Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

William decided to let things go. “Forget it. I’ll just update Samantha about it.”

Rachel clenched her fists and remained silent. Her nails turned bright red from the force she dug them into the flesh of her palins.

A simple word from him was enough for him to pretend that he never suspected or maligned her.

Just then, Samantha walked to the door and knocked on it. William, why didn’t you call me to visit Rachel with you?”

William turned around and replied to her, “I saw her just now and came right in.”

Samantha looked at Rachel lying on the bed. “What happened to you, Rachel? You were fine earlier. What a coincidence that you ended up in the ward right next to my mom!”

Rachel could sense the underlying tone in her voice.

William couldn’t help but remark, “Rachel, it’s not good to be on the TV din for

can. Why not just take some medicine?”

Rachel looked away and said coldly, “The doctor wanted me on an IV drip.”

“For how many days?” William asked as he pointed to the drip.

“Just for today.”

too long. Try to get off it if you

She was suddenly glad that she was only going to be on the drip for today. She wondered what else William would have to say if the doctor made her stay for a few more days.

“I’ll send you back home tonight, then.”

“William…” Samantha purred. William listened on as she said, “The doctor said that my mom probably doesn’t need to be on an IV drip. She just needs to come back again tomorrow.”

“Right, I see. In that case, Rachel, wait here for me tonight I’ll send Samantha’s mom back first. She’s advanced in years and isn’t in great health, so she needs to head back earlier and rest.”

William said it in an imperative and did not ask for her opinion.

Rachel wasn’t taken aback by his tone.

She looked calm as she said almost emotionlessly, “It’s fine. You’re the only one Ms. Judd can rely on here. I can understand.”

William’s tightly knitted brows eased as he rubbed her head dotingly. “I knew you wouldn’t be so petty. After the dust settles with Project Oasis, I’ll spend some quality time with you, okay?”

Rachel nodded obediently, neither fussing nor putting up a fight. “Sure.”

Samantha smiled sweetly, tilting her head to one side. “Rachel, you really are as magnanimous and forgiving as William says you are. Not many women can be like you!”

Rachel remained silent. In contrast to Samantha’s words, she probably looked like a joke.

Yep–it was true that no one was as magnanimous as she was.

William walked over and tucked Rachel under the covers, gently patting the back of her hand. “Get some rest. I’m going to see what else I can help with.”
