Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 611 - Bab 620

She tugged at Rachel’s shirt, slightly worried.“Rachel, let’s not talk to him so much.”Rachel patted the back of Cecilia’s hand, reassuring her.She took Cecilia’s advice and ignored Howard. Provoking him wasn’t a wise thing to do, seeing how he was capable of anything.Howard, on the other hand, refused to simply let it go. He looked smugly at Rachel.“Rachel, don’t get too full of yourself. I heard that Tyler’s trying to get his hands on the most popular lawyer in Yurelia City, who’s never lost a lawsuit in his entire career. I hate to break it to you, but my father beat him to it. Be prepared to lose the lawsuit! Don’t even think about begging me. I’ve lost all interest in you.”To that, Rachel arched a brow disdainfully at him.Howard sputtered, “Even if you stand naked in front of me, I wouldn’t want to touch you!”Rachel told herself that it was pointless trying to talk sense into Howard, given the current situation. However, she couldn’t stand how arrogant that bastard

Howard raised his hand, making the nurse behind him take a few steps back.“Doctor, I’m his family. How is the patient?”“He’s out of danger for now, but he’s advanced in years. His family should take note not to agitate him.”Howard’s gaze landed on Rachel; he gnashed his teeth, as though wishing he could tear her to pieces. “Rachel, hear that? The doctor said that my father is advanced in years and can’t be agitated!”Rachel pursed her lips and muttered, “I was just speaking the truth. How was I agitating him?”Her few words of truth were nothing compared to Steven's indiscriminate rebuking and venting of his anger on Tyler.Howard’s body shook with anger as he pointed a trembling finger at Rachel and Tyler. “You two are in this together! Just you wait. We’ll see who’s the ultimate victor!”The doctor yelled at Howard, “What’s with the ruckus? Your family is still under emergency treatment! How could you start a fight right outside the operating theatre? As for those who are u

At the mention of his company, Tyler’s eyes turned solemn.“You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways.”Rachel knew from Tyler’s tone that Steven had really gone all out this time.She didn’t pursue the matter with Tyler. She knew how prideful he was, especially with Yale around.Xavier soon found them after they returned to the hospital. “I rushed over the moment I heard the news! What’s with the two of you, doing a disappearing act?”Tyler gave him a half-smile. “We had something to attend to.”Xavier gave Tyler a knowing look as he surveyed him from head to toe. “Something to attend to? Tell me, what are you capable of doing in your current state?”Xavier had the knack of nagging endlessly when he was in the mood.“It’s bad enough that you left the hospital while injured. Why did you take her with you, too? How is the hospital going to bear the consequences if anything happens to you both?”Tyler looked unsympathetically at Xavier. “You’re getting naggier with age,

“Yes, family has the right to decide whether a patient should continue with a treatment. From a doctor's perspective, I think there's no need to keep him in the hospital and make him go through this torture when things have come to this point. Stay with him during his final days,” Xavier said.“Okay.”After Xavier left, Rachel returned to her ward. Tyler could tell at a glance that something was troubling her.“What’s wrong? Something on your mind?”Rachel was lost in her thoughts, but she quickly recovered. She shook her head, pretending that everything was fine.“Nothing. Dr. Jenkins updated me about my father just now, and I’m planning to bring him home.”Rachel was wondering about a more suitable place for Jim to settle down in, and if she should let him return to the Lloyds.She hadn’t quite decided on that yet. Her relationship with the Lloyds right now was in tatters, what with her grandfather’s hostile attitude toward her, treating her like an outsider.She refused to

Rachel said confidently, “Don’t worry. Not only do I have funds to provide, but I can even close deals for your company. As long as we have new partners coming in, there’s no fear of the company going down.”Yale said with a troubled look in his eyes, “But Mr. Ziegler has made it clear that any company that partners with us will be pitting itself against the Zieglers.”“That’s fine. Think about it. No matter how much other companies fear the Zieglers, their desire to earn money will outstrip their concern over offending the Zieglers.”She had witnessed how greedy some of these people can be.They speak so self-righteously, but always end up succumbing to the temptation of money and power, sometimes to the extent of betraying their friends and allies. At times, when the temptation of money is great enough, they would even betray their own brother, not to mention allies.The confident glint in Rachel’s eyes persuaded Yale that she knew what she was talking about. He gave her a bow
