Chapter 410 Baby Is Healthy


    When they arrived at the hospital, Julie and Rachel were stunned to see it was crammed with


    people. After finding an empty seat for Rachel, Julie went to the registry desk to get the number.


    Sitting all by herself, Rachel looked at the passers-by. Realizing Julie would be back soon, she put


    her bag on the seat next to her, reserving the seat for Julie.


    Julie was back within a few minutes. She looked up at the screen on the wall and then looked down


    at the paper in her hands. Doing a quick mental calction, she announced, "Miss, there are seven


    people ahead of us. This will take a while."


    Rachel smiled and said, "It''s alright. I don''t mind waiting."


    Julie nodded and kept the number token inside the medical record. After a while, she looked at


    Rachel and asked, "Miss, why didn''t you just let Mr. Fu to take a shower and send us to the


    hospital? It would have been nice to have him with us. If he was here, you wouldn''t have had to


    wait. I am sure of that."


    "Like I said, I don''t mind waiting," Rachel replied. Even though she tried to look fine, her hands


    subconsciously went and pressed against the back of her waist. She was indeed in pain. Her belly


    had gotten quite big recently. After sitting there for a long time, she was beginning to feel difort.


    Her body was getting sore.


    Her pain didn''t go unnoticed by Julie. Keeping aside the medical record, she reached out and


    rubbed the back of Rachel''s waist. "Miss, Mr. Fu really cares about you. If you both are fighting,


    then I highly suggest you talk about it and sort it out. If you both don''t talk about it, how will you fix


    it?"


    In the past few days, Julie had taken the full responsibility of Rachel''s diet. Being with her all the


    time, she noticed something was off about her rtionship with Jack. Now she wanted to help them


    sort things out.


    Seeing that her words hadn''t offended Rachel, Julie went on. "How is it possible for two people to


    live together without a little arguments? Let bygones be bygones. Such fights are known to make a


    rtionship stronger. But things need to be fixed, so hurry up."


    Although Rachel knew all these things, she couldn''t look past Jack''s mistake.


    There was a time when she didn''t love him. Back then, it was easy for her to turn a blind eye to


    these matters. But ever since she fell in love with him, her expectations from him became high.


    Even the smallest mistake from his part would hurt her.


    Before she could dwell more on these thoughts, the nurse''s voice came from the door. "Rachel


    Shen,e on in."


    Rachel slowly stood up and took the medical record from Julie''s hand. She smiled and said, "Julie, I


    can go in by myself. You wait for me here."


    On the other side, Scarlett was sitting in the cafe, impatiently waiting for Jack''s call. The girl sitting


    opposite her snapped her fingers, trying to gain Scarlett''s attention. "Can we leave now? Besides


    you can answer his call wherever you are. There is no point in sitting here," she said, looking a bit


    frustrated.


    "What if I don''t hear the phone ring?" Scarlett asked, looking a little worried. Looking at her phone,


    she muttered under her breath, "Why didn''t he call me yet?"


    Just when she was about to give up, her phone suddenly rang, instilling her with hope. Scarlett''s


    expression changed. Composing herself, she picked up the phone. "Hello?"


    A shrewd look shed through Jack''s eyes. In his typical, cold voice, he said, "I''m Jack Fu. Where


    are you now? I''ll pick you up."


    ''Pick me up...''


    Hearing this, Scarlett couldn''t help but smile. She was ovee by an urge to ept quickly. But


    she knew that wasn''t how things worked. Suppressing her excitement, she cleared her throat and


    said, "Mr. Fu, you can say it on the phone if you have something to tell me." Jack frowned and said,


    "I wouldn''t have asked you out if it was something that could be said through the phone."


    "But, I..." Scarlett still wanted to show her unwillingness to meet him. However, Jack wouldn''t take


    no for an answer. "Just give me the address!" he ordered firmly.


    Obviously, he had no patience to listen to her nonsense anymore. Scarlett had to change her n


    and tell him her address.


    The doctor handed the B Ultrasound report to Rachel, pointed at the blurred B Ultrasound picture


    on it and said kindly, "Previously, your prenatal checkups were not done in our hospital. I don''t know


    the specific situation, so I can only get a general understanding of it through the examination report


    you brought here. But it''s obvious that the baby''s development and nutrition are much better than


    before. You don''t need to supplement anything special. Just keep it as it is. This is doing your body


    good."


    "Okay, thank you, doctor."


    Hearing the doctor''s positive response, Rachel was relieved. Julie couldn''t wait any longer since the


    anticipation was killing her. As soon as she saw Rachel walk out, she asked, "Miss, what did the


    doctor say?"


    "Everything is fine."


    Seeing the smile on Rachel''s face, Julie was relieved. She couldn''t wait to go back home and


    inform Jack about today''s appointment. Perhaps he would give her a rise next month!


    This was why she enjoyed her job so much.


