Chapter 339 Donst Flatter Yourself (1/2)

”James, please don't do that! How about this? I promise you that I'll make a phone call to Patrick. But please understand that I can't go and visit him in person.” Rachel said after she gave it some thought. This was the only thing she could do since there was no chance for her to go and visit Patrick on her own now.

James was begging her, and she would regret it if she did nothing. So Rachel decided that it would be best to just make a phone call. By doing so she could know how Patrick was doing, and at the same time, stay away from him.

She then turned around without looking at James and walked back inside.

”Rachel, I've made an appointment with the doctor just now. It's for another checkup for the twins.” Fannie said to Rachel when she came in. She was helping Jonny and Joyce tidy up their clothes.

”Okay. Mom, give me a few minutes. I need to go upstairs to get my handbag,” said Rachel. She smiled and rubbed Joyce's little head gently before walking upstairs.

”What problem can I possibly have? I'm doing great. If a man like Hiram could hurt me with his tiny little fists, how am I supposed to face others in the future? I'm not going to be a joke and be the laughing stock!” Patrick uttered a snorting laugh, not knowing that James had already told Rachel about his situation.

Otherwise, he would not tell such a lie to Rachel. He was actually in great pain.

”Oh, really? That's great then. I'm glad to hear that and I think we're done. Goodbye.” Rachel didn't tell Patrick that she knew about his situation. Now that he said he was fine, why not just take advantage of his lie and play along with his arrogance? That way, she could get rid of him sooner. No need for this uncomfortable chit chat.

”Wait! Hey, you seldom call me. It would be a pity if you hung up just like that.” Hearing that Rachel was going to hang up, Patrick immediately changed tone and was nicer. ”By the
