Stuck in you

Chapter 18 He Threatened Me

Jack became fully awake at once. With a frown, he lifted the quilt off himself and got up.

Rachel didn't know why nobody in the house had woken them up. When she finally went downstairs, she found the servants cleaning.

But other than that, the whole house was quiet. "Where are Dad and Mom?" she asked.

"They went out early in the morning," one of the servants answered.

It immediately became obvious to Rachel that Jonathan and Tracy were intentionally giving them space. Rachel seldom stayed up late. But since she hadn't slept until early in the morning, it was not strange that she had overslept.

But why had Jack gotten up so late? Rachel's heart was overcome with doubt, but she had no time to ponder over anything. She glanced at the clock and hurriedly called the hospital.

It was well known among the hospital staff that Rachel never came to work late, nor did she leave early. So, her abnormal behavior over the past few days had attracted the attention of the senior staff.

Now that Rachel had overslept this morning, she asked for leave, but this only worried Director Yu, who was on the other end of the line. "It doesn't matter. Do you have any problems at home?"

Rachel seemed to be in a tough spot these days. Recently, her brother had been admitted to the hospital.

Then, just a few days after being discharged, he had been admitted again! On top of that, Rachel had already asked for leave yesterday. Naturally, Director Yu was worried that Rachel was facing some kind of trouble.

However, Rachel quickly assured Director Yu that nothing was wrong and explained that she was asking for leave because she had overslept. Upon hearing this, Director Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them chatted for a few more seconds before hanging up the phone.

Knowing that Rachel had a strong background, Director Yu gave special treatment to her. Moreover, Rachel was outstanding in her work.

Bosses liked hard-working employees, and they liked outstanding employees who maintained a low profile even more.

Rachel had always done a good job, but she had never been greedy or arrogant. This was the reason why everyone got along well with her even though they were envious of her.

Although Rachel was a little bit aloof, she kept a good relationship with other people.

After hanging up the phone, Rachel wanted to call Jonathan so that she could leave for the hospital.

When she was about to dial Jonathan's number, however, a servant walked up to her and asked, "Mrs. Fu, would you like to have lunch here?"

Before Rachel could answer, she heard a low voice from behind. "Yes, you can go and prepare."

Jack walked up to Rachel. "I'll take you to the hospital after you finish eating."

His words came as such a surprise to Rachel that she didn't even try to hide it. Anyway, she had no interest in going with Jack, so she replied, "There's no need for that. Aren't you busy? I'll ask Stuart to take me there."

"I'm going in the same direction as you are," Jack replied casually.
