Chapter 292 Rachel Found Out

Eric ultimately decided to make himself a cup of coffee after he yawned a second time.

"It's quite late, Rachel. Did you have a fight with Jack?" He always felt that Jack was not a reliable guy
when it came to relationships.

'A leopard cannot change its spots.

It has only been a short time, and he has already started to show his true colors,' he thought.

"Rachel, I'm telling you, it's not too late to leave him and look for a better man. You should divorce him
as soon as possible! And you don't have to worry. I have a stable job now. I can take care of you from
now on!"

Eric thumped on his chest as he gave her his solemn promise.

When she heard his words, Rachel couldn't help laugh out loudly. "It's good that you now have a stable
job because that means you don't need to bother me in the future."

"I am a responsible man now!" Eric felt that it was rare for him to have something to brag about to
Rachel and he couldn't stop himself from feeling proud about it.

But his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when his phone rang.

As soon as he answered the call on his phone, the sound of Jack's voice came out loudly. "Open the
door!"

Jack's voice through Eric's phone was loud enough to be heard by Rachel.

'He's here already?' Eric thought to himself.

"I'm sleeping," he answered back to Jack on the phone. He then hung up the phone afterwards.



Eric then grabbed Rachel's arm and pushed her into the bedroom. "Go to bed now, Rachel. You still
need to go to work tomorrow," he suggested. But she pushed him back gently.

"Go to sleep. Let me open the door," she said calmly.

Rachel originally planned to stay at Eric's place so that she and Jack could calm down.

When the two of them were angry, nothing they said sounded rational, anyway.

But she never expected Jack to go to her this fast.

She ignored Eric's dissuasion and went to the front door to open it. The strong smell of alcohol greeted
her as she opened the door. "Do you want to explain to me what the photo was all about?" she asked.

"Yes."

Jack took a deep breath and steadied himself in front of Rachel. "It's a misunderstanding, Rachel."

Rachel stepped aside to let him in. She then motioned for Eric to get in his room.

"Rachel, I never asked anyone to follow you and take photos of you. I don't know who took this photo
and sent it to my phone. I've had this investigated, but I haven't found out who is responsible for this
yet,"

Jack explained as he stared straight into Rachel's eyes.

At that time, he panicked when she asked him to explain and didn't know what to say.

He regretted having drunk too much. This made him look insincere at all.

Rachel stared back at him for a while in silence. She was about to say something, but something
unexpected happened. Jack fell over to the floor and fell asleep because of drunkenness.



When Jack finally woke up, it was already noon of the next day.

He rubbed his fingers against his aching temples and then looked around.

"So you're finally awake!" Eric said as he walked into the room.

'Am I in Eric's apartment?' Jack thought to himself.

He slowly recalled what happened the evening before. "Where is Rachel?"

"She already left. I would have thrown you down the balcony while you were sleeping if it weren't for
Rachel's sake!" Eric said as he watched Jack.

He didn't really plan to do it, but he felt that he had to say it anyway.

It was just a joke.

Jack would normal talk back, but he was just not in the mood. He got up quietly and dragged himself
out of Eric's apartment without another word.

He felt much more sober after he took a shower at home.

Now that his mind was clearer, he quickly understood that the key to solving their problem was to find
the person who kept sending pictures to him. It was obvious that this person's purpose was to put a
strain on his relationship with Rachel.

And it seemed like the plan was a success.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rachel made a few mistakes as she was distracted.

A nurse approached her and asked gently, "Rachel, are you feeling okay? We never believe any of the
online rumors. So, stop worrying about them."



She concluded that Rachel's current state had something to do with the rumors on the Internet.

Rachel shook her head and smiled.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just couldn't seem to cheer herself up no matter
what she did.

She hated herself for the mistakes she had made, but at the same time, she also felt strange. All she
could think of all this time was Jack.

Whether what he said was true or not,

the photo that was sent to him represented a problem—there was an extreme lack of trust between the
two of them.

At a cafe

"Miss Duan, I have finished my task. It's time for you to transfer the payment for my task to my bank
account."

Celine worked on her phone for some time and then replied with a smile, "Check your account. And
remember, never tell anyone about this. No one should know. No one. Got it?"

"Don't worry. I won't."

The man left silently afterwards. Celine also stood up and left the cafe half an hour after the man left.

She raised her head proudly as she walked the streets. She saw large billboards of the MK Group in
several key places of the city as she walked.

She felt that it wouldn't be long before she would replace Rachel and become the CEO's wife.



While she lost herself in the daydream, an out of control motorcycle rushed towards her at an
extremely fast speed.

"Get out of the way! My brakes are broken!" the motorcycle driver shouted out as his motorcycle sped
through the road.

