The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 422

Upon hearing Jessica’s screams, Rachel ran in quickly, “What’s the matter?” As soon as she saw the mess on the bed, her expression suddenly changed and she immediately lifted the part of the sheet covered with steaming scrambled eggs and moved it aside. “Were you burned?”

Jessica nodded, her eyes red-rimmed as she complained, “He must’ve done it on purpose!” The veins on Justin’s temples jumped. He wanted to say something, but Rachel was completely unconcerned about him.

The hospital’s blanket wasn’t thick, so the liquid from the dish immediately penetrated through the thin layer. At this moment, Jessica’s hospital gown was wrapped around her leg like a hot towel.

Rachel dared not touch it, so she hurriedly pressed the bedside bell and called for the nurse to deal with it. Justin wanted to explain, ‘Rae.” “You should leave first.”

She didn’t even look at him, and her tone was cold. He clenched his fists, then shot Jessica a cold glance before leaving the ward. “Fortunately, there is a sheet in between, so there’s only a slight burn. There aren’t any injuries.”

“Thank you, doctor.” “Don’t mention it, but you’ll have to take the patient’s fractured calf seriously. You have to always be careful. Otherwise, how can it possibly recover well?”

“We’ll be more careful.” After seeing the doctor off, Rachel’s suspended heart finally felt at ease. She asked Jessica, “Does it still hurt?” Jessica’s eyes were still red, but she was stubborn. “Of course it hurts. You can give it a try and see whether it hurts.”

“You said earlier that Justin deliberately spilled the scrambled eggs. What do you mean?” At this moment, Justin was outside and he could clearly hear what they were saying.

Jessica deliberately looked understanding and generous. “I said that out of anger earlier. I don’t think he did it on purpose. I wasn’t careful. I didn’t hold it properly.”

Rachel frowned. “In the future, you’ll eat breakfast at the table.” “He asked me what my purpose was for coming to Riverdale, though. He looked very fierce and asked me not to make things difficult for you.”

“He really said that?” “Why would I lie to you about this? Am I making things difficult for you? He was so fierce that it was as if he was going to eat me.”

Her face sank slightly, then she set everything down before going out. Justin had been staying in the living room outside, listening to what Rachel was saying. Seeing Rachel coming out, he immediately explained, ‘Rachel, she deliberately knocked over the scrambled eggs.”

He didn’t believe that Rachel wouldn’t be able to discern such a simple trick, but he was still afraid that she would be concerned to the point of confusion that it would cause an unnecessary misunderstanding between them.

She replied, “I know.” He was taken aback, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Rachel saying. “What did you say to her, though?” “What do you mean by that?”

“You told her not to make things difficult for me? Does it look like she’s making things difficult for me?” Rachel clenched her fists, her expression sullen. “Jess came to Riverdale from abroad all alone. She’s not familiar with this place, and after so long, she never approached me. I was the one who found her. Do you think she’s making things difficult for me? Can you stop being so self-righteous?”

A stunned Justin stared at Rachel. “I was worried about you.” ‘I don’t need your worry. You’re just being self- righteous. Jess is only seventeen years old. What can she do to me? Even if she really has a grudge against both of us, it’s only natural for her to feel that way!”

“It makes sense for her to hate me. After all, I did hurt her brother, but what did you do wrong?” “My biggest mistake was to involve Hans between us. My biggest mistake was marrying you back then!”

Justin’s face paled and he couldn’t say a word. On the hospital bed in the bedroom, Jessica quietly listened to the quarrel between the two people outside, and a cold gleam flashed across her eyes. After he left, it took a while before Rachel went into the room. “Jess, have some breakfast.”
