The Silent Wife

Chapter 216

It was already dark outside when everyone came out after signing the documents. “Let’s have dinner together, Rachel.” Victor was still delighted. “I haven’t seen you for so many years, and I have lots of stuff to tell you about.”

“No!” Before Rachel could respond, Charlotte suddenly sprang toward them from Justin’s side, clinging onto Rachel’s leg while eyeing Victor with hostility. “Mommy is going home with me. She’s not going to dinner with some bad teacher.”

Victor was startled for a moment before he recalled that Rachel had given birth to a daughter before leaving back then. “Rachel, could Charlotte be…”

Rachel gave him a slight nod with tenderness in her eyes.

“Then what about Samuel?”

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it some other day when there’s an opportunity.” Rachel then glanced behind her. “It’s already getting late today, and I may have to go to the hospital, so let’s meet up some other time, Victor.”

Victor was somewhat disappointed. Still, he replied, “Okay.”

“Why don’t we exchange our contact numbers?” Rachel took out her cell phone first.

“Sure.” After that, Victor hailed a taxi and left. However, he warned Justin before he left by saying, “If you dare to harm a hair on Rachel’s head, I will never let you off!”

Justin’s face darkened at Victor’s words, whereas Rachel quickly urged the taxi driver to drive. When Rachel, Justin, and the two kids were the only ones left at the police station’s entrance, Rachel shot a glance at him. “Let’s go.”

However, Justin was as cross as a bear. “Are you letting him off just like that? I haven’t gotten round to examining my injury yet.”

“Are you coming or not?”

“Where are we going?”

“To the hospital” Rachel shot back icily. “Don’t you want to have your injury examined? Let’s get it done. I’ll take the responsibility if there’s anything wrong with it.”

When Rachel registered Justin at the hospital’s emergency department, she ran into Julian, who happened to be on duty today. He asked, “Why are you here in the hospital? Are you unwell?”
