Stuck in you

"Something happened to Rachel. I have to go back and see her," Lucas said frowning.

Claris' expressions immediately changed when she heard her name. "Rachel Shen?" she asked. "The one who went to the same college as you?"

"Yes. I'm sorry. Let's just reschedule and go out some other time." He quickly turned around without waiting for her response and got himself ready to leave.

If Lucas had to leave for some other urgent reason, then Claris would not make it seem like a big deal. But knowing that he was leaving for another woman made it felt like a stake was driven through her heart.

Claris always did her best to date him. But the current situation made it more difficult for her. She approached him and wrapped her arms around his muscular arm. It took almost all of her willpower not to show anger or jealousy on her face.

"What happened to her?" she asked in a worried tone that had no hint of what she truly felt. "Is it serious? I can go with you. I'm free now."

There was hesitation on Lucas' face as he stared at her for a moment, but at length, he finally agreed.

Claris held his hand in hers and pretended not to notice the sudden tension in him.

She smiled at him reassuringly and said, "Let's go!"

She wanted to go with Lucas to see what was so special about this Rachel that she'd heard so much about.

It was hard for Claris to believe that the relationship between Lucas and Rachel was nothing more than the relationship between long time college friends. But since he seemed to be attached to her cousin, Claris concluded that she must be pestering him.

Claris went on to imagine different scenes between Lucas and Rachel in her mind. It made her want to show off to Rachel the intimacy between her and Lucas once she saw her.

If only Rachel knew that she had made enemies without even doing anything.

Sheila could not swallow her anger despite knowing that she would never be able to defeat the hospital by herself.

What made it worse, was that she knew that the hospital belonged to the Zhou family, and going against the entire Zhou family on her own would be like hitting her head against a brick wall.

Sheila was convinced that Kevin was responsible for her sister's untimely death. And she wanted to get her revenge on him.

Fortunately, Sheila has a new boyfriend and her boyfriend's father was the chief of police. She cried before him and told him that her sister's death was all because of Kevin.

As expected, her boyfriend promised that he would definitely help her with the matter.

What Sheila never expected was that he would be so audacious in his desire to help her that he arrested Kevin and Rachel without properly following the legal process.

He never checked the background of the hospital before he proceeded to vent his anger on them on behalf of Sheila.

But bullies were never used to thinking things over before they act. And his actions had offended Jack.
