Stuck in you

Chapter 381 Believe In Fate

One sharp-eyed nurse saw Rachel, so she stood up and greeted her, "Rachel, you're here."

Rachel nodded at her in acknowledgment. She didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing the smiles on their faces, they seemed to be having fun, so she didn't want to disturb them. She put down the fruits she had just bought and said with a smile, "I brought some fruits. I've already washed them, and they're ready to eat."

"Thank you, Rachel."

Receiving lots of gratitude made her feel a little embarrassed. She smiled faintly and turned around to leave. But a nurse asked, "Have you seen the news yesterday? The rich single men in the city are already getting married one by one. But until now, I haven't found my prince charming yet."

"Who?" someone immediately asked.

Rachel's heart skipped a beat upon hearing their conversation. In the past two days, only Marcus was featured on the news to be getting married.

However, Celia still didn't know about it.

The nurse said, "He is..."

Rachel interrupted at once. "Hey, I almost forgot. Someone was looking for you outside before I came in."

The nurse tilted her head and asked, "Who?"

Rachel touched her nose subconsciously, trying to hide her uneasiness for lying. "Sorry, I don't know him. I just heard him looking for you. He seemed very anxious, so you'd better go and have a look."

The nurse nodded, completely forgetting what she had just said. She stood up from the sofa and was about to go out, but one of the nurses pulled her arm. "Tell us the name of that guy first before you go out."

"Check on the Internet. I need to go out and see who is looking for me."

She impatiently pulled her arm and strode out of the ward.

The others lowered their heads to look at their phones. They must be looking for the news about the man. Rachel cleared her throat and said, "Ladies, I have something to tell Celia. Is it okay if you leave us alone for a while?"

"Sure." The other nurses walked out of the ward one by one.

Soon enough, only Rachel and Celia were left. Rachel sat down on the chair and heard Celia asking what she wanted to say. For a while, she was silent as if trying to think of the right words to say.

A few moments later, she finally opened her mouth. "Celia, since your father has recovered well, you have nothing to worry anymore."

Celia turned to her, looking confused. What she said wasn't something that they needed to talk alone. Her father's condition wasn't confidential, after all.

But still, Celia said in a cold tone, "As long as he is not dead, I don't worry. As his daughter, I think I have already done my best."

"You're right."

Rachel heaved a sigh before she stood up. She was about to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Celia stopped her. Staring at her blankly, she said emotionlessly, "Rachel, you just asked them to go out because you don't want them to tell me that Marcus is the one getting married, right?"

"You know about it?" Rachel couldn't hide the surprise on her face.

Celia nodded and said calmly, "Yes. I was a bit bored in the ward alone last night, so I went downstairs. I heard some nurses talking about it by accident. But don't worry, I'm fine. I have finally gotten it through my head that he isn't meant for me. The gap between us is quite huge. Even if we can be together now, it may not last long. Perhaps time won't allow a tragedy to happen to us.

Just like a saying that goes, 'Sometimes bad turns have positive unintended consequences.'"

Rachel couldn't help feeling upset upon hearing her self-consolation, but she could only smile and agree to her. "Yes, you are right. I'm glad you think that way now."

"I'm fine, Rachel. Don't worry about me. Go ahead and continue your work."

When Rachel left, Celia slowly slid down and under the quilt. She bit her lower lip to suppress the sobs in her throat. She wept silently.

Rachel turned to take a last look at the door of the ward before she walked back to her office.

A cold wave hit Ninwell City last week, so there were more patients in the hospital now that had fever and colds. Rachel's department had the most number of patients.

She had only realized the time when she saw Jack walking towards her, with hands in his pockets. Rubbing her head, she asked, "Are we already late?"

In the Fu family mansion, Jonathan saw Jack and Rachel walking in while chatting. He couldn't help smiling when he asked, "Why are you so late?"

"There was a traffic jam," Jack answered.

Tracy heard the noise and walked out of the dining room. "Finally, you're here. The food is getting cold. Go wash your hands so we can have dinner."

She had prepared several kinds of dishes, which were too much for the four of them.

Jonathan picked up his chopsticks and said happily, "I went fishing with some friends today, and I caught two big fishes.

Your mom braised one in brown sauce and steamed the other one."

