Chapter 845
Rachel squatted on the floor to unpack her luggage. She pulled out her laptop and turned to look at Jerry and Yale.
โYou two should go back to your rooms. I can take care of things here. Letโs meet downstairs at the restaurant later.โ
Yale and Jerry exchanged glances.
โAlright,โ Yale said.
Jerry walked out, but still looked back at Rachel with concern. โRachel, if you need any help, just say the word.โ
โYeah. Donโt worry.โ Rachel waved at them.
Since it was peak tourist season, rooms were in short supply, so Jerry and Yale had been put in the same room.
Rachel quickly tidied up, then opened her laptop to do some searching. That was when she found out the doctorโs name was Elias.
His career had been very impressive. Whether abroad or at home, he was well-known. Many hospitals had tried to hire him with high salaries, but he always refused.
But everything changed after one surgery years ago. Overnight, his reputation was ruined. Even private hospitals no longer wanted him.
Elias sank into despair. He wasted away at home, consumed by guilt. Over time, he developed severe anxiety.
His father had passed away when he was very young, leaving only his mother by his side.
After reading through it, Rachel couldnโt help but feel sorry for Elias.
That was what the medical profession was like. It could lift you, put you in the spotlight, and just as quickly knock you down, turning you into a target for scorn. That meant getting a doctor who had been broken and withdrawn for years to pick up a scalpel again would be extremely difficult.
No wonder Mark had asked her to investigate his background first.
Rachel braced her hands on the table as the weight of it all suddenly crashed down on her.
But she had no way out now. She had to bring this doctor backโit was Ceciliaโs only chance.
After straightening up and grabbing her laptop, she was about to meet Yale and Jerry downstairs when Tylerโs video call came in.
Rachel propped her phone on the napkin holder at the table, then lowered her head to look through the menu.
โSorry, we just got here. I didnโt have time to tell you.โ
โItโs fine. Just be careful staying in a hotel room by yourself. Make sure you eat. Yes, you need to find the doctor, but donโt forget meals for the sake of work. Iโll have Yale keep an eye on you.โ
Tyler immediately launched into a string of reminders.
โAnd I checked the weather there. It might get cold at night. Remember to layer up.โ
Rachel turned to the waitress beside her. โIโll have escargot, onion soup, and seafood pasta.โ
The waitress didnโt react at all. Rachel instinctively looked up and saw her staring straight at Tyler.
Rachel cleared her throat. โDid you catch the dishes I just ordered?โ
The waitress snapped out of it. Her cheeks burned red, and she stole another timid glance at Rachel. โSorry, I wasnโt really paying attention just now. Could you repeat that for me?โ
Rachel wasnโt short-tempered, so she repeated her order.
The waitress nodded slightly. โGot it. By the way, miss, your boyfriend is really handsome. Heโs so caring toward you, too.โ
Rachel smiled awkwardly.
