Chapter 261 Did You Have A Ligation Operation

Seeing that Jack intended to keep pursuing this topic, Tracy quickly put a stop to it. "Your father is
worried about Rachel. Don't ask any more questions."

Jonathan hummed in agreement.

Realizing that he might end up irritating his father if he continued to ask questions, Jack shut his mouth.

Tracy glared at her husband and complained in her heart, 'Humph, you treat someone else's child
much better than you treat your own son.'

But then, she remembered that Jonathan had once said that he wanted Jack and Tracy make
decisions by themselves.

A sense of anxiety rose in her heart as Celine's words flashed in her mind. She looked at her son
thoughtfully.

She suspected it was true that he had had a ligation operation, but she had yet to ask Jack about it.

For the past few days, Jack had been worried sick about Rachel since she was not in a good condition.
Therefore, Tracy had suppressed her worries as best as she could so as to not make trouble for her
son.

But now that Rachel had recovered, Tracy thought it was time to ask him about it.

When Rachel came out of the doctor's office, Jonathan went up to her and started talking to her. Tracy
decided to seize this opportunity and hurriedly took Jack out to the quiet balcony.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why did you bring me here?" Jack asked in confusion. His mother rarely
had such a serious expression on her face.



As Tracy thought of the question she wanted to ask him, she felt herself getting a headache.

She didn't know how to start the conversation.

And if Celine's words turned out to be true, she didn't know how to scold him for doing such a stupid
thing.

After mentally preparing herself, Tracy put her hand on the balcony railing and asked coldly, "Did you
have a ligation operation?"

Jack was initially astonished to hear this, but he gradually stiffened and looked at his mother in a daze.
He had never expected these words to come out of her mouth.

All this time, he had been worried about how to tell Rachel about his secret. And now, it turned out that
his mother already knew about it!

Tracy, who was carefully watching the expression on his face, felt her heart drop when she saw the
guilt in his eyes.

So it was true. She fell back all of a sudden,

feeling dizzy with anger and shock.

"Mom! Mom!" Jack hurriedly reached out and supported her before she could hit the floor.

When her senses snapped back into places, Tracy was so enraged that she raised her hand to slap
him. But when her hand was halfway to his cheek, she thought better of it and withdrew it.

Then, she pushed him away and staggered to her feet. "Don't call me 'Mom'!" Jack's face turned pale,
and his lips trembled. Seeing how angry and upset she was, he didn't dare to open his mouth or get
close to her.



'What a stupid child! I can find out everything from just his expressions,'

Tracy thought to herself.

The mixture of pain, hatred, resentment, and anger she felt blurred her vision.

She hated herself for not educating her son well.

Jack had never given her reason to worry during his childhood. And until recently, she had thought that
he had grown up to be a mature and reliable man.

So, she had never imagined that he would do such a stupid thing. She was so angry that she wanted to
beat him with a stick!

Even though she had suspected that Celine's words were true, she was still not able to believe it.

Jack finally stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Mom, who told you that?"

Tracy gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Is that important? Give me an explanation!"

In the end, she couldn't help hitting him hard on the shoulder and cursing at him. "Stupid boy! You
bastard! How could you do this? Tell me! What were you thinking? You father will beat you to death if
he finds out."

Jack clenched his jaw and stayed still, letting her hit him freely.

"Are you going to cut off the Fu family tree? You bastard! I shouldn't have spoiled you!" Feeling that he
had allowed her to sufficiently vent her anger, Jack raised his hands and touched her shoulders. As a
vortex of feelings swirled within him, he apologized in a low voice,

"Mom, I'm sorry."



"Sorry?" Tracy scoffed. "Why are you saying sorry to me now? Were you out of your mind back then?
Does Rachel know about this?" Face turning pale, Jack slowly released his mother from his grip and
stammered,

"No...she doesn't..."

Tracy merely sneered at him in response. After a momentary pause, she asked, "So you had the
ligation for that woman?" She spat the last word in disgust.

Jack just looked at her silently, not denying it.

