Stuck in you

'That's all?' Jack wondered.

But he was still very worried about Rachel. "Her ankle is so swollen. I think she needs an X-ray."

The old doctor squinted at him. "You don't trust me?" he asked with a slight sigh.

But he didn't wait for Jack's answer and waved his hand. "I've checked it already. You can have it double-checked if you don't trust me, and I'll be responsible if I missed anything."

His words made most of the people present laugh. But Jack was not amused. His face was grim and his eyes remained serious. 'Why is this doctor not treating this case professionally?' he wondered to himself.

As a doctor herself, Rachel had a good idea of her situation. Although the pain kept most of her senses busy, she could tell if her bones were hurt or not.

The old doctor wrote down on the patient chart and then prescribed an anti-inflammatory medicine. "Find the nurse to help you reduce the swelling. Then come back to correct the tendon," he said finally.

When Jack took the list, the doctor studied him from head to toe. He then pushed his glasses up his nose to better position it. "You young people are really good at messing around. Did you two just had a fight?"

He looked back and forth between Jack and Rachel with an expression that told them that he was sure that they had a fight.

"Do we look like we just had a fight?" Jack asked seriously in response. His face looked incredulous from the doctor's question.

The doctor took another look at Jack, carefully this time, and then at Rachel. He nodded and his face became even more serious. "Yeah, you two look like you just had a fight," he said confidently.

There was a momentary pause before he continued speaking. "As husband and wife, it's natural to quarrel and argue with each other. But you cannot overdo it, especially in the middle of the night..."

But Jack interrupted him right away before he could finish what he was saying. "Thank you very much for your advice. But we prefer to have her feet treated tonight, please."

Michael and Lea instinctively looked down on the floor as they held back their laughter. Michael slightly rubbed his nose with the back of his index finger and gently cleared his throat.

The doctor's office was too small for everyone to stay inside. Lucas went to get the prescribed medicine while Marcus and Henry waited outside.

They straightened up when they saw them coming out of the clinic. "How's Rachel? Is it bad?"

"She's fine. Just twisted her tendon," Lea replied in a flat tone. She turned to her back and saw Jack carrying Rachel out in his arms. The looked like an odd pair.

Jack looked like a full gentleman who assisted the injured lady in his arms. Rachel, on the other hand, looked as if she was being carried by a stranger that she had never seen before.
