Stuck in you

Chapter 290 Something Wrong With Her Personality

Rachel was completely baffled. How could these strangers talk about her disdainfully? She didn't even know them.

'Did I happen to mess with these women in the past?" she asked herself.

When they were about to leave, she abruptly stopped them. "Wait! What do you mean by what you said?"

"Why don't you read it yourself, Dr. Seductress?" One of the women showed her phone to Rachel.

As Rachel read the conversation on WeChat, she couldn't help frowning.

She had never expected that people would speak ill of her like this.

And everything they said about her was wrong.

They were all convinced that she was a bad person, so they should stay away from her. Some even promised that they would tell their friends not to go to the hospital where she worked.

In their eyes, she was a home wrecker. If they wouldn't want their families to be broken, they must not cross paths with her.

How ridiculous! These people didn't even know her, yet they were talking bad about her.

Anger flared up in Rachel's heart instantly. She stepped to the side and said, "Go ahead, request a different doctor so I can have a rest now." She already knew who wanted to ruin her reputation.

Celine held up the cup and took a sip of tea elegantly. She straightened the hemline of her dress and sat like a proud queen.

After causing trouble in the hospital that day, she attended a party in the evening. There, she intentionally brought up the topic about Gigi Yang

and added fuel to the fire.

As expected, almost everyone in the party believed in her. They all thought that Rachel was an incompetent doctor with a personality disorder.

She even spread the gossip that Rachel was a woman who loved to destroy other people's marriages.

This was just the beginning of her plans. She would do everything to become Jack's wife in the future.

Meanwhile, Jack was in his office. While listening to Austin's report, he was unconsciously tapping his desk with his fingers.

"Mr. Fu, I found out that this number was bought only yesterday through the Internet. I tried to check the online account used, but there was no information available." Austin was disappointed at himself because he failed to complete the task assigned by Jack to him.

But Jack was not surprised at all. That person sent him the video anonymously, so it was already expected that the person would hide any information that would connect to him.

He waved his hand and said, "That's fine. You can go now. Just don't tell others about this, okay?"

"Mr. Fu, what's with this phone number?" Austin had been itching to ask him about it since yesterday.

"Do you want a salary reduction?"

Jack knew what Austin's weakness was.

Afraid of losing a portion of his salary, Austin shut his mouth and walked out of the office. No matter how curious he was, he would never compromise his salary.

As soon as he closed the door, Jack's mouth curved into a smile.

Since he was alone now, his mind went back to the anonymous sender. If that person was able to take a video of Rachel in her office, it meant that the person was spying her.

A worried frown appeared on his face. What if that person was planning to harm Rachel secretly?

In the nurse station, a nurse packed up her things. She was about to leave when she heard another nurse heaved a deep sigh. She turned to her and said, "I told you earlier to accompany Rachel in the outpatient department, but you refused. Now you are regretting it.

Don't you know how much free time I had there? I just sat on the chair and took a nap the whole time."

Cara, who happened to be passing by, overheard what the nurse said. She stopped and looked around to make sure that no one was nearby before she asked, "Is there really no patient this afternoon?"

The nurse nodded. "It's true. Strange, isn't it?"

"It seems that what my friend said is true."

Hearing what Cara said, the three nurses looked at each other confusedly. One of them asked, "What's true, Cara?"

"Shhh!"

Cara placed a finger before her pursed lips to hush the nurses. She was afraid that someone might overhear them.

Although she knew that it wasn't appropriate, she still couldn't resist the desire to gossip.

She walked into the nurse station and motioned the three of them to surround her. Then she said in a low voice, "My friend just sent me a message this afternoon saying that everyone on the Internet is

calling Rachel a home wrecker.

They are now convincing everyone in their circle not to go to our hospital because she is working here."

Because of excitement, she didn't notice that her voice got louder.

Rachel was coming out of her office, and unintentionally heard the last few words Cara said. Since she also read the WeChat messages earlier, she could already guess that she was the topic of their conversation.

When she reached the nurse station, no one noticed her, so she knocked on the counter twice.

The four turned their heads simultaneously, and their faces were wrapped with terror upon seeing Rachel.

She just smiled at them and said, "Destroying other people's families is a tough job. I don't think it's worth my efforts,

so I hope you stop spreading such rumors." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Cara and the three nurses froze in shock. They didn't even notice that Rachel had already left.

After a while, a nurse came back to her senses. She snapped her fingers upon realizing something. "Rachel's husband is Jack Fu.

Having such a good-looking and powerful husband, do you really believe that she will waste her time wreaking other people's families?

It must be fake news!"

"I think you're right," another nurse agreed.

When they heard what the nurse said, they all realized that she had a point.

Instead of wasting her energy in destroying someone else's relationship, she must have been focusing on taking care of Jack, so he wouldn't look for a mistress.

