Chapter 314 Send Bill To The Airport

It had been a long time since Rachel had felt like this. She had thought that she could remain calm and
rational no matter what, but she had once again become like a teenager after spending just a little time
with Jack.

Hadn't she learned anything from the past?

The cleaning lady of the hospital walked into Rachel's office with a watering can to water the plants, but
when she saw Rachel there, she suddenly stopped in surprise.

Rachel's shift hadn't started yet. "Dr. Shen, why have you come so early today?" she asked.

"I have something to deal with," Rachel replied.

"Is it because of Dr. Zhou?"

Almost everyone in the hospital knew that Rachel and Lucas were close friends.

Upon hearing this question, Rachel frowned. "What do you mean? Did something happen to him?"

The cleaning lady stopped what she was doing and looked at Rachel with her eyes wide open. "Ah,
you don't know? There was a notice from the hospital that Dr. Zhou has been transferred to the
emergency department. His father is the one who issued the order in person."

Rachel shook her head in shock. She seldom checked the hospital's notice board.

She wondered why Lucas hadn't mentioned it to her.

She stood up in disbelief and quickly walked to the notice board. When she got there, sure enough, she
saw the transfer order for Lucas.



The emergency department could be said to be the busiest department in the hospital. On top of that,
only a preliminary examination and basic treatment could be done there. No doctor would be able to
improve their abilities there.

Besides, most doctors hoped that they could stay in the department they were good at.

Rachel knew very well that Lucas didn't want to work in the emergency department either.

So why had he suddenly been transferred there?

Shaking her head in disbelief, she dialed his number, but his phone had been turned off. Then, she
hurried to the emergency department to look for him, but he wasn't there.

After worrying about him the whole day, she considered whether she should go to his house to look for
him after work. Unexpectedly, she received a text from him. "You heard? Don't worry. I'll go to the
hospital the day after tomorrow. I'll explain everything then."

After reading the text, Rachel called him immediately, but his phone was turned off again.

Nevertheless, his text message set her mind at rest, and her worries lessened.

For the first time in his life, Jack felt that time passed at an excruciatingly slow pace.

He had waited nearly half an hour downstairs for Rachel only to be told by her neighbor that she had
gone out early.

Therefore, he could only wait till she was off duty to pick her up and have dinner with her.

The whole day, his mind was occupied by the prospect of seeing Rachel again, so when he saw that it
was finally almost time for her shift to end, he stood up to leave.



Austin happened to have a document for Jack to sign, but when he saw him packing his things up in a
hurry, he didn't know whether to give him the document or not. Instead, he froze in place.

Jack glanced at him and said, "Put it on my desk. I'll see you tomorrow." Then, he strode toward the
elevator.

Seeing this, Austin felt a little unsettled.

Over the past three years, Jack had been more like a working robot than a living man.

He had spent all his time and energy on MK Group without pausing to rest.

During that period, Austin had also suffered a lot.

But now, he was happy that he could put down the document and get off work early.

It was not easy to find a parking space in the rush hour after work. When Jack finally parked the car
and was about to get out, however, he suddenly saw Rachel and Bill getting into a car and leaving.

Rachel had been about to leave the hospital and go home when Bill had suddenly shown up at her
office with two movie tickets. "Are you interested in watching a movie with me?" he had asked.

The two of them had similar tastes in movies. In fact, Rachel had been waiting for this movie for a long
time and had planned to watch it during the weekend.

Two hours later, when they walked out of the theater, Rachel sighed contentedly. "It was a beautiful
movie."

"Rachel, if it were you, would you do the same thing?"

Bill asked, looking at her expectantly.



"What?" Rachel asked, not understanding what he meant.

"If you were the female lead of the movie, would you stay with him or leave him?"

In the movie, the male lead had advanced lung cancer. He hadn't wanted the female lead to see his
ugly appearance after the chemotherapy, so he had lied to her and left.

However, later, when the female lead found out the truth, she refused to go back to him.

At that moment, she had suffered so much abuse and insults from other characters. Even the people
sitting in the theater and watching the movie could not help but get angry at her.

At the end of the movie, the female lead had stood alone in front of the male lead's tomb within tears
running down her face and said, "You will always be the most handsome man in my heart."

Rachel hadn't expected that Bill would ask her such a question. She thought for a while and replied, "I
will be with him till the end of his life."

