Chapter 139 A Blind Date

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Lea poked Rachel gently to get her attention. "Why didn't you reply to him?"

Rachel snapped out of her stupor, turned to Lea and then frowned. "Why? Did he talk to me?" she asked and wondered what Lea meant.

"Yes. He spoke to you a few times, but you never responded to him. He probably felt embarrassed and went to the bathroom."

Rachel raised a hand to her forehead and massaged it slightly as she shook her head. There was silence as she tried to get her bearing back. She hesitated to give Lea a reply. She went there just to have a meal. She never expected that it would turn out like this.

The stranger opposite her stared at her with glittering eyes. Rachel had seen that kind of look many times before but she never knew what they actually meant.

Earlier during dinner, the man tried to start a conversation with Rachel, but whatever topic he brought up, she politely declined them all. And Lea could not understand what was wrong with her friend.

"Why don't you answer me?" Lea asked urgently. "So, do you like him or not?"

Rachel hesitated and thought about Lea's question. "What do you mean by liking him? Isn't he your friend?" she asked with a puzzled look.

"Yes, he is," Lea replied. "So, what do you think of him? He's single."

"Didn't you say that you like Henry?" Rachel asked her friend in confusion. She didn't get it.

Lea was confused. "What does it have to do with me and Henry?" she asked frowning. "I am asking for your opinion on him. Whether he's okay to you or not."

Rachel never understood what Lea meant until she saw the expression on face. As it turned out, Lea introduced her a blind date.

The realization of the situation brought mixed

d her that he would provide her with the result of the investigation once it was complete. Rachel suddenly remembered how Kevin's behavior was strangely odd. She wondered if Kevin indeed had done something wrong.

But she knew that she had no evidence so she shouldn't make assumptions about it.

"Dr. Kevin is being investigated. The hospital is being reorganized. I am personally taking care of most of the things here now. And I think that things are getting worse in the hospital right now."

Rachel listened to him attentively. Wherever there was light, there would always be darkness. But every gray area must be limited within the rule of order.

If one of the involved parties became too paranoid, things would easily go out of control.

"I am aware that you have been wronged recently. I have taken actions to correct this and took actions on some people in the hospital. I admire that you have a very good temper, but that doesn't mean that people can just bully you whenever they wanted," James explained in a serious tone of voice.

Rachel remembered that Cara came to apologize to her so she immediately understood what James meant with what he said.

They exchanged a few more words, and James finally ended the call.

She lost both her parents at a young age. But there were exceptionally nice people in her life that made sure she would be taken care of. Because of this, she never truly lost the life of a wealthy family even after she lost her parents because of these people.

She might have lost her family, but Jonathan, James and other people gave her the love and support that she needed. They taught her what she needed in place of her parents.

Because of this, Rachel was very grateful to them.
