The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 428

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Just when Jessica thought Justin had hung up, he said, I’ve been busy recently.”

“How busy can you get? I know you’re no longer the president of Burton Group. Was it Rachel who forbade you from coming?”

“No, it wasn’t.”

“If you don’t come, I won’t eat anything. See for yourself.”  After saying this, she hung up the phone directly. In the meantime, Rachel had also gotten up from the ground and the spot where her back hit the chair was aching.

“Give me the phone.” Jessica was determined to ask Justin to come and accompany her. Without even looking at Rachel, she demanded, “Go out! I’m going to rest!”

Then, she immediately pulled the blanket up and lay down. Rachel did not manage to retrieve the phone. Looking at the lump on the bed, she eventually said nothing and went out. I had told Justin before that he should stop meddling with

Jessica’s affairs.

Even if Jessica confiscated Rachel’s phone and intended to force Justin to comply through a hunger strike, he would not pay attention to her. I have to give her a hard knock. The caretaker was done cleaning up outside the ward. “Miss Hudson, the lady inside…”

“It’s fine. Go and prepare some supper.”

“Will she eat, though?”

“If she’s hungry, she’ll eat.”

“Okay. Then, I shall go and prepare.” After the caretaker left, Rachel sat alone on the couch in the living room and flipped open a magazine.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” Rachel answered. She thought it was the caretaker who brought the food over, but she saw Justin when she looked up.

“Why are you here?” Just as she finished asking, she saw the paper bag in Justin’s hand before he was done speaking. She immediately stood up and her facial expression took a turn.

At this moment, Jessica’s shout came from inside the ward. “Justin! You’re here, aren’t you? Where’s my fish and chips? I can already smell it!”

“Follow me outside. Rachel walked straight past Justin’s side. He followed her until they were outside the ward. Looking extremely awful, she questioned, “Why did you come here?”

Then, he answered, “Let her finish her meal early, and you can go back early too.” “Does it never cross your mind the reason she insisted you come over?” Upon hearing that, Justin frowned as he was looking puzzled.

“Forget it. I don’t want to tell you these. You can go now. No matter how she finds you or what she wants you to do in the future, pay no attention to it. As for her meal, you certainly don’t have to send it.”

Still, he wanted to say something. Yet, he bit back the words that came up to his lips. From childhood to adulthood, he was not used to explaining himself too much to others. Rachel was already the exception among the exceptions.

“Since I’ve bought it, you might as well bring it inside.” Before leaving, Justin handed Rachel the paper bag. However, Rachel did not take it. “Take it away.

Don’t send anything over in the future.” After saying this, she turned around and entered the ward. The door closed with a sound of ‘bang’. The sound was neither light nor heavy, but it happened to slam on Justin’s heart.

As soon as Rachel returned to the ward, she saw Jessica walking out of the bedroom on crutches. “Jess, what are you doing? The doctor said you can’t move.”

“Where’s Justin?” Jessica looked out impatiently. A frowning Rachel lowered her hand and was about to hold Jessica’s hand. She said lightly, “Left.” “Left? Why did he leave? Wasn’t he here to bring me my meal?”
