The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

When Victor finally returned, the sky was already pitch black.

“Grandma is fine, Rachel.”

Upon entering the house, he relayed everything to her and said, “While you were being sent here last night, they picked Grandma up and brought her back to her place as well.”

Rachel, who was sitting at the dining table, regained her senses after being stunned for a few seconds.

‘That’s good to hear.’

“I’ve done what you told me to do, Rachel. I told Grandma that you got into a fight with Justin, but you’re currently resting at home right now and can’t go visit her for the time being. Grandma bought it and had me bring some fish soup to you.”

As he spoke, he placed the thermal container on the dining table. “Come and have some while it’s still hot.”

However, Rachel simply pursed her lips. She seemed to be rather exhausted.

‘I don’t have the appetite. Why don’t you eat up instead, and I’ll go get some rest!

After grabbing her phone, she walked out of the dining room.

Victor watched her leaving back, and he couldn’t stop worrying.

“What’s wrong with Rachel, Madam Mary?”

As she grabbed a new pair of cutlery, Madam Mary shook her head and replied, “I have no idea. She looked fine earlier.”

From the corner of his eyes, Victor glanced at the remote control on the dining table as he thought about it.

After returning to her room, Rachel never showed herself again.

Later on, Madam Mary prepared a glass of hot milk and went upstairs. She knocked on her door, but there wasn’t any response. “I’m coming in, Mrs. Burton.”

“Aaaaah!”

Upon hearing the shriek from the second floor, Victor sprung up from his seat at the dining table and stormed upstairs in a flash.

Rachel was sitting on the carpet, and her bottoms were full of blood.

“Rachel!”

“Hurry up and call Mr. Burton!”

Madam Mary had fast reflexes, and she quickly said, “This is a sign of a miscarriage. The baby is doomed if we delay any further!”

“Get the phone. Where’s the phone?”

Victor searched for his phone anxiously. “I don’t have that b*stard’s phone number!”

“I have it. Let me, let me.”

Meanwhile, Justin was having dinner with Amber.

“Justin, now that the entire Riverdale knows about our engagement, even my father cannot do anything about it even though he’s against it.”

Justin answered curtly, “Mr. Hudson was planning to send you abroad. What’s going to happen to the business over there if you stay here?”

“Nothing. There’s no business over there except for some minor things that my dad doesn’t want any outsiders to handle, so I’ll have to visit there once or twice every year. It’s not like I’ll have to stay there for extended periods.”

“Is that so? Will you be going this year as well?”

“Yeah.”

“When are you going? Give me an estimate.”

Upon hearing that, Amber was visibly skeptical as she studied his face. “Why are you asking me all this,

Justin?”

He maintained the same expression and explained, “Didn’t you say that you wanted an engagement ceremony? I’m just fearing that your trip might clash with our engagement plans.”

Amber was overjoyed upon hearing his words. “Are you serious?”

“Of course I’m being serious. As long as you like it, I’ll do anything to make you happy.”

“You’re so nice to me, Justin.”

Just as he was about to ask something else, his pocket started vibrating.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Burton, Mrs. Burton is bleeding profusely, and the child may be at great risk. Where are you? There’s no hospital nearby.”

At once, Justin’s eyes sank.

“What happened?” Amber’s concerned tone came from across the table.

However, Justin regained his senses and answered, “It’s nothing.”

“Hello? Mr. Burton?”

After yelling at the phone for a long time, Madam Mary realized that the call had already been disconnected.
