Chapter 421 Someone Unimportant
After expressing his thanks, Jack quickened his pace. The wound in his abdomen was pulled and he frowned tightly.
He pressed the button of the elevator with one hand covering his stomach and the other hand. When he finally arrived at the executive department, he saw that there was no figure of Rachel. There was only a girl with a ponytail sitting in the seat. She was eating the Bento in her hand and giggling while watching the series of TV series on the tablet.
He raised his hand and knocked gently on the table, asking, "Hello, is Rachel here?"
The girl put down the Bento in her hand and wiped her mouth. "Dr. Rachel just went out."
"Did she go to the canteen?"
The girl shook her head and said, "No, I heard that someone treated her for lunch. She went to the restaurant named Moo Shu on the next street of the hospital."
"Okay, I see. Thank you."
The nurse behind her saw Jack turn around and seemed to be about to go to Moo Shu, but when she saw his pale face and cold sweat on his forehead because he endured the headache, she asked uneasily, "Mr., do you want to have a rest first?"
"No, thanks." Jack just wanted to find Rachel as soon as possible.
He had thought that there was something wrong with her, so she couldn't come to the hospital to see him. But since she could go out to have dinner with others, it was obvious that he thought too much.
He wanted to ask her face to face if he was really so worthless in her heart?
In Moo Shu, there were a lot of dishes on the table, which made Rachel a little embarrassed. "Mr. Jimmy, you're too polite."
Jimmy scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to order more dishes, but the waiter stopped me and said it was enough for all of us."
"Yes, it's really too much to order these dishes."
There were only three adults and a child in total, but Jimmy ordered twenty dishes.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Rachel frowned and asked, "Why hasn't aunt come yet?"
"I'll go out and make a phone call."
Jimmy went out with his phone and soon came back with a faint smile on his lips. "She said that the child's parents suddenly had something to deal with, so she couldn't come out. Forget it, Dr. Rachel. Let's have lunch."
"What a coincidence!"
Looking at the dishes on the table, Rachel had no choice but to eat them with chopsticks.
Jimmy was a talkative man. Knowing that Rachel's pregnant, he picked up some interesting things about his wife's pregnancy. Once heard something about him, Gary would stop eating and turn to look at his father, asking innocently, "Dad, was I really so naughty at that time? Why don't I think so?"
For a moment, the atmosphere was less awkward and more familiar.
Jimmy picked up some vegetables and put them on her plate. He said slowly, "I just saw that you seldom eat vegetables, but you should eat more. My wife didn't like to eat vegetables when she was
pregnant before, and she was picky about all kinds of food. Later on the antenatal examination, the doctor said that the baby's nutrition was not good, so she changed this habit."
"I used to like vegetables, but my taste changed a lot after pregnancy."
With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel picked up some vegetables and was about to put them into her mouth. At this time, the chopsticks in her hand were suddenly taken away and thrown heavily on the ground aside.
With anger burning in his black eyes, Jack sneered, "Rachel, I didn't expect you to live such a free and easy life now!"
The blue veins on her forehead throbbed. Rachel didn't expect that Jack would suddenly appear in this restaurant.
Looking at his pale face, Rachel wanted to ask him what was going on, but she glanced at the door of the restaurant and happened to see Scarlett running in from the outside in a hurry. She stood at the door and looked around. After fixing her eyes on this side, she walked straight over.
Those words were swallowed back by her. She smiled faintly, "Not bad."
"You!"
Jack stretched out his hand to pull Rachel up from the seat, but his body shook because of the pain.
Seeing that he was so weak, there were panic and worry in Rachel's eyes. When she was about to hold him, Scarlett took a step ahead. She held his arm with one hand and the back of his waist with the other. She asked worriedly, "Jack, are you okay?"
'Yes, he still has her. He didn't need my care at all.'
Seeing this scene, Rachel silently put her hand back under the table and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Fu, we are still having meal. If you don't have anything else, please don't disturb us."
The more painful Rachel felt, the more ruthless and indifferent her words were.
She was like a hedgehog, pricking up all the thorns on her body when she was injured.
While stabbing him to bleed, she also hurt herself all over.
