My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

After seeing his client, Justin hurried to the hospital.

Upon entering the ward, he saw Gloria sitting on the bed while having her meal. “You’re early today. Have you eaten? Want to share?”

“I’m good. I had lunch with a client just now.”

“I see. If you had come even earlier, you would’ve met Rachel. Look, she made some chicken soup for me. It was fish soup yesterday. Though fish soup helps with recovery, she said it’s better to switch to other flavors

at times.”

Justin was baffled by this, and he promptly asked, “She’s been coming every day?”

“Yeah. Ever since I got hospitalized, she visited me every single day with various kinds of meals. She even insists on preparing them herself because takeaways are too greasy and it’s best I avoid them.”

“Why have I never seen her?”

“Perhaps she’s avoiding the time that you would come.”

Gloria looked into his eyes and continued, “You truly went overboard last time. If I were in her shoes, it would’ve been hard for me as well. Why don’t you take the chance to talk about it with her?”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Justin, you’re always holding back your thoughts and behaving like you’re the coldest man in the world.”

“Eat up. I’ll go get some fruit.”

Having said that, Justin exited the ward.

Upon his exit, Gloria turned to the piling baskets of fruit and snorted.

Get some fruits? Does he think I’m a child?

On the other hand, Rachel was cleaning the vegetables in the kitchen while Nancy was watching TV in the living room.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“Victor! He’s always forgetting his keys!”

Nancy nagged as she walked to the door.

Since she feared that her grandmother would fall victim to more accidents, Rachel had given Victor a duplicate house key.

“Excuse me?”

“Do you still remember me, Madam Tiller? I’m Frankie. I visited you once before.”

In the kitchen, Rachel was stunned momentarily when she heard the familiar man’s voice. She cleaned her hands and rushed out from the kitchen, only to see Frankie standing by the door with several bags in his hands.

“Mrs. Burton.”

While Nancy was still in a daze, Frankie had the men behind him start moving things into the house.

“President Burton heard that Madam Tiller was injured some time ago, so he decided to provide some self care products to her.”

“T-There’s no need for this. I haven’t even finished using the things you gave me last time.”

“It’s merely his token of appreciation. There’s no need to take it too seriously. Do you mind stepping aside, Madam Tiller? We don’t want to injure you.”

Behind Frankie were four men carrying a massage chair into the living room.

At once, Rachel went to move the furniture in the living room to prevent any unwanted crashes.

“Where’s your young master, then?” Nancy interrogated Frankie. “It’s been so long since he’s married Rae, yet I’ve never even seen him once.”

To that, Frankie responded, “He’s right downstairs. There are still things left to move up here.”

Downstairs?

Upon hearing that, Rachel could feel her heart thumping, and she immediately stopped her grandmother from exiting the house.

Stay here, Grandma. I’ll go down for a bit.

However, Nancy did not notice Rachel’s anxiousness and she yelled as the latter was walking out the door, “Tell Justin to come up and eat!”

When she reached downstairs, Rachel saw Justin just getting out of the car. His hands were tucked in the pockets of his slacks as he observed the neighborhood’s atmosphere.

Why are you here? There was nothing on Rachel’s face but alertness.

After glancing at Nancy’s unit, Justin then queried, “Did you like the things I sent you?”
