The Silent Wife

Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Seeing the continuous stream of incoming messages, Rachel made a decision and replied, ‘I’m really fine, just a little tired. I’m going to sleep now!

After that, no matter what Hans sent, she refused to reply. After a while, Hans sent one last message. ‘Rest well!

Then, Rachel’s phone finally went inactive, allowing her to sigh in relief, but her emotions at that moment were unbearable.

If Hans came at this hour and bumped into Justin, or if anyone else witnessed his visit, it would only cause more trouble. Rachel put down her phone and got down from the bed to pour herself some water.

It was then when she heard the sound of the door opening, and a set of high heels screeched against the floor. “Mrs. Burton! Why are you pouring water on your own? Could it be that Justin didn’t even bother to hire a care worker for you?”

Rachel didn’t even have to look up to know that it was Amber.

It was a great chance for Amber to ridicule Rachel now that the latter was hospitalized, so Amber wouldn’t pass it up so easily.

Why are you here?

“Don’t get so wary. I heard that you’re hospitalized, so I came over to visit. After all, you’re my sister, right?” Amber’s cynicism was unmistakable right from the start. “Even Dad asked me to treat you better, so apparently, the Hudson Family has to rely on you in the future.”

Amber walked up to the table. “Allow me to pour you some water; it’s just a little matter you shouldn’t concern yourself with.”

With that, she poured out a glass of water in front of Rachel and handed it to her. “There. Drink up.”

The water was still boiling hot and emitting vapor.

Rachel nodded slightly in thanks, but she never believed that Amber would be so kindhearted all of a sudden.

Just as expected, right before Rachel was about to take the glass, Amber let go.

The glass went crashing on the floor, and as it shattered, the hot water splashed in all directions.

Rachel didn’t manage to dodge in time, so the hot water scalded her feet and caused her to inhale sharply in pain. She had to use a corner of the table as support in order to stabilize herself.

“Oops! I’m so sorry. I thought you’d hold it better.”
