Stuck in you

However, as soon as this thought popped into his mind, he did his best to dismiss it.

He wouldn’t let himself entertain such a ridiculous thought. How could he think like that?

Rachel was oblivious to everything that had happened at home. At the moment, she was still preoccupied with work.

There was never a lack of patients in the emergency department. Different kind of injuries and accidents would bring in people from all walks of life. In a single day, she would have to spend hours and hours at the operating room, healing and bringing life back to them. As soon as Rachel sat down for a cup of tea, she would be called in again for the next operation.

Right now, two patients had come after being met with an accident. One was male and the other female. But thankfully, neither of them was seriously injured.

When the nurse was cleaning their wounds, Rachel smelled a strong odor of alcohol. It was wafting in the air and was undoubtedly coming from the patients. As a doctor, she had to tolerate a lot of such behavior! This was the worst part of her job. The female patient had her head bowed down. But once she looked up, Rachel was stunned. It was none other than Celine! 'This is indeed a small world,' she thought to herself and let out a sigh.

She wished she could ask a different doctor to take care of Celine.

After the affair she was having with Jack, it felt odd treating her.

A little nervously, Rachel had an internal debate as to what to do.

Fortunately, Rachel wore a mask and had forgotten to wear her employee card. There was no fear of Celine recognizing her.

But truth be told, it wouldn’t matter even if Celine managed to recognize her. ’What can she do?’ Rachel thought and her answer was nothing. Under the circumstance, Celine was in no position to be rude to her. If anything, Rachel had the upper hand here!

The strong smell of alcohol was making it hard for Rachel to think properly. She felt like she could puke any second! Even without asking, Rachel made up her mind that the alcohol was the cause of this accident. It seemed pretty obvious. But the nurse spoke up and revealed it was the driver’s fatigue that led this accident.

Now it was time for Rachel to be surprised. ‘Turns out my suspicion is wrong,’ she thought with a building curiosity.

Rachel began to inspect Celine's face. Normally, she always looked gorgeous. But today she looked terrible. And an expression of fright was plastered upon her face. Black circles had formed below her eyes.

Her face was covered with various colors caused by the smudging of makeup. Even now, tears streamed down her face. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was in a mess. Her elbows had patches of blood on it.

Anyone who knew Celine would have had difficulty in recognizing her if they saw her now. Such terrible was her present state! It made people's hair stand on end. Rachel walked up to her and found that Celine was still in a trance. "Has she done other tests?" she whispered to the nurse by her side.

The nurse shook her head. Rachel squatted down, ready to deal with Celine's wounds. Celine was on the verge of fainting. Nothing made sense to her. Rachel pulled her left arm and began to deal with the wounds.

It was supposed to be a nurse's job. Considering they didn't have enough hands to help, Rachel decided to help.

Celine let out a cry of pain as soon as her wound was touched.
