Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616

At the mention of his company, Tyler’s eyes turned solemn.

“You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways.”

Rachel knew from Tyler’s tone that Steven had really gone all out this time.

She didn’t pursue the matter with Tyler. She knew how prideful he was, especially with Yale around.

Xavier soon found them after they returned to the hospital. “I rushed over the moment I heard the news!

What’s with the two of you, doing a disappearing act?”

Tyler gave him a half–smile. “We had something to attend to.”

Xavier gave Tyler a knowing look as he surveyed him from head to toe. “Something to attend to? Tell me, what are you capable of doing in your current state?”

Xavier had the knack of nagging endlessly when he was in the mood.

“It’s bad enough that you left the hospital while injured. Why did you take her with you, too? How is the hospital going to bear the consequences if anything happens to you both?”

Tyler looked unsympathetically at Xavier. “You’re getting naggier with age, just like my late grandmother.”

Tyler found his grandmother naggy–she was still naggy even at her deathbed. Her words still rang in his mind, as though he had just heard them yesterday.

“You…”

“Dr. Jenkins, umm… Mr. Hunt had work to do. Something urgent cropped up at work, and he had to attend to it in person.”

Rachel took the initiative to explain the situation before Xavier blew up, which helped to ease the tension

between the two men.

Xavier and Tyler were close enough to do away with pleasantries, but Xavier was naturally more polite to

Rachel.

“Ms. Lloyd, I can understand if Tyler has things to do and places to go while hospitalized. He’s used to being independent and doing whatever he pleases. He takes everyone else’s advice as hot air. As for you, I’ve consulted your attending doctor. Although you didn’t bear any external injuries, you suffered a major shock. Don’t underestimate such trauma. You require rest and recuperation.”

Rachel knew that Xavier had good intentions. Although he was a tad too naggy, it was out of concern for

them.

She nodded and said, “I know, Dr. Jenkins. We really shouldn’t have snuck out of the hospital this time. We won’t do it again.”

Rachel’s meek and submissive demeanor made Xavier feel much better. He tilted his chin in Tyler’s