But Celine was too caught up in her daydream to react immediately to the approaching motorcycle.
When she finally got her head out of the clouds and back to reality, she found herself already in the
hospital and lying on a hospital bed.

"Rachel, this patient was just transferred here from emergency department. Her chest was hit by a
speeding motorbike. The other injuries on her body have been treated already."

'What a coincidence!' the nurse thought to herself.

She still remembered how this patient spoke ill of Rachel in the hospital before. And there was no way
that she'd ever forget that moment.

But the nurse never expected that Celine would be sent back to the hospital after just a few days, and
that she'd be assigned to Rachel.

Rachel read the name on the medical record, and it made her sigh. She silently shook her head as she
pondered on how unlucky she was lately.

But duty was duty, and this much was clear to her.

She pressed Celine's chest at two different locations, then turned to her and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Celine was not feeling too good, so she was a lot more cooperative than usual. "No, it doesn't hurt."

"How about here?"



"That hurts."

Rachel wrote down some notes on Celine's medical record and then asked the nurse to take her for an
X-ray. But as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly felt so bad that she felt like she had
to throw up. She quickly put down the things in her hands, covered her mouth and quickly ran to the
nearest restroom.

The nurses in the ward were all stunned and looked at each other in surprise.

When they got over their initial surprise, they began to talk with each other.

"Is Rachel pregnant?"

"She looks nauseous. It seems that she is."

"I think so. That's how I was when I was pregnant. Rachel and her husband love each other so much.
It's about time for her to get pregnant."

Celine's blood boiled as she heard the nurses talk about Rachel. She gritted her teeth and screamed at
them, "You're on duty and you need to focus on taking care of patients not talk about gossips! Shouldn't
you be taking me to have an X-ray now?"

Rachel vomited almost everything that she had for lunch. She gargled with a mouthwash before she
came out of the restroom.

She suddenly remembered that she was not able to finish her instructions to the nurse before she ran
to the restroom. When she got back to the ward, she saw that Celine already completed her X-ray, and
the nurse was in the middle of giving her a saline injection.



"Are you feeling better, Rachel?" The nurse approached her as she entered the ward with concern
painted on her face.

"Yes, I'm feeling better now," Rachel answered with a smile.

The nurse smiled at her.

"That's good. Rachel.

Maybe you can have an examination to determine if you are pregnant."

Rachel was about to explain, but she suddenly stopped when she saw that Celine was sneering.

The nurse was startled.

Celine pointed at the nurse and said, "Leave us. I have something to talk to Rachel alone."

"It's okay. You can leave us," Rachel said to the nurse in a reassuring tone. The nurse nodded back to
her and quietly left the room.

"I heard that you are probably pregnant, Rachel. I suppose congratulations are in order. But I don't
know whose baby that is," Celine said with a sneer.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked with a mark of confusion in her face. It was confusion mixed with
anger.

"Nothing. I just feels a little strange. How did you get pregnant when Jack can't get anyone pregnant?

Therefore, the only explanation is that your child can't possibly be his.

Oh, and by the way, I know you're wondering why he can't have a baby. That's because he had
vasectomy so that he wouldn't get me pregnant!"



Celine explained as the surprised look on Rachel increased with each word that left her lips.

Celine started to think that she should thank the person on the motorcycle who hit her and sent her to
the hospital. Because of that accident, she got into the middle of a great opportunity to throw that bomb
right at the center of Rachel's heart.

She must feel very bad right now.

Later that day, Jack and Rachel sat side by side on the sofa. She was busy with her head bent down as
she flipped through a women's magazine. She had an indifferent expression on her face. He reached
out to her hair and tucked it behind her ear. He then handed her an apple that he just peeled.

"Tell me, is it delicious?"

Jack placed the fruit knife down on the table and watched her bite into the apple.

Rachel nodded at him as she chewed down the apple, but she put aside the rest of it. She then slightly
turned towards him and looked at him straight in the eye. "You fell asleep when you were halfway to
what you were saying. Do you want to clarify that?"

She has her mind made up on something and she was determined about it at that moment.

But before he could answer, she continued to speak. "Last Wednesday, when you attended a dinner, I
went to Lucas' house for dinner too because his father had invited me for dinner previously. I wanted
you to go with me, but when I found out about your schedule for that evening, I decided not to mention
it to you anymore."

It was something that obviously tore at his heart so she wanted to explain it clearly to him.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong.



Jack's jaw became visibly tense as he tried to recall the details of that conversation between the two of
them. The details of the conversation slowly became clearer to him as he thought about them.

She stared at him for a moment and then continued to speak. "I know I should have told you about it
from the very beginning, but I didn't and it's my fault. I was not considerate enough."

Even though they had been married, she had lived as a single woman for five years.
