Chapter 35 Lucas Is Back

Rachel came back and said, "Tell me the truth. Did you know that something would happen to me?"

Jack stood quietly for a long moment, saying nothing. Rachel stared at him in the eye, waiting for an answer. Eventually she ran out of patience. She waved her hand and said, "Forget about it."

Rachel turned around primly and walked away. It was not until her figure disappeared across the road that Jack withdrew his gaze and went inside.

The situation became clearer two days later. Rachel was told that these people were hired to deal with Jack. Their purpose was to kidnap her and threaten Jack.

The man behind this had run away, and the police were trying to catch him. Rachel thanked Jonny and hung up.

After that, Jack did not come to her again, nor did he explain clearly.

Rachel stayed quiet for a few days to think it through. She was not angry about being kidnapped. She was angry that Jack had approached her for some evil purpose. It made her feel so distressed and foolish.

A few days later, Jonny called and said that the main culprit had been captured, and mentioned that Jack knew about it. Jack was ready to visit the police station. Jonny asked if she would come and learn about the situation.

Hearing that, Rachel refused. She wanting nothing to do with this matter now. She would let Jack deal with it himself, and she wouldn't get involved.

After resting for two or three days, Rachel went back to the hospital. When she was making the rounds, she found Mendes' pl

ing. He was a little scared to see a man suddenly squatting in front of him.

Lucas' heart softened. He extended his hand to him and said, "You can come out now, big guy, okay?"

Celia was not a very mature person. She was little more than a child herself, so how could she take care of such a naughty little troublemaker?

She had hardly ever felt the warmth of love from her family. With her sad childhood, being in charge of Mendes was not easy for her.

The marriage of her parents was not a love match. They were courteous to each other. They didn't quarrel with each other, but they didn't love each other either. Her father was busy with his work, and her mother didn't pay much attention to her.

However, after her mother died, her father brought back his illegitimate child, Mendes. Celia had sometimes envied Mendes, thinking that he would receive more love from their father.

What Celia minded most was not that her father had an affair, and that his affair resulted in an illegitimate child.

Celia envied the boy immensely. But she was an adult, and had passed the age when she needed the warmth of a father's love.

She never imagined that her father would abandon his child and went abroad to work. To make matters worse, Mendes was injured in the kindergarten. His nanny had no contact, so she had to call Celia.

Then Celia found out that the boy's mother couldn't be reached. She didn't know who broke off the relationship first. Was it was Mendes' mother, or his father?