They couldn't help thinking that the person who tried to ruin Rachel's reputation might be either jealous of her or hated seeing her happy.

Rachel was eloquent in scolding the people in the nurse station a while ago because she felt dejected. But now that she was able to breathe outside, she came to realize that she should not be angry at them.

After all, they were just deceived by that person who was spreading the news. However, she had no idea that her words had already changed their minds.

Since she had decided not to take this matter to heart, it wouldn't be necessary to let Jack know about it.

Just as she was thinking of Jack, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Jack, reminding her that he couldn't pick her up at the hospital because he had a business dinner.

She also had a dinner with the Zhou family today. After replying to his message, she saw Lucas standing at the entrance. With a smile, he asked, "Shall we go?"

On their way to the Zhou family's house, Rachel asked Lucas why he was in a hurry yesterday.

But instead of answering, he deliberately brought up a different topic.

Sensing that he didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask anymore.

"I haven't seen Lea lately. Does she have a flight abroad?"

His question reminded her that she hadn't told him about Lea yet, so she answered, "Lea is pregnant. She's just staying at home now."

She and Lea were calling each other every two days.

It was their way of keeping each other updated of their lives. She would always listen to Lea telling stories about her new life, and vice versa.

Lucas seemed to be shocked by the news because he suddenly stepped on the brakes. He turned to her and asked, "She is pregnant?"

Without waiting for her answer, he shook his head and added, "I didn't expect that she will become a mother so soon."

He always thought that Rachel would be the first to get pregnant. Knowing Lea's attitude, he had always believed that she would get married very late.

But he was wrong.

Thinking about her pregnancy, he formed an image in his mind. She was sitting by the window with the warm sunlight shining on her and she was caressing her bulging belly tenderly.

A trace of envy flashed through his eyes, while hopelessness engulfed in his heart.

He wondered when he could also get a chance to build his own family.

As soon as they entered the Zhou family's house, Rachel smelled the aroma of the dishes prepared by James. Upon seeing him in the kitchen, she immediately commented, "It's been a while since the last time I've tasted your dishes. I suddenly feel hungry now."

"Make yourself at home first. We'll have dinner in a bit." James put the last dish on the table and untied his apron. He then urged them to wash their hands and take their seats.

Rachel and Lucas sat next to each other, while James sat opposite his wife.

Although Lucas' mother was a bit quiet, she also liked Rachel. "Rachel, James told me what happened to you a few days ago.

Don't worry about it too much. Just enjoy our dinner tonight."

She then put a braised chicken wing into Rachel's plate.

The four of them enjoyed the dinner prepared by James. Under the dim yellow lights, they looked like a happy and beautiful family.

About five hundred meters away from the window, a man in a black car was busy taking photos. A satisfied smile plastered on his face.

He checked the pictures first before he took out his phone and typed a message.

"Mission accomplished. Prepare your payment."

Celine read the message on her phone. She smiled evilly and typed a response. "Show me some samples first. Your payment is ready anytime."

Rachel and the Zhou family were not aware that someone had intruded on their privacy. They were just talking about her and Jack merrily.

James and his wife knew about the current status of Rachel's relationship with Jack, and they were happy about it.

After dinner, they moved to the living room and continued chatting over a cup of tea. Lucas' mother held Rachel's hand and said, "I can't believe that you and Jack have finally decided to become a real couple. Take care and cherish your relationship with him, do you understand?"

Lucas' mother knew that she was an orphan, so she had treated her like her daughter.

As a caring mother, she wanted to give her some advice.

Rachel was touched by her concern. She nodded with a smile.

"I know that you are an independent woman, and you don't talk too much. You tend to keep all your burdens in your heart, which is not good. Sometimes, it's better that you have someone to share..."

Before the old lady could finish her words, Rachel interrupted, "Don't worry. From now on, I will say what I need to say. I understand what you mean. I will not keep everything in my heart anymore."

"I'm glad to hear that.

Have you ever thought of having a baby?"

Upon hearing her question, Rachel suddenly remembered what she heard from the nurses in the hospital.

They said that when you were talking with relatives and elders, there were three questions that you couldn't avoid.

When you were single, they would ask when you would date a man.

Once you have gotten a boyfriend, they would ask when you would get married.

After you got married, they would ask when you would have a baby.

Since she got married as soon as she graduated from college, she didn't have to worry about the first two questions. But the last question was something she couldn't avoid.

She smiled shyly and replied, "We will let nature take its course."

Lucas, who was coming over to them with a plate of fruits in his hand, overheard his mother's question, so he said, "Mom, how can Rachel answer such a question?"

She glared at him and tapped his shoulder forcefully. "I haven't had time to scold you yet. What happened to the woman that I introduced to you?

Look at you. Have you forgotten how old you are now?"
