Chapter 245 - You All Can Meet Her

Rachel realized what she just did but she tried to be casual about it, "Yeah, we are friends, so what is wrong with it?"

Will was shocked when he heard what Rachel said, yesterday Rachel and Daniel openly claimed they are in a relationship and now she was claiming they are just friends confusing him.

"But Rachel, you and Daniel…" 

"We are just friends dad" Rachel interrupted him and winked at his father, she begged him with her eyes to keep quiet as no one here is aware of the truth.

Will understood something was fishy here, "Hmm, good you are just friends" William suddenly commented as he decided to tease his daughter.

Rachel and Daniel looked at him in surprise.

William then stepped towards Jimmy and put his hand around his shoulder, "Rachel, I would like you to be with a guy like Jimmy" Will declared.

Everyone in the room was shocked at what Will said. They all know Rachel likes Daniel and are sure Daniel too likes her.

"Dad…" Rachel was speechless and had no idea what to say as she didn't expect her dad to put her in a situation like this.

Her dad was worse at troubling people than she heard from Catherine's story.

"Uncle, Rachel and I are not suitable for each other. Our wavelengths don't match" Jimmy tried to desperately explain himself or else his brother would beat him up.

Daniel understood William was having fun so he didn't mind it and was calm unlike Rachel who was freaking out.

"Why not?" William made Jim stand next to Rachel and said, "Wow, you two look so good together, perfect right?" He asked everyone present there but no one said a word as they all thought William was serious.

Rachel too, realized her dad was having fun by putting her in a spot. She didn't expect her dad would start teasing her within a few hours of meeting, he didn't take any time to adjust around her.

"Yes uncle, absolutely perfect" Jessica supported him, joining in the fun.

"I know right?" Will said to Jessica and looked at others waiting for their reply.

"Will, we can discuss all of this later." James suggested.

William laughed to himself but nodded his head, "Sure dad"

Daniel again went to check Liz's condition and she was now stable.

"By the way, are we cool about my play?" Jimmy asked everyone while they were waiting for Daniel.

"We will attend your play and then we will decide" Harry strictly said.

"Harry, why would you trouble him, after all he inherited this interest in acting from you" Will scolded his friend who was being unnecessarily strict with his son.

Jimmy looked at Harry in shock then he looked at William, "Uncle Will, my dad was into acting?"

"Yes, he played Romeo in our high school play" William informed a very surprised Jim.

"Woah, did mom play Juliet?" He excitedly looked at his mom, who looked very angry right now recollecting those days and that woman.

"No, one of the hottest girls in our class played Juliet" William informed Jim.

"Wow dad, you never shared this information with me" Jim narrowed his eyes at his father as he now realized where he inherited all these acting skills.

"Whatever, we will attend your play and then we will decide what to do with you" Harry was still very strict and William helplessly shook his head at how stubborn his friend was.

"Yes me too, but you have to promise me to introduce me to Diana then I'll handle Harry for you" Anthony cheekily smiled at his grandson.

Harry frowned at how easily his dad was influenced because of Diana's name.

"Done grandpa." Jimmy excitedly promised.

"Me too"

"Me too"

James and Michael requested him together.

"Yeah, yeah, all of you"

"I want to meet Amanda and Jack." Catherine added excitedly.

"Yeah mom, done"

Jimmy sighed in relief as his news too came out in all of this chaos and they were not that angry with him because of Wiliam's presence.

Daniel came out of the room, "She is now stable. One by one you all can meet her" Daniel informed everyone and they all got excited.

Everyone wanted to go and see Liz but they obviously asked Rachel to go in first. In all these years Rachel didn't meet her mom properly so she deserved to see her first.

Rachel looked at her father. Without her saying a word, William understood what she wanted.

"Daniel, can we both go in together?"

"Sure, her condition has been stabilized." Daniel informed them and added, "But do ensure, more than two people should not meet her. Her surroundings cannot be congested as it won't be good for her state."

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

William and Rachel stepped inside the room, where a woman around Catherine's age was sleeping peacefully on the bed but many machines were connected to her body.

When Rachel stepped closer and approached the beautiful woman, the tears automatically started flowing from her eyes.

The woman looked pale and the machines connected to her looked a bit scary. It was obvious her condition was not that good.

The woman looked pale, her body was very thin and sensitive, she looked weak.

Rachel broke down seeing her state and recollected the story of how her parents tried to run away from the place they were captured in after knowing about the attack on Rachel during her high school.

She believed it was somewhere because of her that her mom ended up in this state.

William held his daughter, and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, she is fine. Just like you said, Daniel is an amazing doctor and he successfully operated on her." He tried to console her but Rachel continued crying.

"I am sorry dad, I am really very sorry" She kept apologizing to him.

"What are you sorry for, Rachel?" 

"Because of me mom ended up being like this" Rachel cried harder hugging her father.
