My Darling, My Dearest

"Whatever." Jack's mouth curved and a smile began to form on his lips.

At the right moment, Austin said, "In fact, the press conference is almost over. Mr. Fu, you can leave now. I can handle the rest."

Jack nodded. When he was about to beckon to Michael and others to join him, he saw Henry standing in a corner. Covering his ear with one hand to stop the noise, he was talking intently on phone. While he was at it, they patiently waited for him.

Henry put away his phone and came over. "Kailey is found!" he announced as soon as he was near them.

"Where is she? That bitch! I am glad we finally found her," said Michael angrily, rolling up his sleeves like he was getting ready to fight her.

Rachel flinched at his words. She couldn't understand how they had suddenly found Kailey.

Paying no attention to Michael, Henry faced Jack. "A car accident took place now. Luckily, a friend of mine is a part of the traffic police team. He called me and informed that the person in question was none other than her."

"Where is she now?" Jack asked. He was eerily calm.

"She is in the hospital. She has regained her consciousness. Let's go there." Henry turned around and was about to leave but Jack held his arm.

Marcus, who had braced himself for a fight, seemed utterly confused. "Why aren't we leaving?" he asked.

Jack smiled and said, "The police must be there. Our presence won't be of any help. She is going to spill the truth."

Then he raised his chin and said to Michael, "Didn't you just say you are hungry? There's no need to starve you for this silly business. If you get tired of flirting with girls due to your empty stomach, I can't take the blame."

Jack's words eased the atmosphere. Everyone burst out smiling.

Michael glared at them and said exaggeratedly, "Yes, now you all have a family. I'm the only single man. If you delay my business, I will make it a point to harass you every day!"

"No, my Lea will get angry," Henry replied jokingly.

They walked out of the hall, talking and laughing. There was no room for sadness as they were soaking in happiness.

In the hospital, Kailey slowly opened her eyes and tried to figure out where she was. While she was trying to make sense of her surroundings, a voice said, "You had a car accident. And right now, you are in the hospital."

The memory of her car crashing came back. She finally remember everything. Looking at the doctor and police officers standing beside the bed, she knew she was in a helpless position.

At this time, the doctor took a step back, turned to look at the police officers, and said, "She is free to go through inquiry now. If you have any questions, just ask. Also if you find something wrong with the patient's behavior, inform us immediately."

"Got it." One of the police officers locked the door once the doctor was out. Then he came back and began to question her. "Do you happen to know Benny?"

"Yes," Kailey said without any hint of pretense.

She squeezed her eyes shut, stopping her tears from flowing. Once she opened them, there was only despair left.

Rachel sat up and stretched herself. After dinner last night, Michael proposed to go to the bar for a while. It was definitely not the right place for a pregnant woman. Hence she decided to go home.

She hailed a taxi and was about to get in. Just then, Jack opened the door on the other side. Rachel was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to the bar?" Looking behind, she spotted his friends looking straight at her.

Jack smiled faintly and said, "No, I want to go home with you."

Shaking her head, Rachel said, "You'd better go to the bar with them. I don't want your friends thinking I am a controlling wife."

These days, Jack was under too much pressure. Going to the bar with them would do him some good. He deserved this break.

Suddenly, she caught sight of Michael trotting towards them. He reached out to hold Jack's shoulder and announced, "Now that your wife has asked you to join us, you have no excuse to refuse." With a smile, Rachel waved at Jack.

Jack twitched his mouth and said, "Call me as soon as you get home."

Even now, he wasn't convinced. Plunging his hands into pocket, he took out his phone. Quickly, he took a shot of the taxi's license plate number. Seeing his actions, Rachel couldn't help but sigh.

While Rachel had just woken up, the bedroom door was gently pushed open. Jack came in with a glass in his hand. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he held her hand and said, "I poured you some warm water. Drink it before you get out of bed."

"Okay." Rachel was used to his care and had begun to relish it.

