The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 475

When Justin came back, Frankie had just cleared the foldable table. “President Burton,” he greeted. Justin nodded, and Frankie went out sensibly.

Rachel was sitting on the hospital bed in a trance, but when she saw Justin coming back, she straightened up and asked him something random, “Is there a problem with the foundation?” “No. It’s basically solved, and the supplies that came after are also sufficient.”

“Great.” “Thank you for helping out this time, but try not to do something so dangerous anymore. Don’t forget that Charlotte and Samuel are still waiting for you at home. You should be careful.”

“How about you?” Rachel suddenly looked at Justin with a complicated expression. He emphasized that she had to take care of herself for Charlotte and Samuel because she was a mother, but wasn’t he a father? Didn’t he also come all the way here to help out with the disaster relief?

“The role of a father is different from that of a mother. Children need a mother’s company and love to grow healthily,” replied Justin.

“Isn’t the role of a father equally important?” “It’s important, but a father who makes them proud is what children need more.” That was why he went to Baybrook for disaster relief.

Even if an accident happened, Charlotte and Samuel would be proud to have a father like him when they grew up in the future.

Rachel’s brows furrowed all of a sudden. “Who told you that? Who told you that a father’s company is not important? Who told you that it’s a proud thing to abandon your family? Do you mean that every father who pursues a peaceful life with their kids should be looked down upon?”

“That’s not what I meant.” “Then what do you mean? Justin, has the snow in Baybrook drowned your brain?”

It had been a long time since Rachel blew up. Her face had turned blue due to anger. ‘I don’t mind if you want your children to be proud of you, but you don’t have to risk your life for that, do you? You can spend more time with them instead. Crafting, helping them win prizes in school competitions, tutoring them with their homework, or even taking them out to build a snowman on a snowy day… These little things can be done easily.”

A barrage of rebukes echoed in the ward. After Rachel was done scolding and saw Justin keeping quiet, she realized she had overdone it. The atmosphere was silent. After a long while, Justin sighed helplessly, “I didn’t mean it that way.”

“I’m not that great to the extent of sacrificing myself. I just want you to be careful. Don’t do such dangerous things anymore in the future. Don’t stay awake for more than twenty hours while driving on the road in a fatigued state. It’s too dangerous.”

Even when he drove to Baybrook for disaster relief, he did not drive alone for more than twenty hours without sleep.

Rachel was indeed a little impulsive when she came alone this time. She was even more embarrassed now after hearing Justin’s explanation. “Oh… so that’s what you meant… I thought…”

“Thought what?” “Nothing.” Rachel coughed dryly to hide her embarrassment. She thought that Justin was frustrated with the tragedies happening in Riverdale, so he was willing to sacrifice his life to partake in disaster relief.

“Out of all the places in Baybrook, why did you choose Greensborough?” she muttered. There was no one else in the room, so Justin heard it clearly and replied helplessly, ‘Because other volunteers have gone to those places, and only Greensborough is too poor that no one wants to come. I can’t just leave them be, can I ?”

If one was afraid of hardships while doing charity work, they should not even volunteer to begin with. “Anyway, don’t just tell me what to do. Remember what you said and apply it to yourself.” Rachel looked at Justin with a complicated expression. “Don’t do anything. dangerous.”
