The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) -
Chapter 519
"Justin came to visit a patient, and he also helped a friend to deliver something to Marcus,"
"Friend?" Jolly was surprised. "Why does he have friends who are related to the boss of Lush Enterprise?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but it seems to be something that happened after he arrived in the northern division of Riverdale. There are many kinds of people in that place, and there are many foreign-funded enterprises. It is not surprising to know some people with influential backgrounds there."
Rachel didn't have time to think about it. She grabbed Jolly and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. You should replace a way to get out of here first and not get caught."
"Are you sure Leroy is not in the hospital?"
"I'm not sure, but now you have to trust me." Rachel's attitude was firm and could not be refused. The two squatted behind the bush for a long time before Jolly reluctantly agreed. "Okay, then I'll go back the same way, and I'll wait for you outside."
"Yeah."
All of a sudden, the sound of a car engine came from the inpatient department in the distance, and the two raised their heads subconsciously.
A silver-gray car stopped at the gate of the inpatient department, and Mr. Richards came to get the door. Then, a man and a woman got out of the car, respectively.
Jolly stood up immediately. If it weren't for Rachel's quick movements, she would have been discovered by the security guards in the distance.
"That's Leroy!" "I know! Keep your voice down!" Rachel wanted to block Jolly's mouth. "Aren't you afraid they will replace us?"
After Rachel covered Jolly's mouth, Jolly calmed down.
At this time, Leroy and a young woman stood at the door of the hospital. Although they could not see the woman's appearance, her temperament seemed to be good. The only thing that made Jolly upset was the fact that the woman held Leroy's arm naturally, and Leroy didn't even refuse.
Rachel clenched Jolly's arm for fear that she would rush out now. Seeing the group of people enter the inpatient department, Jolly grabbed Rachel. "Did you see that? That didn't look reluctant at all to me! I think he looks like he's enjoying it!"
"Don't be anxious. Maybe he has to do that for the greater good."
"Does it look that way to you?"
Seeing Jolly's irritable appearance, Rachel was helpless. "Leroy has so many female fans. He used to hug fans and film kissing scenes with actresses, yet I never saw you so agitated." "How were those the same?"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'll go and see what's going on. You can replace a way to get out of here first."
However, Rachel didn't get Jolly's reply for a long time. She saw that Jolly was still staring at the entrance of the inpatient department.
Rachel tugged at her in annoyance. "Do you hear me? Hurry up and leave first! I'll help you see what's going on."
"Yes."
Jolly nodded reluctantly and said unhappily, "If he really loses his interest in me so quickly, you must help me slap him in public! Twice!"
"Okay, I will." Rachel agreed, and so Jolly then walked back along the same path along the wall.
Watching Jolly leave, Rachel looked around cautiously and made sure that no one was around. Then, she turned toward the side door of the inpatient department and then returned inside.
When she was about to reach the ward, she stopped at the door. Looking up, she saw the word 'Lounge' on the door. She was stopped by the voices from inside.
It was Shannon speaking. "Your father is meeting a guest now. When the guest leaves, you can go over there."
Hearing this, Rachel knew Leroy was in the lounge.
"We only came here every day to put on a show. So what does it matter whether we get to see him or not?"
It's indeed Leroy.
At this moment, the initially gentle voice was tainted with a bit of hostility.
Unconsciously, Rachel frowned. Immediately afterward, she heard Shannon speak. "I know you are very dissatisfied, but even if you are just pretending, you have to stay here for an hour a day during the meeting time. If I don't let you go, you can't leave."
"Until the hospital gives notice of his death?"
"Shut your mouth. I can't guarantee that your little girlfriend in Riverdale will be living well."
"Don't you dare to touch her!"
There was a sound of smashing things inside. Some porcelain items broke, accompanied by the frightened cry of the young woman. As the noises came to Rachel's ear, she took a step back
subconsciously and bumped into the flowerpot at the corner.
Fortunately, Rachel was quick and held the flowerpot in time so that it did not fall down. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, the door of the lounge suddenly opened with a loud sound. Shannon held the door with one hand, and when she saw Rachel, she immediately showed a wary look.
"Mrs. Burton?"
"Mrs. Bennett." Rachel showed a surprised look. "I heard the sound of something breaking here as soon as I got off the elevator. What's the matter?"
Rachel lied so naturally that Shannon didn't take her seriously. The vigilance on Shannon's face gradually disappeared, and she said in a low voice, "I just broke a vase by accident." "Are you hurt?"
"No."
"That's good." Rachel clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I just arrived and heard someone arguing, which made me jump."
After saying this, she looked in the ward's direction. "My husband is out, so I'll go over first."
Shannon nodded and watched Rachel go away. Justin came out of Marcus' ward just in time to see Rachel coming toward him. Although she concealed it well, the unease between her brows was still noticed by Justin.
"What's wrong?" He lowered his voice. Rachel shook her head and tried to calm down. "How is Mr. Bennett? Are you finished talking about your business?"
From the corner of Justin's eyes, Justin saw Shannon at the door of the lounge in the distance and knew what Rachel was worried about.
"It's over. Let's go." At this time, Shannon walked toward them. "Mr. Burton, are you leaving now? Let's have dinner together."
"No, I have to accompany my wife back to the city. I've been busy with work. I haven't been out with my wife for a long time. This time we're going to travel and have a look around." "Oh? So, you two are going to stay longer in Enistan?"
"Yeah."
"What a coincidence! Our family is holding a wedding soon. If you two are interested, please come along and enjoy the occasion."
Justin pretended to be surprised. "I saw it on the news, but I thought it was fake news by the media in Enistan. Is it true? You guys are holding a wedding at this time?"
"It'll wash away the bad luck," Shannon said indifferently. "We still believe in that. Maybe it will be useful, don't you think, Mr. Burton?"
Justin's expression was light and noncommittal. Shannon added, "That's settled then. I will send the invitation to the hotel where you live in the next two days."
