My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 86

Without the experience of taking care of children, Jack didn't intend to look after Mendes, so he just said, "I'll tell you when he wakes up."

"Sorry to trouble you. I'm leaving now," Rachel said.

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "You're welcome."

It was the busiest morning since she had first moved into the house. The house was full of vitality, not as cold as usual.

When she reached the door, Rachel looked back at the house.

More than ten years ago, she had a lively and warm family. It was the sort of house in which her mom would wake her up every morning, cozy and loving.

She had a father who had always spoiled her. At that time, she had not been as cold and aloof as she was now.

Rachel couldn't clearly recall the details of her

past.

Time went by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the anniversary of her parents' death would be very soon.

No one knew that the grief of losing both her parents had lingered in her heart for so many years and had never faded. ■d

Now, the warmth and happiness she had experienced in her family were a distant memory.

Since Jonathan left Rachel's place, Jack also moved out and didn't stay there anymore.

Rachel breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. With Jack elsewhere, she didn't have to stay under the same roof with him. This helped her avoid some discomfort and embarrassment.

She described her situation to Lea as being like a pit she couldn't climb up from.

Now she was going deeper into the pit. She didn't tell Lea about her feelings, because she thought Lea would just call her an idiot again.

Rachel made up her mind to keep her distance from Jack from now on.

The weekend came soon. The party was in the evening. Rachel dressed herself up, and she called Lucas after she was ready.

Lucas told her he was on the way. Ten minutes later, Rachel received his call.

His car was already downstairs. When Rachel came downstairs, the backseat window of the car was rolled down. There was a beautiful woman sitting inside, who lifted her hand in greeting.

Rachel was slightly taken aback, but she smiled. She was about to open the door of the back seat.

However, the women stopped her and said, "Sit in the front."

Rachel walked to the front, opened the door and sat down in the car. After she fastened the seat belt, she turned around and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Lea said, "I just come along for the ride."

'Come along for the ride?1

Rachel looked at Lucas, thinking that this trip wouldn't be a peaceful one.

Lucas realized what she meant. He shook his head helplessly and said with a regretful expression, "I let it slip."

"So, you wouldn't have let me know if you hadn't let it slip? Aren't we friends?" Lea asked.

"We're not really going there for fun!" Lucas answered.

"I don't believe you!"

In order to prevent the two of them from bickering, Rachel quickly changed the topic. She asked Lucas, "Who did your mother introduce you to?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lucas' face. He cleared his throat and said with a little embarrassment, "She is the Hawk Pharmaceutical Company president's sister."

'Hawk Pharmaceutical Company?' In recent years, the medicine industry had developed rapidly. It was not surprising that Lucas' mother would become interested in that family.

Rachel still remembered that a few years ago, Hawk Pharmaceutical Company also suffered some major financial losses and it almost went bankrupt.

Later, Rick Ying, the company president's eldest ■d

son, came home from abroad and took over the company. It took a few years, but eventually the company recovered, and then it became stronger than ever before.

As Rachel worked in a hospital, it was natural that she knew something about this family.

However, since Lea was an airline stewardess and seldom stayed in Ninwell City, she didn't know about the recent ups and downs of business in the city.

She seemed to have heard the name, but couldn't remember clearly. She tapped her fingers on the back of Rachel's seat and asked, "Tell me more about Hawk Pharmaceutical Company."

So Rachel told Lea what she knew as simply as she could. After listening carefully, Lea was still confused about their business and blurted out, "I don't know how big their business is. Is it a company bigger than MK Group?"

She spoke so fast that she forgot that MK Group was under Jack's control.

It was not until she finished her words that she remembered whose she was talking about. Fortunately, Rachel gave no sign of being upset by her comment, and continued to explain, "MK Group is different, it's involved in various sectors."

Lea nodded her head. Lucas added, "It's undeniable that in the past few years, MK Group has also developed very well under Jack's management. Like Jack, there are a few other young men running big companies, such as Cheng Group's president." ■d

When she heard the name of Cheng Group, Rachel's heart gave a slight tremble. She couldn't help thinking of Wendy, who had committed suicide by jumping off a building.
