Chapter 434 The Misfits
"Well, Mom! I'm glad you think that we know Hardy well enough. Hardy has a great job and he has a
good character," Rachel happily said. The more Rachel thought about it, the more she wanted to ask
Hardy about the marriage.
Celine became anxious when she heard what Rachel had said. She replied,"Rachel, what are you
trying to do? Hardy is just taking care of me. Why are you going to ask him to marry me? Don't you
think that it is too much to ask from him?
Rachel snorted, raised her eyebrows, stared at Celine and said,"Celine, you know the saying. Keep it
in the family. Let me do the talking. I'll let you get to the point with Hardy..."
Celine became more and more anxious as she listened. She held on to Rachel's arm and
pleaded,"Don't do this Rachel. You... Is this really necessary? Hardy just walked out of the ward. Did
you say anything? I hope not. Anyway, don't talk about these things with him until I leave the hospital.
Okay?"
Rachel burst into a laugh.
"Celine, would you believe it? I just told him!" She laughed at the shocked, angry face of Celine.
"Humph!" Celine muttered in anger and glanced at Rachel.
Hardy had promised Hiram to look after Celine and he had done it dutifully in the past two days. Hardy
came to see Celine almost once every hour and spoke with her, comforting her.
At first, Celine suffered from the broken heart she had since breaking up with her ex. However, when
she saw that Hardy truly cared about her, her heart warmed up to him a little.
Rachel opened the door of the ward, still chuckling, and stepped outside.
"I will ask Hardy first to see if he has a girlfriend already. If that's the case, it is no use talking anymore.
Wait for me to come back!" Rachel said as she went out.
After Rachel went out, Hardy completed the ward-round. He was about to go back to the office when
he saw Rachel.
"Rachel," Hardy called out politely. At the same time, Rachel started walking towards him.
"Well, let's go to your office. I want to talk about Celine's condition," Rachel said gravely.
"Oh, okay." Hardy replied. Hardy walked to the door of his office, opened it and went inside. He held the
door open and said," Please sit down, Rachel."
Rachel sat down and looked around. 'It is very neat and tidy in Hardy's office, ' she thought.
Rachel pretended to take a leisurely look at the artificial human skeleton on Hardy's desk. She
asked,"Well, Hardy, how old are you this year?"
Hardy was pouring Rachel a glass of water. When Hardy heard the question, he was startled. He
replied,"I'm thirty-one."
"No girlfriend?" Rachel asked casually. She took the glass of water from Hardy as she spoke.
Hardy shook his head and smiled,"I am very busy with work, so I have no time to look for a girlfriend. I
used to have a girlfriend. I wasn't good at keeping her happy, so she broke up with me after a few
months."
After learning that Hardy was single, Rachel was elated. She gave a quiet cough to attract Hardy's
attention and spoke with a straight face,"I see. By the way, how are the test results of Celine? Is
everything good?" Rachel asked solicitously.
"It's okay. I've seen them. It's nothing serious." Hardy responded. He didn't think much about Rachel's
questions about him having a girlfriend.
"That's good. I will be leaving in a bit. Please take good care of Celine," Rachel said. Rachel then
waved to Hardy and walked out.
Hardy nodded and said,"I assure you that I will look after Celine. I even changed my shift times so that
I can see her more. I will take care of her!"
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you,"Rachel replied. In her head she could not stop the happy thoughts,
'Wonderful, wonderful! What an honest guy Hardy is!'
After coming out of Hardy's office, she heaved a sigh of relief.
'Good. There is a chance that Celine and Hardy could be together.' she thought.
After returning to the ward, Celine was uneasy. When she saw Rachel coming back, she immediately
walked toward Rachel and asked,"Rachel, did you ask Hardy to go on a date with me? You are making
me... embarrassed to face Hardy," she told Rachel.
Celine thought, 'The day before, I broke up with my boyfriend and then nearly died of taking medicine.
Now, Rachel is asking Hardy to see if he has a girlfriend. I shouldn't have let Rachel speak to Hardy.'
