My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 403

Without any hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. With a hint of nervousness in his voice, he asked the person on the other end, "Why did she go there?"

"It seems like she went there for a prenatal checkup."

Upon hearing the answer, Jack felt the breath whoosh out of his body as if he had been sucker-punched. It wasn't until the other person said "Hello?" for a few times that he suddenly snapped out of his reverie, and his expression suddenly changed. "How many months is she pregnant?"

"I don't know."

"Go and find out right away."

After hanging up the phone, Jack changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and left.

Tracy was about to call her friends and ask around if they knew a suitable woman to set Jack up with when he suddenly swept past her and got into his car.

She raised her voice and asked, "Son, where are you going?"

The only answer she got was the roar of the engine. Rachel received a call from the hospital saying that the non-invasive test results had come out. Unexpectedly, the results were released after seven days, whereas it usually took the hospital fifteen days to do so.

She was putting on her shoes on her way out to go to the hospital when the doorbell rang.

'Who could it be at this hour?'

Frowning, Rachel opened the door to the sight of Jack standing there gasping for breath. She froze in surprise, and then in the next moment, she made a move to slam the door in his face.

Jack's hand shot out hastily and pressed on the door open. "Rachel, I have something to ask you."

"We have nothing to talk about." Rachel tried even harder to push the door closed.

The gap between the door and the frame was getting narrower. Jack was about to shove the door open when he caught a glimpse of Rachel's slightly protruding belly out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly regained his senses just to see the door slam back shut.

No matter how he knocked on the door or rang the doorbell, Rachel didn't answer him.

Behind the door, Rachel remained squatted on the floor with her back against it and her arms around herself. 'Has he left yet? Why did he come here? What does he want? Did he find out...'

Rachel slowly stood up and lowered her head to look at her belly. She was wearing a well-fitting dress today, so her baby bump was evident just now. She suddenly felt cold with fear. She ran back to the room and took out all the clothes in the wardrobe to pick her loosest overcoat.

Standing in front of the mirror for a long time, she made sure that there wasn't a hint of anything unusual showing. Then, she calmed down and opened the door again.

Jack had been waiting at the door without leaving. When he saw her open the door again, his dark and deep eyes lit up. He quickly walked forward and reached out to hold her hand.

Rachel moved aside to let him enter and said, "I have something to deal with later. If you have anything to say, just say it now."

If she wasn't in such a hurry to know the test results, then she would have locked herself in the room and not come out until he was gone.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you there." Jack's eyes gradually became gentle.

However, Rachel was unmoved. She looked straight at Jack for a while, and then turned away, saying in a cold voice, "No need. You can just say whatever you want to say. Otherwise, please don't linger in front of my door. I don't need a doorkeeper guarding my gate." 'A doorkeeper guarding her gate?'

Hearing her analogy, Jack was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. It made him miss the days when she bickered with him.

But now, it seemed that the days were long gone.

Squinting slightly, Jack looked at Rachel's belly. Seeing her take two steps back and raise a hand subconsciously to cover her belly confirmed that the information he had received earlier was correct.

He said with conviction, "You are pregnant with our child!"

"How did you know?" Rachel asked in shock. After a while, she said with a cold smile, "I am pregnant, but who told you that the baby was yours?"

Jack frowned and said, "Rachel, why are you still being so contrary?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

A faint sense of unease crept into her mind. Rachel tried her best to hide her pregnancy from the Fu family because she was afraid that they would try every means to take the child away from her.

She didn't want to continue this topic, so she pushed him aside and said in an even more glacial voice, "I have something else to do, so I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm leaving now."
