Chapter 64
Seeing that she suddenly appeared and was seeing the patient, Itzel stood up with a smile. “Why are you so busy today?”
“I have something to talk to you about!” Rachel’s face darkened.
Itzel immediately told the patient to go out first. After the patient went out, Itzel closed the door. Rachel sat down with a sullen face. “I have something to ask you. Is Amber really not good at giving birth?”
Fortunately, Shannon had already informed Itzel. Otherwise, she would have been caught off guard by Rachel’s sudden visit. Itzel pulled Rachel to sit down and asked, “What happened?”
“Amber has a child now, but didn’t you say that she couldn’t get pregnant at that time?” Rachel asked.
“Amber has a child? Are you sure?” Itzel had already received Shannon’s hint. She had a way to deal with it and looked surprised. “It’s impossible. She can’t have an affair with a child.”
“How would I know? Back then, you said that it was impossible for her to be pregnant.” Rachel stared at Itzel. “Because I trusted your medical skills, I forced her to divorce Rodney.”
“It’s too surprising! It’s really surprising! I’ve seen so many infertility diseases and cured so many diseases. I’ve never seen such a situation like her. I’m just telling the truth. You know that women can’t have children if they can’t get engaged. After so many treatments, she still can’t get pregnant. You want a child so much, so…”
“But why is she giving birth now?”
“I don’t know much about this. There are many cases of a woman’s pregnancy. Not only her own problems, but also the outside environment will be affected. For example, the pressure can cause the pregnancy. I once treated a white-collar worker. Her pregnancy rate was too big, which led to ten years of pregnancy after marriage. Later, she quit her job and became pregnant for a year. There wasCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
another reason why a patient got pregnant because of her mother-in-law’s pressure. Later, the little couple moved out and became pregnant.” Itzel spoke with confidence.
“In your opinion, Amber won’t have a baby because of me?” Rachel was very angry.
“That’s not what I meant. Didn’t Amber take so much medicine at that time? Maybe the medicine was effective. After all, she didn’t come to me for a check-up later, so I don’t know the specific situation of her,” Itzel replied.
Ever since Amber and Rodney had moved out of the hospital, they had never come to the hospital for an examination. Indeed, she did not know Amber’s situation. It was Amber’s good luck that she had come to the hospital to do a medical check-up. If she showed signs of having an affair with him, she would definitely make her unable to continue. Of course, she was just saying the latter part of the sentence in her stomach.
“But you didn’t say that at that time. You said that her illness couldn’t be cured. I have been friends with you for so many years, and I believe in your medical skills. I began to think of a way because you said that she couldn’t cure her illness.” Rachel stared at Itzel. If Itzel hadn’t said that, she wouldn’t have been desperate and naturally wouldn’t have treated Amber like that.
“My dear Mrs. Barron, why are you so angry? Amber’s status doesn’t match Rodney’s at all. Besides, she is not filial to you and often makes you angry. Isn’t it good to divorce her? Look at your current future daughter-in-law. She has a good appearance, a good family background, and she is also filial to you. You can’t find such a daughter-in-law. Why are you angry with a unworthy woman?” Itzel said with a smile.
“That’s true, but you don’t know how distant Rodney and I are because of that woman. I only have one son, how can I bear to make him sad?”
“We’ve been friends for so many years. I thought of these ideas when I saw that you were anxious for your good. If it weren’t for our good relationship, could I have said these words to you?” Itzel looked aggrieved.
Rachel thought about it and agreed. Itzel had known her for so many years and had always been on good terms with her. If she hadn’t been in a bad mood, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to think of a way for herself. Thinking of this, she sighed faintly. “I’m mainly worried. You said that if Rodney knew that woman would have a baby, he wouldn’t know what he would do with me.”
“Don’t let him know.”
“How could Rodney not know when we meet in a city?” Rachel sighed.
“Then you should get him engaged to Celia as soon as possible. Rodney values friendship. As long as he is engaged, he won’t think about it anymore.”
“This is the only way.”
After leaving, Rachel immediately picked up the phone and called Shannon. “Rachel also knows about that. You have to find a way quickly.”
“So fast!” Shannon was shocked. “It’s true that paper can’t hold fire! What did she say?”
“I’ve already tricked her into asking about what happened to me. She’s just worried that her son will know the consequences of this matter. You have to find a way to get Celia and the engagement done before Rodney finds out.”
“I know. I’m trying to figure it out.” Shannon hung up the phone and said to Celia, “Go and buy some of Rachel’s favorite fruit to see her immediately. By the way, find out what she’s up to.”
When Rachel returned home, she was surprised to find that Celia was chatting with her aunt in her own house. When she saw Rachel, she stood up from the sofa and said, “I’ve been busy these days and have no time to see you. I happened to be free today, so I came directly without making a call. Ms. Grant, you won’t blame me for being rude, will you?”
“Celia bought a lot of your favorite fruits.” The auntie showed the fruits that Celia bought to Rachel.
Rachel was in a better mood because of Celia’s arrival. She sat down and said, “Just come here. Why do you want to buy fruit?” Then she ordered the auntie, “Go buy some dishes that Celia likes to eat immediately.”
