My Mute Bride Chapter 379
Chapter 379 Notice of Critical Illness
“I’ll do it.” Julian said, his eyes firm. Rachel was taken aback. For some reason, she thought about the
piece of torn medical record on the table. Soon, Jolly came back.
“I won’t be tagging along. I’m not rted to Old Mr. Burton anyway. I’ll just wait for you here with
Samuel.” “Okay.”
However, Charlotte was puzzled. She looked at Samuel who was ying games next to Jolly and
asked, “Mommy, why isn’t Samuel going to see Great-grandpa?”
Rachel exined, “Samuel is different from you. He’s never seen Great-grandpa.”
As Charlotte was still young, she didn’t think much about it and obediently followed after Rachel.
Arthur had now been transferred to a general ward, but he wasn’t awake yet. A nurse took care of him
at all times, and the rules were still the same—no one could visit him except the hospital staff.
Julian said, “Although he is unconscious, in theory, he can hear people’s voices.”
Rachel nodded slightly and patted Charlotte on the shoulder, motioning her to step forward. “Charlotte,
go and talk to Great-grandpa.”
Charlotte stepped forward obediently and took Arthur’s bony hand, speaking in a cute voice. “Great-
grandpa, are you sick? If you’re sick, you have to listen to the doctor to take your medicine and eat
your food. Mommy said you’ll only get better if you behave. I’m still waiting for you to celebrate my
birthday with me…”
Charlotte was still young and didn’t understand the truth of life, old age, illness, and death. Hence, she
didn’t feel sad when she saw Arthur lying in the hospital bed and only thought that his illness was just
like amon cold or a fever, not realizing the seriousness of the problem.
As Rachel looked at Arthur, her heart swelled with emotion. He was regarded as a legendary hero, but
now he was lying here and could pass at any time without a single rtive by his side.
After they were done visiting Arthur, Rachel bid Julian goodbye.
“I’ll contact Janiceter, within these two days.”
“Okay. I’ll take care of the hospital’s matters.”
Seeing Julian’sck of hesitation, Rachel felt a huge burden lifted off her shoulders.
As soon as Rachel left, Julian returned to his office and sat down. He opened the book that was upside
down on the table and put it aside. The scratch on the medical records was particrly clear. With a
tearing sound, his slender fingers ripped the two pieces of paper on it open and threw it into the trash
can without hesitation. Everyone should always leave a way out for themselves, right?
At the same time, more than 300 kilometers away from Riverdale, in a hotel room in Belleville, Justin
rubbed his sore shoulders and handed the documents in front of him to Frankie. “We’ll negotiate with
them tomorrow ording to this, and you can lower the price a little more. They haven’t made a solid
decision yet.”
“Understood.”
“By the way, what did Robin’swyer say about the stock transfer?”
“What else can he say? He couldn’t be any happier, of course.” Frankie said angrily, “He was originally
only a shareholder proxy for Jason, but now that you’re willing to sell a part of the shares to him, he’ll
be a true shareholder. Aren’t you afraid that this will backfire on you? President Burton, please
reconsider this. Getting Robin’s help isn’t the only way to help President Hudson solve the
development site approval issue.”
“You don’t need to tell me more. Of course I know that there are other ways, but I’m not just transferring
the stocks just for that.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to add a use to the agreement. Starting from the transfer of shares, he can no longer use
any means to threaten or endanger any benefits rted to Rachel, or the shares transfer agreement
will be voided.”
“Are you trying to help President Hudsonpletely get rid of Robin?”
“She’s had a difficult life. She lost her parents at a young age, and now she has to take care of Hudson
Pharmaceuticals alone.”
“However, does President Hudson know that you’re doing this?”
“She doesn’t need to know. If she finds out, she won’t want to ept this favor.”
Saying that, Justin got up from behind his desk. His shoulders ached faintly and he couldn’t help but
move them around, causing his bones to make a cracking sound as if they had loosened.
“President Burton, you have to take care of your body as well. You don’t need to rush the negotiation
so much.”
“I want to finish this early. Grandpa is still waiting for me to go back.” Justin looked out the window, a
blurry outline of his cold face reflected on the ss as he said, “It’s gettingte. You should go back
and rest.”
“Understood. You should sleep early too.”
Three dayster, Hudson Pharmaceuticals sessfully obtained the approval for the continued
construction of the Nortne development site, and both Rachel and Jolly could finally breathe a sigh
of relief.
“Thank god it was resolved before that old coot held a meeting with the board of directors, or he
would’ve definitely never let go of this matter.” Jolly was ecstatic, and began to openlyin in
Rachel’s office, not caring if anyone was listening or not.
Rachel shot a nce at her. “Keep your voice down. We can’t just dismiss his pride so tantly.”
“What are you scared of? We’ve already given that old coot enough respect. He secretly colluded with
that brat Robin, and we’re already being benevolent by not reporting him to the board of directors.
Chris, if there’s a next time, don’t hold back anymore.”
“Of course.”
“Still, something’s weird. Why isn’t Robin chasing after us anymore?”
Rachel was calm in the face of Jolly’s doubts. “Maybe he’s lost interest in messing with us. After all,
he’s got tons of work lined up for him as the Burton Group’s president. Besides, Old Mr. Burton is now
in the hospital, so he would want to seize this opportunity.”
“To be brutally frank, if Old Mr. Burton really passed without leaving a will behind, wouldn’t Robin
be the chairman of Burton Group?”
“Yes. If there isn’t a will, the first heir to Old Mr. Burton’s shares would be Jason, and Robin is his only
proxy shareholder.”
“No wonder he’s been making a fuss at the hospital recently. I think he just wanted to know if Old Mr.
Burton had made a will.”
As they were talking, a secretary suddenly knocked on the door and entered. “President Hudson, Miss
Carter, do you need me to order a meal for you?”
Jolly nced at the time. “Oh, it’s gettingte. It’s time for us to get off work.”
Rachel instructed, “You don’t need to order anything for us. We’re not working overtime today. We’ll be
leaving soon, so you can get off work too.”
“All right.”
After the secretary left, Jolly rose from the sofa. “Let’s go home.”
“I still have some things to do. You can leave first.”
“Weren’t you not working overtime?”

“I’ll leave in a moment. You can go.”
“All right, all right. I’m not a match for workaholics like you.” Jolly picked up her handbag. “I’ll be going
first, okay?”
“Okay.”
Once Jolly had left, Rachel looked at the text message she had just received.
It was from Julian. The text message read, ‘I’ve already made the notice of critical illness and sent the
news out. If Robin can get in touch with Jason, he’ll definitely contact him immediately.’
She replied, ‘Got it.’
The investigation bureau would make their move that night with Julian’s cooperation from the inside.
Should everything go smoothly, they would be able to sessfully catch Jason.
On the other hand, Julian received a text as soon as he finished sending the news. He looked at the
sender—it was Sue. He tapped open the message unhurriedly.
‘Julian, what happened to Old Mr. Burton? I don’t really believe what Robin says.’
