Chapter 9


    In the end, Rachel and Jack parted in discord.


    After returning to her office, Rachel nned to find another apartment for Eric, one that was much


    closer to the hospital so that she could help him in case something bad happened.


    ''Anyway, Eric is my cousin! I don''t think Celine would dare to set him up with me keeping an eye on


    him!'' she thought.


    She called one of her friends and asked him to find a new apartment for Eric.


    After she hung up the phone, she went toplete the discharging formalities for Eric.


    Then, she went to his ward.


    Eric was sitting on the bed and feeling bored. As soon as he saw Rachel walk in, he asked,


    "Rachel, where have you been? Where is Celine?"

    Seeing Eric''s careful expression, Rachel suddenly felt helpless. Eric knew very well that she didn''t


    want to hear him mention Celine, but he really couldn''t help inquiring about her whereabouts.


    Who could she me? Eric was acting like a child now. Both Jack and Eric were selfish when it


    came to Celine and didn''t care about others'' feelings.


    "You can leave the hospital soon," Rachel said coldly.


    "Really?" Eric couldn''t believe his ears. He felt ■3


    bored out of his mind after staying in the ward all these days.


    "Eric, I warned youst time. Stop seeing Celine. Otherwise, I won''t be able to save you the next


    time Jackes for you," Rachel said seriously.


    "That''s between me and Celine. I like her, and she''s willing toe here to see me. It''s none of


    Jack''s business," Eric retorted. He believed that Jack was just bullying everyone because of his


    power. Anyway,st time, he had just made a mistake because of his carelessness. Now that he


    was seeing Celine seriously, there was no reason for Jack to step in.


    Moreover, Jack was a scumbag. He was married to Rachel, and yet he was brazenly pursuing


    Celine in front of so many people. Eric just couldn''t understand why Rachel would marry such a


    man. "Jack is not a good person. He doesn''t respect you at all! You should divorce him."


    Rachel had been trying to get Eric to forget about Celine, but she had never expected that he would


    start talking about her marriage to Jack instead. "What do you know? You''re just a kid. Don''t talk


    nonsense." She had her own reasons to get married to Jack. It was not easy to exin their


    rtionship to someone else.


    "I don''t understand. You two don''t look like a couple at all. Besides, I''m already over twenty! I''m not


    a kid.


    Did he force you to marry him? Is he unwilling to give you a divorce now?" ■3


    Rachel had been brought up by the members of the Fu family, who had always seemed to be kind


    to her. However, Jack, who had no feelings for her, had insisted on getting married to her, and it had


    completely ruined her life. It turned out that the Fu family were not kind after all.


    Anyway, she was surprised that Eric had been able to almost guess the truth. If he went to see Jack


    to fight over this issue, it would onlyplicate matters.


    "You just need to take care of yourself. You can''t even protect yourself now. Why are you getting


    involved in my affairs? When are you going to focus on your work? One day, you''ll see Celine''s true


    colors. That''s the day you''ll actually grow up," Rachel said with a scoff.


    She checked the wounds on Eric''s hands again and found that they had almost healed. He just


    needed to continue applying medicine on time every day.


    "I''ll get you discharged from the hospital soon. I''ve found an apartment for you. From now on, you


    can live there."


    "What?" Eric frowned. In his eyes, Rachel must have found him a new ce so that she could keep


    an eye on him there. "I like living in the dormitory of thepany now. I..."


    "Don''t worry. I will pay half the rent."


    Eric had wanted to tell her that he wouldn''t be able to pay the rent as an excuse, but Rachel had cut


    in before he could finish his words. He had no choice but to shut his mouth and pretend to be ■3


    obedient.


    "Have a good rest. I''ll get you discharged soon," Rachel said again. Then, she walked out of the


    room as she didn''t want to continue this conversation anymore.


    The truth of her marriage with Jack was so absurd that no one would believe it. If Eric found out, he


    would make a scene. Rachel had been able to tell from his words that he didn''t like the Fu family.


    As Eric watched Rachel walk out of the room, he felt that there must be something wrong between


    her and Jack. Jack was such a ruthless man that perhaps he had threatened Rachel into staying


    with him.


    Eric vowed to himself that one day, he would figure out everything about the Fu family. When that


    time came, he would not let go of Jack.
