The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 231

“What is it?”

“There’s an agreement file in the bedside dresser.”

Rachel bent down and started going through the dresser. “Which one?”

“The black one.”

“They’re all black.”

“Keep searching. It was the business plan we discussed during the meeting.”

Upon seeing a familiar file, she grabbed it and got back up while saying, “Is it this one…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her cheek bumped into something. When she turned her head while Justin was lying on his stomach, she eliminated the distance between them as the tips of their noses brushed against each other, sharing a breath of air. All of a sudden, the air in the room turned hot.

Upon Justin’s close-in, Rachel’s primitive instinct acted up before she forcefully shoved him away.

After letting out a muffled yell, Justin fell back to his bed. “What are you doing?”

“I should be asking you that instead!”

As her heart palpitated, Rachel leaned against the wall while her body shook. She thought about how they had almost kissed, and her mind continued to dwell on it.

Before Justin could say anything, she tossed him the file and swiftly exited the ward.

The door slammed shut with a bang before Justin forced himself up and revealed a smile.

On the other hand, Rachel had yet to calm herself down as she was leaving the hospital.

Justin must have gone insane! How is he so different already? During that unintentional yet intimate moment earlier, she almost went in for the kiss.

And that was the most fearsome incident that had happened ever since her return to Riverdale.

Regardless of the memory loss, he’s still Justin Burton—he’s not someone else.

After repetitively reminding herself that, Rachel started her car and navigated into the night as it got even darker.

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Hudson Residence, Jefferey had just ended a call with Arthur.

“What did he say?”

Amber asked with an eager tone.

To that, her father replied, “He wants both the families to meet up for a discussion to decide on the wedding day when Justin is discharged from the hospital.”

“Really?”

Amber was visibly on cloud nine.

“Don’t get this excited. All this time, did you even care to visit him in the hospital?”

Upon hearing that, the woman was taken aback.

When she had heard about his hospitalization, she had actually gone to visit him once. However, since Justin was unconscious at that time, she stayed for a bit and promptly departed. “He just woke up this morning, so I didn’t manage to go…”

“If you delay your visit any further, I think that it’ll affect your marriage with him in no time.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“The hospital staff informed me that Rachel was there.”

“Why is she there?”

“To please him, of course—any man would buy that.”

Amber was visibly disturbed as she shouted, “How shameless of her!”

“There’s something else.”

“What is it?”
