My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 231 Return The Cellphone

Jack even denied that he was beaten by Baron in public because of Celine.

He couldn't accept the fact that because of Celine, he lost his temper.

While listening to Jack, Rachel suddenly felt that their breakfast was tasteless. She wished he didn't bother to explain anything.

On the other hand, Jack was expecting a response from Rachel after his explanation. Even just a smile from her would be enough.

But to his disappointment, her face remained expressionless.

He couldn't even tell if she was angry or she just didn't care at all.

This weird atmosphere between them had started since last night.

Jack didn't know what was going on. He was willing to explain, and Rachel was willing to listen.

Moreover, they didn't fight. However, it seemed that some problems were coming along their way. After breakfast, Rachel needed to go out, so she took out the medicine and gave Jack some instructions on how to apply it.

But when she was about to leave, Jack held her hand to stop her. He stared at her with his deep - set black eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm aching all over. Can you help me apply the medicine first before you leave?"

Instead of answering him, Rachel unlocked her phone and gestured for Jack to look at the screen. But he didn't get what she meant.

Seeing that Jack didn't understand her, she explained sternly, "Look at the time. I have an appointment with someone at half past nine. If I don't go now, I will be late."

Jack was held dumb for a few seconds upon hearing her explanation. He then frowned and asked tentatively, "Who are you going to meet? Don't you have work today?"

Rachel only said, "I'm going to the hospital."

She didn't tell him all the details. After pondering for a moment, Jack let go of her hand.

Then he said, "Take care."

Rachel was actually going to return Andy' phone today. Before going to the hospital, she thought of buying some fruits and flowers first.

She then called Andy to make sure that he was at the hospital. Bill had just woke up, so Andy couldn't talk to her longer on the phone. He just told her that they were already transferred to the fifteenth floor.

Rachel came out of the elevator with fruits and flowers in her hands. When she was in front of the door, she paused and looked at what she brought.

She wasn't sure if it was necessary to bring those stuff. After all, her main reason for coming here was to return Andy's mobile phone.

Rachel was about to knock on the door when she noticed that it was ajar.

She didn't mean to overhear the conversation inside.

"Oh my God! Leave me alone!" Bill sounded so terrified.

Andy comforted him, "Bill, please calm down. You will be fine once the toxin is gone."

"What poisoned me?"

"Well... you just had an allergic reaction. Don't be scared. You'll be okay soon."

After hesitating for a while,

Rachel raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The two men inside spoke at the same time. "Who's that?"

"Leave!"

Rachel replied softly, "Andy, it's me."

"On my way, Ms. Shen." Andy walked to the door hastily. He opened the door and said with a smile, "Hi, Ms. Shen!"

Seeing the happiness on Andy's face, Bill got confused, so he couldn't help asking, "Andy, who's that?"

As much as possible, he didn't want anyone else to see his face at this moment. Whoever their visitor was, he wanted to send them away immediately.

Andy turned to him and whispered, "She's the one who saved you yesterday. You should also thank her personally."

Bill was stunned. He didn't expect that his savior was a woman.

Yesterday, Bill did his best not to lose consciousness. Knowing that he was in danger, he struggled to go out of the room.

He saw someone passing by, but he was too weak to say a word.

Feeling like he was going to die any moment, he blocked the person he saw.

He was not sure if the passerby was a man or a woman, but he hoped that he or she would bring him to the hospital.

Now that his savior was here, he almost couldn't believe that she was a woman.

Bill wanted to thank Rachel immediately, but upon realizing how he looked like right now, he abruptly lay down and hid under the quilt.

His whole face was red and swollen because of the allergy.

Bill was good-looking, but unfortunately, his handsome face was now covered with red marks.

But since he was also curious, he peeped through the quilt and cautiously waited for her to come in.

What he saw first was the beautiful bouquet of flowers and a large basket of fruits.

Rachel was talking with Andy, so he got the chance to study her features. He looked down, and he saw her pair of white legs in a skirt.

As he gradually looked up, he saw her slender arms, slightly covered by the flowers.

His eyes went to her beautiful face. He saw that she had a pair of dark eyes with thick, long eyelashes. Her hair was straight and silky. She was wearing a sweet smile while talking with Andy. For a moment, Bill held his breath. He stared at Rachel unblinkingly.

