Chapter 394 Three Months Pregnant


    "Were your parents the cause of my parents'' death?" Finally, Rachel had asked it. How she wished


    that Jack would say they weren''t. She wanted to prove that her aunt was wrong. If he would say that


    his parents had nothing to do with her parents'' death and that he knew nothing about it, she''d still


    ept him. However, he froze and dodged this time. His eyes couldn''t deceive her. Although he


    didn''t say it, she could tell that he knew everything. But why didn''t he tell her? All of a sudden, his


    warm embrace felt disgusting, and his eyes that she trusted a lot looked so cold.


    Rachel didn''t want to stay with Jack any longer, so she broke free from his embrace. She loved him,


    and her heart ached when she heard him beg. But she couldn''t afford to see his face anymore.


    Before her heart could soften, she must stay away from him immediately.


    "We can''t continue the wedding anymore," she said before she walked away.


    "Please..." That was thest word she heard from him.


    Jack had begged her. He swallowed his pride and almost knelt down in front of her, but she still


    disappeared in his life in the end. She didn''t even say goodbye. He looked for her crazily. Even his


    friends were worried about him, so they supported him. He had asked all the people that Rachel


    knew, but he got nothing. Even Lea and Celia, who were her best friends, didn''t know her


    whereabouts. It seemed that she was really determined to vanish in his life forever.


    Rachel had actually gone to a city where no one knew her. She needed a ce away from


    everyone for her to calm down and learn to forget all the memories rted to Jack.


    Jack was in a noisy bar. He wanted to benumb himself with noise and alcohol, so he could not think


    about Rachel and how powerless his begging was. He drowned himself in alcohol every night. If he


    still couldn''t find Rachel, his life would probably be in danger. Michael and Marcus, who were really


    worried, stayed with him. They tried their best to convince him to stop drinking, but they failed. He


    even got worst. Now, he indulged himself in alcohol all day long.


    Rachel was also having the worst days of her life. She was in a strange city, where there was only


    loneliness around her in the empty room. She could never feel Jack''s warm embrace, and there


    would never be such a beautiful and homely ce again.


    She cried many times in her sleep and woke up in the middle of the night weeping, especially when


    she realized that she could only lean on the cold wall of her room, and not on his solid chest.


    Because of it, she started to hate evenings and sleeping.


    Gradually, she became weak. But one day, she came to her senses. She couldn''t continue living a


    life like this, so she cheered herself up. She walked downstairs and went to a restaurant across the


    street for breakfast.


    Since she decided to run away, she shouldn''t be depressed all along.


    With a smile, she pointed at the steaming buns on the tray. "Five steamed buns, please."


    "Okay." The owner''s bright voice resounded among the noisy crowd. She was wearing a faded


    apron that had been washed for no one could tell how many times. She picked up the steamed


    buns with tongs, put them in a te, and handed to Rachel. She then asked, "Is there anything else


    you want?"


    Rachel looked around. There were many customers in the restaurant and almost all of them had


    ordered steamed buns with a bowl of soybean milk or rice noodles.


    A bowl of meat soup and some rice noodles became an unexpected gourmet on the streets in


    winter.


    She used to love eating this kind of food when she was a child. But since she started working, and


    there were no restaurants in themunity where she lived that served breakfast, she hadn''t had


    this kind of breakfast for a long time. She pointed at the small pot on the furnace and replied,


    "Please give me a bowl of rice noodles."


    "Okay. Please look for a seat. I''ll just serve your order on your table."


    The owner quickly picked up a bowl and opened the lid of the pot. A gust of wind suddenly blew,


    and the air filled with the aroma of the meat soup.


    The smell was supposed to make people crave for it. However, it strangely caused an inexplicably


    burst of disgust in Rachel''s


    stomach.


    She put the steamed buns aside in a hurry, covered her mouth, and ran to the side of the road. After


    retching up several times, she finally felt much better.


    The female restaurant owner was stunned for a while but eventually smiled.


    "Are you okay, miss? I was actually like that when I was pregnant. I couldn''t smell the soup as it


    made me feel sick."


    "Pregnant?" Rachel asked absentmindedly.


    "Yes. How many months are you pregnant? You must take care of yourself during your pregnancy."


    Rachel waspletely stunned. For a moment, her mind went nk. Since she had lost her


    appetite, she just paid the bill and hailed a taxi to rush to the hospital. The restaurant owner was left


    with a slightly puzzled expression. She couldn''t understand why Rachel had suddenly lost her


    appetite and left with aplicated expression on her face.


    "Young people nowadays..." The restaurant owner could only click her tongue and shook her head.


    The restaurant was a little far from the hospital. Rachel did her best to calm down while in the taxi.


