Chapter 425 A Warm Moment
Chapter 425 A Warm Moment
Gary raised his head and his little face flushed with tears. Maybe he cried too hard just now, he burped and sobbed, "I quarreled with grandma. I'm going to run away from home."
'Run away from home?'
Rachel frowned and asked, "Why did you quarrel with grandma? What happened?"
"Grandma... She wanted to find a new wife for dad. Speaking of this, Gary kept crying.
Listening to this aggrieved cry, the deep of Rachel's heart was a little soft. Gary's mother had just passed away, and his grandmother immediately found a new wife for her son, which was really hard to accept.
Moreover, children were not as precocious as before, they know a lot through the Internet and TV.
It was obviously that he was more excited to resist these things.
Taking out a piece of tissue from her bag, Rachel gently wiped the tears on his face and said in a soft voice, "Have you ever asked Dad? What did he say?"
Gary raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes. He said with grievance, "Dad is not off duty yet. I don't know."
Heaving a sigh, Rachel reached out and signed his hand. Instead of mentioning it, she turned to him and asked, "It's so late. Let me drive you home, okay? Otherwise, your father will be worried when he comes back and sees that you are not at home."
He immediately lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to go back."
There was nothing Rachel could do. She was worried about letting him walk around on the street alone, so she asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Gary shook his head, and his stomach also cried out cooperatively at this time. With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel said, "Then I'll take you to eat something now. What do you want to eat?"
Children's temper came and went quickly. Rachel distracted his attention.
He tilted his head, his eyes rolling two circles, and asked expectantly, "Steak? Dad hasn't taken me to eat for a long time."
"Okay, you can eat anything you want today."
Lowering her head, Rachel checked the nearby western restaurant on her mobile phone. Coincidentally, a taxi stopped at the side. When she opened the door and was about to let Gary in, an anxious voice came from behind. Not long after, she saw Jimmy running over, with his hands on his waist, panting.
His face was full of anxiety and fear. He didn't feel relieved until he saw Gary standing beside Rachel.
He squatted down, held Gary's arm and frowned, "What's wrong with you? How could you run away from home at such a young age! Do you know how many places I have been to look for you? I almost went to the police station!"
Gary lowered her head. "I hate grandma."
Seeing that his mood, which had just been a little relieved, became depressed again, Rachel couldn't help saying, "Mr. Jimmy, don't blame Gary for this. Talk about it when he calms down a little bit."
It seemed that Jimmy didn't notice Rachel until now. He said in surprise, "Dr. Rachel, it's you."
Rachel explained, "I'm worried about Gary when I see him alone here."
"Thank you. I don't know where to find him if I didn't meet you." Jimmy shook his head slightly, with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes.
He waved at Gary, hinting him to come over.
Looking at his pickled face, Rachel thought for a while and said, "Mr. Jimmy, in fact, as an outsider, I shouldn't have spoken too much about your family's affairs, but when I saw Gary's expression, I couldn't help but want to say that many things might need to be communicated with the child in another way. After all, they are not so comprehensive in thinking and things are also relatively simple. Can you understand me?"
"I know."
Jimmy nodded and continued, "I've talked to my mother."
Hearing this, Gary looked up at him and asked in a childish voice, "Doesn't grandma find you a wife?"
"No." Jimmy shook his head helplessly.
"Yeah, that's great!"
Seeing Gary jumping up and cheering, Rachel couldn't help smiling.
When she came out of the hospital, it was already late. Due to the delay, the street lights on both sides of the road were turned on, and her mobile phone in her bag also rang. Maybe [张妈] called to ask why she hadn't gone back yet.
"It's getting late. I need go home," said Rachel.
"Wait for me."
Gary let go of Jimmy's hand, and then ran over to pull the clothes of Rachel. He asked confusedly, "Aunt Rachel, didn't we say that we would go to eat steak together?"
Jimmy also took a step forward and said with a smile, "Yes, we don't have dinner when we go back. How about having dinner together? Thank you for stopping this brat for me."
"No, thanks." Rachel shook her head with a smile. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
However, Gary turned to hold her hand, shook it a few times, and said in a spoiled tone, "Aunt Rachel, you can't break your promise. We have agreed to have dinner together tonight, and I want to have dinner with you, okay?"
