The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

A week later, Nancy was discharged from the hospital.

Ever since Rachel indicated that she was about to regain her memories, Jefferey’s attitude toward her had warmed considerably. He called her multiple times in that week itself and invited her home for dinner

His behavior led her to confirm that her mother’s death was connected to the medication formula.

“I can take care of myself, Rae. Why did you hire a nurse?”

Inside her bedroom, Nancy was looking out through the door and she grumbled a little at Rachel’s waste of money.

As Rachel stacked a pile of clothing onto the shelves, she glanced up at Nancy with a smile. The nurse was introduced by Dr. Peters, she signed. She’ll come over every day only to help you make your meals and tidy up the place. If anything happens, she can also contact me in a timely manner.

Although Rachel hadn’t accepted Julian’s offer to help her find a place, she had accepted his assistance to introduce a nurse instead.

“What can happen to me? I’m fully recovered now.” After looking around for a moment, Nancy sighed. “It is true that this place is a little too large for a single person. It’s such a pity that you can’t come over to stay with me.”

Rachel lowered her head in guilt without much explanation.

Nancy had assumed Rachel was still living at Hudson Residence, in which Rachel saw no need to clarify the situation as she was considered a member of the Hudson Family.

“Dr. Peters is a good man, Rae. We should find an opportunity to thank him.”

Yes, Dr. Peters is a good man, Rachel agreed.

“How about this? Have him come over for dinner this weekend. I’ll make us all some pierogi.”

The moment she heard Nancy’s words, Rachel stopped stacking the clothes for a while and immediately shook her head. He’s an extremely busy man.

“Whether he’s occupied or not is his business because we have to show our gratitude.”

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to change her grandmother’s mind, Rachel surrendered and agreed.

When the time came, she simply needed to tell Nancy that Julian wasn’t free.

As if she saw through her granddaughter at a glance, Nancy responded, “Well, call him now and arrange a time. I want to ask him whether there is anything I should avoid eating, anyway.”

At once, Rachel lifted her head and glanced at her watch. I have no time, Grandma. I have to be at work soon.

“Oh, Rae…”

It was only after she slammed the door shut that she let out a sigh of relief.

She knew that her grandmother was intending to set her up with Julian, but she knew that it was impossible. As she couldn’t explain much to Nancy, she could only avoid her grandmother for now.

Moreover, she hadn’t lied, her leave had ended today and she would have to head to the City Council Library in the afternoon for work,

Meanwhile, at the Burton Group, the engineering department was holding a project summary meeting for their bid inside a conference room.

“The bidding results for the Brentwood New City project have been released. Everyone’s hard work during this period has paid off, thanks to President Burton’s great support of our engineering department too. Once the contract has been signed, we’ll be able to start implementing our overall plan…”

After Justin had listened in for a while, Frankie entered the meeting room after answering a phone call and whispered, “We’ve finished investigating your email leak, President Burton.”

“What did you find?”

“We have tracked the IP address of the sender to an address abroad and managed to pinpoint a specific location.”

Justin frowned at that.

When the meeting ended, he returned to his office,

With a solemn expression, Frankie handed the investigation report to him while saying, “Here’s the specific address.”

When Justin saw the ‘SG Conglomerate’ logo on the report, his gaze slightly darkened. “Are you sure it came from a computer inside SG Conglomerate?”

Frankie nodded. “According to this report, five of the floors in this SG Conglomerate building are rented out. For now, we’ve only managed to pinpoint the IP address to this building but not to a specific computer there. The network in this building is protected and our technology department hasn’t been able to hack into it yet.”
