Captivation: Want Nothing But You -
Chapter 868
Her eyes automatically turned to the share transfer agreement, which had been sent to her a week ago, and yet, she hadn’t signed.
Rachel didn’t expect Victor to send her the document.
She thought that he would use these shares to force her to compromise, just as he did before.
Yet, Victor readily agreed to the terms of the agreement.
This made
Rachel hesitant to sign it.
“Let’s stop talking about me.
Why are you here? Didn’t you say that there will be a trial today?” Rachel changed the topic.
Andy’s lips moved but no words came out.
He wanted to say something but hesitated on second thought.
“Is something the matter?” Rachel asked nervously.
She felt that Andy was going to tell her some bad news.
“It’s a call from the hospital.”
“Jack’s sick.
He fainted last night in his apartment.
It wasn’t until this morning that his roommate found him and rushed him to the hospital.”
“Miss Bennet, according to the doctor’s preliminary examination, your father is likely to have lung cancer.
That said, we won’t know for sure until further testing.”
Rachel, who was standing by the door of Jack’s ward, turned around to face her unconscious father lying in bed.
‘Lung cancer, huh?’ Rachel was taken over by a wave of emotions.
But instead of crying, she unexpectedly started giggling.
Logically speaking, Jack’s unfortunate circumstance was none of her concern.
After all, they barely saw each other.
And on the rare occasion that they did meet, he always treated her poorly.
However, that wasn’t the case.
She wasn’t as unbothered as she thought she would be.
“Miss Bennet?” After paying Jack’s medical bill, Andy headed back to
Jack’s ward and saw Rachel standing by the door.
The odd expression on her face piqued his curiosity, so he came up to her and asked,
“Is something the matter, Miss Bennet? Aren’t you planning to go in?”
“There’s no need for that,” Rachel replied nonchalantly.
Confused by what she meant, Andy peered through the small window in the door and saw Jack’s sorry state.
This wasn’t a VIP ward.
There were two other patients inside, accompanied by their loved ones, emphasizing the fact that nobody cared enough about Jack to keep him company.
As unfortunately as Jack seemed, Andy didn’t feel sorry for him at all.
In the last two decades, not once did Jack fulfill his role as a father.
What’s worse, he even drove his daughter out of their house in exchange for a so-called legacy.
Hence, Andy had no qualms about Rachel’s decision to stay outside.
“Hey, did you settle the medical fees already?” Rachel asked casually.
“Yeah.
I paid for Jack’s following examination and half a month’s worth of hospitalization.
As for the rest, let’s talk about it after his result’s come out,” Andy replied before handing over a stack of invoices.
After taking it, Rachel headed for the elevator, followed by Andy.
Along the way, he said, “I know you don’t care much about
Jack, and I think that’s completely justified.
A man Like him doesn’t deserve his daughter’s love…”
After a brief pause, Andy sheepishly added, “I really wish I didn’t have to say this.
But the hospital requires a family member’s signature.”