A few moments later, Andy turned to Bill to introduce Rachel to him. But he was surprised to see that Bill was hiding under the quilt like a shy little boy.

'For Christ's sake!'

Andy was a little embarrassed that Bill acted like a child.

So he helplessly turned to Rachel and introduced him, "Ms. Shen, he is Bill Huo."

"Hello," Rachel greeted with a smile. She pretended not to see the embarrassment on Andy's face. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Bill wanted to come out of the quilt, but he was too shy to show his face.

He showed his hazel eyes and looked at Rachel. In a low voice, he replied shyly, "Hi!"

Andy, who still felt embarrassed, cleared his throat and coughed lightly. He then said, "Bill, it's time to get up."

Bill answered in a calm voice, "My waist aches. I can't get up."

His voice was a little stuffy since his mouth was under the quilt.

Rachel found him funny, since he was huddling himself like a little child.

'What is he doing?' Andy thought to himself.

He didn't expect that Bill would behave like this in front of Rachel.

Feeling helpless, he reminded Bill impatiently, "Bill, Ms. Shen was the one who saved you last night."

Bill's eyes lit when he heard what Andy said. He then said in a low voice, "Thank you for saving me. Please have a seat."

He gestured for Andy to get a chair for Rachel, but the latter seemed dissatisfied with his behavior.

"Bill, you should not be lying in bed while talking to our guest," Andy said seriously.

But Bill countered, "I'm a patient. I still need to stay in bed."

Listening to their conversation, Rachel couldn't help smiling. She agreed with Bill, so she said, "Bill is right, Andy. He is a patient, so he needs to rest. Anyway, my main purpose in coming here is to return your phone. Thanks for lending this to me."

She handed the phone to Andy with both hands. He took it quickly and said, "You're welcome. It's not a big deal at all. By the way, is everything alright?" Rachel was not in the mood to talk about what happened last night, so she just nodded and answered with a smile, "It's okay now."

"That's good." Andy felt relieved that everything was settled, but his expression changed in an instant. He said coldly, "Howard has never done something good. Wherever he is, trouble always happens."

Apparently,

Andy knew Howard so well,

and he never had a good impression on Howard.

Andy made a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Rachel. "Ms. Shen, please have some tea."

Rachel planned to leave immediately after returning the phone. But since Andy had made a cup of tea for her, she felt it was rude to refuse it.

Bill, who was still lying in bed, suddenly said, "I think it's not a good idea to speak ill of my father in front of me."

What he said surprised Rachel. She didn't expect that Bill was Howard's son because his surname was Huo and Howard's was Wu.

She felt like she heard something too personal. But the two men didn't seem to mind at all.

Andy snorted, "Humph! He just called me twice since you were sent to the hospital. Who would want a father like him?"

Rachel didn't expect to hear those words from Andy.

Her lips subconsciously curved into a faint smile, so she raised her cup to cover it up.

All of a sudden, Bill punched his bed with all his strength. Rachel and Andy were both shocked.

"What's wrong?" asked Andy, perplexity written all over his face.

"Where is Mark?" Bill asked, gnashing his teeth in anger.

"Why are you looking for him?"

"This is all his fault. It's him who did this to me. I almost died because of him."

Andy's face turned pale upon hearing what Bill said. He asked to confirm, "Do you mean you have an allergy because of Mark?"

Bill replied uncertainly, "He asked me to meet him there that night. But when I arrived, he wasn't there."

Since Mark didn't come, Bill drank alone. But a few minutes later, he felt something strange. Then he almost fainted.

At first, he thought that the wine that Mark reserved for him was just too strong. But it turned out there was something in the wine that triggered his allergy.

After listening to Bill's speculation, Andy said with a serious look on his face, "If Mark did this on purpose, we should have him investigated."

He then took out his phone and was about to dial Howard's number.

Rachel wasn't sure if she should leave. After all, this was their privacy.

Since Bill wasn't sure if Mark had something to do with what happened to him, and he didn't have enough evidence, he stopped Andy from calling Howard.

"Don't call him yet. We need to figure out things first."

He was so anxious that he already forgot about his ugly face as he sat up straight from the bed.

"You have nothing to worry about. After all, this incident happened in the Wu family. No matter what, it is Howard's responsibility to find the culprit who wants to kill his son," Andy retorted with a frown.
