Chapter 387 She Lost Her Memory


    Jonathan sighed and stood up with the help of his walking stick. Letting out another sigh, this time


    louder, he said, "What is it you want to tell me? Let it out!"


    There was a pause after which Jack replied, "She has lost her memory."


    "What? Are you serious?" There was glimmer of hope in Jonathan''s eyes. He had nned to reveal


    everything. In fact, he was prepared to watch Rachel leave. But now, this incredible news given by


    Jack had changed everything.


    He couldn''t believe it.


    The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually subdued. He frowned and thought for a moment


    before asking slowly, "Are you sure? Is it confirmed?"


    Life had a tendency of taking people through unexpected twists.


    Jonathan wanted Jack to be cautious.


    Hearing the disbelief in his voice, Jack took out a document and ced it on the desk. "This is the


    investigation material. You can have a look."


    "Well, I will look at it. However, it''s quitete now. Rachel must be waiting for you," Jonathan replied.


    Tracy, who had fallen asleep, woke up. She stretched her hand to the side like she normally did but


    was stunned at finding it empty.


    She sat up in a hurry and nced at the clock on the side. It was three o''clock in the morning, but


    Jonathan hadn''te to sleep yet. Sometimes he behaved like a kid! She was


    furious. "What time is it? How old do you think you are? It is high time you stopped acting like a


    twenty-year-old young man!"


    she said angrily as she entered the study. Her fury was such that she hadn''t even bothered to check


    who was sitting in the study at this


    moment.


    It was not until she had uttered these spiteful words she noticed Jack''s presence. He was


    sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile.


    She raised her hand and smoothed her hair


    awkwardly. "Why are you here during this hour?"


    "I had some urgent business with Dad. I am done though. You can take him back to sleep."


    Jack left the Fu family with a smile stered on his face. It was raining and quite windy but he was


    unperturbed by the weather. Once he was home, he looked at Rachel who was sleeping peacefully.


    Slowly, he whispered, "Rachel, I hope you won''t me me for any of it in the future." Rachel had no


    idea he had been out. In this sleepy state, she smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck.


    When she woke upter, she looked at the man lying beside her and smiled happily.


    After freshening up, changing clothes and dealing with everything, Jack came out of his bedroom.


    Rachel was busy in the kitchen and he hugged her from behind.


    Rachel shrugged her shoulders and said, "Your beard hurts. Go shave ande."


    "Later." His voice was deep and husky, containing a trace ofziness and sexiness.


    With a sigh, Rachel let him do as he pleased. Once everything was ready, she patted on his face


    and her expression changed. His temperature was quite high. "Do you have a fever?"


    "No, I''m fine." Jack loosened his grasp over her. But he wouldn''t admit he was ill.


    She went forward and grabbed his arm. Standing on tiptoe, she felt the temperature on his


    forehead. "You are burning! How can you say you are fine?" she asked in an admonishing tone.


    After turning off the stove, she went to her room and got hold of their thermometer. It turned out his


    temperature was forty degrees Celsius! She started to be extremely concerned. "Go back to


    your room and lie down. I''ll go to the pharmacy and bring some antipyretics for you."


    "Don''t we have it at home?" Jack said pointing to the drawer under the TV cab.


    She shook her said and told him to remain there while she was out. "Don''t you dare get up!" she


    warned before she disappeared out of his sight.


    Her anxiety was so intense she forgot to change her slippers and ended up going out in them.


    It was quite early in the morning so she had expected the drug stores outside themunity to be


    free of people. To her utter surprise, it was bustling. The cold streamst night had made several


    people sick.


    One by one, they were wearing masks and waiting in line.


    "Miss, what do you want to buy?" asked the saledy of the pharmacy.


    Turning her head to take a look, she smiled and said, "Antipyretics."


    "You should take this one. It''s very effective in bringing down the fever." The saleswoman picked up


    one box and ced it before Rachel.


    "No, this is not what I am looking for," Rachel said firmly. Being a doctor, she knew the medicine


    Jack needed. With a smile on her lips, Rachel raised her hand to reach for another box of


    antipyretics on the counter. However, someone grabbed it before she could. Looking at the counter,


    Rachel slightly frowned and said, "Is that all?" Thedy nodded her head and said, "Yes, we have


    run out of it."


    "Okay then." Since Rachel was out of choice, she decided to settle for the one thedy had shown.


    But to her surprise, her hand was grabbed by someone, and the box of antipyretics was ced on


    her palm.


    Before she could nce at his face, she heard him say, "Here you are!"


    Turning her head to look at him, Rachel asked in disbelief, "Lucas, when did youe back?"


    "A few days ago. I was about to call you but I didn''t expect to meet you here. What a pleasant


    surprise!" Lucas looked at her from head to toe. She seemed okay. "Do you have fever?"


    "Oh no, I am okay. I am getting these for Jack." She frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"


    Being a doctor, Rachel was able to make out if someone was sick quite easily. Plus the faint flush


    on Lucas'' face made her almost certain he was indeed sick.


