Chapter 280 About Work

Rachel flushed. "Why should I tell you if I agree with Lea or not? It's not as if we have a kid."

"We'll have one, right?" He chuckled.

There was silence for a while before she finally spoke up. "Have we discussed this?"

She felt as if the topic of having a child just popped out of the blue. In fact, she didn't remember that they talked about this.

He bowed his head to hide the slyness flashing in his eyes. "We already talked about it," he stated. "You must've forgotten."

"When did I..." Rachel trailed off. She really couldn't remember talking to him about having a child. Was it possible that it was part of her memory loss as well?

Jack tilted his head slightly as if he had just received a premonition. "You told me that one time that you really like children."

'That's it?' She shot him a disapproving look. "I thought we actually had a serious discussion about this before."

Back then, she had thought that Lea only agreed to marry Henry because they were going to have a baby.

When in fact, Lea had told her that she actually agreed to marry him because she actually liked him, not because she was forced into a loveless marriage. Lea didn't want to trap herself in a marriage all because of her child.

In such a way, Rachel shared the same thoughts. She didn't want her child to be the reason why she shouldn't leave the man in front of her. She

k averted his gaze.

"If you feel bored, you can find another job, but you shouldn't go back to the hospital," he said.

He couldn't agree to send her back to the hospital when he still didn't know the root cause of what had happened back in the neighboring province.

Rachel might have already forgotten about that, but he didn't.

He would not rest until he found out what really happened back there.

"I've already been transferred to the cardiology department. I won't be that busy,"

she insisted.

"Can't you just be obedient, Rachel?"

Eric stood up anxiously.

Rachel twitched her mouth and said, "I know what I'm doing."

She didn't expect that her troublesome cousin would be the first one to tell her to be obedient.

Eric sighed and patted Jack on his shoulder. "Try to persuade her. I'm going outside to eat something first."

He had been so busy during lunch that he didn't get to eat much.

He had been hoping to eat with Rachel, but seeing this, that might not be possible anymore.

Jack took her hand. "Let's go upstairs."

His forehead was creased as he held her up the stairs. Although he wasn't looking at her, she could tell that he was serious.

In the study, Jack opened the website and pointed at the headline. "This is from the medical school you were in before. They're looking for a professor in cardiology department," he stated.
