My Darling, My Dearest
Chapter 82

Rachel curled up her lips into a smile. "You are welcome to come here at any time."

"Where is the little boy? Can I meet him in your place?" Jonathan asked.

'Mendes?1 Rachel said, "I will call to ask him."

On the other side of the phone, Jonathan smiled and said, "I bought him many things. I'm sure he'll like them. Please tell him to come."

After hanging up the phone, Rachel placed the phone on her vest's pocket. She turned and walked towards Lucas' office.

Lucas was still responsible for taking care of Mendes, but he didn't bring the child to the hospital. Luckily, he had lots of spare time so he only came to the hospital for special cases. A majority of his time had been dedicated to taking care of Mendes.

Lucas only came to the hospital for VIP consultations, since he was only here to take up his further studies.

Sometimes, Lucas didn't even have cases. So he had enough time to take care of Mendes.

Rachel walked inside his office, but he wasn't there. Just as she was about to leave, she saw him walking beside a nurse.

He had probably been checking the patients. He smiled when he saw her.

Lucas whispered some words to the nurse ■d

before she left. He then looked at her. "I was just looking for you."

Rachel also smiled, "What a coincidence! Listen, I want to borrow someone from you."

"Mendes?"

He knew exactly what she meant. Of course she wouldn't borrow him.

Rachel nodded her head and said, "My father-in-law will be coming to my place later. The two of them practically get along with one another."

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while. "I'll ask someone to send him here after work."

Rachel nodded and asked, "So, what was it that you wanted to ask me?"

Lucas scratched his head nervously. He then clenched his fist and coughed. "Well, my family arranged a blind date for me."

Rachel was stunned and didn't react. "A blind date?"

His ears were flushed. Embarrassed, he nodded.

Rachel laughed. "Did your mother ask you to do this?"

He nodded, very helpless. "She had mentioned it to me so many times. I really can't avoid it anymore."

Hearing this, Rachel suddenly became nervous. Her hands slightly tightened in her pocket. "So, what do you need me for?"

Lucas bent his eyes and said frankly, ■d

"I want you to do me a favor.

We are going to meet at a banquet. Will you attend it with me, as a companion of course?"

Rachel's heart sank. She was a little disappointed.

She had thought Lucas would ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

That was something Jack would have done,

but Lucas wouldn't do such a thing.

Without noticing it, Rachel had compared Lucas with Jack.

In the end, the scale in her heart turned to Lucas. She was not so disgusted with Jack. She just felt that he was a little tricky and unfaithful.

"When will you go there?" she asked.

"During the weekend." Rachel was the best choice for Lucas, even after he considered it. He couldn't refuse his mother's request, but he also didn't want to go to the blind date. According to his mother, the girl had a crush on him. Lucas thought about it for a while and decided to replace a female companion to go to the banquet with him.

Rachel was the only person he could think of.

They got along well and wouldn't misunderstand one other. Rachel nodded her head and said, "Okay."

They didn't know that they would meet many acquaintances at that banquet. ■d

At dusk, a luxurious car slowly stopped at the hospital gate. The man meditating in the back seat tapped his lap. The driver in the front row turned his head and said, "Mr. Fu, we have arrived." Jack opened his eyes and said nothing. His father had asked him to pick up Rachel from work.

Before she finished her shift, Rachel checked a few patients and briefly taught the interns in the front hall.

When Jack arrived, Rachel encountered a difficult patient who was afraid of being injected. He kept struggling, not wanting the nurse to come closer.

After wasting a few minutes, the nurse turned to Rachel for help. She agreed to help, seeing that the nurse couldn't handle the patient by herself.

It was a teenage boy. Rachel brought a thermometer to take his body temperature. When she lowered her head, the boy became shy and stammered, "I can do it myself."

Then he took the thermometer from Rachel's hand and placed it under his armpit.

Rachel wasn't so busy so she had time to talk with the boy, to ease his nervous emotion.

She was chatting animatedly with the boy when Jack came over. The boy, gradually loosened his grip.

The nurse was amazed that Rachel had the patience to calm the boy. Rachel winked at the nurse, signaling for her to do the injection.

The nurse was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what to do. She went forward and pushed the boy's sleeve up. The boy began to panic.

But Rachel grabbed his hand and started to calmly talk to him again.

The nurse wiped the alcohol on his skin and picked up the needle. Just as she was about to press the needle, his muscles tightened.

Rachel tried to distract him once again. "Look who's there!"

The boy got fooled. When he looked up, the nurse gave him a shot.

He started bursting into tears. The nurse held her laughter in and carefully pushed the needle. "Don't move. The needle will break."

The boy was so scared that he didn't dare to move. He wiped his tears and looked at Rachel.

He was teary-eyed and pursed his lips, trying to look as if he had suffered a lot. Rachel just stared at him, not feeling guilty at all.

A person behind him laughed. After the nurse took the needle away, the stranger slowly came over.

The boy was still crying. Rachel handed him a tissue and comforted him.

As the boy left, Jack walked up to her slowly and said, "If I were him, I would've complained to your superior."

Rachel turned, surprised to see Jack here.

"Why are you here?" she asked. ■d

Jack glanced at his watch. "Isn't it time for you to get off work? Dad asked me to pick you up."

"Oh, let's wait for a while.

Dad wants to meet Mendes. Lucas's driver will send the child here in a while."

Suddenly, someone called her back. Rachel stopped and turned around. She saw Cara approaching. She walked over and handed a document to Rachel. "Check this when you're free. Afterwards, write a report addressed to Director Yu."

Rachel caught a glimpse of first two pages in the document and nodded. She noticed that Cara fixed her curious eyes on Jack. Cara was surprised and asked tentatively, "Is this...?"

She had seen this man before. When Rachel had an accident, he came to the hospital. She later recognized the man to be Jack Fu.

And when she saw him appear again, she couldn't help but feel curious.

Rachel didn't know how to reply her question. She had no idea how to introduce Jack to her colleagues.

But before she could say anything, Jack took the initiative to introduce himself. "I'm Jack Fu, a friend of Rachel's." Fie greeted Cara with a warm smile.

'Friend?' This word was very suspicious. Cara smiled, "Did you come here to pick Rachel up?"

Jack nodded and Cara pretended to know everything. She smiled and said, "It's good for young people to have a walk after work." Rachel realized that she had misunderstood them. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

"I'm going to do my work. Excuse me," Cara said. She turned around and thought to herself, 'This girl has a special background.'

She hadn't been so sure whether the man she saw that day was Jack. But after his introduction, she was convinced.

'Rachel is so lucky to be married into the Fu family,' she thought.

When they went back to her office, Rachel made a cup of tea for him. "We have to wait for a while. It will take the driver at least half an hour to get here."

It was rush hour time, so it was normal to be stuck in a traffic jam on the road. Jack nodded and leisurely took a medical magazine to read. "I can wait."

Rachel returned to her desk and began to read the document Cara gave her. She looked through it for a while and then took out a pen. When she tried to scribble on the paper, it didn't produce any ink.

She shook the pen lightly, scribbling on the paper to force the ink out. However, there was little ink left. Persistent, she shook the pen. All of a sudden, blue ink spewed from the tip, coloring her hand a shade of dark blue.

Rachel held back a curse. She looked up, hoping that Jack didn't notice. Fortunately, he was engrossed in the magazine, not paying any attention to her.
