Jonathan sighed and stood up with the help of his walking stick. Letting out another sigh, this time louder, he said, "What is it you want to tell me? Let it out!"
There was a pause after which Jack replied, "She has lost her memory."
"What? Are you serious?" There was glimmer of hope in Jonathan's eyes. He had planned to reveal everything. In fact, he was prepared to watch Rachel leave. But now, this incredible news given by Jack had changed everything.
He couldn't believe it.
The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually subdued. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking slowly, "Are you sure? Is it confirmed?"
Life had a tendency of taking people through unexpected twists.
Jonathan wanted Jack to be cautious.
Hearing the disbelief in his voice, Jack took out a document and placed it on the desk. "This is the investigation material. You can have a look."
"Well, I will look at it. However, it's quite late now. Rachel must be waiting for you," Jonathan replied.
Tracy, who had fallen asleep, woke up. She stretched her hand to the side like she normally did but was stunned at finding it empty.
She sat up in a hurry and glanced at the clock on the side. It was three o'clock in the morning, but Jonathan hadn't come to sleep yet. Sometimes he behaved like a kid! She was furious. "What time is it? How old do you think you are? It is high time you stopped acting like a twenty-year-old young man!"
she said angrily as she entered the study. Her fury was such that she hadn't even bothered to check who was sitting in the study at this moment.
It was not until she had uttered these spiteful words she noti
am not here to work. I came here to resign."
"Resign?" Rachel was taken aback by his words.
Lucas rarely saw Rachel reveal her true feelings. However, her sadness was clearly evident at the moment. He couldn't help but raise his hand and caress her forehead. "Iris is pregnant. We think the air and environment abroad will be much more suitable for the baby. We will be gone for a while."
His explanation made her even sadder.
But soon she realized they were doing it for a better life. She couldn't be angry about it. Flashing a smile, she said sincerely, "Congratulations, Lucas. The little baby is lucky to have parents like you. You both are going to make the baby really happy."
Returning the smile, Lucas leaned back and said, "You're getting more and more eloquent. Even though I am away, you have to be in touch, okay? Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything. Distance shouldn't damage our beautiful friendship."
Lucas was like her brother. Her eyes welled up with tears.
She lowered her head to hide her emotions. "Lucas, why does it sound like you won't come back?"
Lucas chuckled and said, "We may not come back. Moreover, after Father retires, they too will join us here." He picked the teacup from the table, moistened his throat, and continued, "Sometime in the future, I am hoping you will come there with Jack and your child."
"Stop it, Lucas. Don't be so touchy." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting quite serious, Rachel tried to ease it off.
Lucas didn't reply immediately since he was sorting out the items in the drawer. Soon, his staff announced the paper works were done. His time here was almost over.