This was the last thing that she could bear, so Rachel had to agree with him with a smile.
Jimmy pointed to a parking lot not far away and said, "I parked my car there. Let's go."
Scarlett sat in Jack's ward for a while, but he ignored her completely, not even giving her a look.
Looking at the three cold food boxes thrown outside, Jack picked them up and threw them into the trash can.
He had heard from Julie that Rachel didn't have a good appetite these days, so he wanted Rachel to stay and eat more in front of him.
But he didn't expect that Scarlett would destroy his plan!
Seeing Scarlett standing at the door like a wood, he couldn't help but snort, "Get out!"
Scarlett pursed her lips and looked wronged. She was angry and hateful, but she had no reason to stay in the ward and had to come out.
When she was about to hail a taxi, she didn't expect to see three figures walking in front of her. In the middle was a little boy, and on both sides stood a man and a woman holding the boy's hands. She was very familiar with the back of the woman.
It was none other than Rachel she hated to the core.
Without any hesitation, she took several photos of their backs and then called her friends. "I remember you know the owner of a website, right? Can you do me a favor?"
The golden sun shone into the ward through the curtain. Jack had already woken up. Looking through the company documents sent by Austin the day before yesterday, he felt a dull pain in his head after an hour.
He stopped, rubbed his temples and picked up his phone to browse today's news. Unexpectedly, he was attracted by one of the titles.
"A Warm Moment Award"
It was not because Jack was interested in photography, but because the back in the first photo was so familiar!
The sunset glow shone on the three people. The woman on the right wore exactly the same clothes as what she wore yesterday. She wore a bean green down coat, and underneath was a simple Beige casual trousers. The man on the right hand, if he remembered correctly, should be the father and son who had dinner with her in the restaurant that day?
Frowning tightly, Jack quickly flipped through the screen of his mobile phone and pulled to the bottom. The photographer's introduction of the work was only said to be taken by accident on the street
yesterday, and many comments below said that they were a happy family of three. Many people were curious about how they look like.
With a bang, the phone was smashed into pieces.
Yesterday when she came to the hospital, she said she wanted to go back, using the excuse of going home. It turned out that the so-called going home was to have dinner with them?
At the thought of this, the anger in Jack's eyes seemed to burn him out. He clenched his fists, blue veins popping out, and a chill filled the whole ward.
Jack stood up and pressed the call button at the head of the bed. When the nurse came in, he said coldly, "Help me discharge from the hospital!"
The nurse said in a low voice, "Mr. Jack, you should stay here for another week."
"No, thanks. I'm leaving the hospital right now!"
Ignoring the nurse, Jack opened the wardrobe and took out his clothes, heading to the bathroom.
With an embarrassed look on her face, the nurse walked to the nursing station and asked, "Mindy, Mr. Jack said he wanted to leave the hospital. What should we do with it?"
"Let him be. I don't think he can stop us." Mindy shook her head helplessly, took out Jack's information from the corresponding folder, handed it to the nurse, and said, "You go to go through the discharge formalities now, and later I will call his family."
Rachel yawned and slowly sat up from the bed. It was Saturday today, and she rarely had a good sleep.
In the past, when she was in the Cardiology Department, she would have a rest from time to time. If she was lucky, she could have a regular rest according to the duty schedule every month. But if something unexpected happened, she would often not have a rest for a long time.
Sometimes, it was lucky for her to sleep for seven hours a day.
Now she was transferred to the executive department. It was rare for her to enjoy the charm of weekends. No wonder there were many doctors in the hospital who wanted to work in the office at all costs and enjoy the regular life.
Rachel walked to the window, opened the curtain and stretched lazily in the sunlight.
When she was about to go downstairs for breakfast, she suddenly frowned slightly. Standing here and looking out, she saw a black car parking at the door.
At this moment, Jack got out of the car.
'Why does he come back?'
Thinking of his physical condition yesterday, Rachel frowned and wondered if he was suitable to be discharged from the hospital. At this time, Julie's voice suddenly sounded, "Miss Rachel, Mr. Jack is back."