Tracy felt her headache sharpening. She closed her eyes and waved her hand. "I don't care anymore!
Whatever! You can marry whoever you like! Your father won't force you to be with Rachel either!"

Jack felt a rush of anxiety all of a sudden. "Mom, I just want to be with Rachel now."

Tracy sneered again. "That depends on what Rachel wants."

She opened her eyes and looked at her son. She wanted to scold him some more, but she had already
run out of words. How could her son be so stupid?

He was saying that he wanted to be with Rachel, but he had had an affair with another woman.
Although most of the men of the Fu family didn't have a clean conscience, none of them had ever been
so shameless in their relationships before.

Tracy couldn't bear to talk to her son about his marriage anymore.

"Whatever. I really can't help you anymore," she said simply.

"Mom, it's all in the past. It's not impossible to reverse a ligation," Jack said hurriedly.



"Are you going to have that operation now? Do you plan on having a child with Rachel?" Tracy asked
seriously in a low voice, frowning.

Jack was speechless. He had indeed given some thought to having a baby with Rachel.

However, their relationship was not stable yet. Besides, while Rachel had become more and more
important in his heart, he still didn't know how she felt about him.

Under such circumstances, he didn't think that it was a good idea for them to have a child at this time.

It would only worsen things if he brought up the idea of having a baby to Rachel now.

They could not choose to have a child so rashly.

With all these thoughts swirling in his head, Jack didn't answer Tracy's question immediately, finding it
hard to put it into words. However, Tracy mistakenly assumed that her son didn't intend to have a baby
with Rachel.

This only made her angrier. She cursed him under her breath, and then suddenly shouted, "What do
you think of Rachel, huh?" At this moment, she really felt sorry for Rachel.

People like Jack couldn't have bullied her if her family members were still alive.

"Your father said that he wouldn't intervene in your business anymore," Tracy said dejectedly.

Jack's heart missed a beat, but his mother continued, "It's not about who you want to be with anymore.
If Rachel wants to leave, she can. Both your father and I are on her side."

Jack froze, feeling as if a loud bell was ringing in his head.



"As you know, the biggest reason why Rachel was willing to put up with this marriage was because she
wanted to obey your father. She is a good girl," Tracy added.

Even as she said this, she felt ashamed of herself and her son. Rachel was such a good girl, but in
return, how had her son treated her? It was like the Fu family had pushed her into hell.

When her son had married Rachel, Tracy had been aggrieved because she had thought that Rachel
wasn't worthy of him. But now, it was the opposite.

"If she doesn't want to be with you anymore..." Tracy looked at her son and didn't finish her words.

Jack's emotions were painfully evident on his face, even after he went back into the ward and sat down
next to Rachel.

Rachel found that Jack had become increasingly nervous around her ever since she had recovered her
eyesight.

Sometimes when she turned her head to look at Jack, she found him staring at her blankly.

Now, seeing his face as pale as a ghost, she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of him and tease,
"Back to earth, Jack."

Jack suddenly jerked back to reality and grabbed her hand tight.

Rachel's smile faded a little. "What's wrong with you?"

Coming back to his senses, Jack forced a smile and said in a low voice, "Nothing."

But the nervous look on his face and his strange behavior made it obvious that there was something
wrong.

"Did you do something bad?" she joked, crossing her arms over her chest.



Jack frowned, and a hint of sadness quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Would you believe me if I said no?" he asked seriously.

He looked as if he was desperately looking for a lifeline.

His question took root in the bottom of Rachel's heart. Dropping all pretense of joking around, she
asked seriously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so strange all of a sudden?"

Jack forced a smile at her. "I don't know either. I don't know what's wrong with me..."

His promises and commitments seemed no longer trustworthy. Instead, he was always break his own
promises.

All his words turned out to be a joke.

He wasn't in the mood to find out who had told his mother about his ligation, but he already knew the
answer in his mind.

But anyway, it was not the right time to confront that person. He stayed up all night, staring longingly at
Rachel's face.

The voice in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't want to lose the woman in front of
him.
