Chapter 211 Go Back To Work

Rachel didn't know whether she was pregnant.

Quietly covering her belly with her hand under the quilt, she thought about how happy Jack would be if
she was.

The next morning, the rising sun shone brightly through the window, casting a dazzling light on the
floor.

A small plant on the balcony was stretching its branches and leaves in the morning sun.

As soon as Rachel woke up, she shot up from the bed and went to the bathroom with the pregnancy
test kit in her hand.

After nervously waiting for ten minutes to pass, she checked the test only to find a single red line on it.
She froze, not knowing whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

In retrospect, this was good news for her.

She walked to the trash can, threw the kit away, and stood there for a while staring blankly at the wall.
Finally, she shook herself out of her trance and began getting ready to go to the hospital.

Now that the pregnancy test result had been negative, she could still return to her job.

Before she went to the hospital, she informed James of her decision.

After all, he was the one who had approved her long leave, so he should be the first to know.

Of course, James was nothing short of happy to learn that Rachel was coming back to work. It was
difficult to hire a doctor with a high qualification and a good attitude like her.

As the owner of the hospital, he had felt sorry after hearing that she wanted such a long leave.



So now that she wanted to come back to work, he was elated. Just when he wanted to tell her that she
could carry on with her work as usual, however, something occurred to him, and his expression turned
serious. "Rachel, as I've told you before, there is a bad atmosphere in the hospital. If you ever see one
of our staff doing something unethical, report it to me directly."

He was afraid that Rachel might be unwilling to snitch on her colleagues, so he added,

"If you see anyone spreading rumors about the hospital or doing something to give it a bad name, you
don't have to hide it. Just tell the truth.

I was so busy with other things for the last two years that I didn't even pay attention to the hospital.
That's why that incident occurred."

"You mean the one with Kevin?" Rachel asked.

"Yes, that's the one." With a deep sigh, James continued, "In the future, I will establish a more stringent
set of rules and do the necessary evaluations. I'm glad that he's passionate about his work, but he
should not have thought that he was the best and gotten jealous of other people.

He had such a big ego that he made a mistake that not only led to a patient's death, but also ruined his
future. It's just not worth it. Are we clear?"

"Yes."

"Good. Before you start work, report to the director of your department."

"Okay."

"I will arrange for you to learn from Dr. Wu."



Upon hearing this, Rachel gasped in surprise. Dr. Wu was a very famous doctor who was highly
accomplished in his field.

The hospital had spent a fortune on hiring him.

Not only was he specialized in both cardiology and neurology, he had performed many successful
operations. Now, even though he was old, he spent three days a week at the hospital consulting
patients.

For a moment, Rachel was so happy that she didn't know what to say. But when reality hit her, she
said, "Dr. Wu will probably refuse to take me under his wing because of all my stupid questions."

James smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. That old man likes being asked questions. In fact,
the more questions you ask, the more he'll like you. He is also a strange person."

Rachel felt like it was too good to be true, so she just stayed silent.

Seeing that Rachel was still doubting herself, James continued, "Besides, Dr. Wu has been asking me
to find him a student. I couldn't think of anyone at first, but finally, I recommend you.

He looked through your resume and agreed, so I think he is quite satisfied with you. But no matter
what, you should give it a shot. You have nothing to lose."

Dr. Wu usually rejected everyone who wanted to be his student,

so it was a surprise that he had agreed to take Rachel under his wing.

Rachel finally agreed. She hadn't expected that she would get such a good opportunity as soon as she
returned to the hospital.



Over the years, she had received some certificates and also gotten the opportunity to perform some
important operations abroad, both as an assistant and as the chief doctor.

But here at home, the situation was a little different from when she was abroad.

Talent and skill weren't as important as experience. The older a doctor was, the more reliable they were
thought to be.

Her age and her lack of experience were the main reasons Rachel had applied to be transferred to the
emergency department.

