The Silent Wife

Chapter 28

The next day was a fine day.

Sue woke up early in the morning to have breakfast with her son.

Sitting in front of the table, Julian couldn’t help but glance upstairs and ask, “Where’s Rachel?”

By right, he didn’t have to care about Rachel this much, but he just couldn’t bear seeing Justin’s attitude toward her.

“Why do you have to bring her up this early in the morning? You’ve just spoiled my day!” Sue put a peeled egg onto Julian’s plate and said, “Have an egg, son.”

Julian frowned. “Mom, please be kinder toward Rachel. It’s not easy for her either.”

Sue was displeased on hearing that. “You just got back recently. You don’t know about our current family situation. Originally, Justin was supposed to marry Amber-the second daughter of the Hudson Family, but Rachel tricked Amber and palmed herself off to marry Justin. Are you expecting me to be kind to a woman like her? In my opinion, Justin should divorce her and cast her out.”

Julian’s frown deepened as he had never known this story.

Just as they were talking, the sound of footsteps coming down from upstairs came forth from the living room-it was Rachel getting ready to head out.

Rachel stood quietly and made a gesture. I’m sorry

“Do you think I’ll understand your hand gestures?” Sue rebuked crabbily. “Where are you going early in the morning?”

‘Hospital.’ Rachel wrote in her notebook.

Sue looked disgusted. “Don’t you know you’ll carry home a lot of bacteria going to the hospital every day?”

When she said this, she had completely forgotten the fact that her son was a doctor, and the period of him staying in the hospital was way much longer than Rachel’s. Therefore, the number of patients and bacteria that he got in touch with was much more than Rachel too.

Seeing Rachel being yelled at by Sue, Julian quickly stood up from the dining table and interrupted, “I’m done eating, Mom.”

“Already? Eat more, Julian.”