The auntie agreed. Celia stood up thoughtfully and said, “I’ll wash the fruit for you.”
“No.” Rachel stopped Celia and sighed slightly. Celia took the opportunity to ask, “You don’t look well. Did you encounter something troublesome?”
Rachel nodded. “Yes, I met Amber in the restaurant today.”
“Did she say something unpleasant to you?”
“No. Celia, Amber has a child.”
“Ah!” Celia looked surprised. “Amber gave birth to a baby? Is there a mistake?”
“I’ve asked her. It’s her child. She looks very much like her.” Rachel felt a little upset when she thought of Amber’s sarcasm of her. She knew nothing about giving birth to a beautiful son, but his son was still single. The grandson she wanted to hug was still missing. She was really unwilling to give up.
“Rodney, do you know about this?”
“I don’t think you know what’s going on right now. You know Rodney’s temper. He’s like a son to Amber. If he knew that she could give birth to a child, he would definitely make a scene with me!” After saying that, he remembered that his future daughter-in-law was sitting in front of him and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Even if Rodney knew, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Since she has a child, she must be married. It won’t affect you.”
Rachel didn’t have the confidence to finish the last sentence.
Celia remained silent. What she was worried about right now was not whether Amber would give birth to a child, but whether the child was Rodney. It seemed that Rachel had not thought about it in this way, but it did not mean that she had always thought otherwise. Sooner or later, she would doubt it.
Rachel loved the child so much, and Amber gave birth to another son. If the child was really Rodney’s, Rachel would be happy and faint. At that time, she would see her grandson in her heart, so she would naturally not help her.
Without Rachel’s support, it would be daydreaming for her to be together with Rodney.
Seeing that Celia was silent, Rachel knew that she must be worried. “Don’t worry. I will keep an eye on Rodney. Your relationship with Rodney will not change.”
Rachel’s words of comfort had no effect on Celia, but now she could only stabilize Rachel and let Rachel feel guilty about herself. She had no time to think about the problem of the child. She sighed deeply and said, “If I knew that she would have a baby, I shouldn’t have been pregnant on behalf of her. If I hadn’t, she wouldn’t have divorced Rodney. It’s all my fault.”
Rachel was very satisfied with Celia’s kindness. What she wanted was such a obedient and filial daughter-in-law. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t be burdened. I’m telling you this because we are going to be a family soon. I have to let you know what you should know. Don’t say that Rodney
doesn’t know that Amber has a child. Even if he knows, what can he do? I will never let such a woman who has no respect for others enter the Barron family again!”
Celia looked grateful. “I know that Ms. Grant is good to me. I will be filial to you in the future!”
As she spoke, the auntie returned with some groceries. Rachel ended the topic and picked up the phone. “I’ll call Rodney to come back for dinner tonight.”
The phone was quickly connected. Rodney’s faint voice sounded. “Mom, what’s the matter?”
“Child, can’t I call you if nothing happens?” Rachel’s tone was full of blame.
“I’m very busy!” Rodney replied.
“No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. I asked my aunt to buy your favorite dishes. You come back to eat. By the way, Celia is here.” Rachel didn’t mention Celia, but when she mentioned Celia, Rodney frowned and said, “Mom, I really don’t have time today. I still have a lot of things to deal with!”
Rachel was unhappy. “You haven’t been home for a long time, so make an exception today. Keep your work until tomorrow.”
“This won’t do. After today’s matter is over, let’s talk about this very important matter. We can’t drag things out!” Rodney did not give him any face at all. “I’m hanging up!”
Rodney hung up the phone without saying anything, and Rachel’s face darkened. Celia comforted him obediently, “Rodney must be very busy with work. Don’t be angry, I’ll just eat with you!”
Celia’s obedience made Rachel even angrier. “I don’t believe that he will be so busy that he doesn’t even have time to eat. Celia, wait at home. I have to go to the company and call him back!”
Rachel went to the company angrily. When she arrived at the company, she found that Rodney was not in the company at all. So she immediately called him, but he directly hung up her phone. Rachel called him again, but he turned off the phone.
Rachel was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger if she couldn’t find her son, so she had to ask the driver to drive home.
After returning home, the aunt had already prepared the meal. Celia heard the sound of the car and came to open the door with a smile. When she saw Rachel come in alone with a gloomy face, she was extremely disappointed.
Rachel and Celia did not have a good time eating this meal, and both of them felt uncomfortable. Rachel was angry that her son was disobedient, while Celia was worried about her situation.
Rodney had always been obedient to Rachel. Now that Rachel had not brought her back to the company, he knew very well that something that they did not know had happened.
What exactly was going on? Could it be that Rodney already knew that Amber would give birth to a child?
Rodney had always been very concerned about Amber. He should be paying attention to every move of hers. The matter of the child could not be hidden from him. However, since he knew that Amber had a child, why was it so calm?
There was only one way to explain that the child was not Rodney. Her heart was in a mess and naturally, she was not in the mood to stay in the Barron family.
After dinner, Celia sat with Rachel for a while and said goodbye. Rachel was in no mood to ask her to stay and asked the auntie to send Celia out.
Auntie sent Celia to the door and took the initiative to say, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you with anything.”
Celia nodded. “Thank you very much!”
