Celia sat there stunned for a few seconds, and then continued, "It's okay to wait for one or two years, but what if I have to wait indefinitely? What if he fails to convince his parents? Then all that waiting would be for nothing in the end, right?"
As soon as Celia finished speaking, Rachel heard her stomach growl, so she handed her another piece of bread. "You already know the answer in your heart, don't you? You think that you can wait for one or two years, so just wait. As for the rest, talk it out after a year or two."
Celia continued to whine, "But what if I wait for him, but then he won't want me anymore after two years? Rachel, I've been cheated on once, and I can't let that happen again. I'm really scared."
Rachel was hunched over while turning on the computer, but upon hearing this, she paused the task and straightened up, looking at Celia. She remembered what happened to the other woman when she came to the hospital for registration, and her heart sank. After a while, she said encouragingly, "Then make yourself a stronger and better woman while waiting for him. As women, we have to rely on ourselves, right? When you are the best version of yourself, men will come to you automatically."
Celia clenched her fists and raised her hands in reaction to Rachel's words, shouting vigorously, "Okay, Rachel, I will try my best!"

He frowned and let go of her. Looking at the number, he suddenly stood up and went to the balcony.
Rachel felt like falling back to sleep, but then she felt a warm breath falling on her ear. She frowned and mumbled, "Who called you?"
Jack said in a low voice, "Rachel, something happened to a real estate project in America. I have to go there immediately. I need to head to the airport now."
Rachel rubbed at her sleepy eyes and said, "Then I'll help you pack up."
She was about to get out of bed, but Jack pressed on her shoulders so that she was lying down again. With a warm smile down at her, he said, "Lie down. I just need to pack up a few things."
She closed her eyes and accepted the kiss on his forehead with a bittersweet smile.
She had grown used to having breakfast with him. She sighed while looking at the plate of steamed buns she had brought from the dining table, her appetite gone.
She simply packed them into a food container and brought them to the hospital.
If her memory served her right, Celia worked during the day. Maybe she could have breakfast with her.
In the nurse station, people were hustling around early in the morning, splitting medicine and taking blood pressure. It was not easy for Rachel to find Celia, who was sitting quietly in the pharmacy. She patted her on the shoulder from behind and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Celia turned around and glanced at her. She opened her mouth to speak, but then finally lowered her head in silence and continued what she was doing.
Suddenly, the indifference in her eyes morphed into hatred.