At first, she thought Lucas was the most considerate man, but now his memories had erased. She didn't think anyone could care for her the way Jack did.

She took a sip, moistened her throat and asked, "Why are you here so early this morning?"

"I wanted to tell you something. I just

received a phone call." With that, Jack took out his phone from his

pocket and gazed at it. There was no expression on his face and Rachel began to fear he was going to give some bad news. "The police just called me and said that it has been confirmed that the matter on the yacht had nothing to do with me. I am guessing all the major websites and magazines will post about it in an hour."

His tone didn't match the news.

However, Rachel's eyes widened in surprise. She shook the glass in her hands happily, oblivious of the fact that the water had begun to drip on the quilt. She asked excitedly, "Have they found any strong evidence?"

"No." Jack shook his head. He went on, "Kailey knew those people from a bar. It was her plan. She asked them to accuse me."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As he spoke, her surprise intensified. Unable to believe everything had been wrapped up so easily, she asked, "But why did she confess? If she was willing to do it so easily, why did she go through all this trouble? Why didn't she do it in the very beginning?"

Jack took a piece of tissue to dry her

hands. Changing his position, he sat face to face with Rachel. He then held her in his arms. While he caressing her hair lightly, he

continued with the story. "She's t

surrendered."

It turned out that Kailey had indeed taken all the money from the bar, hoping to lead a peaceful life. But she also knew sooner or later it would come to an end. She couldn't live in secrecy forever. Moreover, being someone who was addicted to gambling, it was nearly impossible.

Presently, she owed the casino about one hundred million dollars.

The casino staff informed her that if she couldn't pay the money in a week's time, they wouldn't hesitate to sell her organs.

Now she only had three days before they would ask her for the payment. Knowing very well she was running out of time, she needed a plan. Her friends in the bar also found her whereabouts and used a lot of methods to force her to return the money.

But she had already gambled all her money. She was in a mess. Therefore, she had no choice but to escape. However, she did not expect that she would meet with an accident on her way and be found by the police.

Under the circumstance, the only thing Kailey could do was spill the beans. Even if she ended up in the jail, at least her organs would be safe. She was willing to be punished.

Once Jack was done explaining, he said, "This girl probably wants to take revenge for what I did to her cousin. She thought I treated Scarlett badly." After saying that, he sighed. No matter how hard he tried, his guilt remained. He wished he hadn't used Scarlett as a pawn.

Rachel frowned but didn't make a reply. Her thought were elsewhere.

She remembered the time when she and Julie went walking to the supermarket. There she had heard what Kailey said to her friend. At that time, she had wanted tell Jack about it. But a series of events happened and she completely forgot about it.

Now it seemed like the biggest reason why Kailey had done such an absurd thing.

Seeing that Rachel was deep in thoughts, Jack asked, "What are you thinking about? Would you care to share?"

"No, it is nothing." Rachel smiled. "Now that this matter has been resolved, shouldn't we celebrate?" She didn't like it when Jack was gloomy. She wanted to change the topic. Since the police would handle Kailey, there was no use in mentioning that particular incident.

Jack gently rubbed her nose, and then whispered in her ear, "At present, I don't think you can give me the celebration I want."

Rachel's face flushed and she replied in a low voice, "We have plenty of time in the future."

These simple words brought intense joy.

Yes, the two of them had a happy life waiting ahead of them. This was just the beginning of this beautiful journey.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, the baby in her belly was about to be born. During this period of time, Rachel's belly had become huge. Her originally smooth belly was tainted with pregnancy marks. That night, after taking a shower, Rachel stood in the washroom, and gazed at her imperfect body. "Why is my body so ugly?" she muttered to herself.

Jack, who had been waiting for her outside the washroom, wondered what was taking her so long. Worrying if she slipped or some

mishap happened, he went to sonet

what was wrong. Putting down the book he was reading, he stood up and walked near the wagom door. He knocked lightly and said, "Rachel, are you done?"

"Yes, I am coming!" Rachel answered. Author's note
