Chapter 321 Visit Jonathan And Tracy


    Jack frowned. Now, he was sure that he didn''t wrong Celine. This was all just her trick!


    Seeing that the man in front of him had gone silent, Eric felt strange. "Why did you ask?"


    "Did you tell Celine that you bought this for Rachel?" Jack wanted to get all the details before he could


    confront any one of them.


    Eric wrinkled his nose in disgust. "And how is that possible? I never had a word with her."


    He nced at his watch. Ten minutes had already gone by. "If it''s okay with you, I''ll be leaving now. I


    already got tickets to the movie, so I''m in a hurry."


    Jack nodded, but as Eric was about to walk out of the office, he suddenly asked, "Who did you go with


    to buy that ne?"


    "A friend," Eric replied sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.


    "Girlfriend?"


    "Not exactly, but she might be." He grinned. "I''m alreadyte. I''ll get going now."


    Zoe kept ncing at her watch every now and then. Her heart raced in her chest as the feeling of


    restlessness grew inside of her. At this point, she couldn''t even stay still.


    ''Jack''s smart. What if he already figured it out?''


    "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let''s go." Eric patted her on the shoulder. When he realized how her face


    had gone pale from his voice, he immediately apologized, "Crap, did I scare you?"


    She slowly rxed. "No. Did Mr. Fu ask you about work?"


    "No. It''s actually about the ne." He was a very straightforward person. Besides, he didn''t think


    there was anything wrong with telling her about it.


    "Oh, is there something wrong with the ne?"


    "Who knows?" Eric shrugged.


    Zoe didn''t continue. Although she rxed a bit, her mind was swimming with endless scenarios. She


    knew for a fact that Jack wouldn''t be able to sit still until he didn''t find the culprit.


    Autumn was alreadying in early. Trees on both sides of the streets were blooming as their leaves


    varied from different shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. The scenery looked like a canvas ready


    to be painted.

    On her way home, a smile slipped into Rachel''s lips as she appreciated the fragrant scent of fresh


    flowers.


    She had just finished her morning duty. When she came out of the hospital, she finally received a


    message from Lucas that said that he had finally found Iris. It seemed that everything was going all


    right on his boat.


    Since he sent her a message, she knew that he wasn''t angry at her anymore.


    Rachel felt less guilty over it now.


    "You''re back."


    Seeing that Rachel was standing by the gate of her vige, Jack quickly got out of the car and raced


    towards her.


    She gazed at him indifferently and was about to bypass him when he grabbed her arm.


    "Let me go," she said coldly.


    He tightened his grip. "Let me exin..."


    After knowing the entire story, he wanted to exin it all to Rachel.


    With Celine up to her old tricks again, he was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to give him a chance.


    He even drank some alcohol to help him regain his confidence before speaking to her.


    He had never expected that he''d get scared of confronting Rachel.


    Rachel waved her hand. "There''s no need to exin. It''s best that we don''t see each other anymore. I


    don''t want to be involved in your rtionship with Celine.


    Besides, we''ve already divorced."


    Pain shed in his eyes. "Rachel, you know that—"


    "Rachel!"


    Jack nced to whoever had called out her name. The next second, Rachel used this opportunity to


    break from his hold and walked to Bill. She held his arm and smiled sweetly. "Let''s go somewhere,


    okay?"


    Staring at their receding figures, Jack wanted to catch up to them, but it felt as if his two feet were


    nailed to the ground.


    His heart ached at the sight.


    The car drove down the broad road. ncing at the woman beside him, Bill asked lowly, "Where are


    we going?"


    "Wherever."


    She didn''t know where to go. All she wanted to do was get away from Jack.


    The moment she saw him, she knew that all of this was part of Celine''s plot.


    But she didn''t care. They were already divorced.


    She might as well use this opportunity to cut the rtionship that had never been there in the first


    ce.


    Rachel finally snapped out of it and pointed at the signs in front of her. "How about the park over


    there?" she suggested. "It says it''s newly renovated, so we can go have a look."


    The park at the center of the city had been there for more than thirty years. A lot of its infrastructures


    had lost its original appearance after being exposed to the wind and the sun for too long.


