Chapter 341 Wait Patiently

The director patted his protruding belly and smirked. "It's great of you to think so!" he praised. "Go home and pack your stuff. You can leave for the airport later in the afternoon."

After packing up her clothes and toiletries, Rachel boarded the flight to the capital city. What she didn't know that at the same time, Jack had just returned to her apartment. When he got to the bathroom, he noticed that all of her things were gone.

The memories of what had happened three years ago resurfaced in his mind.

His shoulders shook faintly as he blinked rapidly. "No. It can't be," he murmured to himself.

'She wouldn't leave again, would she?'

His hands trembled as he picked up his phone and dialed her number, only to find that her phone was powered off.

At that moment, Jack was overwhelmed with misery. His hair was a messed as he paced back and forth across the living room. He dialed the number again and again. When the call was finally connected, his eyes were moist and his voice was weak. "Where have you been?" he rasped out.

"Did you catch a cold?" Celia walked in, holding a medical record. "This is a new patient. The director assigned him to you."

She threw the tissue and nodded. "I'll give it a look later."

"I'll go first. By the way, do you want me to bring some anti-cold drug to you?"

"I don't have a cold." Rachel waved her hand dismissively.

"Really?" Celia crossed her arms and gazed at her. Suddenly, a teasing smile threaded across her lips. "You know, I heard from Mindy that if someone misses you, you'll sneeze three times," she joked.

"Maybe Jack misses you."

Rachel rolled her eyes and pretended to pick up her phone. "Mindy..."