    Sure enough, Lucas chuckled and said, "I caught a cold two days ago which turned into a few


    yesterday. So yes, I came to buy some medicine for myself."


    With a concerned look, Rachel said, "Do live here?" "Yup." Lucas pointed his finger towards a


    direction and said, "There is amunity ahead. I live there with Iris."


    "That''s good."


    They were so immersed in their talks, they forgot where they were. The saleswoman turned her


    head and looked at them. She put a box of antipyretics in Lucas'' hand and said hurriedly, "Take your


    time, please."


    When she realized what had happened, Rachel quickly looked at her watch and smiled


    apologetically at Lucas. "Lucas, I have to go back now. Call me when you have time."


    "Okay, you can leave now. I''ll pay then."


    Hearing this, Rachel realized that she was in such a hurry that she left her wallet back home. She


    quickly epted his offer to pay and said, "That''s very kind of you."


    When Jack was about to doze off, he heard the sound of the door opening. He didn''t want to worry


    Rachel so he tried to seem cheerful. But truth be told, he was feeling quite ill.


    With the medicine in one hand and a cup of warm water in the other, Rachel sat on the bed. "How


    did you end up with a fever?" she asked. From what she knew, he hadn''t been out in the bad


    weather.


    "You were quite selfishst night. You took the whole quilt." Jack looked up, took the tablet and


    handed the ss back to her again. She was starting to frown.


    Taking his words seriously, she looked at him apologetically. "If that''s the case, I will take out


    another quilt from the cab tonight. That way, you can sleep peacefully."


    "Silly girl, did you actually believe me?" Jack poked her forehead. "It was a joke. However, I am


    feeling much better now. You should go to work."


    Deep down, he was worried she would learn what happenedst night. He had been quite careless,


    walking in the rain without a jacket or an umbre. This exined the fever.


    Anyway, he was determined to keep yesterday''s rendezvous with his father a secret from Rachel.

    With a bit of hesitancy, Rachel asked, "Are you sure you don''t mind staying here alone? I can ask


    for leave."


    "No, thanks. My fever is very mild and I can fend for myself." Jokingly, Jack pushed her away.


    Rachel hesitated for a few seconds and said, "If you feel any sort of difort, remember to call


    me."


    "Got it!"


    Jack waved his hand and rxed when he heard the door being closed. He waited for a few


    minutes. But when he was certain she had gone, he took out his phone and called Austin. "Come to


    my house right now," he said.


    When she arrived at the hospital, Rachel nced at her watch and realized she was alreadyte.


    She quickened her pace. Celia regained her usual liveliness and winked at Rachel as soon as she


    saw her. "Hey, Rachel, why are youte? Did Jack keep you busy? Ahem..."


    She was teasing Rachel.


    Watching this, Rachel turned crimson red. Moving forward, she poked Celia''s forehead and said,


    "Did you learn all this from Marcus? From what I remember, Celia was an innocent girl!"


    "No, don''t me Marcus,"


    Celia said, defending her lover. "It''s Lea who taught me this."


    Something urred to Celia all of a sudden. Pulling Rachel''s arm, she pointed to the office beside


    the corridor and said, "Rachel, Lucas came back this morning."


    "Yes, I am aware," replied Rachel calmly.


    Celia looked at Rachel, wondering how she had known. "How? I thought you would be surprised!


    "I would have been if I hadn''t known it already."


    As soon as she finished her words, Rachel saw Lucas walking out of his office. They looked at each


    other and Rachel walked towards him with a smile. "Why are you working today? You should have


    taken rest."


    Lucas shook his head and exined, "I am not here to work. I came here to resign."


    "Resign?" Rachel was taken aback by his words.


    Lucas rarely saw Rachel reveal her true feelings. However, her sadness was clearly evident at the


    moment. He couldn''t help but raise his hand and caress her forehead. "Iris is pregnant. We think the


    air and environment abroad will be much more suitable for the baby. We will be gone for a while."


    His exnation made her even sadder.


    But soon she realized they were doing it for a better life. She couldn''t be angry about it. shing a


    smile, she said sincerely,


    "Congrattions, Lucas. The little baby is lucky to have parents like you. You both are going to


    make the baby really happy."


    Returning the smile, Lucas leaned back and said, "You''re getting more and more eloquent. Even


    though I am away, you have to be in touch, okay? Don''t hesitate to call me if you need anything.


    Distance shouldn''t damage our beautiful


    friendship."


    Lucas was like her brother. Her eyes welled up with tears.


    She lowered her head to hide her emotions. "Lucas, why does it sound like you won''te back?"


    Lucas chuckled and said, "We may note back. Moreover, after Father retires, they too will join


    us here." He picked the teacup from the table, moistened his throat, and continued, "Sometime in


    the future, I am hoping you wille there with Jack and your child."


    "Stop it, Lucas. Don''t be so touchy." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting quite serious, Rachel


    tried to ease it off.


    Lucas didn''t reply immediately since he was sorting out the items in the drawer. Soon, his staff


    announced the paper works were done. His time here was almost over.
