Rachel walked to the bedside. She put the pillow aside and smiled, "You're pregnant. Why are you still so angry? When I came in just now, I saw the grievance on Henry's face."
"Grievance?" Lea repeated in disbelief and curled her lips. Pretending to stretch her neck, she faced the door and asked in a loud voice, "How could a selfish person show his grievance?"
Rachel wasn't sure what to feel with that. Should she laugh or cry? She held her hand and said, "What did he do? How could he be selfish?"
"I just asked him something about Jack. He said it was your business and that I should stay out of it. Well, what are friends for? How can I just sit by and do nothing at this time?" Lea rambled angrily, only realizing that she might have crossed a line when she noticed Rachel's expression suddenly darkening.
She was remorseful for the slip up and it showed on her face. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Rachel, I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart."
Smiling lightly, Rachel reached for her bag and took out a box of chocolates. She gave it to Rita who was listening to them even though she couldn't understand what the adults were saying. She warmly looked at the child and told her, "Rita, go to your dad. I have something to tell your mom."
"Why? Can't I stay and listen?" She curiously looked at Rachel with her round eyes.
Rachel moved closer and stroked Rita's soft hair. "You can listen to it when you grow up. It's not the time yet."
"But when will I grow up?" Rita asked again, holding the
But Rachel didn't reply. She lowered her head and began organizing the things she would send to Lea.
Hearing the commotion, Julie went to her room and brought out the box. She explained hurriedly, "The courier sent it here yesterday. I thought it was for Miss Shen so I opened it."
Hearing that she took the blame, Rachel looked at her with gratitude. Julie saved her.
"Since you already opened it, forget it. Just throw it away."
Rachel couldn't help but sneer when she heard his words. "Jack, you're not young anymore. It's about time you stop doing such boring and childish things."
It was like something shifted. Her words made the air a little stiff.
Rachel picked up her bag and walked away without looking back.
Jack's face suddenly grew dim. He threw the box angrily. He actually bought this pajama on purpose just to irritate Rachel.
His heart became full of resentment when he saw her standing next to Jimmy. He didn't know what was going on. All he knew was he was so mad that he became irrational. He couldn't think straight so he did such a thing! But what made him more embarrassed was that Rachel saw through his actions.
Julie was startled. She looked at the destroyed box with her eyes wide open in shock.
After signing in for duty and informing her colleagues, Rachel went to Lea's ward. Lea ordered Henry to pack up while leaning against the bed. She scolded him from time to time, but he didn't argue back. He just continued on gathering their things instead of defending himself.