    This year, the government made sure to invest money into renovating the park. Now, it became even


    more beautiful and ssic.


    As she walked down the cobblestones, she nced at Bill. "When did youe back?"


    "Last night. I came backte. That''s why I didn''t tell you."


    Recalling what he had just seen, a trace of worry shed in his eyes. "You and—"


    Before he could even finish his question, Rachel quickly changed the topic. She pointed on the trees


    decorating their line of sight. "There are more and more osmanthus trees around the block. You know,


    osmanthus blossoms can used in making pastries."


    "Andy always makes pastries out of them." He smiled faintly.


    "I used to collect osmanthus blossoms, you know? But ever since I got to work, I never did it again."


    Rachel sighed. It seemed that the faster life was, the more she tended to ignore the little bits of


    happiness around them.


    Although the trees might look nothing much, they brought back a lot of childhood memories.


    As she walked around the park, Rachel found that the breakfast she had been holding had already


    gone cold. Sighing, she said her farewell to Bill and returned home.


    "I brought you a sandwich. Do you want to try it?"


    The next day, before Rachel could even enter her office, Celia''s voice echoed down the corridor.


    The entire department had been bustling ever since she started working here.


    "I already had breakfast."


    Celia pouted, motioning to her prodding belly. "I really can''t eat anymore." She sighed. "It''s going to be


    such a waste." She was about to throw it to the trash can when Rachel grabbed her arm.


    "You can eat itter. Why did you even buy that much?"


    Celia pouted. "Marcus was the one who bought it."


    A faint smile threaded across Rachel''s lips as she went back to her office. As soon as she sat down,


    she suddenly remembered about the case that the emergency department had requested. She forgot


    all about it.


    She walked out of the office. "Celia, are you free?"


    As soon as she walked out, she could see that the woman had crumbs all over her mouth. It seemed


    that Celia wasn''t that full at all. Rachel burst intoughter. "Forget it. I''ll do it."


    Rachel had nned to ask her to go to the emergency department to pick up some documents, but


    now, it seemed that she had to go by herself.


    When she arrived at the emergency department, she was quickly informed that the doctor she was


    looking for was on duty in the outpatient department today. This was why Rachel decided to look for


    him there. What she didn''t expect was to run into another familiar figure.


    Jonathan had been suffering from a cold these past two days, and his throat was aching. He decided to


    go to the hospital today to get it checked.


    He had just finished his examination when he saw her pass by. "Rachel?" he called out uncertainly.


    It never urred to Rachel that she would see him here. "Uncle Jonathan, why are you here?"


    He waved his hand and felt disappointed upon hearing that. "I caught a cold, nothing serious. When did


    youe back? Why wasn''t I informed?"


    Rachel helped him sit down. "I was supposed to visit you in two days," she admitted. "I didn''t expect to


    see you here."


    "Well, my health isn''t as good as it used to be. You''ve been gone for three years." Although he


    chuckled, one could hear the sadnessced in his voice.


    She lowered her gaze.


    "It''s no matter. I''m d you''re back. Why don''t youe for dinner once you''re free? Tracy and I miss


    you a lot."


    "I will." Rachel nced at the bill in Jonathan''s hand and took it. "Rest here. I''ll pay the bill and give you


    the medicine."


    "Okay."


    Jonathan didn''t refuse. As she stood behind the line, he took out his phone and dialed Jack''s number.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that Rachel''s back?" he demanded.


    Two dayster, Rachel received a call from Jonathan. She didn''t think that he would really ask her to


    come and have dinner with them. She thought they were all just polite formalities.


    She got off work early that day. She rushed home, changed her clothes, and headed to the mall.


    She was conflicted.


    Although she wanted to visit Jonathan and Tracy, she felt it awkward since she and Jack had divorced.


    She quickly walked into a clothing store and bought two cashmere sweaters for each of them. Then


    she set out to the Fu family house.


    "Youe back, Mrs. Fu."


    Julie, the maid in the house, took her hand and smiled. There were more wrinkles around her face, but


    the kindness in her eyes hadn''t changed.


    Rachel hugged her and said softly, "Just call me Rachel."
