Chapter 89: I’m Hungry
All of a sudden, she lifted the quilt and her tone was a little rash, “Go on it you still want to be angry at
me. The baby and I are hungry, so I’m heading out to eat.”
Before one of her legs could reach the bedside, Kenneth stopped her as he threw the quilt on her
again. He stood up and said in a low voice, “Lie down, I’ll go buy.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Rachel immediately stopped moving. She didn’t have much strength in the first place. Hence, she
shouldn’t act tough now.
She lifted the quilt to her chest and pressed it under her arms. She looked at the man who was about to
leave, and muttered, “Don’t buy porridge or soup. I want to eat rice, with extra dishes.”
“...”
Kenneth turned around and took a glance at her. He smiled gently, spoiling her with love, “Alright, wait
for me.”
Her eyes watched the man closing the door. After making sure that he had left, Rachel wiped her cold
sweats away and took a deep breath. Then, she lifted the quilt and quickly looked for her cell phone.
When she turned on her phone, she suddenly halted for a moment. Should she call Magi or Miles?
As she was hesitating and entered the first digit of Magi’s phone number, she received an incoming call
from Miles.
She stunned for two seconds, and answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Rachel, you’re awake.” The voice on the other end of the call was filled with joy. “Are you feeling better
now? Ms. Bailey and I are planning to visit you in the hospital later.”
Rachel didn’t answer him. She remained silent for a while and slowly asked, “Yesterday... did the both
of you take me to the hospital?”
“Yeah, you had a fever last night. You fainted on the way back, so Ms. Bailey and I could only send you
to the hospital. After that, Mr. Shawn came. He asked us to come back first, saying that he would take
care of you there.”
Judging from Miles’s words, there was nothing unusual with his tone.
Rachel frowned as she lowered her voice, “You two... know everything now.”
“Don’t worry, Rachel. Mr. Shawn had already told us. We promise we won’t tell anyone about this.”
Miles smiled, and whispered suddenly, “Oh, by the way, Ms. Bailey doesn’t know you’re pregnant. The
doctor told me first, I haven’t spoke to her yet.”
Rachel seemed to have seen this coming, so she didn’t have much thought about it, “I’m sorry, Miles.
I’ve been hiding this from you.”
Miles laughed a little and said joyfully, “There’s no need to apologize. You even told me about the
divorce, so what’s wrong with being pregnant? I’m just a little surprised that the person that I’ve been
travelling around with for so many days is actually a pregnant woman. When the doctor told me about
it, I was really surprised. I even wonder if there’s something wrong with the results. You don’t look like a
few-months pregnant woman at all.”
“Well, you can’t hide the truth in that case. But Rachel, it’s still too dangerous for you. The next
business trip, you should let the subordinates to go on your behalf. If not, I can go with Ms. Bailey too.”
Rachel listened to his exaggerated tone. Although she couldn’t laugh, his concern made her feel
touched. She replied with a gentle voice, “Miles, thank you. I’ll explain it to you in the future.”
“Don’t worry about that. But I think since Mr. Shawn is here, he wouldn’t let anything happened to you.”
Rachel was taken aback, “Yesterday, what else... did he tell you?”
“He? You mean Mr. Shawn? Speaking of this, Rachel, I was a little dissatisfied.” Miles’s tone became
slightly furious, “So, you’re really friends with Mr. Shawn. I don’t think I was acting smart last night then.
You should have called him earlier. If you didn’t eat there, you wouldn’t have to drink wine, and you
wouldn’t end up in the hospital now too.”
Rachel didn’t know what to respond for a moment, all she could do was laugh sarcastically.
It seemed Kenneth didn’t tell Miles about their relationship. Since he thought they were only friends,
she should let the rest for him to speculate. Otherwise, it would be even awkward for her if she
continued to explain further.
Guessing that the man might be coming back soon, Rachel hung up the call after casually briefing
about some work to Miles.
After throwing her phone aside, she pulled the quilt and laid down nicely.
