Chapter 214 Ligation

As Jack stepped out of the shower, he noticed that Rachel was drying her hair.

He approached her slowly. She looked up at him and continued nonchalantly.

He grabbed the towel and said, "Let me do this for you."

She stared at the mirror attentively to check how he was carefully helping her wipe her hair. They looked like any other couple with a bond extending to many decades.

After having done half the task, he sought refuge in the hair dryer to complete his task. His method was a little clumsy but gentle.

He could feel her aroma filling the room as he put the hair dryer back to its place.

There was a sudden change in his mood. After seeing the pregnancy test kit, he suddenly remembered something.

Jack wasn't entirely sure of telling her about this, so he turned to look at her and said,

"Rachel, you..." He paused abruptly as he ran out of words.

He wanted to know if Rachel wished for a baby.

Jack concealed something from her.

He had already done a ligation operation years ago.

He did it for Celine's sake. During that time, he couldn't marry Celine and she was frustrated about it. He also had perpetual disputes with her due to Rachel.

He couldn't bear Celine's tears. He was grief-stricken because of it. On the third day when he returned, he showed her that ligation certificate.

For a man, this was not a petty matter.

He had concealed the truth from everyone. None but the surgeon and Celine were aware of it.

If his father ever got a whiff of it, the consequences would have been

soms.

Men almost always looked at her chest intentionally or unintentionally. As for Baron Hu, he was so proud of his woman because she always attracted others' attention.

It was a significantly different attitude when compared to Jack. He'd never allow his woman to show up in this way and let others stare at her in public.

Celine had frequently raised her complaints to Rona about his overbearing attitude in private.

In contrast with Baron Hu, Celine realized that Jack was a good man.

When Baron Hu saw an old acquaintance, he walked towards him and completely ignored her. Celine heaved a euphoric sigh of relief.

She sneaked into a quiet corner and found that her shoes didn't fit her feet. She was in excruciating pain, but Baron Hu didn't notice it at all.

Resentment filled her heart as Celine raised her eyebrows. The man she both hated and loved, just appeared in front of her, arm in arm with another woman.

It was the third time that Rachel was attending a banquet with Jack. Considering the ominous history of the occurrence of an undesirable event every time she accompanied him,

she remained alert throughout her time in the banquet hall because she was afraid that history would repeat itself. Luckily, everything had gone perfectly until now.

This was a groundbreaking appearance for her because this was the first time she was formally being introduced as Jack's wife.

Before they entered the hall with all the glory and pomp, Jack had held her hands and asked softly, "Rachel, are you afraid?"
