The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 230

“The Old Master has reminded you to discuss your marriage with him once you recover. If everything goes well, he wants everything to be done by the end of the year. Besides, it’s been too long since the Burton Family last had any weddings.”

“Rest well, Young Master. I shall take my leave.”

After finishing his sentence, the butler immediately left the room.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s car was leaving the hospital’s parking lot. After making a circle around the hospital, she got nervous when she saw the Burtons’ butler exiting the hospital entrance.

Suddenly, Samuel’s sweet voice broke her concentration from behind. “Will you be coming to visit Daddy every day from now on?”

“Yeah. What about it, Samuel?”

“I used to think that Justin was a bad man after how he smashed the music box I gave Charlotte. Later, he pushed me to the ground and hurt me so much. But when he rescued me, he looked very brave, so I think he’s able to protect you.”

“He pushed you?”

“Yes. He did that when I went to look for him the day you got sick. It was the same day I got kidnapped by that bad man.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel revealed a frown.

“But he saved me, so I’ve already forgiven him.”

Since she was too focused on the fact that Justin had shoved Samuel to the ground, Rachel missed everything else the boy had said afterward, but that was enough for her to determine she made the right decision today.

As the most exceptional heir to the Burtons, Justin was highly respected by Arthur. Back when they got married, Arthur had expressed that Justin was allowed to date any woman even if they weren’t as outstanding as him, and he could even be with a nobody. However, the catch was that he couldn’t let the woman affect his business.

Six years ago, Rachel was nothing but menace to him, and she was someone not even close from being a suitable option to be with.

Now, in Arthur’s eyes, Chris was someone who had come forth with indecent purposes, and that made her even less of a choice.

Thus, the old man would surely notice her if she got closer to Justin—this was also the very reason she had decided to visit Justin in the hospital every day.

Later that night, the sky was already pitch black when Rachel reached the hospital.

After pulling the curtain, the nurse asked Justin if he wanted to eat for the third time.

“I’m not hungry. Thanks.”

As he said that, his eyes were fixated at the door.

Upon seeing his expectant look, Frankie instinctively felt helpless.

How the tables have turned!

“You’re here, Miss Hudson.”

Upon those words, Justin instantly lay back on the bed and exhibited an apathetic look as if he heard nothing.

Rachel put down the lunchbox and naturally scanned the room. “Where’s Charlotte?”

Meanwhile, Justin was dissatisfied with the fact that she was only paying attention to the kids. Nonetheless, Charlotte was their daughter, so there was nothing he could debate with. “There’s bound to be lots of germs in the hospital, so we had the maid get her earlier.”

Rachel opened the lunchbox and asked, “Will you be sending her back to Old Mr. Burton since no one is going to take care of her for now?”

“What do you mean?” Justin gazed at her. “Are you not going to take care of her?”

“Jolly is on a business trip, and Samuel is alone at home.”

“Charlotte’s home alone too!”

Rachel glanced at him and continued, “Eat up. I’ll have to go back early. Samuel’s alone at home, and I feel uneasy about that.”

Although she missed Charlotte, there were maids and guards at the Burton Residence, so the girl didn’t have to worry about food and security. Plus, after the kidnapping incident, no one could blame Rachel for worrying about her son being alone at home.

Upon revealing a gloomy face, Justin then questioned, “Are you still mad at me?”
