Chapter 304
โDonโt worry. Rachel will definitely wake up,โ William murmured as he stared at Rachel lying in the bed. An oxygen mask covered her face.
Sasha and Jim packed up before leaving the ward.
Once they exited through the back door of the hospital, Jim let out a long sigh.
โWhen you get the chance, call Yvette and tell her to head home,โ he said. โAnd make sure she keeps her mouth shut. Whatever happens, she canโt breathe a word of this to Thomas.โ
โGot it,โ Sasha nodded, then hesitated. โBut Jim, earlier, why did you say that in front of William? That if Rachel really goes into a coma, and the Lewis family doesnโt want to take care of her, weโd take her back?โ
Jim turned to her with a puzzled look. โWhat are you trying to say? Donโt tell me youโd rather leave Rachel out there with no one to care for her?โ
Sasha froze for a second, realizing her words had been too obvious. She quickly tried to backtrack.
โNo, Jim, you misunderstood me. Thatโs not what I meant. I just think Rachel offered her youth to William. She married into the Lewis family. Sheโs their daughter-in-law. Why should they get to walk away?โ
Jim wasnโt one to force things. โYou saw for yourself how that mother-in-law of hers treats her. If Rachel really ends up like that, do you honestly think sheโd let someone in a permanent coma stay in their house?โ
โBut Thomas wonโt agree with this either. Rachelโs adopted, after all. If she ends up in a coma and we bring her back to the Lloyd family, what will people say? Can you win an argument against Thomas?โ Sasha asked.
Sashaโs words made Jim pause in thought.
He waved his hand in frustration. โForget it. Weโll cross that bridge when we get there. Rachel might wake up tonight for all we know. Melanie must be up there watching over her.โ
Once in the car, Sasha sent a message to Yvette.
[Rachelโs alone with William right now. Do whatever it takes to get him out of that ward.]
Yvette still seemed hesitant. After all, this wasnโt just a dirty trick. They were gambling with Rachelโs life.
[Canโt we just wait a little longer? What if she ends up in a coma on her own? Then we donโt have to do anything.]
Seeing that message nearly made Sasha curse aloud. No wonder Tyler didnโt want her. She was such a useless coward.
Sasha quickly replied while Jim had his eyes closed for a nap.
[Fine, then wait. And when she wakes up and marries Tyler instead, you can have whateverโs left. Your choice.]
After sending the message, Sasha immediately cleared her chat history.
This was the perfect chance to get rid of Rachel, and Yvette didnโt even have the guts to act.
Sasha had originally thought maybe Rachel being part of the Lewis family could help her son in the future, but thinking about the way Rachel had treated her? Forget it.
Rachel was a pawn she couldnโt use and was better off discarded.
Inside the ward, William sat by Rachelโs bedside, gently holding her hand in his. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to the back of her hand.
โRachel, please wake up. If you donโt, Iโll be the one the Lloyd family blames. Iโll be the enemy of all of Yurelia City,โ he said exhaustedly. โYou love me the most, donโt you? You wonโt just sit here and watch me fall like this, right?
โIโm not as terrible as the internet says I am, am I? Itโs just that lately Iโve been distracted. Maybe Iโve neglected you, but I promise, once you wake up, Iโll make it up to you. Whatever you want, Iโll give it to you. Just please come back to me.โ
William didnโt notice it, but the fingers of Rachelโs right hand moved a little.
