Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823

Rachel walked out and saw Cecilia pacing anxiously.

Seeing Rachel leave the study, Cecilia turned around and hurried toward her. “Rachel, how did it go? Did you two fight?”

“I just made things clear to him. I suppose that’s not considered arguing. I can’t do anything about it if he thinks I was arguing with him.”

She wasn’t going to give in, anyway.

Cecilia wasn’t worried about Rachel being bullied. She wasn’t one to allow herself to be bullied, anyway. Rather, Cecilia was worried that Rachel might be too aggressive and end up angering Gerald to the point of needing medical attention.

If that happened, Rachel would then once again become the target of public censure in her family.

“That’s good,” Cecilia said, relieved.

“I wonder how things are going on Tyler’s end,” Rachel mumbled under her breath.

Meanwhile, Thomas was sent to the emergency room at the hospital.

William and Samantha stood at the door, panic–stricken.

Samantha kept wiping the tears from her face, sobbing silently. William, still in shock over the news of his infertility, was further infuriated by her sobs.

He started yelling at her. “All you do is cry! What else do you know to do aside from that? It’s been so many years, and all you do is cry about your problems!”

Samantha cried even harder at William’s harsh words. Tears streamed down her cheeks. “Do you think I want to cry? Would Grandpa have fainted out of anger if you hadn’t aired our dirty laundry in public?”

“The nerve of you to bring it up!” William’s eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at her nose. “If you hadn’t done those filthy things, would I have blown up the way I did? You claim to love me, but is this what your love looks like?”

“Am I the one who failed to love you? I sacrificed my all for you, and what did you do for me? The woman you yearn for and think of all the time has always been Rachel!”

Samantha’s pitch went a notch higher; she was clearly angered, too.

The two of them started arguing at the door of the operating theatre.

Just then, Tyler roared, “Scram out of here if you want to fight! We’re in the hospital, for goodness‘ sake!”

His gaze was sharp and piercing as it swept across both William and Samantha. He exuded an aura so authoritative and intimidating, it seemed to freeze the air in the corridor.

Samantha and William stopped fighting. They ignored each other and remained silent.

During the two–hour–long surgery, both William and Samantha sat on the bench.

Finally, William couldn’t take the frustration growing in his chest and asked Samantha, “When did things between you and Jack happen?”

“It wasn’t for long, and it was an accident,” Samantha said. “One night, you kept calling for Rachel while you were drunk. It upset me so much, I went out for some drinks. A young man approached me, asking to drink with me, and we…”

William chuckled bitterly. “And you two had a drop too much.”
