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."

‘Huh? Joey?’ Rachel's heart jolted in alarm as she asked, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick? Is he uncomfortable? When did he catch a cold?"