Rachel glanced at Celine with a smile and said,"I just chatted to Hardy and asked if he had a girlfriend.
Celine, you don't be shy about talking to him directly about it. However, I am not."
Fannie waved her arms and said eagerly,"Rachel just say it. How about Hardy's thoughts on this date?"
"Mom, I asked Hardy. He is thirty-one years old this year. He's not married. He doesn't have a girlfriend
for the time being as well." Rachel replied. Rachel quietly observed Celine's face.
Hearing this, Fannie said with a smile,"Well. It is an opportunity for you, Celine. It must be fate.
Although we can't guarantee that you will succeed this time, you should have the courage to make an
attempt at least."
Fannie tried to cheer Celine.
Rachel looked at her mother and leaned forward to say,"Mom, shall I find a handsome companion for
you too?"
"Humph! Rachel, you are very naughty. I'm getting old. Is it right that you find a companion for me?"
Fannie said with a smile, glancing at Rachel.
Rachel sat down next to Celine and said,"Celine, what my mom said was right. Blind dates are based
on the first impression. But the arrangement with you and Hardy would be better than a blind date. You
just seize this opportunity and get closer to Hardy. If you two are compatible, you could have a new life
with him. If you two are not a match, there are many alternatives."
Rachel shook the tablet in her hands as she spoke for emphasis.
Celine nodded, stretched out her arms to embrace Rachel tightly and said,"Rachel, thank you. You not
only saved my life, but think about my future too! I want to be lifelong friends with you!"
Celine thought, 'Rachel had helped me a lot in both life and work.
Rachel believed in me so much that she gave me great power at work. What's more, I got the best
annual bonus.
She also used her influence to help me earn a lot of fame and fortune.
I had not been able to attain any of that in my previous jobs.'
"Well, that's very nice of you. Why do you say these nice words to me? I need to go to the company
later today. You need to get well soon. You know that you play an important role in the company. Do
you understand what I said?" Rachel asked firmly, as she tapped Celine's shoulder.
Celine nodded tearfully.
After leaving the hospital, Rachel asked Fannie to accompany her to RaR company. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Celine was not in the company, so Rachel had to deal with business herself.
"Rachel, I have never been to your company before. To my surprise, the company looks quite good."
Fannie said with a smile. They walked inside the company.
"It's a pity that your father is not here. If your father saw your achievements today, he would have been
so happy," Fannie sighed.
Fannie thought, 'If Simpson was still alive, he would be so glad to see that his daughter, Rachel, has
made a successful career for herself plus two beautiful children.'
"Mom, I believe that dad will see all of this in heaven." Rachel sighed lightly. Rachel leaned toward
Fannie, tapped her shoulder and said,"You wait for me at the office for a while. I will deal with some
matters first and we will go home together after that."
"Well, go ahead and do your job. Don't worry about me," Fannie said. She waved to Rachel.
Rachel was busy in the company all afternoon. After work was over, Rachel realized that it was getting
late.
Rachel stretched herself, looked at the clock and immediately shouted out,"Oh, gosh! I forget that mom
is still in the office."
Rachel rushed, opened the door and then saw that her mother had fallen asleep on the chair. Seeing
this, Rachel walked toward her, then patted her on the back, and gently said,"Mom, wake up... Let's
go?"
Hearing this, Fannie woke up, rubbed her eyes, looked at the sky outside the window and said,"Rachel!
it's very late. Let's go."
After leaving the company, Rachel called Hiram.
The phone rang for a while, but Hiram did not answer it. When Rachel was about to hang up, someone
picked up the phone.
"Hello, Hiram, where are you?" Rachel asked.
After waiting for a moment, an unfamiliar voice said,"Rachel, this is Flora. I'm out with Hiram. Hiram
went to the bathroom and left his phone on the table. Maybe you can call back later?
"..."
Rachel was silent. She thought of the messages from Flora that she saw on Hiram's phone that
morning. Rachel couldn't help suspecting Hiram. He had asked her to ignore the messages at the time.
Now Flora was out with Hiram.