    However, when they arrived home, Julie looked around, but didn''t see Jack. Julie was about to ask


    Rachel about it, but noticed her sitting on the sofa and reading the magazine. She realized Rachel


    didn''t care whether he was there or not.


    In truth, as soon as they came in, Rachel''s eyes had fallen on the pair of slippers on the shoe


    cab. She knew he was away, but wouldn''t ask him where he was. ''It is none of my business,"


    she told herself.


    Rachel was a little tired after what happened today. She yawned and was about to make her way to


    her room. Just then, her phone rang. "Rachel, why don''t you tell me since you are back?"


    Celia asked from the other end of the line.


    Rachel smiled and replied, "But you already know, don''t you?"


    "Humph, is that your excuse? If Marcus hadn''t told me, I would have only known about it after you


    gave birth to the baby. What do you have to say about that?"


    "I''m sorry, Celia. Please don''t be mad at me."


    All the while, Rachel was smiling. Celia was like a baby who was annoyed easily. There was silence


    from her side. Rachel wondered if she had already kept the phone. Then in a brisk tone, Celia said,


    "I have heard of this new Japanese restaurant. I am dying to eat there. However, my wallet doesn''t


    agree."


    Rachel instantly understood what this woman was aiming at. She couldn''t helpughing. "I will treat


    you Celia. Will you forgive me then?"


    "In that case, I forgave you already. If you aren''t too busy, shall we go now?"


    Rachel''s smile deepened. Standing up, she mumbled something to Julie. Then she took a taxi to


    the Japanese restaurant mentioned by Celia. Celia had been waiting at the door. As soon as she


    saw Rachel, she waved at her and said, "Rachel, hurry up."


    When she realized her blunder, she covered her mouth apologetically. Then she immediately trotted


    to Rachel and held her arm. "Rachel, I am sorry for being so stupid. Don''t hurry. Walk slowly and


    take all the time you want."


    Celia was quite a spectacle. Her words sent Rachelughing. Once she was doneughing about it,


    she said, "It''s okay. I am almost four months pregnant now. The baby is stable."


    "Is it so? In that case, how about you speed up? Just a little," she added with excitement. Celia


    stretched out her hand and made a gesture for Rachel to walk faster. However, she also grinned


    with a guilty conscience. "This restaurant is doing well. I''m just afraid that there won''t be any seats


    vacant for us," she exined.


    Rachel thought Celia was exaggerating, but once they were in, she was stunned to see they had


    only two seats avable. What was more was that all the private rooms had been booked.


    Celia didn''t seem to care much about the private rooms. She was here for their food and she was


    thrilled have found themselves a spot to sit. Looking around and pointing at the empty seats, she


    said, "Let''s quickly upy those empty seats."


    Even before pregnancy, Rachel wasn''t too fond of Japanese food. But in this condition, her appetite


    had gotten even worse. She was in no mood to eat. However, seeing that Celia was looking at the


    menu with her bright eyes, she didn''t want to disappoint her. She let her order as she pleased. After


    the waiter left, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Rachel, did I order too much?"


    Taking a sip of the lemonade, Rachel answered, "Yes, I think you did."


    "Really? Do you want me to cancel some?" Seeing that Rachel had thought she had overdone,


    Celia slowly turned around and got ready to call the waiter. However, her voice was way too low for


    him to hear.


    Rachel said, "Speak louder. What happened to your voice?"

    Celia bit her lips and asked with grievance, "Rachel, do you really want me to cancel some dishes. I


    am sure the waiter willugh at us."


    "I''m not afraid of beingughed at. I''m just worried about my wallet."


    Rachel was determined to maintain a poker face. But seeing the anxiety on Celia''s face, she burst


    outughing. Celia quickly realized Rachel was only joking. Pounding the table, she looked at


    Rachel and eximed, "Rachel, you are joking with me!"


    Giving up any pretense of being serious, Rachel continued tough. But something froze her smile.


    Cheerfulness left her body.


    Celia waved her hand in front of Rachel and asked in confusion, "What''s wrong?"


    When Celia was about to turn her head and look behind, Rachel came back to her senses and said,


    "I was just wondering if Marcus knows about your appetite. Is he aware he is going to raise a piggy


    instead of a girlfriend?"


    "Rachel!"


    Looking at the nervous look on Celia''s face, Rachel smiled. But her heart was thudding against her


    chest.


    Just now, she had caught sight of Jack with the girl who hade to her in the fried chicken store.


    They were getting out of one of the private rooms. Although he seemed indifferent, the girl clung to


    him. Holding his arm, she was whispering something into his ear. Her excitement was evident to


    Rachel.


    ''Why are the two of them here?'' she wondered.


    At this moment, the waiter brought them the dishes they ordered. Celia said excitedly, "Rachel,


    where are you lost? Look at the food! So yummy! I''m starving to death."
