Walking to the bedside, Rachel put the pillow aside and smiled, "You are pregnant. Why are you still so angry? When I came in just now, I saw the grievance on Henry's face."
"Grievance?" Lea repeated and curled her lips, pretending to stretch her neck at the door and higher her voice. "How could a selfish person show his grievance?"
Rachel didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. She held her hand and said, "How could he be selfish?"
"I just asked him something about Jack. He said it was your business and asked me to stay out of it. Well, what is friendship? Can I just sit by and do nothing at this time?" Lea spoke it out at one time and didn't realize that she had talked too much until she noticed that Rachel's face suddenly darkened.
She turned around and slapped herself on the face with regret. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Rachel, I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart."
With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Rachel lowered her head and took out a bag of chocolate from her bag. She gave it to Rita who was listening to them but couldn't understand a word. She smiled and said, "Rita, take the chocolate to your dad. I have something to tell your mom."
"Can't I hear?" She looked at Rachel with her round eyes.
She reached out and rubbed the soft hair of Rita. "You can listen to it when you grow up. It's not the time yet."
"When will Rita grow up?" She asked again, holding the bag of chocolate tightly with her hands, unwilling to go out.
Lea was anxious and higher her voice. "If you don't go out, give the chocolate back to Rachel."
"Mommy is so fierce." With her mouth pouted, Rita looked down at the chocolate in her hand and was reluctant to leave. Finally, she turned around and went out obediently.
Rachel pulled over a chair and sat down. She smoothed the hair on her forehead and said slowly, "Lea, this is the thing between Jack and me. We are not on the same way. We can't be together anyway. You don't have to quarrel with Henry because of me."
Lea moved aside. "Why are you not on the same way? Then what happened to you at the beginning?"
"Maybe we took the wrong way. Now we are on the right track." Although Rachel looked calm, only she knew that when she said these words, her heart suddenly twitched, as if the air had been drained all of a sudden.
"But..."
Before Lea could finish her words, the corners of Rachel's mouth curved slightly. Rachel changed the topic and said, "As for you, I don't think you look well. Should you pay more attention to yourself?"
Speaking of this, Lea looked down at her still flat belly and sighed slightly. "The doctor said that the condition is not very stable. He wanted me to stay in hospital for a few days, but I don't want to stay here. I want to go home. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital made me uncomfortable."
Rachel asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said it's okay, but if I feel uncomfortable, I must come back immediately."
They chatted with each other intermittently for a while. Because Lea had to stay in the emergency room for a night, it was about 8 p.m. that Rachel realized that she hadn't had dinner yet.
She stood up and said with a smile, "It's late. I'll go back first. Have a good rest."
After coming out of the emergency room, Rachel was about to hail a taxi home. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, "Aunt Rachel."
She was called several times in a row.
Looking back at the figure running towards her in the dark night, Rachel was a little surprised. "Gary, why are you here?"
Jimmy, who followed them up, smiled helplessly. "He just had a little meal at home and said that his teeth hurt. I'm worried if he got hurt in the fight this afternoon, so I took him to the hospital."
"What did the doctor say?"
Gary answered in a clear voice before his father, "The doctor said I was just about to change my teeth."
"That's a good thing. You are growing up." Rachel chuckled.
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure came over from the side. A woman in plain clothes squinted her eyes and asked, "Girl, I'm sorry to disturb you. I want to ask how to get to neurosurgery department?"
Pointing at the second building in front of her, Rachel said, "You just keep walking and enter in the blue door in the front. Then you can ask the nurse over there."
"Okay, thank you." The woman said gratefully. Looking at Gary, who was also looking at her, she smiled kindly and said, "Is this your son? A handsome boy."
'Your son...'
Hearing this, both Rachel and Jimmy were embarrassed. Only Gary said in a childish voice, "Mrs., you misunderstood. This is my Aunt Rachel, not my mom."
"Oh, I misunderstood." The woman might also feel a little embarrassed, so she waved her hand and walked straight forward.
