Chapter 73


    When the surgery was done, the nurse went out of the operating room to inform the family members


    of the patient.


    Rachel was still inside the operating room since she had just finished suturing, so she was a little


    frightened when the family members suddenly rushed inside.


    A middle-aged woman hugged her tightly and burst into tears. Rachel was in a cold sweat during


    the surgery so she felt a bit embarrassed.


    Actually, the woman just wanted to thank Rachel. She heaved a sigh of relief as her stiff body


    started to rx.


    Rachelforted the woman in a low and soft voice. She also smiled to the girl who had been


    standing beside her.


    A few momentster, Rachel found out that the man that she had operated was suffering from


    depression. He jumped off the building which caused him to be severely injured. Fortunately, he


    was out of danger now.


    While having their lunch, the doctors couldn''t help discussing the topic. "Why are there so many


    people jumping off buildings this month?" asked a doctor.


    Upon hearing the question, Rachel paused for a short while. But then, she didn''t say anything and


    just continued eating. ■d

    The conversation didn''t just end there. "By the way, do you remember that girl named Wendy who


    was sent here a few days ago? Does anyone of you know her story?" a nurse said.


    "I know who she is," said a nurse who was sitting in the corner. She lowered down her voice on


    purpose.


    Rachel was just listening to them quietly. Ninwell City wasn''t that big so the news could spread


    rapidly. And when it came to political matters, any news would definitely be sensational. The


    Wen family was one of the most famous families in the city and everyone knew them.


    When the Wen family was in trouble not long ago, the media started to make a big fuss over it. They


    not only revealed the reason why Cole was taken by the Committee of Discipline Inspection, but


    they also dug into the rtionship between Francis and Wendy. They even divulged the grudge


    between their families.


    Everyone knew who was behind all those news.


    Rachel hadn''t paid much attention to those news so she wasn''t well- informed and not very much


    updated. However, a few people around her were discussing it fiercely.


    Naturally, women loved gossip. And since one of the main characters on the news had died in their


    hospital, gossiping about it had be more normal.


    After all, this issue was also all over the social media. ■d


    When Wendy''s name was mentioned, Rachel almost choked. The food in her mouth suddenly


    became difficult to swallow. Wendy''s tearful eyes shed into her mind.


    Rachel lost her appetite so she decided to stop eating. When she was about to stand up, the doctor


    sitting next to her stopped her.


    Then they quickly changed the topic from Wendy to Mendes.


    It was very easy for women to switch topics whenever one of them became ufortable. As long


    as the topic wasn''t too sensitive, discussing about it wasn''t a big deal.


    Actually, they all knew why Lucas was taking care of Mendes.


    It was like one of their colleagues had adopted a feral cat and everyone was curious about the


    current situation of that feral cat.


    Rachel paused for a second and replied, "He is staying in my house now."


    "In your house?" asked one of them. "Is he alone? Your family is taking care of him, right?"


    Rachel was so amused by how the topic was changed all of a sudden. It seemed that she was now


    in the hot seat.


    "I haven''t heard much about you, Rachel. Where are you from?" one of the doctors asked.


    "I''m a local," she answered with a smile.


    "Do you have a boyfriend?"


    "I also want to know. I''ve never heard about it." ■d


    Rachel was speechless. She didn''t want to tell the others about her fake marriage.


    "I actually don''t want to talk about it. Anyway, my family is taking care of Mendes right now," she


    said decisively.


    "By the way, you are talking about something else just now, right? Why do you suddenly change the


    topic?"


    It had been a while since she sat with them although she wasn''t eating anymore. So after


    sessfully shifting the topic, she stood up and held her te in both hands.


    "I''m full now so I''ll go ahead. Enjoy your meal,," she said.


    Rachel found out that she wouldn''t be able toe home early today. Since she was worried about


    Mendes, she called Lea who was currently taking care of him.


    At that moment, Lea took Mendes outside for dinner. Unlike Rachel, she didn''t know how to cook so


    she could only bring Mendes to a restaurant.


    As a stewardess, Lea must maintain a pretty face and a good body shape so she paid more


    attention to her diet all the time.


    However, the wimpy kid wanted to eat a hamburger. She hesitated for a while, but because Mendes


    was such a sweet boy, she eventually gave in to his request. They had already finished ordering


    when her phone rang.


    "What are you guys doing?" asked Rachel immediately. ■d


    ncing at the hamburgers in their tray, Lea suddenly felt guilty. She couldn''t answer Rachel''s


    question. "We...uhm...we are..." she stuttered.


