Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Silence encompassed the surroundings as Rachel paused in her tracks, but she said nothing and continued walking towards the Bennet family’s house without looking back.

Susan seethed at the sight of Rachel's receding figure.She clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost drew blood in a fit of rage.

A low click rang out as the car door opened, and a man got out.

The man glanced briefly at Susan's trembling fists, and his expression turned complicated.

He took off his coat and calmly put it around her shoulders.

The sudden feeling of warmth made Susan's eyelids flutter, and she looked back at the man with red eyes and a bitter smile.

"Dr.Turner, do I look ridiculous? I thought Miss Bennet would react when she learned my engagement to Victor is off."

Dr.Turner stared at her in silence for a couple of seconds before saying, "It's cold.Let go."

"She doesn't love Victor one bit.I really don't want to give up.Why? If Rachel still had feelings for Victor, I'd willingly give up on him, disappear forever, and wish them happiness from afar.But she doesn't love him.How could I be so willing to lose quickly?"

Susan whimpered, tears streaking down her cheeks.Her pain moved Dr.Turner.

"Don't worry, Miss Salazar.I'll help you as I promised I would."

Dr.Turner was now more certain about his decision than ever before.He hadn't been sure if he should help Susan because he had called his tutor several days ago and learned his tutor knew Rachel.

Susan tugged slightly at the coat wrapped around her and said, "Dr.Turner, I...If this matter gets exposed, you'll be implicated.I heard the hospital plans to promote you to vice president.I don't want to get you in trouble, so I won't complain if you back out now because you're scared."

Dr.Turner looked into Susan’s beautiful eyes, and his mood lifted.

Every move she made uplifted his spirits.He wasn't an inexperienced young man.He was a thirty-year-old adult who understood what the feeling in his heart was.

"Miss Salazar, I chose to help you, so I alone will deal with the consequences if this matter gets exposed.Let's go.I'll drive."

Susan nodded and followed him back to the car.She stood back quietly and watched him open the passenger door for her.

"Dr.Turner,"

Susan softly said, looking up at him after taking her seat.

"Yes?"

Dr.Turner answered, looking visibly confused.

"You're a wonderful person.If I had met you earlier, perhaps I might have fallen in love with you," Susan warmly replied.

A look of surprise crossed his face, and he smiled a second later.He didn't think she meant it.

Susan was a beloved lady of the Salazar family, and her parents had protected her since birth.

However, Dr.Turner was, at best, a knight, so how on earth would such a person fall in love with him? He didn't dare believe it. He clearly understood his position.

"Miss Salazar, you must be joking.I'm sure Mr.Sullivan will recognize what an excellent person you are someday."

Susan lowered her eyes and sighed, her expression turning forlorn.
