Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 71 - Bab 80

The doctor wrote and threw a prescription in Rachel's way. "Alright, go settle the bill and get an IV drip."Tyler reached out to grab the prescription, but Rachel beat him to it. She gripped the prescription tightly in her hands. "Thank you, doctor."Tyler smirked and crossed his arms around his chest. He looked at Rachel struggling to her feet and walking to the door. When she finally reached it, her knees gave way once more, and she collapsed to the ground.He quickly reached out to hold her steady, as if he had predicted it would happen. "You really like to push yourself. How could you treat a full-grown man like me as mere decoration? That's not wise," he said lazily.Rachel realized she had overestimated herself and was indeed pushing herself too much. The doctor, standing right behind them, interjected, "Young lady, your body is very weak right now. Sit here and wait for the nurse to come over to assist you with the IV drip. Just let your husband settle the bill for you.

William was already in a bad mood to begin with, and Tyler's appearance made things worse.He let out a cough and said calmly, "Here to bring Samantha's mother for a check-up."Tyler nodded pensively and hummed.Rachel shut her eyes tight. She wouldn't claim to know Tyler very well, but she knew that he would never bother to show others undue respect.Him humming meant one thing—trouble was about to befall them.As she expected, Tyler's words dropped like a bomb on William's head. He refused to preserve William's pride, not even bothering to veil the truth for him."You didn't even bother about your wife, who almost fainted by the roadside, and here you are, bringing the mother of your dream woman for a check-up. What a good husband and filial son you are!"Not only did Tyler's words bring shame upon William, but they even managed to embarrass Samantha, who was standing nearby. She pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes as she said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Hunt, don't

Charmaine felt bad taking Samantha's money. "Samantha, you've been giving us all your money over the years. It's been tough on you. Things will get better once your younger brother gets married," she said wearily."It's fine, Mom. If you didn't need to pay for my education, Eugene wouldn't have dropped out of school so early. He's smarter than me. Had he continued with his studies back then, I'm sure he would be earning more money than me right now."Samantha patted Charmaine's back comfortingly.Charmaine sniffed, but quickly returned to the matter at hand. "You must quickly bring up marriage with William to avoid future troubles. He's such an outstanding man, I'm sure tons of women are eyeing him.""I know, Mom."Despite her verbal assurance, Samantha knew that William had no intention of divorcing Rachel. She was aware that Rachel wasn't simply a replacement in William's heart. For all she knew, Rachel had subconsciously crept into William's heart. He just didn't know it hi

"Are you calling me to pay back the money?""What money?" William asked, confused."Your wife's medical fees. I paid for it first. Shouldn't you be the one paying for it instead?""How much was it? I'll transfer it to you later.""150 dollars."William fell silent.Tyler chuckled coldly when he heard no response from William. "What? Trying to shirk responsibility?""No. I'll transfer it to you later."Despite knowing Tyler for so many years, William had never managed to see through his thoughts. All the more William couldn't understand why a mogul of his status would fuss about 150 dollars."Alright, goodbye." Tyler preferred not to speak more than the situation warranted."Wait! I have something to discuss with you. Regarding the person in charge of Project Oasis, why must I remove Samantha? She was in charge of the project that our company decided on right from the start."Tyler's voice, deep with disdain, sounded through the phone."William, why don't you change your bra

Rachel couldn't even tell if Samantha had truly forgotten to buy gifts for her mother, or if William simply wanted to please his future mother-in-law by using Rachel's gifts.At night, after she was done with her IV drip and was preparing to hail a cab home, she walked past Samantha's mother's ward. She saw William seated on the chair, chatting with the elderly woman.Samantha was standing by William's side with a knife in hand, peeling an apple. They were all smiles as they chatted with each other, looking just like a happy family.A sudden gust of wind blew in from the end of the corridor. Rachel couldn't hold back a shudder as she wrapped herself tighter in her thin cardigan.She retracted her gaze and turned to leave.It was past nine at night by the time she reached home. Since she hadn't had dinner, she ordered something simple and fuss-free.Since William gave her father's gifts to Samantha's mother, she had to wake up early the next day and make another trip to the shoppi