Rachel picked up a pair of chopsticks and said, "Wow! They look so fresh."

"Enjoy them then."

Jonathan suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Rachel and Jack. He asked slowly, "Have you set your wedding date yet?"

Rachel opened her mouth and was about to answer when Jack suddenly pulled a long face and said impatiently, "I don't need you to worry about us."

She was surprised by his sudden reaction.

But she was more surprised that Jonathan didn't get upset at all. He still looked as usual as if he hadn't heard what Jack had said. He continued in a low voice, "Your mother and I checked the calendar two days ago. The fifteenth of next month is a very good date. It's still more than a month from now. Are you okay with it?"

Rachel glanced at Jack, who was pursing his lips tightly, before she replied with a smile, "We'll talk about it when we get home, Dad."

Tracy patted Jonathan's hand on the table and said,

"Let the kids talk about it by themselves."

After dinner, Rachel and Jack didn't stay long in the mansion anymore. As soon as they got into the car, she asked, "Why did you suddenly talk to Dad like that? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing." This time, Jack's tone softened a little.

He didn't know how to explain it to Rachel.

At first, he had thought that Jonathan would not interfere in their affairs. But he didn't expect him to interfere. He wasn't sure what his father was thinking.

Obviously, Rachel didn't believe him. But since he didn't want to speak up, she didn't insist anymore.

She fastened her seat belt and closed her eyes. Something suddenly came to her mind.

Since she and Jack had gotten back together, there seemed to be something weird between Jonathan and Jack that she couldn't figure out.

After that dinner in the Fu family mansion, Jonathan had never called them about the wedding date. And since Rachel had gotten busier in the hospital each day, she also gradually forgot about it.

On the other hand, Celia stayed in the hospital for two more days before she got discharged. On that day, she also handed in her resignation letter to the director. Fortunately, Rachel had known it before the director could submit her resignation letter to the HR department. She talked to the director and begged to give Celia an indefinite vacation leave to fully recover from everything she had gone through instead of accepting her resignation.

As for Marcus, Rachel didn't hear anything about him. It seemed that the act that Eric deliberately put on that day did not affect them at all.

After sending Rita to the kindergarten, Lea came to the hospital to see Rachel. She sat in front of her desk and propped her chin in the palm of her hand. She asked, "Hey, how could that woman be so calm? Didn't she mind that her fiance is gay? She's weird."

"Well, maybe she has seen through our trick."

Rachel believed that someone like Eden, who came from a well-off family, would not be so naive.

Lea shook her head in disagreement. "That's impossible. Eric was such a good actor. What he did that day was so convincing that even I was almost deceived by him. How much more that woman? I don't believe it."

Rachel did not comment anymore and just looked down at the report in her hand.

They were always like this when they chatted. Lea would keep on talking while Rachel was busy with her work. When Lea needed Rachel's attention or opinion, she would shout her name, and Rachel would respond right away. Everything would be fine then.

Just like right now. Lea banged her hand on the desk and asked, "Rachel, are you listening to me or not?"

"I am." Rachel closed the files she was reading and stared at her carefully. "I don't think it's necessary to ask Eric to annoy her again. After all, the more we play tricks on her, the more likely she finds it out."

"I guess you are right." Lea bent over her desk and asked, "Then what should we do now?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Rachel stroked Lea's head as if stroking a dog and replied, "Believe in fate. Fate will go through all the setbacks and let them eventually be together again in the end."

It also happened to her and Jack.

Even to Lea and Henry.

After work, Rachel hailed a taxi. She was about to go home directly, but she suddenly remembered that she needed to pick up her car from the shop. It was scheduled for release yesterday, but it slipped her mind. She tapped the taxi driver's seat and told him to drive her to the shop.

"Why didn't you tell me ahead of time?"

the driver muttered.

When Rachel arrived at the shop, there was only one staff left standing in the counter. She immediately recognized her as the receptionist who assisted her that day she brought her car there.

The receptionist saw her coming towards her, so she said, "Miss, you finally came today. I waited for you until six o'clock yesterday, but you didn't come."

"I'm so sorry. Something urgent came up yesterday, so I wasn't able to come here." Rachel felt a little embarrassed.

The receptionist took out a business card, handed it to her, and said, "It's okay. Next time, if you can't come here, call my number, so I'll know."
