Stuck in you

"Go ahead. We will wait for you," Rachel said and Eric vanished quickly.

Before long, he came back as there were not many patients at noon.

Eric’s hand had properly healed.

After writing a short note requesting for leave, Rachel left the hospital with them. Her temperature had lowered a little.

Eric demonstrated great concern by feeling Rachel’s forehead, when he noticed her gloomy attitude. "Why don’t you get an intravenous drip before we go back?" he asked.

"That’s not necessary at all," answered Rachel. "I will be fine as long as I take some medicine."

Eric looked at Rachel with amusement and abruptly burst into laughter. "Turns out a doctor will get a fever too," he joked.

Rachel pursed her lips and leaned her head against the window without a word.

Lucas, who was driving, narrowed his eyes.

"Cover her with that blanket," he told Eric.

'What a considerate man!' thought Eric. It was at this point that he noticed that Lucas had brought a blanket specifically for Rachel to cover herself from the cold breeze.

He leaned over and whispered to Rachel, "Why is Lucas so nice to you?"

Rachel's heart missed a beat. She lifted her foot and stepped hard on his.

"Ouch!" shouted Eric in pain.

Lucas felt amused

and shook his head slightly.

They arrived at Rachel’s residence very quickly because the traffic was not very heavy.

As they all got out of the car, Rachel was a little shocked to see a sleek, black Land Rover packed in the garage.

"Why does this car seem familiar?" blurted Eric after following Rachel’s gaze. He blinked in confusion.

Rachel ignored him and slightly pursed her dry lips.

Lucas followed Rachel’s gaze, unaware that the car belonged to Jack. "Did you buy a new car?" he asked with a grin on his face.

"Of course not," Rachel answered.

She looked away from Lucas and intuitively directed her gaze upstairs.

She wondered why the car was in her garage. Had Jack come to her house again?
