The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 473

Rachel sat on the throne. The sink and mirror were across from her, so her deathly pale face was reflected inside the mirror. Her brows were tightly furrowed and there was a stilted expression on her face as she fought an inner battle.

There were some fuzzy flashbacks in her mind at the moment, and she could remember hearing noises of someone continuously shifting away the broken boulders on top of her before she fell unconscious. She had experienced a headache from the noise.

As for whether she had spoken her last words to Justin, her memory was fuzzy about that. Was it actually a dream or not?! This is so nerve- wracking!

Rachel opened the door after washing her hands and Justin instantly moved forward to help her as soon as he heard the noise. She immediately retracted her hand. “No, I cant walk without help.”

“Are you sure about that?” Justin’s voice sounded doubtful. She held onto the wall and walked several steps forward. With much difficulty, she finally moved several meters forward. “I’m doing f- fine.”

However, those two steps that she took had caused her to sweat profusely from the effort. “You should allow me to help you.”

Justin’s voice rang out from behind and she didn’t even get the chance to reject him. Rachel was quite thin, so he could easily lift her into his arms and escort her back to the bed. She leaned against her pillow with a slightly lost look on her face. “How long will it take for me to recover?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep you company right by your side until you recover.” As soon as Rachel heard that, her expression faltered significantly. This was her worst nightmare. Don’t tell me that he’s going to carry me to the bathroom every single day?!

“That’s not necessary.” She shook her head earnestly. “I’ll hire someone to help me. I don’t mind paying at all. You’re busy dealing with matters of raising funds for the disaster, right? You can go and deal with your work. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“We’ve temporarily stopped handing out supplies for the next two days.” “Huh?” Rachel was stunned. “Why is that so? I thought that the logistics team bringing supplies had arrived in Greensborough?”

“I told them to stop.” As Justin spoke, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

“Come in.” “Mr. Burton.” The person who walked in was Harry Finnigan from Greensborough, and hel held a bag of fruits in his hand. He nodded at Rachel upon seeing her. “Hi, Miss Hudson. I’m Harry from the Greensborough welfare group. I’m here to visit you as the representative of the townspeople.”

“It’s nice to meet you.” Rachel struggled to get. up, but Justin held her back. She didn’t understand the reason behind that but she noticed Justin reply indifferently, “Have a seat. How are things at the village?”

“I’ve done everything according to your instructions and locked the necessities in the community hall building. I’ve also arranged for men to take turns guarding the place. Other. than the daily necessities and medications for the elderly, the weaker ones, those with illnesses, and pregnant women, I’ve temporarily suspended the distribution of supplies for the others.”

“Has the medical team gone back?” “The first team came back this morning and the medical supplies have been put into use. Just before I came over, the second team arrived too.”

“Did those people continue to kick up a fuss?” “They wouldn’t dare to! They realized they were at fault, so each of them had been hiding at home and they didn’t even dare to come out. I’m here to see you and discuss this matter. This is their letter of apology…”

As Harry spoke, he reached into his pocket and drew out a piece of paper. It was a handwritten letter of apology that he held and there were scrawling’s of names on the bottom and the back of the paper. There was even a thumbprint in red next to each name.

However, Justin didn’t accept the paper. Meanwhile, Harry awkwardly held the paper int his hand and sat back down.
