Stuck in you

Since Jack asked about the parents, Rachel suddenly felt sorry for Mendes. In a soft voice, she explained, "His parents left him alone."

'So she decided to volunteer as a babysitter? When did doctors start to do charity work?'

Thinking carefully, Jack remembered meeting her with the boy twice already.

He didn't see Rachel as a woman whose kindness would extend up to the point of taking care of somebody's child. In his eyes, it was true that he saw women as gentle and fragile.

They were the ones who would like to have a puppy or kitten as a pet and exclaim in their cutesy voices, "It is so cute. I love it so much!"

Or, they could just simply act as soft and weak if opportunities permitted them to.

Obviously, Rachel did not belong to that group of women. He vividly remembered the day she smashed Eric's hand without blinking.

He didn't like Rachel for she was so cruel to her cousin. But now, she was so soft and kind, as if she was a totally different person.

'Could women change their dispositions in a snap of their fingers?' Jack pondered confused.

Unknowingly, he started to become interested in Rachel.

When he started to think about her, he deliberately stopped himself and made sure that his mind exerted effort to avoid thinking anything connected with her. This was his way not to develop deeper feelings for her.

Another ten minutes had passed, Jack was a hundred percent sure that Mendes was definitely in a dreamland now.

Lifting the quilt, Rachel stood up and said, "Get up and transfer him on my side."

Slowly, Jack stood up too. Rachel, on the other side, turned on the floor lamp. She smoothed the bed sheet on the side and arranged the pillows. She then looked at Jack and signaled to him to get ready. "Be careful. Put him here."

Cautiously, Jack picked Mendes up and moved him to Rachel's place. As another layer of precaution, she placed a thick carpet on the floor to lessen the impact in case Mendes fell.

After carefully moving Mendes on the other side, Jack finally sighed in relief.

Opposite him, Rachel bent and tucked Mendes in the quilt.

That was when he smelled her scent again. Though it was faint, Jack thought it was really nice. On the other hand, Rachel had no idea of her effect on Jack.

Looking down at her, Jack saw her neck, fair and smooth. When she moved again to lift the quilt and cover Mendes up the waist, he glimpsed her delicate collarbone and generous chest.

Cursing in his mind, he hurriedly looked away. He didn't dare to look at her anymore. He lay down instead and buried himself under the quilt. In a cold voice, he said, "I'm going to sleep now."

Used to his mood, Rachel didn't feel anything unusual. When she lay down beside him, he could smell her scent better.
