Stuck in you

Jonathan glared at Jack. "He wouldn't dare!"

Jack gritted his teeth in an effort to control himself. He couldn't stand it anymore. He felt like if he stayed here any longer, his father would just make all his decisions for him.

Without saying anything, he abruptly got up and walked out of the room. After a moment of hesitation, Rachel followed him out as well.

As they left, Jonathan and Eric, who were having a pleasant conversation in the ward, turned and looked at the door at the same time.

Then, they turned back to each other with tacit smiles in their eyes.

It was only when Jack reached the balcony that he realized that Rachel was following him.

He put away the pack of cigarettes in his hand and asked indifferently, "Why are you leaving the ward too?"

Rachel smiled thinly. "To let them talk."

Then, after a pause, she added, "Actually, I came out to say thank you."

There was a flicker of emotion in Jack's deep eyes before they became unreadable once again. He put his hand on the balcony railing and lightly tapped on its edge with his slender fingers.

"For what?"

Rachel nodded her head and said earnestly, "Thank you so much for your help in the past few days."

Upon hearing this, Jack smiled bitterly and stepped closer to Rachel, towering threateningly over her.

Rachel couldn't help but nervously take a step back, cornering herself against the balcony railing.

Just as she prepared to push Jack away, however, he stopped in his tracks.

Then, pursing his lips, he said in a low voice, "Do you think I did all those things just to hear a thank you from you?"

Hearing a hint of turbulence in his voice, Rachel held her breath.

Her intuition told her that if she answered yes, he would be furious.

"No. It's not like that..."

"Then why do you think I did those things?" This time, he moved closer to her until his face was almost touching hers.

As Rachel looked into his mysterious eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She had nowhere to retreat, but she didn't dare to push him away. In the end, she leaned against the railing and turned her head to the side so that she wouldn't have to look into his eyes.

Unable to answer his question, she tightened her lips. Fortunately, the light was too dim for Jack to see the awkward expression on her face.

Still, he wasn't going to let her go until he got an answer out of her.
