Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 10

Her husband Kenneth’s mother, Krista was held around the shoulder by a young woman, both walking towards them laughing and talking to each other. After a close look at the woman Rachel realized, she was the same woman who was with Kenneth last night.

It seemed like Krista did not expect to meet Rachel in the hospital.

As their eyes meet, a shadow of embarrassment slipped past Krista’s face. She nodded towards Theresa in acknowledgment and said with a smile, "I was feeling a bit off, so Kenneth asked Sabrina to take me to the hospital. It’s nothing much."

"Yes, I know, Kenneth’s assistant." Rachel said with a smile, holding her mother's arm without the slightest nervousness, "But please, next time call me for it, Mom. You don’t need to call outsiders for this kind of thing."

Krista smiled, embarrassed.

Sabrina’s face turned cold upon being satirized by Rachel, she arrogantly stated, "Miss Lewis, I'm the assistant of Mr. Kenneth. It's my duty to take care of his mother. I'm not an outsider."

Seeing Sabrina act so arrogant, Theresa was not happy and wanted to say something to her.

Rachel stopped her and said indifferently, "Your boss is Mr. Kenneth Shawn, I'm his wife. You should call me Mrs. Shawn, not Miss Lewis. You don't even have enough common sense. How did you get this position?”

Sabrina's face became more and more gloomy.

Rachel glanced at Krista and smiled, "Mom, I'm sorry, I have to be somewhere, so I can't accompany you. I'll take my leave then."

Krista nodded, but didn’t say anything polite or even a goodbye.

Rachel saw the contempt visible on Krista’s face. Acting like she had not seen it, she took her mother by her arm and walked past them, but her heart felt heavy.

Before she got married, she gave special attention to Kenneth’s family. She visited them with gifts often. However, no one was nice towards her except Krista. But her kindness might be because Rachel’s family was rich.

When Krista was hospitalized with kidney stones, Rachel took care of her for almost a month until she was discharged from the hospital. During that time, she would personally prepare her meals and take them to the hospital.

For a long time, she treated Krista just like her own mother, but Krista never liked her; now, she was tired.
