Chapter 129 The Talk

Rachel didn't realize just how popular she was now. She spent the whole morning just dealing wave after wave of people.

Although she had already been officially transferred here, not all the necessary procedures had been finalized because of the events of the past few days.

After everyone had left, she filled a glass with water. She was about to take a sip when she heard a knock on the door.

She sighed and put the glass down. She turned around and her eyes widened when she saw the man standing by the door.

"Uncle James," she greeted him happily.

"Why are you here?"

"Something has happened at the hospital. So I came back to deal with it."

Rachel understood what he meant. James looked at his watch and said, "By the way, it's almost time for dinner. How about we go downstairs and have dinner together?"

Although he had known the whole story, James still did not believe what Executive Fang had told him.

He had not expected Rachel to be involved in this kind of issue. But he never doubted her.

Right now, he simply wanted to know what Rachel thought about the incident. Besides, he already had someone check the story out. When it came to matters involving the hospital, James gave it his all.

In addition to Rachel being taken away the previous day, another thing shocked people.

They hadn't known that Rachel was a married woman.

The day before, many had been watching. After the man who had claimed to be Rachel

ling of humiliation began to consume her.

Amused, Lucas said, "Don't get too excited. My father doesn't bite." He stood up, grabbed his phone, and said, "Wait here. I'm going to call him back. I'll only be a moment."

Claris nodded. As soon as Lucas had walked away, she slumped over the table.

She was far from excited. In fact, she was worried that James had heard the waiter refer to Lucas as her boyfriend.

Her face turned crimson with embarrassment. She had asked Lucas out today as an excuse to spend some time together. He had seemed to have been avoiding her.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had something that he needed her to do, he would not have accepted her invitation.

Without Lucas' knowledge, she had told the waiter that he was her boyfriend.

Although she liked Lucas, she was not brazen enough to introduce him to people as her boyfriend while he was right there.

Claris was afraid that Lucas's father would tell him what he had heard.

Seeing Lucas talking on the phone made her anxious. After some thought, she made a decision. When he returned, she would confess to him.

She didn't think it was a big deal. She believed that Lucas would understand.

Claris shuffled restlessly in her seat. After a while, he returned. He didn't look so good.

She was about to ask him about it when he said, "Sorry, I can't accompany you today. I have to go."

She stood up without realizing it and asked, "What happened?"
