Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 101

Maurice smiled. “Mr. Shawn sent me here to help you. You can let me know if you need any help.”

Rachel was taken aback, her heart sinking a bit.

Kenneth must be certain that she would refuse Osmond to come over. Now she needed help, so he sent his man here.

“What else did he tell you?”

Maurice answered in a flat tone, “Mr. Shawn said that you don’t need to call him if you are too busy. Please don’t thank him in such a hurry. No matter what, you should concentrate on resolving your current problems. You could discuss other things with him later. After all, your father’s health comes first.”

Rachel didn’t speak.

‘Thank him?’ she reechoed the words inwardly.

Rachel pursed her lips.

It seemed that Kenneth knew what was going on in her mind. He even didn’t give her any chance to refuse him. He made an excuse for her father’s health.

After thinking for a while, she raised her head and said in a light tone, “Could you please do me a favor? Would you mind searching the best hospitals in City N for me please?”

Maurice nodded. “Sure. I’ll do it right away.”

After saying that, he was about to leave. Suddenly, he paused and said, “By the way, Mr. Shawn told you to take good care of yourself.”

Rachel fell into the silence for a few seconds.

Then she answered, “... OK. I got it.”

It was not until the young man had disappeared from her sight did she come back to her senses. She looked down, turned around, and went back to the ward.

She guessed that Kenneth must also be busy with his work, so she didn’t call him. Besides, what he said made sense -- no matter what, she should concentrate on resolving the current problems.

Only a few people knew about her father’s incident. There was no relevant news outside. After a whole day, besides the superintendent of the jail, nearly nobody else came to visit him.

Mr. Edward dropped by when he was submitting some materials. Then he left in a hurry. Later, Maurice was frequently seen here.

He almost stayed outside all the time, even took the charge of buying meals for them.

It was late at night. Rachel didn’t feel sleepy at all. She sent Theresa to bed on the sickbed next to her. Then she sat on the chair while holding her knees in her arms, lost in thought.

Suddenly, she heard some noise from the door, which startled her. She immediately stood up, walked outside to check.

It was almost the same as the night when he suddenly had appeared in the hotel. Her heart hammered, and she wondered if she was in a dream again.

She looked at him dully and stammered, “You... How did you come in?”

There were prison guards outside, weren’t there?

The man answered indifferently, “I just told them I’m your ex-husband. After showing my ID, they let me in.”

Rachel was speechless.

She couldn’t understand how he could announce that he was her ex-husband in such a calm manner.

Rachel murmured, “It’s so late now. Why are you here?”
