Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 109

Sabrina looked at the panicked man in the ward, feeling so jealous that she almost went nuts. She turned to look at the silent Krista, muttered, “Aunt Krista.”

She couldn’t help complaining why they couldn’t have arrived later. As long as that woman was dead, everything would come to an end today.

That woman was indeed lucky.

With a gloomy face, Krista gazed at her son for a long time. Then she took a glance at the doctors and nurses who were rescuing the woman. After a while, she uttered a few words, “Let’s go home.”

She couldn’t pull her son back for sure, but she couldn’t make trouble to her son in front of so many people, nor could she humiliate him in public.

Sabrina’s face slightly fell. Reluctantly, she looked over at Kenneth, who was holding that woman inside the ward. “Then, Ken...”

“I can’t continue staying here and being humiliated in this way. Let him be. Let’s go back.”

Moreover, her in-law-used-to-be was also there. Although Krista looked down upon Theresa in the past, they maintained a good relationship back then. If Krista walked in now, it would be too obvious that she was hitting them when they were down. In that case, Ken would hate her more.

Finish her words, Krista put her sunglasses back on, lifted her foot, and left.

Sabrina frowned, her eyes full of anger and hatred. It was such a good chance, but it had to be wasted. She kept bitching about Krista inwardly, who didn’t follow her expectation at all.

However, she couldn’t do anything. She must please Krista at this moment. If Krista would find out something, Sabrina was afraid that the hope that she could marry into the Shaw family would become less.

However, she didn’t know that her scheme was already seen through by Krista clearly.

Biting her lower lips, Sabrina could only turn around and follow Krista to leave.

It took a long time for the chaotic scene to quiet down. The three outlaws were arrested by the police later. Kenneth asked Maurice to take Lillian and Theresa to the police station for the record of words. He stayed in the hospital, taking care of the unconscious Rachel.

When Rachel woke up from the coma, it was already late at night. She suddenly woke up as if she had a nightmare, her face full of fear, looking pale and mentally fragile.

“Are you awake?” Kenneth looked up at her instantly, and the tightened string in his brain loosened.

Rachel looked at him blankly for more than ten seconds before coming back to her senses. With a frown, she asked in a hoarse voice, “Kenneth?”

She wondered if she was still dreaming.

Subconsciously, she reached to stroke his face. Feeling the temperature, she withdrew her hand as if she was stroke by the electricity. In the mid-way, her hand was grabbed by the man tightly.

“It’s me. You are safe now.” He raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead. Although his tone was flat, his eyes were indescribable tender.

Rachel’s heart tightened. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked around the ward. She asked anxiously, “Where’s my mother? Where is Lillian? How are they doing?”

Kenneth poured a glass of water from the nightstand. Handing the glass to her, he said with a faint smile, “They are both fine. They’ve gone to the police station for the record of words. You had to stay here because you were in a coma. Come on. Have some water.”

Rachel relaxed. Then her attention was switched to him. She blushed, took over the glass, and took a sip. Unnaturally, she asked, “How could you come here so coincidentally at that time?”

“It was not coincident.” Kenneth frowned instantly, his eyes darkened and deep. “If I could have arrived earlier, you wouldn’t encounter such an accident. I do apologize for that.”

It was all his fault. She was not willing to meet him in person in recent two days, so he just asked Maurice to stay with her and inform him if anything happened. If he had arrived a bit later...

He couldn’t imagine what would happen. Probably he would never forget the scene that he saw when breaking in. She was almost...

“Kenneth.” Rachel’s eyes with clear black and white looked into his as if she could see through him. “Thank you very much.”

Undeniable, Kenneth saved her whole family’s life this time. She could no longer ignore him.

The woman's long hair was loose, and the ends of her hair fell on her shoulders. Her clean, fair face was pale and almost transparent and her lips were gray. She looked a bit sickly and weak, and she didn't have much energy to speak.

Kenneth looked at her, squinting. His eyes were dimmed. He said in an ever-flat tone, “I don’t want your appreciation.”

“I...”

“All right. Sit still. I’ll call the doctor over,” the man stood up and interrupted her words. Naturally, he raised his hand to rub her hair. Then he smiled slightly. “I didn’t do that for taking advantage of you. Please don’t feel stressed. If you changed your mind and wanted to remarry me, I probably would think twice.”

Rachel was taken aback. The complicated feelings in her eyes faded instantly. She said in a coquettish tone, “Dream on! Think that I’m an ancient girl who would pay the favor with myself?”

The man raised his eyebrows. Without saying anything else, he walked out.

Rachel was left alone in the room. She gradually put away her expression, leaned against the bedhead, and closed her eyes.

She indeed had experienced a life and death moment today...

In the evening, Lillian took Theresa back to the hospital.

Rachel looked at their reddened and swollen eyes, she felt touched and frightened. She could only keep comforting Theresa, “Mom, it’s all right now.”

“That bastard! He’s done so many evil things! He has already been put in jail but still made trouble for us! What should we do in the future?” Theresa squeezed her curse on Chapman from her gritted teeth, tears falling.

Rachel panicked. She hurriedly took the tissue from the table and wiped off her tears. “Mom, stop thinking about it. It’s just bygones. I’m sure it wouldn’t happen again.”

“Why not? Who knows how many people he had offended? There must be a lot of them. Sooner or later they would come to us.” Theresa was so anxious that she frowned deeply. While wiping off her tears, she choked between sobs, “Rach, you should move out. I can’t let you be in danger again. I almost scared to death today.”

“Mom, what are you talking about? What would you do if I move out? And what about Dad?” Rachel held her and patted her on her back gently. She added, “Stop overthinking. It was just a coincidence that they’ve found us today. If you are scared, we can rent an apartment and move in. Nobody would find us.”

Although Rachel said everything would be fine, she was still frightened after the incident. She knew that her father had offended a lot of people all these years. She just hadn’t expected that some of them would truly come to them for taking revenge. If they found out their house address, it would be quite dangerous for her mother to continue staying there.

Lillian frowned. She said worriedly, “How about moving into my house for the time being? Although my house is not big, you can share my bed. Aunt could stay in another bedroom.”

“No, thanks.” Rachel immediately shook her head. “You are staying with your parents and your house is not big. How could my mother and I move in to bother you? We’ll just rent an apartment. It’s not difficult to find one.”

After that, Rachel looked at her, guilt written all over her face. “I almost get you injured today. If you were hurt, I really wouldn’t know how to explain to your parents.”
