Captivation: Want Nothing But You

 Lukas looked at Rachel and sighed.

"If I had known what would happen, I'd have tried to stop Mrs.Sullivan “

"No," Rachel interjected softly.

"It's not your fault, nor Mrs.Sullivan's.I agreed to her request, remember? If I had known better, no matter how much Mrs.Sullivan persuaded me, I wouldn't have agreed to marry Victor.There's no need to mention what happened.It's in the past now; bringing it up is pointless."

Lukas sighed and nodded.

Then, he flashed Rachel a gentle smile and said, "It's great to see you living a good life now, Miss Bennet."

Rachel didn't reply, nor did she return his smile.

Instead, her attention returned to the bag of cold medicine in Lukas’ hand.

"Lukas, I forgot to ask you about this medicine.Did you catch a cold?"

"Oh, umm..."

Lukas looked down at the medicine bag.

"No, I don't have a cold.This medicine is not for me.It's for Joey."
