Chapter 354 Alzheimer's Disease

Before Henry could take a step forward to stop Rachel from calling Lea, Jack grabbed his arm. "Perhaps it's not that her phone is turned off, but that she blocked your number."

From personal experience he knew how easily women would do that. In fact, Rachel had done it to him a couple of times.

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard Rachel's voice coming from the balcony. It turned out she had managed to connect to Lea. And now, they were talking.

Jack glanced at him and passed him a smile which seemed to be saying "I told you." Patting on his shoulder, he said, "Henry, you still have a long way to go."

Rachel had hung up the phone and was standing in front of the two. She had no idea what their conversation was about nor did she bother to ask. "She is in a hotel with Rita. Let's go," she announced.

Quickly, she grabbed her coat, getting ready to go. However, Jack pulled her back and said, "It's better if Henry goes alone."

The next day, when Rachel arrived at the hospital, she received a call from Lea.

Last night, she had texted Lea saying she wouldn't be able to make it. She received no reply to her text.

"Rachel, come to my house with Jack tonight. I need your help," Lea said.

Smiling, Rachel asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in a hurry to have us for dinner?"

"You'll know when you come. I've asked Henry to inform Jack. I just called you to let you know you should come at any cost." Saying this, Lea hung up the call.

Her words aroused Rachel's curiosity. Obviously she wouldn't cancel it.

Just when she

Lea shook her head and passed her some cookies. "Wait a minute. Someone hasn't arrived yet. For now, you should manage with this."

"Who else?" Rachel had assumed this party was just for her and Jack.

Before she could explain, Michael's voice came from behind. He was speaking on the phone in a loud voice. Every word he said could be heard clearly. "I will repeat for you—I really don't have time tonight! If she insists on a blind date, she'd better reschedule it. Or perhaps you can change the girl! I wouldn't mind."

Lea snorted. By now, she knew Henry's friends quite well. There was a time when she liked Michael. He had a personality that seemed quite charming. But now she was done with his uncultured ways.

"Hey, Michael!"

As soon as she spoke, she realized that her voice was too loud. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "Can you keep your voice down? My daughter has just fallen asleep. Your important conversation might wake her up."

"Okay, okay, I'll be careful."

After saying hi to Rachel, Michael walked to the dining table and dipped his hand into one of the dishes. When he saw Lea's glare, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I've just washed my hands."

Jack and Henry happened to come out of the study. Lea clapped her hands and said, "Well, everyone is here. Sit down and let's have dinner!"

During the dinner, Lea finally explained the reason why she invited the three of them to dinner.

It turned out that she hoped the three of them could be a witness as Henry promised that he wouldn't come home drunk again.
