Chapter 31 Encounter

Now that she was crying, Celine sounded less like she was questioning Jack and more like behaving in a spoiled manner. As a result, the coldness in Jack's eyes finally died down.

Jack reached out and held Celine in his arms, coaxing her as he always did when she was sad and in tears. He patted her on the back gently and whispered in her ear, "I didn't sleep well last night, that's why I'm in a bad mood today. Don't be angry."

Meanwhile, at the hospital, a chubby boy called out, "Pretty Rachel..."

Feeling the boy move in her arms, Rachel patted him on his butt and warned, "Mendes, don't move, or else the needle will prick you in the wrong place."

The young boy turned around and saw a nurse holding a glittering needle and smiling at him like a witch. With a shiver, he turned back to Rachel's arms, grabbed her clothes, and begged pathetically, "Rachel, you give me the injection, please! I don't want to get it from this witch."

The nurse, Celia Xu, closed her eyes and took a deep breath to control her impatience and said,

"Fatty, come here!"

"Oh, no! The witch is coming!" As the chubby boy in her arms pretended to cry, Rachel had to hold his chest with one hand to prevent him from squishing his broken arm.

Celia gnashed her teeth in anger.

Rachel patted the boy's butt again and smiled. "No more kidding, or we'll have to give you two injections."

However, the

hurt! Does he really think that I won't teach him a lesson?' Celia grumbled to herself inwardly.

Rachel tightened her grip on Mendes, afraid that he would slip out of her arms when he became too excited.

She hastily nodded to Jack and said, "Carry on then. I'm going to take this patient back first."

Then, she turned to Celia. "Celia, I'll take care of Mendes. Please continue with your work."

"Okay." Celia shot one last curious glance at Jack before leaving. Then, Rachel began walking away with the boy in her arms.

But it seemed that she had underestimated his weight once again! She had barely taken a few steps when he began slipping out of her arms.

She was unable to hold him as she walked even if she leaned back a little.

She stopped and tried to bounce him up higher into her arms, but to no avail. She was already starting to feel out of breath. "Mendes, shall we take a walk downstairs?"

Mendes shook his head immediately. Feeling her body shaking, Rachel said helplessly, "Okay, okay. Please don't move, okay?"

It was definitely time for this boy to lose weight!

She was trying her best to carry him back to his ward when she heard the familiar voice behind her say, "Let me do it."

The man walked up and took the boy into his arms.

Unexpectedly, the boy who had refused to be carried by Celia allowed himself to be held by Jack without a word of protest.
