The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 445

Rachel shook her head and said," No, thanks." She didn't think that Chris would give her a fake ticket since she had already given her one million. She cast a glance at Edward, and finally said," Let's go. We'll finish the paperwork here and have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Rachel walked fast heading for the gate. She kept her chin up. Chris stayed behind. Seeing Rachel and Edward go inside, she let out a sigh of relief. Chris had been nervous asking Rachel if she would check out the ticket that was handed to her. Had she done so, Rachel would have discovered Chris' trickery and the whole plan would be screwed.

But Rachel didn't. She was more interested in the money.

Not long after, the former couple came out of the bureau with Chris walking towards Rachel to hand her the card. "I wish you nothing but happiness, Miss Bai," Chris told Rachel before turning to Edward. "Let's go home, Dad."

Once inside the car, Chris looked out the window to see Rachel's expression. Seeing the excitement in her face, Chris burst into laughter.

Edward frowned slightly. "What are you laughing about?" He saw amusement in his daughter's eyes.

But she only said," Nothing." After a few seconds, Chris was unable to hold back her glee and turned to her father. "Dad, the air ticket I bought for Rachel is for some poor little country. I couldn't help laughing because I can already imagine how desperate and mad she would become once she gets to the airport the day after tomorrow!"

Edward was initially shocked. But eventually, he joined in the laughter. He found it totally hilarious that Rachel, always cautious in everything, would find herself in some far away land like a deported refugee.

Rachel found herself very lucky to have sold her apartment in a day. With the money from the sale plus the amount given by Chris, she would start a new life overseas.

So it came as a complete shock when, arriving at the airport, she realized she was holding a ticket for a country she had never heard of. Rachel was fuming mad and immediately called Chris to berate her. Her call was unanswered. Rachel knew she could not throw a tantrum in public.

What was she to do? Her apartment had been sold so she had no place to stay. Rachel grudgingly decided to buy herself a ticket for Europe and swore never to lay eyes on Chris again.

Chris was expecting Rachel's call and had no plans to answer her phone. As she looked at her ringing phone, she broke into laughter along with Autumn, who was beside her.

Suddenly, Autumn felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

She grabbed Chris' arm and grimaced in pain. "My stomach…" Autumn said, panic in her voice. Seeing Autumn in pain, Chris was immediately concerned.

"What's happening? What are you feeling?" she asked. Now Chris was panicking as well. "Wait here. I'll drive you to the hospital. Just let me get the car!" she nearly shouted.

Autumn and her babies were very important to the family. Everyone knew they must do everything to keep them safe.

At the hospital, Chris learned it was Anthony's day-off so she had to bring Autumn to the Emergency Department. On the way in, they met a nurse. "My sister-in-law could be going into labor. Could you find a doctor to take a look at her, please?" Chris nearly pleaded.
