Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 129

Rachel pursed her lips and remained silent.

Kenneth faced her and his eyes grew deeper. His fingers passed through her hairs. The other hand wiped off the tears on her face gently. He said in a low voice, “I will send you to the restaurant first. Then I will leave, okay?”

Rachel lowered her eyes and dodged his finger. She said, “No need. You can go now.”

Kenneth frowned, “Rachel...”

How could he leave her alone outside?

Rachel looked at him expressionlessly. She smiled calmly. Her delicate face was gorgeous, “I wanna walk alone. If you wanna keep stalking me, I won’t stop you, but please don’t let me see you.”

With that, she walked past him and left without looking back.

The man immediately frowned, but did not follow.

On the street, Rachel kept walking forward aimlessly. She did not care whether the man followed her or not. She was just wandering around, looking at the scenarios at both sides of the street. However, if one looked at her eyes closer, one would notice that her eyes were hollow and spiritless as though she was lost in her thoughts.

After long enough, her body staggered, but she did not pay attention. She was going to continue walking. Suddenly, a naive sound rang in her ears, “Miss, you just ran into me...Why don’t you apologize?”

Rachel was stunned and recovered from her thoughts all of a sudden. She turned around and saw a cute little girl looking at her unhappily.

Rachel hurriedly bent down and her face was full of caring apologies, “I am so sorry...I did not pay attention. Did I hurt you?”

The little girl frowned and her pink little face swelled into two balloons. She stared at Rachel for a while and gave her a lesson with a soft voice, “Miss...You can’t be like this. My mom said that we have to be careful when we walk, otherwise we will fall over and even step onto kittens and puppies...”

Well…

Looking at the little girl’s palm-size face that was unimaginably tender and her serious watery eyes, Rachel felt awkward. She bit her lips and kept nodding, promising the little girl, “You’re right. I was wrong, and I will pay attention next time.”

The little girl narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her smile could almost melt one’s heart. The little girl patted Rachel’s forehead as if massaging a pet. She said softly, “Ok, that’s right. A good girl knows how to correct herself...Then see you Miss. Bye...”

When Rachel was about to nod, she suddenly realized something and stopped the girl. She looked around and asked confusedly, “Kid, are you alone? Where’s your mother?”

She just found out that the child was alone and no adult was coming over.

“My mom is not here. But grandma is over there.” The little girl pointed at the old man sitting on the bench nearby.

Rachel took a look and felt relieved. She touched her hair tenderly, “Okay. Remember not to run around alone, okay?”

“Sure, see you Miss.”

The girl waved at Rachel and ran away quickly.

As Rachel watched, a smile spread across her face. Slowly, she stood up and was about to leave. A droplet of icy-cold and ponderous rain smashed on her face.

She was stunned and looked up at the sky.

From the gloomy dark sky rains dropped on her face, more and more, heavier and heavier.

Her expression suddenly changed and took something out from her bag. She chased the little girl and yelled, “Kid!”

Both the little girl and her grandpas seemed to realize that it was raining. They were about to leave. Rachel ran to them and said, “Kid.”

The girl turned around and saw her, “Miss?”

As the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Rachel had no more time to chat with them. She took out an umbrella from her bag and gave it to the old lady, “You guys can take this umbrella.”

Today’s weather was not good, so she put an umbrella in her bed when she left home in the morning.

The old lady looked at Rachel with gratitude, “But...What about you?”

The raindrop as large as a bean smashed on her face once again. She blocked the rain with her hand and said, “I will be alright. My car is not far away, I can just walk over. Alright, Miss, just bring the kid home. The rain is getting heavier, and the umbrella can’t hold long.”

“Okay, thank you so much.” The old lady kept thanking Rachel.

“Miss, how do I return you the umbrella?” The little girl blinked and asked.

The rain hit her eyes, Rachel narrowed her eyes subconsciously. She smiled, “No need. Hurry up and go home.”

After that, she waved her hands and said no more. She paced faster toward the hospital.

Her car was still at the parking lot. She decided to wander around in here because of Kenneth, and she did not expect the rain to grow heavier and heavier. Her clothes were wet in a while.

The smell of the rain rushed from all sides and the rain above dropped faster and faster, streaming down into her open collar and touching her skin. She shivered and covered her hands on the forehead. She just lowered her head and focused on her feet. The ground had already been wet.

“Rachel.”

What?

Rachel was stunned. Someone seemed to be yelling her name in the rain.

When she looked around, she did not pay attention to her feet and the bottom of her shoes slipped. Her body leaned forward fast.

“Ah!”

Rachel blanked out and all the blood in her body became icy cold. She forgot all her reactions.

“Rachel!”

A growl that was as loud as the thunder reverberated through the rain and shocked Rachel meanwhile. The moment she fell down, her arms covered her body as much as she could, but she still knocked on the rock. Immediately, her skin was cut open and blood came out.

Even though Kenneth ran to her as fast as he could, he was still late. His tightened handsome face even reflected the light. His pupils shrank, holding her up, “Rachel, Rachel? Are you ok?”

Rachel opened her eyes slowly. She saw his agitated face vaguely. She opened her mouth and murmured, “I, I don’t know....”

Her face was as pale as a piece of paper.

It was still raining, and the blood on her forehead was washed away soon. She looked like a mess.

Kenneth really wanted to shout at her, but he felt heartbreaking seeing her like this. He forced himself to calm down on the verge of rampaging, which almost broke the trembling veins on his forehead.

“Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere. Don't be scared. I am sending you back to the hospital now.” Breathing heavily, the man hugged her in the arms tightly. He hoped to block as much rain for her as possible. Without hesitation, he walked forth hurriedly.
