?Chapter 356:


    Relief washed over Jeffrey upon hearing her voice. “You’re awake! Oh, thank God.”


    Struggling to sit up, Rachel murmured, “I’m sorry for rming you. I didn’t mean to worry you.”


    Gripping her hand, Jeffrey reassured her, “Just rest for now. It’s enough that you’re awake.”


    “It’s okay. I feel better now.”


    It seemed she had passed out due to the pain.


    Turning to the attending physician, Rachel said, “Doctor, please take me to LivWell Hospital, thank you!”


    Her health was typically overseen by Dr. Darren Thompson. For the time being, she wished to keep her condition confidential from others.


    “Alright, just lie down and keep quiet. We’ll arrive shortly.” Rachel then closed her eyes,forted by the doctor’s assurance.


    Yet, the pain persisted relentlessly. With Jeffrey beside her, she kept her difort to herself, suffering in silence.


    Upon their arrival at the hospital, they met Dr. Darren Thompson, who had justpleted a surgery. Dressed in his scrubs, he instantly sensed the urgency of Rachel’s condition.


    Rachel spoke up first, turning to Darren. “My brother gets scared easily. I’m counting on you to take care of the rest.”


    Her intentions were clear—she preferred Darren not to disclose everything to her brother.


    Darren caught on quickly and reassured Jeffrey, “Let me take care of your sister. Why don’t you take a moment to rest?”


    “Thank you, doctor. Just… please ensure… ensure she’s okay.” Jeffrey’s nerves made his stutter more noticeable.


    Without dy, Darren escorted Rachel for her treatment.


    Upon her return, Rachel appeared much more stable, the painkillers having eased her difort significantly. Jeffrey rushed to her side the moment he saw her.


    “Don’t worry, I’m feeling a lot better.”


    “You still look very pale and frail.” Ovee with concern, Jeffrey embraced her tightly, tears marking his cheeks.

    Rachel forced a faint smile and gently ruffled his hair. “Hey, no more tears. I’m alright. Since when did you be such a crybaby?”


    Jeffrey still held her tightly.


    “Being sick can make you feel weak. Just give me a few days to get better.”


    “Really?”


    “Have I ever lied to you? Though I need to stay here a bit longer. Will you be okay on your own at home?”


    Jeffrey shook his head emphatically. “I’d rather stay here with you.”


    “That’s not necessary. Look after yourself at home. I’m in good hands here; no need to worry.”


    Yet, seeing her so unwell left him restless. “Then I’m calling Brian.”


    Rachel quickly stopped him. “He’s swamped at work right now. It’ll just worry him. Let’s not bother him.”