    "What?" Rachel asked again.


    This time her voice sounded impatient. "We are outside."


    "Outside?" Rachel couldn''t help frowning. She suddenly felt anxious. Something bad might happen


    to them even in just a short time so she was worried. Besides, Lea stammered when answering her


    question just now.


    "Why are you so hesitant to tell me? What are you doing?"


    Lea closed her eyes and answered, "We are out for dinner. We are going to have hamburgers


    tonight."


    Rachel was speechless but she felt relieved. "You scared me. Why do you have to falter when I


    asked you?"


    She knew that Lea wouldn''t let Mendes stay outside for a long time.


    "Don''t let him eat that kind of food again. You know it''s not healthy. By the way, I''ll be homete


    because I still have some things to deal with at work. If Lucas goes there, just give him Mendes''


    stuff. I have already packed everything. It''s in my room," she added.


    "Okay, I got it," Lea answered with a nod before hanging up.


    She was about to go off duty when Jack called. He offered to pick her up from the hospital. ■d


    Jack thought that it was more sincere if he personally went to the hospital for her.


    After he made a promise, his father had actually introduced awyer to them. He said that the


    lawyer would help them with the case.


    Jack didn''t know what his father was up to this time so he must watch over him carefully.


    Although he and Rachel had promised to divorce, it couldn''t be considered legal unless it became


    official.


    Whether his father was hiding something, Jack needed to find out sooner.


    This time, Jack didn''t wait at the parking lot. His tall and eye-catching Land Rover parked at the


    gate of the hospital.


    After Jack''s call, Rachel packed her belongings in no hurry. She then went out of the hospital with


    Mindy and Cara.


    When she was already outside, she took out her phone and called Jack.


    "Where are you?" she asked as soon as Jack answered her call.


    "In front of the hospital gate." Rachel could hear the car''s engine over the phone. She turned to look


    at the gate.


    She saw Jack''s ck car slowly approaching her. It was beeping cautiously to warn some


    passersby.


    "I can see where you are. Just stay there," she heard Jack''s voice on the phone. ■d


    "Okay," she answered obediently.


    Other doctors had also joined them outside of the hospital and all of them were talking about dinner.


    "Rachel, will you join us for dinner tonight?" asked Cara.


    Rachel put her phone in her pocket and answered apologetically, "I''m so sorry, but I have other


    ns tonight. Maybe next time."


    "Is something wrong? Maybe I can help," offered Cara sincerely.


    "No, I''m fine. Just some personal stuff," she replied. "Oh, alright. You take care. We''ll have dinner


    next time," said Cara before urging the others to take their leave.


    "Sure. Have fun." Rachel then turned around and walked towards the Land Rover. When Cara and


    the other doctors were walking towards the gate, one of them suddenly whispered, "Did Rachel buy


    a new car?"


    They all stopped and turned around. That time, Rachel was already getting in the Land Rover.


    "I think she has really changed her car," said Mindy. "Well, she is very rich. Actually, the apartment


    she asked me to find for her cousin really costs a fortune."


    "Really? Then why is she renting an apartment?" asked one doctor curiously. Cara suddenly


    interrupted,


    "Rachel is from a well-off family."


    Rachel had already gotten in the car so it left. ■d


    Mindy asked, "That car costs more than one million dors, right?"


    What she said caught everyone''s attention. All of a sudden, they all got curious about Rachel.


    Some doctors in the hospital actually liked Rachel because she was pretty and good-tempered and


    had always kept a low profile.


    Cara nced at Mindy. Seeing that they had gotten more curious about Rachel, she thought it was


    time to reveal something.


    "Do you know the Fu family in this city?" she asked deliberately. "The Fu family who owns the MK


    Group?"


    "The superrich family?"


    They were all shocked that Cara suddenly mentioned that family.


    "Do you know that Rachel was abducted at the hospital a few days ago?" Cara asked again.


    Some of them knew about that incident but some didn''t. Flowever, since Cara seemed to say


    something interesting, they were all listening carefully.


    "The one who came to the hospital and solve the problem was Jack Fu, the president of MK Group.


    Didn''t you know?" Everyone looked at each other in shock.


    They were all specting that Rachel came from a notable family.


    Moreover, she seemed to be rted to the Fu family as well. The Fu family was more famous and


    one of the wealthiest. Jack Fu was even a famous business tycoon. "Is she Mr. Fu''s wife?"
