Rachel had been used to Jack's hugging her from behind, so she didn't mind it anymore.
"Why are you home so late?" she asked lightly.
He hesitated for a while before he answered, "Something came up at work, so I had to stay at the company longer. I didn't notice that my phone ran out of battery. Sorry if I worried you."
He just met Celine to take back his phone, so he thought it wasn't necessary to let Rachel know about it.
Rachel turned off the stove and filled the bowl with the dish she prepared. Then said, "Just make sure that this won't happen again."
"I swear."
Jack glanced at the table. There were different dishes like vegetables, sweet and sour spare ribs, and fish head with tofu. There was still another one that she had just finished cooking. They all looked good and smelled delicious.
He couldn't help asking, "You cooked all these for me?"
Rachel turned her head to catch a glance at the table and said mischievously, "Of course not. These are all mine."
All of a sudden, she felt a slight pain on her nape that made her shiver.
Jack was already behind her, gently biting her slender neck. He said, "If that's the case, I have no choice but to eat the cook."
Her laughter reverberated in the whole kitchen.
She felt ticklish, so she dodged and pretended to scold him, "Stop it!"
Eric suddenly came in to be in time to witness such an affectionate scene. With a long face, he asked, "What are you doing?"
He acted like a
closed her eyes, turned away, and cried silently.
The nurse walked up to him and patted his shoulder softly. "Sir, the doctor is here. Please stay outside first, so she can check your wife."
Rachel did all the necessary examinations and laboratory tests carefully. With the results in her hand, she said unhappily, "Your heart is in a really bad condition now. If you choose to keep the baby, I'm afraid that..."
Before she could finish her words, Gigi Yang grabbed her hand tightly and cried. She pleaded, "Doctor, please, I don't want to lose my baby. It is a gift from God, so I can't just abandon it."
Her heart ached when she heard her words. But with the reality in front of her, she needed to be sensible.
Rachel drew her hand back gently and walked out of the room. Before she left, she talked to the husband who was approaching her. "With her current condition, your wife is not suitable to get pregnant. If she insists on keeping the baby, we can't guarantee that she'll surpass the delivery.
She is only three months pregnant now, so you have to decide soon. If the baby gets bigger, it will be more difficult for her heart to bear."
"I know that, but..." He rubbed his forehead as he was in a dilemma. "Doctor, is there no other way?"
Rachel shook her head and said, "I suggest that you try your best to persuade her. I've already asked a nurse to arrange a room for her. Based on her current condition, I need to observe her for a few more days."