Rachel calmed down, picked up the chopsticks and smiled at the stunned Jimmy and Gary, "Don't let these unimportant people affect our appetite."
'Unimportant...'
Jack didn't expect that she would say such words when he came out to look for her.
His clear eyes suddenly dimmed. He put his hand on Scarlett's shoulder with difficulty and said, "Scarlett, let's go."
Hearing this, every cell in Scarlett's body became excited, but she still held it back and said gently, "Jack, slow down."
She helped him to get into the taxi slowly. Scarlett went around to the other side, opened the door and was about to get in, but was stopped by Jack, who shouted coldly, "Get out!"
Scarlett couldn't believe her eyes, "Jack..."
Hearing her weak voice, Jack only felt more and more irritable. He frowned impatiently and said coldly to the caregiver who was sitting on the passenger seat, "You get out, too. From now on, you don't have to come to the hospital again."
"Why?" The nurse's eyes widened.
Compared with taking care of other patients, this job was much more leisurely, and the salary was three times higher than that of other nurses. But she did not expect to be fired in this way.
She was unwilling and wanted to say something more, but Jack had already closed his eyes and did not look at the two of them. He said coldly and expressionlessly, "You know the reason very well. How did I tell you when I came out of the hospital?"
He endured the pain from his abdomen and said, "Drive!"
Although she forced herself to lower her head and eat the food in her bowl, Rachel couldn't help looking out of the window. The taxi was gone, and Scarlett and the nurse were still standing at the roadside. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
She frowned tightly. Jimmy, who was sitting opposite to her, looked at her silently and said, "Dr. Rachel, after all, it's your private affair. In fact, I shouldn't have intervened. But, if I'm not wrong, that gentleman is your husband, right?"
Hearing the voice, Rachel came back to her senses, looked away and nodded. She said lightly, "But we are going to divorce."
Jimmy picked up the kettle on the side, poured some water into her cup, and said slowly, "In fact, it's not easy for two people to be together. It's better to clarify any misunderstanding."
"There is no misunderstanding." Rachel took a sip of water to moisten her throat. Then she picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she said, "I'm almost full. Enjoy your meal."
Jimmy knew that she wanted to end the topic, so he didn't go on. He looked sideways at Gary, who was still eating a piece of sweet and sour spareribs, and asked, "Are you full? There are so many
things left. Let's pack them up for dinner today by the way."
Gary nodded heavily.
Looking at the interaction between the father and son, Rachel couldn't help but look down at her belly, and a burst of sadness and helplessness surged in her heart.
Jack returned to the ward and untied his coat. The wound in his abdomen had been torn, and his clothes had been stained with a large amount of blood. Fortunately, his coat was thick enough to prevent the blood from coming out.
When the doctor came to deal with the wound, he frowned and wanted to say something, but considering his identity, he could only bear it. He gritted his teeth and said seriously, "Mr. Jack, your wound is not completely healed yet. You can't get out of bed anymore, oaky?"
"Got it."
Jack replied expressionlessly. He had rested for a while in bed, but his face was a little worse than before.
Recalling the scene that he just stood at the door of the restaurant and saw Rachel talking and laughing with that man, Jack only felt a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. At that moment, the pain on his body was no longer worth mentioning!
He had hoped that Rachel could tell him that there was a reason why she didn't show up, but in the end, she said that he was just an insignificant person!
Because it didn't matter, even if she was injured to death, it was still none of her business.
Jack's pale face was immediately covered with gaunt fatigue and deep sadness.
After coming out of the restaurant, Rachel didn't go to the hospital anymore. She just called the Director to ask for leave and then went home directly. Lying on the bed, her mind was in a mess.
Thinking of what Jimmy had said, she couldn't help but wonder if there was really a misunderstanding between her and Jack? 'Should I go to find him and sit down to make it clear?'
After thinking for a while, Rachel got out of bed, took out her coat from the cabinet and put it on. When she went downstairs, the doorbell rang.
Julie came out of the kitchen in a hurry. She wiped her two hands on the apron casually and opened the door. Looking at the man standing outside with a briefcase in his hand, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"
