Stuck in you

Rachel pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

Jack really had work to do, so after finishing the noodles and taking the medicine, he took his laptop and went back to the study.

Since she was left alone, Rachel felt bored because she had nothing to do.

She decided to take a walk around.

Then she finally believed what Jack had said—"I usually stay in the company most of the time.

All of a sudden, Rachel felt that she was able to know a different Jack.

In her memory, Jack had always been leisurely. But now, she saw so many documents piled up in the study that he wanted to finish as soon as possible. Moreover, he was also very careful in asking her questions about what really happened today.

For Jack, he couldn't accept that his wife had been bullied. It was very obvious that someone was plotting against Rachel.

No one reported the case to the police. Then they just showed up in the hospital to accuse her of murder despite having no evidence in their hands.

He was so eager to find out who was that person capable of playing such trick to his wife.

When Jack finished his work, he came out of the study to check on Rachel. But he was surprised to see her sleeping soundly, with head askew on the sofa.

Her slim body curled up on the big dark grey sofa. Half of her face was covered by her long hair. From where Jack was standing, only the tip of her nose and her red lips were visible indistinctly.

He walked closer to her. He wanted to wake her up, but upon seeing that she was really asleep, he couldn't have the heart to do so.

He went to the bedroom and get a blanket. He then crouched and covered her with it.

Rachel was awakened by his movements.

She opened her eyes and looked at him sleepily.

The air conditioner was a bit low so Rachel felt cold. She felt comfortable when Jack covered her with a blanket. Then he whispered into her ear, "Go back to sleep if you still feel sleepy. I'll just wake you up later."

Rachel was completely in a daze. She didn't sleep well the other night and everything she had went through today made her feel more exhausted.

That was the reason why she was immediately hit by sleepiness the moment she sat down and relaxed.

Jack's soft voice made her fall asleep again.

He adjusted the air conditioner's temperature and removed the funny fever patch on his forehead.

As he stared at the patch, he couldn't help biting his lower lip and smiled.

He looked at Rachel who was again curled up on the sofa.
