Chapter 74 Rachel Is Back


    Gary didn''t know Charles was in the hospital as Autumn and Chris decided not to tell him for now. He


    assumed that Charles was away on a business trip.


    Charles was expected to be discharged from the hospital today after he had stayed there for a week.


    Gary would find out that he was injured once he was back home.


    Autumn went toplete the discharge formalities early in the morning. Charles, on the other hand,


    was packing his clothes. When he heard the door behind his back open, he casually offered, "Let''s


    have lunch outside with grandpa today, so you don''t have to cook."


    However, no one responded. Charles turned around and saw Rachel standing at the door. She had


    mixed feelings on her face.


    Charles''s smile vanished. He asked Rachel in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"


    After Charles broke up with Rachel, she went abroad and remained busy with work. She refrained


    herself from contacting Charles all this while. She believed that they needed some time away from


    each other for things to cool down between them. Moreover, she hoped that Charles would forget


    whatever she had done in the past and forgive her.


    As soon as Rachel came back, she grabbed David for Charles''s information. When she heard Charles


    was injured, she immediately came over here.


    "Charles, what happened to you?" Rachel cried dramatically. Charles had four stitches on his head, but


    they were covered with a gauze. It didn''t look very serious.


    Charles was a little disgusted with Rachel''s reaction.


    Rachel stretched out her hand carefully as she wanted tofort Charles. But before she was able to


    touch him, he stopped her hand.


    Charles stepped back and looked at Rachel with a frown.


    Autumn might be back any minute. He didn''t want Autumn to misunderstand him.


    "What are you doing here?" Impatient, Charles asked again.


    "When I got off the ne, I heard you were in the hospital. So I came here. Are you alright?" Rachel


    spoke to Charles with a caring expression, "Charles, let me have a look at you. Is it serious?"


    Charles furrowed his brow. He spoke to Rachel indifferently, "I''m okay. Don''t worry. You can go back


    now!"


    There were many people in the hospital. Rachel was a known celebrity. If anyone found out she was


    here, Rachel might get into trouble.


    "Do you hate to see me like this?" Rachel''s heart was crushed. "Charles, I dared not bother you all


    these days. I knew I did something wrong and you were angry at me. But it is all in the past. You must


    have cooled down now. Please forgive me, okay?"


    "Miss Bai..." Charles frowned as he stated, "I''ve made myself clear. If you are here to visit me, I would


    like to thank you for that. You should leave now. It''s not safe for you to stay here."


    Rachel was delighted by Charles''s sudden care. "I know you care about me. Charles, I love you so


    much. Please, don''t leave me."


    Rachel stepped forward and held Charles by the waist. "Charles, I''ve been missing you so much these


    days. Every time I close my eyes, I see your face. I''ve thought it all over carefully, and I just cannot


    forget you. Charles, let''s forget all the unhappy affairs and start afresh, okay?"


    Rachel held Charles''s waist tightly and continued, "Charles, I don''t expect you to marry me. All I want is


    for you to stay by my side. Trust me, Charles."


    "Rachel, stop talking nonsense!" Charles tried to push Rachel away, but failed.


    Just then, Autumn''s cheerful voice came from outside the door, "Charles, it''s all set. Let''s..."


    Autumn showed up at the door with many bills in her hand. She had stayed here for a week, and had


    been really worried for Charles all this while.


    Autumn had never dreamt that Charles Lu and Rachel Bai would hug each other like that. The bills in


    her hand fluttered on the floor. She was dumbfounded and stammered, "You... go ahead."


    Saying that, Autumn turned around and left. In the past few days, she thought she had taken Rachel''s


    ce in Charles''s heart. She didn''t think Charles would be a different person after Rachel came back.


    When Charles saw Autumn''s reaction, he was enraged. He angrily pushed Rachel away and ran swiftly


    to Autumn. He grabbed her arm and questioned her, "Are you going to flee again?"


    "I..." Autumn swallowed her bitterness, "I just don''t want to disturb you."


    Charles had a long face. Rachel gave a scornful smile. She stepped forward and held Charles''s arm.


    She looked at Autumn like a proud peacock and stated, "Well, you have a clear estimation of yourself.


    Get out of here! You are not wee. Charles and I haven''t seen each other for a long time, and we


    have endless whispers of love to share. What? Are you trying to eavesdrop?"


    Autumn''s face went pale. She heavily shook off Charles''s arm and said, "Let me go. I''m going home


    now. You bettere back home soon. Grandpa is waiting for you."


    "Stop!" Charles didn''t grab her again, but demanded in a stern voice, "Stand there, don''t move!"


    Charles didn''t quite understand why he was so mad at Autumn. Maybe it was because she hadn''t really


    trusted him in their rtionship.


    Charles sessfully scared Autumn. He then turned to Rachel and pushed her away. He stated


    calmly, "Rachel Bai, I loved you before. But I have made myself clear that we are done. Don''t you


    understand? "


    Charles continued with a frown, "If you don''t understand, let me repeat it for you, I don''t love you


    anymore. From now on, I don''t want to see you ever again. We can only be friends now. Got it? "

    Charles had said simr words to Rachel before, but there was no third party involved back then. It was


    the first time he said those words in front of Autumn. Rachel felt humiliated. She yelled, "Charles Lu,


    why are you being so hard on me? "


    Charles deliberately said that in front of Autumn. He hoped that at least after this she could trust him in


    the future.


    "I have told you, I will make it up to you." Charles was a man with a stone heart in front of ady he


    was not fond of. He didn''t care about Rachel''s feelings now.


    When Rachel was his girlfriend, he could do anything for her. But now... he was a different man. No


    wonder Rachel was unable to ept that.


    Charles stared indifferently at Rachel as if he was looking at a stranger.
