My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 6

Upon seeing Rachel, Eric hastily smiled and said, "Rachel, you're here. Have you eaten?" Pointing at the thermos on the bedside table with his right hand, he continued, "Celine made this soup. It's very delicious. Do you want some?"

Knowing that Eric's injury was not that serious, Rachel just stared at him. Really, there was no need for Celine to feed him.

Seeing Rachel glared at him, Eric withdrew his hand awkwardly and giggled.

Sitting on the stool beside the bed, Celine greeted Rachel with a smile, "Miss Shen."

"Why are you here?" Rachel asked, fixing her eyes on Celine.

Guessing that Celine had just gotten off work now, Rachel wondered how she could cook some soup and brought it here in such a short time. 'What was her intention?'

"Eric was injured because of me yesterday. I believe I should take care of him,"

Celine replied, standing up to start packing up the lunch box. Once again, Rachel looked at Celine wearing a business suit. She concluded that Celine came from work.

"Thank you, Miss Duan. He is fine now."

Rachel did not have any intention of getting close with Celine.

She was Jack's wife, while Celine was Jack's dream girl. Rachel's impression of Celine was bad, and she thought it was better to stay away from her. All she could do was pretend to be polite to Celine.

However, she was puzzled by Celine's actions today. Celine should avoid her because of her relationship with Jack. Moreover, if Celine thought it was not Eric's fault, why didn't she do anything to save him last night? Why did she act like that?

Calmly, Rachel walked past Celine towards Eric.

That was when she saw the two men in black suits standing in the room. Her attention was only focused on Celine that she failed to see her surroundings.

It was impossible not to notice them. Though they looked ordinary, no one would wear a suit in a hot day. They just followed Celine without saying anything.

Thinking that they might be sent by Jack, Rachel thought he was afraid that something bad would happen to Celine again.

Not caring whether Eric had finished his meal or not, Rachel moved the lunch box and the thermos aside, picked up Eric's hand and started removing the bandage to check his injury.

Knowing clearly that Rachel didn't want him to have any contact with Celine, Eric kept his mouth shut and obediently extended his hand.

Feeling the intense atmosphere, Celine decided not to stay long and left.

When Celine left, Eric became quite upset. His

intention was to spend more time with her, but Rachel ruined his plan.

On the other hand, Rachel didn't care at all what Eric thought of her. She knew that Eric would definitely get hurt again if the two bodyguards would tell Jack what Celine had done.

Nobody could predict what Jack would do.

The next day, Rachel decided to come to work early. Although she had chased Celine away yesterday, she thought Celine might come again.

As expected, Celine visited Eric again.

Obviously, Celine didn't expect that Rachel was here. Her face changed when she saw Rachel, but finally she just smiled stiffly. Celine came in with a thermos. "I made too much soup. So, I brought some for Eric."

Face turning cold, Rachel put down the medicine, stood up and said to Celine, "Please, follow me."

Placing the thermos on the table, Celine gave Eric a hard look.

"Rachel..." Eric wanted to say something, but stopped when he saw Rachel's cold look.

Celine went out after Rachel.

Outside, Rachel saw the two bodyguards. But neither acknowledged her and remained expressionless.

Without looking at her surroundings, Rachel continued to walk into her office.

To assure the bodyguards, she didn't close her

office door.

The bodyguards guarded the door and said nothing.

Looking at Celine today, Rachel noticed that she was wearing a dress, and her face was a little bit pale. Because of her makeup and dress, Celine looked better than before. She had a bright face and decent smile, which was indeed special compared to ordinary people.

From the way she dressed, Rachel knew that the woman in front of her absolutely knew herself of her wants and needs. Rachel was certain that Celine was playing hard-to-get with Jack.

Truth be told, Celine was scared of Rachel. But since she dared to come again today, she mentally prepared herself.

After a while, Rachel spoke. "Miss Duan, look at you."

"Is there anything wrong with my outfit?" After all, Rachel looked longer at her which made Celine think of her dress. She dressed up on purpose today.

"You are pretty, with a good educational background and a nice job. Why are you bugging Eric?"

Celine replied, "Miss Shen, you misunderstood.

I am..."

Interrupting her, Rachel continued, "As for me, I am just an ordinary doctor. I am not as good as you. I'm dull and not good in socializing. You don't need to do anything. Jack is already under your control."

"Again, Miss Shen, you misunderstood me. I have nothing to do with Jack," Celine snapped at Rachel.

"Then, why don't you call me Mrs. Fu?" Her aura changing, Rachel's tone was cold as ice and her eyes as sharp as sword.

"You've been visiting Eric these days. I bet you are doing this just to test Jack, aren't you? You want to know who between us is more important in Jack's heart."

Rachel's voice turned lower until it became like a ghost whispering into Celine's heart.

"Let me be clear. If something happens to Eric, I will hold you responsible and you won't be able to escape."

Whether it was because of Rachel's tone becoming too aggressive or Rachel reading her mind, Celine's face turned pale, and her body became stiff.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. The temperature suddenly dropped.

Looking at Celine, Rachel was about to ask her out for it was time for her to go back to work.

To her surprise, when Rachel turned around, she saw that behind her stood Jack and next to him were Michael and Marcus.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
