    After the disappointment, Rachel very calmly discharged herself. As soon as she got home, she went


    directly into the bedroom, and opened the wardrobe.

    When she moved in with Keh, she didn''t bring a lot of things with her. Now, in less than half an


    hour, she packed all the things into two suitcases. However, some overcoats were too heavy, so she


    just threw them back into the wardrobe.


    Rachel looked at the apartment she and Keh had lived in, onest time. In dark corners only their


    shadows remained. She left the key on the shoe cab and left without any reminiscence.


    From the time when that woman picked up his phone, to seeing her with himst night, she should


    have known it. She tried to warm his heart for three years and failed, but it doesn’t mean other women


    can''t.


    Besides, this marriage was originally a mistake. Let her end it earlier!


    After leaving Keh’s apartment, Rachel dragged her things to her mother’s ce. She didn''t want to


    spend time with Keh, but in her current situation she couldn''t afford to go and stay at a hotel.


    Rachel rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one responded. She frowned and called her mother.


    The call was connected soon.


    Rachel could hear that the other ce was very noisy and couldn''t help asking, "Mom, are you not at


    home?"


    "Ah? No, I am not. I''m at the gym. " Her mother faltered for a moment and then stammered, "Rach!


    Sweety, Is it important? If not, I’ll call youter."


    Rachel didn''t believe her and took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, where are you exercising? I''lle


    there."


    "No! Don’te… It''s quite far away."


    As she was speaking, Rachel heard someone behind her shouting, "Heydy! The customers have left.


    Go clean up the table instead of talking on the phone."


    "Mom, I heard it all!" Rachel suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Tell me the address."


    Rachel left her suitcase with the tenants in the house opposite and handed them 500 yuan. She took a


    taxi and went to the restaurant where her mother said she was. When she walked in, she saw her


    mother bending over to clean a table.


    Theresa Moore, Rachel’s mother and the wife of the judge in N City, who had lived like a queen for


    most of her life, was now working as a waitress in a restaurant. Rachel’s throat closed up with emotion


    as she stood frozen in ce, “Mom!"


    "Rach! My baby!" Theresa felt a little embarrassed being seen by Rachel like this. She quickly cleaned


    up the table, asked the manager and took Rachel towards a corner.


    Rachel saw her left hand red and swollen. She grabbed her arm and asked, "What happened? Did you


    get injured?"


    "It''s nothing, just a burn."


    Theresa tried to cover it up, saying that she didn''t care. However, Rachel couldn’t help but drag her out


    of the restaurant and take a taxi to the hospital.


    Thankfully, her decision was correct. The doctor said that it was a high degree burn, it would have


    easily gotten infected if not treated properly.


    "Mom, why don’t you stay at home?" Rachel applied the medicine on Theresa’s wound, her voice was


    choked, "I can’t even afford my own mother’s living expenses."


    "I get bored at home. The restaurant pays good money, plus I don’t feel bored there."


    As she said this, she couldn’t help but cry, “If your father hadn''t done such a stupid thing, our family


    would still be happy now. Even if I am tired with worry all day, I still can’t sleep at night."


    "Quit this job. You can''t go there again. I''ll give you enough money." Rachel said, "No matter how low


    our family falls, I won''t let you suffer. I''ll find a way to deal with dad''s issue."


    "How will you carry such a heavy burden?" Theresa was relieved by her daughter''s thoughtfulness; but


    she wiped her tears thinking about the money. "Two million... Might as well let your father die in prison,


    it’s not our problem to worry about!"


    Rachel knows that her mother only said this because she’s angry with her father, in her heart she was


    still worried about him. "Mom, I promise I’ll borrow the money we need in time. Don''t worry so much."


    Theresa was from a wealthy family. She met Chapman when she was 18. She married him when she


    was 20 years old. After she gave birth to Rachel, she took care of her wholeheartedly. Her life


    depended on Chapman. When he was arrested, she didn’t know what to do, she was flustered.


    Fortunately, her daughter was calm and sensible enough.


    Seeing her daughter say so, Theresa nodded.


    After buying a week’s worth of medicine, Rachel left with her mother. As they exited the elevator,


    Rachel saw an unexpected scene in front of her.
