Chapter 36 Discharged From Hospital

Celia and Mendes' father was indifferent to his children. After the boy had broken his arm, their father had just stayed by the boy's side for two days before flying abroad.

Celia had asked the old man where Mendes' mother was, but he just said he didn't know.

Celia could not hold back her tears any longer. Thinking about Mendes made her feel driven to a corner. It was not until Rachel comforted her that Celia gradually stopped crying.

While Celia calmed down, she began to tell Rachel about the phone call.

The phone call was from Celia's father, asking about Mendes.

Celia had asked him to come back to bring Mendes home or give him to his mother.

To her surprise, her father had bluntly denied her request. It had angered Celia to the point that she had threatened to hand over the boy to an orphanage.

But her father had said she could do whatever she wanted. He could care less about the boy.

At the state that she was in, Celia thought she wasn't qualified to take care of Mendes, but there was no way that she could just leave him alone or let the nanny take care of him.

To add insult to injury, Mendes was not obedient to her. Celia felt helpless.

After learning the truth, Rachel brushed aside the strands of Celia's hair that strayed on her face and said, "Don't worry. You know who Mendes' mother is, right?"

Celia shook her head. "I know who she is. I just don't know where she's from." Her voice was still a little shaky.

Rachel continued comforting her and said, "I'm having dinner with Dr. Zhou later. If Me

ured.

Fortunately, Mendes just fell down and his palms were a little grazed, but he was relatively fine. Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, her hands and feet cold.

Everything happened so fast. If the black car had driven a little faster or the driver had stepped on the brakes a second later, she would not have forgiven herself for what could have happened to Mendes.

Mendes was sobbing uncontrollably. It was not surprising. He had just experienced something traumatizing.

The car behind him turned off. The driver got out of his car and hurried towards them. "Is the child safe? Rachel?" It was Henry. His voice was still jittery. He was obviously out of his wits.

Following Henry out of the car, Marcus recognized that the child they had almost hit was the one he saw with Rachel in the restaurant.

'What a coincidence!' he thought to himself.

Rachel turned around and saw the two of them in a daze. She didn't recognize them right away.

At the sight of her slightly puzzled eyes, Henry knew that she didn't recognize them. He stepped forward, squatted down and checked if the kid was injured. Then he introduced himself. "I'm Henry Qin, and the one behind me is Marcus Ji. Don't you remember us?"

Rachel was surprised to see them, she remembered that they were good friends of Jack.

Marcus squatted down as well to check on Mendes. The boy was buried into Lucas' arms, shivering in fear.

Lucas rolled up the boy's left trouser to check for wounds. As expected, there was a bruise on Mendes' knee, a red mark and exposed skin.
