Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 66: Dad Wants To See Me 

Abby turned her eyes to the ground.She lowered her head and said in a low, guilty voice, "I'm sorry I'm so useless, Miss Bennet."

Rachel finished applying ointment to Abby's wound and threw the used swab in the trash.

As she turned her head back to Abby, she saw the sad, hopeless expression on her face.

Rachel sighed softly as she said, "Abby, I'm not blaming you for what happened.I just want you to remember this.Remember how much this hurt.If something like this ever happens again, I want you to fight back.And if you can't fight, you need to run as fast as you can.Do you understand me?"

"Miss Bennet…" Abby's eyes filled with tears.

"Abby, I can't always be there every time someone you bullies you.The best I can do is punish those who hurt you.But what happens one day when I don't even know who to punish? I've never expected you to protect me… All I ask is that you protect yourself," Rachel said earnestly

 "I will do my best, Miss Bennet," Abby answered softly.

Rachel gave an affectionate smile, reached out and gently ran her fingers over Abby's head.

"I think you've made great progress.Maybe I'm just being too demanding.Take your time; do things your way.I have full faith that one day, you'll be strong."

There was no denying that Abby had already started to change for the better.

Rachel could account for that.She remembered that in the past Abby had been too timid to speak up for herself when she was getting bullied.But she was still worried.

While Abby was making good progress, she needed to learn how to protect herself quicker.

Ever since Rachel had taken Abby and Andy to be her friends, she'd started to care about them more; to the point where she was always afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect them from getting hurt.

In the past, she wouldn't have given them a second thought.

The Rachel from the past was cold and indifferent.

She wouldn't have cared if someone got hurt or bullied… But not anymore.

Yes, Abby had changed.

But so had Rachel.

Abby and Rachel went to the company's canteen for lunch.

They enjoyed their food and idle banter, and once they were done, they decided to head to the archive for a little break.

They'd just stepped into the hallway when they noticed a familiar figure standing there.

"Why is Mrs.Jenkins here?" Abby said in surprise.