"You wouldn't mind his illness?" Bill asked nervously.

"Why should I mind? It's not like he chose to have an illness!" Rachel said with a soft smile. Bill stared
at her in a daze without replying, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Finally coming back to his senses, Bill smiled and said, "I'm going back to France tomorrow."

"Okay." Without thinking too much, Rachel patted Bill on the shoulder and said, "You've been here for a
long time. Andy must miss you so much."

Bill closed his eyes. "What about you? Will you miss me after I leave?"

His words were a little ambiguous, which made Rachel silent.



Bill's heart stung with a touch of disappointment. However, he exaggeratedly covered his chest with his
hand and said, "Rachel, I'm so sad. Can't you just say something nice to make me feel better?"

'Is he serious?' Rachel grumbled to herself, but she smiled.

"Okay, okay. I'll miss you. Stop acting like a child," she said out loud.

"Can you see me off at the airport tomorrow?" Bill asked immediately.

Rachel glanced at him in confusion. "Don't you have a driver?"

"I just want you to see me off, okay?" Standing at the door of the cinema theater, Bill held Rachel's arm
and began to act like a spoiled child.

Rachel often wondered about how old this man really was.

In the end, she had no choice but to agree. "Okay, I'll come and see you off. Can we go and eat
something now?"

Her stomach was growling in hunger.

When Jack came back home from the hospital, he was in a bad mood.

After smoking three or four cigarettes in a row, he received a call from Michael. "Where are you?"

"Why?" Jack asked.

"Marcus is back. Let's have a drink together."

Marcus had been working on a project abroad for more than two months.

After thinking for a moment, Jack said, "Okay, I'm coming now."



It was easy to drown one's sorrows at a bar. After drinking several glasses of wine, Jack felt a lot better.

Michael put his hand on his shoulder and raised his eyebrows. "I heard that you have become a regular
visitor at the hospital again."

"Why, what's wrong?" Marcus asked. He didn't know what had happened and thought that there was
something wrong with Jack's health.

Michael raised his index finger and shook it. "Rachel's back."

Marcus nodded in understanding and sighed in his heart.

Over the past three years, Jack seemed to have become another person. He always had a blank
expression on his face and walked around like a zombie.

But now, Marcus could clearly sense the uneasiness and unhappiness surrounding Jack.

"Are you really going to chase her again? Do you need our help?" Michael asked.

At this moment, on a wooden chair behind them, Celine angrily tightened her grip on the wine glass in
her hand and heavily pounded it on the table. Some of the wine spilled on her dress, but she didn't care
at all.

She had come to this bar just a while ago to drink with her friends. She had never imagined that she
would happen to see Jack and his friends here, let alone that she would overhear them talking about
Rachel.

The next day at the airport, Rachel handed Bill's boarding ticket back to him. Seeing the sad look on
his face, she couldn't help laughing. "Didn't you say that you would be back in about a week? Why do
you look so upset now?"



"A week is a long time."

With a sigh, Bill spread his arms and gave Rachel a tight hug. "You must wait for me. I will come back
to you soon."

He wanted to say something more, but on second thought, he swallowed the words down.

"Don't be so childish. Time's up. You should go." Rachel smiled and patted him on the back. Bill
nodded and finally left.

She watched him walk away until he was out of sight, and then turned around to leave the airport. At
that moment, she froze, feeling like she had seen someone familiar. Her eyes flitted around the airport
but she couldn't find anyone she knew, so she shrugged it off and decided that she must have been
imagining things.

Celine quickly got into the car and sneered at the picture she had just taken on her phone.

She wouldn't show it to Jack now. After spending so many years with him, she knew him well. Instead
of making him resent Rachel, this photo would only arouse his desire to get her back even more.

Celine thought that she had to wait until the right time to play this card, but she didn't know that she
would never have the chance to take advantage of this photo.

Rachel was supposed to go to work in the afternoon, but she had to get up early again because she
had switched shifts with a doctor to see Bill off at the airport the day before.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the hospital, she saw Lucas walking toward her. "Lucas, you're
finally here."

Lucas nodded, "Yes. I'm a little busy in the emergency department now. I'll tell you everything at noon."



The emergency department was always so busy that the doctors working there didn't even have time to
drink a glass of water.
