Chapter 239 Still Have Feelings For Her
“Rachel, wait!”
Tracy reached out and tugged at the corner of Rachel’s shirt.
“I just saw you leaving the doctor’s office alone. If you’re not feeling well or if something’s wrong, just say so. There’s no need to keep your distance. Considering your relationship with Brian, I’ll make sure he takes extra good care of you.”
Rachel let out a cold, sharp laugh, her eyes gleaming with frost. “You’re not upset?”
“Why would I be?”
“Not even jealous?”
Tracy casually wrapped her arm around Brian’s, flashing a sweet smile. “Of course not. Back in college, so many girls liked Brian–they flocked to him like butterflies. If I got jealous over every little thing, wouldn’t I have been driven mad with envy?”
She shot Brian a playful wink.
Rachel smiled faintly. “Really? Then you must have a very generous heart. Not like me— I’m petty and prone to jealousy.”
Though her tone sounded self–deprecating, the underlying jab was clear.
Tracy didn’t bother trying to make Rachel stay any longer. She simply stood there, watching her walk away.
This exchange hadn’t gone the way she’d planned. She had planned to get under Rachel’s skin, maybe even cause some chaos. But instead, she was the one who ended up rattled.
“Wait here. I’ll go get the medicine.” Suddenly, Brian’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Do you want me to come with you?” Tracy asked.
“No need. Just wait in the car. I won’t take long.”

Tracy pouted in disappointment. “Fine, but don’t take too long.”
With that, she stayed behind while Brian made his way toward the doctor’s office.
He had planned to walk right in, but the sight of a long line stopped him in his tracks There was no way to cut through.
He took a step forward, only to be met with irritated grumbles.
An older man shot him a sharp look and said, “Young man, you look respectable enough,
but rules are rules. Everyone’s waiting their turn.”
“Yeah, just because you’re easy on the eyes doesn’t mean you get to skip ahead.”
“We’re all waiting our turn. What makes
you any
different?”
The complaints kept coming.
Thinking fast, Brian spoke up. “Look, I really need to speak with this doctor. If anyone
here isn’t in a rush, I’m willing to buy their place in line.”
His offer was met with scoffs and skeptical glances.
“I’ll pay two thousand.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the room fell silent.
A woman immediately stepped forward. “Deal! Two thousand, no take–backs. Are you paying me now?”
Brian took out his wallet and paid her.
Luckily, this put him second in line.
When the doctor saw him, she did a double take before glancing at her computer.
“Are you
lost? Or did you take the
take the wrong number?”
“No, I’m supposed to be here.”
“That can’t be right. The patient listed is a woman.”
Brian answered calmly, “I bought her appointment slot. You saw a patient named Rachel Marsh earlier–can you tell me what’s wrong with her?”
“Sorry, but first, you’re not my patient, so I have no obligation to tell you anything. Second, patient confidentiality prevents me from sharing that information. Now, please leave.”

Brian’s face darkened, and his tone dropped. “How much do you want?”
The doctor chuckled dryly. She had dealt with all sorts of patients, but this level of audacity was a first.
However, Brian stayed put, unfazed and unmoving.
“Money doesn’t interest me.” The doctor’s patience snapped.
With a sharp inhale, she grabbed the phone and dialed. “Security? I have someone here interfering with my work. Please escort him out.”
Brian blinked, caught off guard. “You’re actually throwing me out?”
She smirked. “Not everyone sells out for a paycheck.”
In the end, security dragged Brian out forcefully.
Hidden among the onlookers, Tracy’s hands curled into fists as she watched.
She had a feeling something was wrong, so she went to check the pharmacy first.
When he wasn’t there, she figured he must have gone straight to the doctor to ask about
Rachel.
So she stayed out of sight and watched.
And sure enough, she had been right.
Did he still have feelings for Rachel? Was he still concerned about her? The very thought made Tracy grit her teeth.
She swore to herself–one day, she’d make sure Rachel disappeared from his life for good.
Downstairs, Brian had just reached the pharmacy counter when Tracy appeared.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, glancing up.
“I waited for you for a bit,” she said with a small shrug. “I thought it might be busy, so I
came to check.”
“I’m almost done.”
“Alright.”
That night, Rachel’s pain worsened, and it was far more intense than before.

Unable to bear it any longer, she went to the hospital ahead of schedule.
After examining her wounds, the doctor frowned. “It looks like admitting you was the right decision. In just one night, it’s deteriorated significantly. The patient I mentioned last time has already been checked out. I’ll get your admission sorted right away.”
Rachel’s lips curved slightly in gratitude. “Thank you.”
As she made her way to the inpatient department, her eyes skimmed over the list of hospital departments on the elevator panel. A sudden thought struck her.
If she remembered correctly, Myrna was in this hospital.
Three days later, once her wounds had improved a little, Rachel decided to visit her
classmate.
She hadn’t expected to arrive at such an unfortunate moment.
As she approached Myrna’s door, faint but agonizing groans reached her ears.
The sounds were broken, almost gasping, yet they carried an unmistakable weight of pain and sorrow.
Even without stepping inside, Rachel could feel the sheer weight of suffering inside that
room.
She figured Myrna was in the middle of a chemotherapy session.
People said that no matter how strong or brave someone was, chemotherapy was
unbearable.
One session alone was enough to bring even the toughest soul to their knees.
And for Myrna, who was already in the late stages of cancer, the treatment would be even harsher–stronger doses, more frequent sessions.
Rachel had read about it before, but hearing someone actually go through it, this close and this real, was something else entirely.
The sound of pain was far worse than she had ever imagined.