    Her period had always been irregr, so she didn''t pay much attention to this thing. Moreover, she


    had been preupied with so many happenings recently. She had no time to worry about her body.


    She had already prepared for the worst when she arrived at the hospital. As expected, she was


    pregnant.


    When the result came out, the doctor congratted her. "Congrattions! You are three months


    pregnant."


    She couldn''t deny the fact that she was happy. She was no longer alone. But thinking who the


    father of her child was, she somehow felt anxious. She was afraid that she might be unable to move


    on for a lifetime because of the child. This fact made her a little unhappy.


    The doctor patiently gave Rachel some advice and instructions. She repeatedly reminded her to


    keep away from stress and always maintain a good mood during her pregnancy. It was as if she


    could sense that Rachel was in an unfavorable situation at the moment.


    Although it was part of the doctor''s job, her concern still moved Rachel.


    All of a sudden, the sadness that she had been keeping in her heart spilled over. She cried in the


    hospital and swore to herself that she would give birth and raise her baby well.


    That evening, Jonathan was sitting in the living room. His gloomy face made him look much older in


    an instant.


    Tracy sat beside him, weeping and regretting. "I''ve already told you from the very start that they


    can''t get married. Look at what happened now."


    They didn''t only be aughingstock of the whole city, but Jack had also lost the motivation to


    live.


    He no longer went to thepany and just stayed in the bar day and night to get drunk.


    Hearing Tracy nagging, Jonathan got so angry that he knocked his walking stick heavily on the floor


    and shouted coldly, "Are you done? Now that things have happened, what do you want me to do?


    Can I turn back time and start it over?"


    "Yes, I want to start all these things over!" Tracy couldn''t stand it anymore. "If possible, I will not let


    that woman get close to Jack." "I can''t stand seeing you like this. Now that things have happened, I


    expect that you do something rather than sitting here all day long and daydreaming," Jonathan


    shouted angrily. "Do you think you make sense?"


    Tracy couldn''t hold back her tears anymore. "What can I do? Am I wrong when I say that she is to


    be med? It''s all because of her that Jack has be like this."


    "You..."


    "Mr. Fu! Mrs. Fu!" Jonathan was about to retort, but the maid''s voice interrupted him. As he turned


    to look at the door, he saw the maid struggling to carry the drunken Jack. His face was red all over,


    and with tears in his eyes, he kept on calling Rachel''s name.


    "Jack is drunk again," the maid said timidly.


    "Can''t you stop him from drinking? How are you taking care of him? Perhaps you want to quit your


    job!" Seeing her son''s pitiful state, Tracy became so furious that she couldn''t help venting her anger


    on the maid.


    "Will you please calm down?" Jonathan''s roar scared even the dog outside. He couldn''t stand his


    son''s cowardice and Tracy''s attitude anymore.


    "Take him to his room and make him a bowl of soup to sober him up. If possible, lock his room so


    he won''t be able to run away again!" Jonathan tried his best to suppress his anger, but the


    depression in his words was too evident.


    The maid did her best to carry Jack to his room. On their way upstairs, he vomited twice while still


    calling Rachel''s name. He hadpletely lost his usual image.


    Tracy was still choking with sobs, so Jonathan left her alone annoyingly.


    In the two days that passed, Rachel slowly epted the fact that there was a baby in her belly now.


    How ironic! When she and Jack were still together, he had always wished for her to get pregnant,


    but she never did.


    Now that they were over, the baby came. She didn''t expect that she was already pregnant when


    she found out that the Fu family had something to do with her parents'' death.


    But this was her child.


    Even though Jack was the father, she couldn''t afford to take the baby''s life.


    Rachel wasn''t an emotional woman, but everything that she had gone through had really hit her big


    time.

    Fortunately, she gradually regained her spirit after so many days.


    Since she came to a strange city, it meant that she needed to start everything anew. With her ability,


    she knew that it wouldn''t be difficult for her to find a job. But because of her current condition, she


    thought that being a doctor would not be suitable for her. She needed a rtively leisurely job, so


    she could still take good care of herself and her baby.


    Shended a job as a substitute teacher in a medical school. The school gave her only four sses


    every week, and she had nothing else to do.


    When Rachel arrived at the school today, she didn''t expect to see a familiar face at the gate.


    She thought she was just seeing things, so she didn''t mind it. However, she heard someone called


    her name, "Rachel!"


    As she looked back, she saw Bill running towards her in an all-white suit. Hisplexion had


    turned ruddy, and his body looked much stronger now.


    Rachel was surprised to see him, so she asked, "Didn''t you take Andy back to France?"


    "Yes, I did. But I heard that there is a doctor here who is an expert on Alzheimer''s disease. It is said


    that he is very professional and experienced, so I want to take Andy to him." With a bright smile on


    his face, he added, "I didn''t expect to see you here." Author''s note
