Hence she decided to go home.

She hailed a taxi and was about to get in. Just then, Jack opened the door on the other side. Rachel was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to the bar?" Looking behind, she spotted his friends looking straight at her.

Jack smiled faintly and said, "No, I want to go home with you."

Shaking her head, Rachel said, "You'd better go to the bar with them. I don't want your friends thinking I am a controlling wife."

These days, Jack was under too much pressure. Going to the bar with them would do him some good. He deserved this break.

Suddenly, she caught sight of Michael trotting towards them. He reached out to hold Jack's shoulder and announced, "Now that your wife has asked you to join us, you have no excuse to refuse."

With a smile, Rachel waved at Jack.

Jack twitched his mouth and said, "Call me as soon as you get home."

Even now, he wasn't convinced. Plunging his hands into pocket, he took out his phone. Quickly, he took a shot of the taxi's license plate number. Seeing his actions, Rachel couldn't help but sigh.
