Stuck in you

Rachel had never wanted to marry Jack in the first place. But since it was Jonathan's wish, she didn't have the heart to refuse his request.

In the hospital of the Zhou family, she also had the freedom to do whatever she wanted. Therefore, she didn't care about the rumors. There was no way they could hurt her.

As a matter of fact, Rachel wasn't taking it seriously at all. She hadn't even thought of snitching to Lucas or James.

But deep in James' heart, he felt very sorry for her. He thought that he didn't take good care of her enough to let her suffer from those rumors.

Rachel knew what he was thinking. He didn't want her to be wronged. However, she really thought it wasn't necessary to pay attention to those trifles.

Since James still felt bad about it, Rachel decided to just follow his orders. She wouldn't go to the hospital for the time being and she would just let him arrange everything for her.

After hanging up the phone, Rachel had nothing to do all of a sudden. She looked around and decided to just clean the house. She picked up some trash and put them in a garbage bag.

When she was done, she walked to the door to throw the garbage bag. She was about to open the door when she heard some noise outside. Rachel stepped back reflexively. All of a sudden, someone opened the door from the outside.

A tall and strong figure of a man stood in front of her. His face looked slightly shocked upon seeing that she was at home.

Rachel didn't expect that he would come either. So she stood still absentmindedly, clutching the garbage bag in her hand tightly.

Jack looked at the stuff in her hand and his eyes became emotional. He then asked, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"

"I didn't hear them," she said subconsciously.

The moment she finished her sentence, her phone rang again.

Her ringtone could be heard clearly in the living room. She felt a little embarrassed so she stood there awkwardly without looking back.

Jack stared at her with an unreadable expression before he stepped inside. He said indifferently, "Your phone is ringing. Why don't you answer it?"

Rachel was stiff for a moment. She put down the trash bag silently, turned around, and walked towards the sofa. She was thinking who could be calling her this time.

As she read the caller's name on the screen, she gnashed her teeth in anger. It had been more than two weeks since the last time she heard from Eric.

'Damn it!' she thought.

She picked up her phone with a dim expression on her face. But before she could even say anything, she heard Eric's miserable voice all of a sudden. "Rachel! Come and save me. Someone wants to kill me!" Rachel was stunned.

Eric's voice was so loud that even Jack, who was standing behind her, could hear it.

The call had brought her back to that day in early spring. Eric also called her in such a dramatic way, telling her that Jack was going to cut his hand off.
