The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115

“Is this why you quit your former job and went to work at the Burton Group?” Janice looked at Rachel. “Did Justin ask you to look into it?”

Rachel averted her eyes in the face of Janice’s questioning. I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.

“Hey!” Since she was unable to stop Rachel, Janice could only watch as her car drove off into the distance.

When Rachel reached Nancy’s place, she pressed the doorbell several times, but nobody answered the door. Just then, the door of the opposite house suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out. “Are you Madam Tiller’s granddaughter?” She looked Rachel up and down with a look of puzzlement. “Madam Tiller has been sent to the hospital. Don’t you know that?”

Immediately, Rachel’s expression changed upon hearing the woman’s words.

When Rachel arrived at Tran-Q’s emergency department in a hurry, she nearly bumped into a nurse holding some medicine. She gesticulated at the medical staff at the nurses’ station for a long time, but no one understood what she meant.

Just then, a familiar male voice sounded from behind. “Rachel?”

Hi, Julian. Rachel turned around to see Julian. After she explained the situation to him, Julian asked the staff at the nurses’ station. Upon learning that Nancy was receiving emergency treatment, he hurriedly took Rachel there.

“Hi, Madam Tiller.”

“Hey.” Nancy, who was lying on the sickbed, was startled for a moment when she saw Julian and Rachel. “Why are you here, Rachel?”

Rachel’s eyes were red with worry. How are you, Grandma?

“Oh, I’m fine. I just took a tumble and grazed my skin; it will heal once I go home and apply some cream to it. But Victor was worried, and he insisted on sending me to the hospital.”

Rachel followed Nancy’s gaze and saw the young man standing nearby. It’s you?

The young man’s blond hair was particularly obtrusive in the white-painted emergency department. Isn’t he the young man who had a fit of epilepsy in the neighborhood that day? Rachel thought to herself.

At the sight of Rachel, the young man scratched his head with a look of embarrassment. He explained awkwardly. “Madam Tiller is old, and I was worried that it would be bad if she had a sprain or bone fracture, so I brought her here. I have probably overreacted.”

Rachel shook her head. Thank you.

After that, Nancy took Rachel’s hand. “I have to thank Victor for helping me catch the thief. Didn’t you say that you were coming over for dinner? I thought of going out to buy some fish, and I ended up having my handbag snatched. I went after the thief, but I fell while doing so.”

How could you go after a thief at such an old age? You shouldn’t have done that. Rachel was exasperated. What should I do if anything happens to you?

Julian comforted her at one side by saying, “It’s fine as long as Madam Tiller is okay. I have asked the doctor who applied medicine to her wound-it’s only a superficial wound, so she doesn’t need to be hospitalized.”

Only then did Rachel breathe a sigh of relief. Still, her heart ached a lot when she saw the gauze bandage on

Nancy’s knee.

Victor then carried Nancy piggyback to Rachel’s car, whereas Julian went out after them and handed the medicine to Rachel. “The dosage and directions for use have been written inside. I’ll find time to visit Madam

Tiller over the next few days, so you don’t have to be too worried.”

Thank you.

“Don’t mention it.” Julian took a glance at Rachel’s car. Then, he asked with a frown, “Do you know that young man?”

I guess so. We met once before.
