Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 69: Why Are You Still Clinging on?

When they went out of the mall, Rachel wanted to go back to the hospital. After walking several steps,

she realized that the person behind was still following her. She frowned and was troubled by her mixed

feelings and her tone was foul, “Why are you still following me?”

“I’ll send you back.” Kenneth looked at her but didn’t feel that anything was amiss.

“I know the way and don’t need you to send me. You can go back.”

He frowned and doesn’t understand the reason for her sudden change in attitude but didn’t pursue the

reason. He just nodded, “Okay, I’ll see you to the hospital before leaving.”

“…”

Rachel’s frustration boiled over and she couldn’t suppress it any longer and yelled, “Kenneth, can you

stop following me? This child isn’t yours alone. I will take note and be careful. You don’t have to follow

me all the time.”

Kenneth’s expression sank, “You mean being careful like just now? If I wasn’t there, do you know what

could be the outcome?”

Rachel was stumped.

Just now she indeed wasn’t careful but how can there be so many accidents. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Furthermore, wasn’t it because he suddenly did that to her… Otherwise, how could she have not

noticed the danger?

She lowered her head angrily and her expression was still very foul. Then she showed a cold

expression and said, “I get upset whenever I see you. If you want me to be able to have my dinner, get

out of my sight immediately!”

“…”

The man’s handsome face turned dark.

This woman has learned to throw a tantrum.

He ground his teeth, “Do you hate me so much?”

Rachel tilted her head to look at him and smiled dazzlingly, “What do you think? That’s why… for the

sake of the child, please don’t affect my appetite.”

“…”

In the end, Kenneth didn’t force her. He calmed himself and left.

After seeing him disappear amongst the crowd, Rachel’s dazzling smile disappeared, and looked at her

small abdomen. Her eyes couldn’t cover the gloom that she’s feeling.

Child, child… whatever he does was due to the child.

She stood in place for a minute before she turned and left. She didn’t realize that someone was still

following from afar.

Rachel went back to the patient ward. Theresa asked her curiously, “Where have you been? Why do

you come back at this time?’

“I went for a walk.” She smiled. Her thoughts were still on Kenneth.

Theresa looked at her for a second and frowned, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”

She was after all her daughter and with one expression, she can sense that something wasn’t right.

Rachel was dazed for a moment and then came to her senses and smiled as she shook her head,

“What can be wrong with me? Are you hungry? I’ll buy something for you later.”

“Don’t bother. Don’t trouble yourself. I’ll have the nurse help to pack something from the cafeteria. You

just rest for a while.”

Rachel sat on the chair and lowered her head, pouts, “Okay.”

She felt that her mother was amazing. She seemed to be able to sense everything. She’d better be

more careful in the future.

She had a long day and walked a lot. Rachel felt tired and tilted her head and fell asleep in a daze.

Theresa saw and didn’t dare to disturb her and asked a nurse to use a piece of clothing to cover her.

After all, it was an expensive high-end private hospital. Not only was it a single patient room, but the

décor also was luxurious and the soundproofing was excellent. Rachel slept comfortably for half a day.

By the time she woke up, the room’s lights were turned on.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. She sat up and asked, “Mom, what time is it?”

Because she just woke up, her voice was raspy.

“It’s seven.” The reply wasn’t from Theresa but a deep and manly voice.

Rachel was surprised and lifted her head.

The ceiling lights were rather glaring and she looked for a few seconds before seeing clearly and her

expression changed, “Kenneth, how come it’s you again?”

Why is he still around?

He was there before she slept. He was there when she dreamt. Now he was there when she woke up.

The man was standing and at 1.8 plus meters tall, he practically blocked all the lights above her. She

could barely see his expression but she could hear his calm voice, “Didn’t I tell you that I’ll be leaving

for J City tonight? I came to visit auntie before I leave.”

“So now that you’ve seen her, you may leave.”

Rachel said rudely and flipped open the blanket to get down from the bed. As she made the action, she

suddenly recalled that wasn’t she sitting on a chair? How come she’s on the bed now?

She lifted her head to look around before realizing that she wasn’t in Theresa’s room and she was

laying on a bed with him standing at the foot of the bed.

“I, how come I’m here?” She stared at him and pointed to herself as she stammers.

Kenneth bent forward to place her shoes at the bedside before saying, “It’s not comfortable sleeping on

the chair and I carried you over here.”

“Then, then where’s my mother?” Did her mother see him carry her out and not say a word?

What kind of a mother was she?

“Auntie’s next door.” Kenneth didn’t know that she was conflicted and since she was still stunned and

thinking about something, he squatted down and put on the shoes for her.

The warmth on her feet caused her heart to skip a beat. She looked down at his broad shoulders and

back. Her ears began to heat up and she hurriedly pushed him away and stammers, “I, I’ll do it myself.”

She quickly put on her shoes and didn’t dare to look at him directly. She walked quickly out of the room

and into the room next door.

She still couldn’t believe that her mother was so indifferent. Has she forgotten that they’ve already

divorced?

In the other patient’s room, Theresa was eating her dinner and the door was suddenly opened. She

was surprised and choked and started to cough.

“Mom.” Rachel’s expression changed slightly. She walked forward two steps and handed a glass of

water to her and patted her back gently.

Theresa drank the water and finally calmed down and smiled at her, “You’re awake. It’s late already, go

home. You still have to work tomorrow. Don’t stay over tonight.”

Rachel went near to her and pretended to adjust her clothes. She lowered her voice and ground her

teeth, “Mom, don’t change the subject.”

Theresa saw Kenneth walking in and smiled as she nodded. And then softly replied, “He came

specially to see you. He was worried that you’ll be hungry and brought your dinner. How could I give

him an attitude? He saw that you were asleep on the chair and carried you over. There weren’t any

inappropriate actions. What can I say?”

“…”

Rachel was so angry that her eyebrow twitched.

Had he done anything inappropriate in the other room, will you be able to see it?

She must have guessed her thoughts and Theresa whispered, “If he wanted to be inappropriate to you

he could have done it long ago. Why does he wait till after the divorce? He must be worried about the

child. Don’t be so petty.”

“…”

Rachel wanted to spew blood.

Petty? Can she be happy that her mother is now siding with an outsider?
