As Jack stepped out of the shower, he noticed that Rachel was drying her hair.
He approached her slowly. She looked up at him and continued nonchalantly.
He grabbed the towel and said, "Let me do this for you."
She stared at the mirror attentively to check how he was carefully helping her wipe her hair. They looked like any other couple with a bond extending to many decades.
After having done half the task, he sought refuge in the hair dryer to complete his task. His method was a little clumsy but gentle.
He could feel her aroma filling the room as he put the hair dryer back to its place.
There was a sudden change in his mood. After seeing the pregnancy test kit, he suddenly remembered something.
Jack wasn't entirely sure of telling her about this, so he turned to look at her and said,
"Rachel, you..." He paused abruptly as he ran out of words.
He wanted to know if Rachel wished for a baby.
Jack concealed something from her.
He had already done a ligation operation years ago.
He did it for Celine's sake. During that time, he couldn't marry Celine and she was frustrated about it. He also had perpetual disputes with her due to Rachel.
He couldn't bear Celine's tears. He was grief-stricken because of it. On the third day when he returned, he showed her that ligation certificate.
For a man, this was not a petty matter.
He had concealed the truth from everyone. None but the surgeon and Celine were aware of it.
If his father ever got a whiff of it, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Even Jack had no idea how he could've been so crazy back then.
As Celine's tears and accusations compounded, he was coerced to undergo the ligation operation.
The moment when he showed Celine the certificate, she was stunned with joy and panic in her heart.
She was delighted that Jack was willing to do this for her. She was simultaneously worried that if the Fu family knew about it, she would be cursed and blamed.
Since he had conducted the operation, she would never be pregnant even if they had sex.
But that also meant that other women wouldn't be pregnant either if he had slept with them.
Her status couldn't be altered. Besides, Celine was sure that Jack wouldn't have an affair with any other woman.
