Chapter 252 A Strange Mother-in-law
Chapter 252 A Strange Mother-in-law
Rachel felt like she was in a strange place the moment she opened her eyes.
She was like the main character who had been rebirth in a parallel space.
Tracy had never been this protective and gentle to her in the past years that she had lived with the Fu family.
At first, she thought that she was only dreaming. However, she had proven that everything was real when she heard Tracy scolding the father and son, "What's wrong with you two? Why do you have to argue here? You are supposed to be taking care of Rachel."
Jonathan lowered his head in embarrassment. He then apologized to Rachel immediately, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. It's my fault."
Rachel's mouth curved into a smile. Seeing these people right now in front of her really made her happy. She replied, "No, you didn't disturb me. I still couldn't believe that you are all here."
The anesthesia was still taking effect in her body, so she seemed to have muddled thinking, but she looked cute. Bewilderment was written all over her face when she murmured, "Am I still dreaming?"
Jack, who was standing behind his parents, couldn't find a chance to squeeze in. Rachel rarely showed her innocent and soft side, so he was so anxious to sit on her bedside, comfort her, and kiss her hard.
But since his parents were all eager to take care of Rachel, all he could do was look at her. The tenderness in his heart seemed to have reached an extreme level at this moment. He wanted to find an excuse to send his parents away, but he couldn't think of anything.
Jonathan had come all the way here to see Rachel. Jack was certain that he wouldn't leave until he made sure that she was okay.
Jack was even more surprised by his mother's attitude towards Rachel.
There was no girl in their family, so he didn't know how a mother and daughter got along with each other. And since he was a man, he couldn't stay with his mother all the time.
Rachel grew up as an independent woman and a little distant, so he didn't think that Tracy had cared for her.
After all, Rachel was not her biological daughter.
She didn't like Rachel, but she tried her best to be nice to her.
His mother was obsessed with shopping, partying, and socializing with people in banquets. She was not the type of mother who would focus on her child.
Even to Jack, she seemed not involved. Most of the time, either his father or his grandfather had arranged and planned everything for him.
So seeing how his mother had treated Rachel as they grew up, he didn't feel anything unusual. In his eyes, it was only natural.
But this time, Jack had seen the big difference in his mother's attitude towards Rachel. She was like a real mother who truly loved her daughter.
Tracy had never been like this to her before. Jack could tell from Rachel's expression that she was extremely flattered. Perhaps, this was all beyond her expectations.
Tracy was now treating her like a completely different person.
Jack thought that she was exerting great efforts to change their relationship. Just like now, she was feeding Rachel porridge. This was something she had never done before.
It was pretty obvious that she didn't know how to take care of a person properly.
She was feeding Rachel spoonful of porridge in a hurry. And every time she fed her, she kept on asking whether it was hot or not.
She also asked her many times if how it tasted. Still feeling uneasy, Rachel just shook her head and answered, "No, it's not hot.
It tastes great."
On the other hand, Jonathan was happy that Tracy had volunteered to take care of Rachel.
He was glad that his wife was now willing to treat her well. But seeing how clumsy she was, he worried that Rachel's condition would get worse under her care.
However, he wouldn't want Tracy to feel embarrassed.
So he had to think of a way to convince her to hire a nurse without offending her.
Jonathan thought about it for a long while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. The best way to solve his problem was to let his son handle it.
Since he was Rachel's husband, Tracy would not feel bad if he wanted a professional to take care of his wife.
When Jonathan and Tracy had finally left, Jack heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, after being ignored for so long, he could now have the opportunity to be with his wife alone.
Rachel had been sleeping most of the time in these past two days. And every time she woke up, his mother would always be there. He couldn't get even the slightest chance to talk to his wife.
Sometimes, Tracy would push him aside, scolding him that he didn't take care of Rachel well enough.
He didn't know what he did wrong, but he could feel that his mother was somewhat disappointed in him.
Jonathan was almost the same. He also blamed him for allowing Rachel to go to a dangerous place that caused her to get seriously injured.
In short, Jack had the worst time in these two days.
While he was thinking of ways to change the situation, his father had fortunately given him this opportunity.
Before leaving, Jonathan had talked to him privately and explained his plan of hiring a private nurse. He thought about it for a while and figured out how to deal with his mom.
On her fourth night in the hospital, Rachel felt much better. Her dizziness in the past few days had finally disappeared.
The dull pain in the back of her head was also gradually fading away. Before, the pain gave her sleepless nights, and she could only fall asleep after taking a sleeping pill.
Since her condition got better, Rachel talked to her doctor and requested to remove the sleeping pills from the medicine that she was taking.
She wanted to fall asleep naturally, so she could also check the progress of her recovery.
During her four days in the hospital, Jonathan had hired a nurse to take care of her.
He actually wanted to hire more people, but Tracy opposed his idea. She personally chose a high- paying but very experienced and exquisite nurse to take care of Rachel.
And while the nurse was there, Tracy also spent her days in the hospital to supervise her.
Rachel couldn't figure out why her mother-in-law had personally taken care of her.
Tracy even planned to stay with her overnight today.
She could tell that her mother-in-law was really serious about taking care of her. Although she was clumsy at first, she tried her best to learn from the nurse's expertise.
It was Tracy's first time to take care of a patient, so it was understandable that she did poorly at first. Nevertheless, Rachel was still touched by all her efforts.
Rachel was still awake because she didn't take a sleeping pill.
She yawned a few times, but she still didn't feel sleepy. Looking at the floor blankly, she couldn't help remembering her childhood.
That time when she woke up and saw Jonathan and Tracy in front of her, she really thought that she went back to her childhood.
The couple was the first people she saw the moment she regained her consciousness after the car accident.
Rachel couldn't remember what exactly happened during the car accident.
When she opened her eyes, the Fu family were already standing in front of her.
She closed her eyes, and what her parents had said to her echoed in her ears.
Those old memories that she was trying to forget came back to her all of a sudden. Then some questions formed in her mind.
Before that accident, they were on their way to the Fu family residence.
She knew that they wouldn't go there to attend a party or a social gathering. Her father was in a hurry to see the Fu family for an important reason.
As far as she could remember, her father had had a favor to ask of the Fu family.
Her mother was also acting strangely at that time. She seemed to see a hint of resentment in her eyes.
However, Rachel wasn't sure if it was really a part of her memory or just one of her dreams.
