Stuck in you
Chapter 159 Gastritis
"What's he doing now?" Rachel asked curiously.
She could hear a muffled sigh on the other end of the line. Not knowing what to say, Austin stammered, before falling into silence.
It stayed like for a while and judging from the awkward silence, Rachel assumed that something was wrong.
Still waiting for an answer, she checked her watch. Was he in a social engagement?
"Ask Jack to answer the phone," she said coldly.
Austin could tell from her tone that she was angry. "Wait! Mrs. Fu, please. It's not what you think," he said hurriedly.
Rachel silently curved her lips in sympathy, curious about what he had to say.
"So will you tell me what's bothering you, Austin?"
It seemed that Austin had been struggling for a long time. Giving in to her persistence, he sighed helplessly. "I can't make a decision for Mr. Fu. I'd prefer if you come to see for yourself."
So Jack wasn't able to pick up the call. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
Rachel went to the hospital and stared at the man in the bed. She walked towards him, Jack was still asleep.
Austin explained that before Jack passed out, he had asked him to do a favor. It was to tell Rachel that he was too busy to pick up the phone. The stubborn man didn't want her to know that he was confined in the hospital.
After learning about this, she sighed expressionless.
She looked at Austin and asked, "What happened? I thought he had been taking meals on time these days."
After hesitating for a while, Austin decided to tell her the truth.
"For the last two days, he had been drinking wine for business reasons."
Rachel's face darkened. Why didn't Jack tell her that?
No wonder he was sent to the hospital.
Austin continued the story. "There was an important dinner this evening. A lot of people had attended, but Mr. Fu's body couldn't take in anymore alcohol.
Mrs. Fu, if it's convenient for you, please try to persuade Mr. Fu to stop drinking. It seems that he only listens to you."
Rachel kept silent. 'Listen to me? Bully shit!'
He told Rachel that he took his medicine and ate meals on time. Apparently, those were lies!
Stressed, she rubbed her forehead and said, "I'll ask the doctor about his condition."
A hint of hesitation flashed through Austin's eyes. He gave her the attending doctor's name and asked a nurse nearby to take her there. She muttered her thanks before leaving.