Before that, James had asked Executive Fang to help Rachel get a promotion,

but Executive Fang had told him that it would be hard to promote someone who had no outstanding
achievement.

Nevertheless, he had arranged for her to be a doctor in charge because the previous person in that
position had left on maternity leave and they had urgently needed to someone to fill that position.

However, Rachel had only been in her early twenties at that time, so none of the other doctors or
patients respected her.

Since she was so young, they assumed that she wasn't a reliable doctor.

At the beginning, Rachel had been very ambitious, but soon, she had learned that there were two
different groups in the hospital, like in politics.

Her discomfort had kept growing and growing until the previous person in her position had finally
returned from her maternity leave.



At that time, she had decided to take the opportunity to be transferred to the emergency department.
There, she had worked hard while building up her credentials.

A while later, some of the employees in the hospital had been fired due to some disputes, but Rachel
had lost interest in getting promoted.

Now, she was just happy that she could return to her position.

The next day, she came back to the hospital and reported to the director. After completing the
paperwork and moving to her new office, she went to see Dr. Wu.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon, she received a call from Jack. As soon as she answered the phone, she heard him
congratulate her. "What's that for?" she asked, her face breaking into a wide smile.

Since she hadn't driven her car to work, she planned to take a taxi home.

"It's for you returning to work, of course," Jack replied.

Rachel curled her lips, stopping at the traffic light outside the hospital. "You're making it sound like I got
my job back after being suspended." On the other end of the line, Jack laughed. "Hey, I was just
congratulating you."

"Really? Maybe, but I didn't expect you to be such a dumb man," she teased. This was refreshingly out
of character for her, so naturally, Jack's curiosity was piqued.

Playing along, he asked, "And why is that? Dr. Rachel, was there anything wrong with my words?"

When the traffic light turned green, Rachel began walking across the road and said seriously, "Mr. Fu,
you are such a hypocrite."



Jack, who was driving his car, stopped at the red light and was about to retort when he saw a familiar
figure come into view.

"I'm a hypocrite?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.

"You should treat me to a meal rather than just saying congratulations," Rachel said seriously.

Jack smirked. "Okay then. Wait for me on the sidewalk."

Rachel, who had just finished crossing the road, threw a backward glance, but in the wrong direction.

"Turn the other way," Jack said, smiling.

Rachel turned around and immediately spotted the familiar car. Jack was sitting inside waving his hand
at her.

"Do you see me?" Jack asked.

"Of course," she replied with a laugh.

"Wait there. I'll be there soon."

In fact, Jack had planned to pick Rachel up at the hospital, but since she had come out by herself, he
had to turn the around.

Rachel's heart fluttered as she watched Jack's car slowly turn and drive away. About five minutes later,
it finally came back into view.

When the car slowed down in front of her, she quickly opened the door and got in.

As she fastened her seat belt, Jack asked with a sly smile on his lips, "What do you think? Was I fast
enough?"



"I didn't expect you to come here," Rachel mumbled.

As he drove, Jack said, "I had to rush over here because someone asked me to treat her to a meal."

Rachel tilted her head. "So, which fancy restaurant are you taking me to?"

Jack rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "You know what, this is my first date with a doctor. I don't know where
to take you." Then, raising his eyebrows as if something had just dawned on him, he said, "How about
going to a hospital-themed restaurant? I heard that one just opened recently, but it's a little scary."

"Oh, I'm used to eating right after seeing blood and dead bodies. But I don't know if you'll have a good
appetite," Rachel teased.

Not one to back down, Jack said, "Okay, let's give it a try then. I've never eaten in a place like that
before!"

Rachel didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Recently, he had been getting weirder and weirder.

Before they could discuss it further, they were interrupted by a phone call from Henry.

After talking to Henry, Jack turned the car and headed toward a restaurant that he had suggested.

When they got there, they ran into Michael and Marcus, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. Marcus
had just happened to walk out of the washroom, rolling up his sleeves with his wet hands.
