The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 494

As soon as Jolly stepped out of the hospital, she saw Rachel and Justin, who had been leaning against the car doors and waiting for her. From afar, she could see that they were a perfect match for one another when it came to their heights and appearances. It was no wonder that Gloria had been rooting for them over the years, and it was her biggest wish that they would get back together.

Nevertheless, Jolly wasn’t in the mood to think about whether they would get back together. The moment she saw Rachel, she sported a dejected expression and said, “Ryan is probably dying.”

Rachel almost had the urge to spit blood when she heard that. She exchanged glances with Justin, then said helplessly, “Ryan… totally deserves it to have an ex-girlfriend like you to visit him at the hospital.”

She initially wanted to say that he was extremely unlucky, but when she realized that he finally got his retribution, she found it more appropriate to say that he deserved it. Seeing how Jolly appeared crestfallen, she reckoned. that she still had to placate her. “Well, I don’t think he’s dying. The technology is advanced when it comes to heart bypass surgery. Aren’t you aware of it since you work in the medical equipment industry?”

“You have a point, but he’ll really die if the operation fails.”

“Haven’t you always prayed that he’ll die?”

“Now, I don’t.”

“What’s wrong? Have you rekindled your love. for him?”

“Pfft, do I look like someone who’d get back together with her ex-boyfriend?” Jolly rolled her eyes. “I’m just worried that the old bat from his family will never let me off after he passes away.”

“Apart from this reason, I suppose you’re a little worried about him.”

“No.”

“Are you sure?”

“No means no. I’m not even slightly worried about him. You’re annoying, Chris. Can’t you do something to stop her, Justin?” Jolly was frustrated by her questions. “I’m starving. Let’s get some food!”

After she finished speaking, she immediately got into the car. Rachel put on a smile and shook her head helplessly. In fact, it was expected that Jolly would be concerned about Ryan’s health. Regardless of what happened in the past, they had been in love before. Despite the grudges between them, she wouldn’t want. to see him die. Moreover, he was Samuel’s father.

It was already afternoon when they returned to the summer resort. They had practically wasted the entire morning despite the lovely weather.

After hanging her coat, Rachel was ready to get into the kitchen. Before that, she comforted Jolly by saying, “Alright, stop thinking about it. What do you want for lunch?”

Jolly had been sitting still on the couch for a while since she entered the house. Upon hearing Rachel’s words, she turned her head and revealed the pack of potato chips in her hand. She batted her eyes and said, “I’d like to have some caramel pudding.”

Rachel glanced at the pack of potato chips in her hand that was practically empty as she suppressed her urge to roll her eyes and uttered slowly, “Sure.”

She had underestimated Jolly’s mental strength. Some people could bring her down, but no one in the world could make her lose her appetite. While she was joyous, she had to have an ample meal to celebrate the occasion. Even when she was depressed, she had to wolf down even more food to comfort herself-that was the Jolly they knew.

While Victor helped out in the kitchen, he commented on Jolly’s temperament by saying. “To her, food can solve all the problems in the world.”

“What’s wrong? Isn’t Gloria like that?”

“She’s not.” Victor shook his head. “Gloria isn’t willing to eat anything when she’s in a terrible mood, so I have to hide all the food in the house.”

“That’s because she wants you to comfort her and persuade her to have some food.” Rachel rolled her eyes. “Can you stop being so insensitive? Will you only be happy when she gets mad?”

Victor replied calmly, “Well, I usually put the food in the highest cupboard where she can’t reach, so she can only ask me to help her get the food.”

There was a look of surprise on Justin’s face as he gazed at Victor. Despite his usually calm demeanor, he looked at the other man with admiration as though he had learned something new. Love could indeed make people more mature; even a typical, insensitive man like Victor had learned some tricks.
