Stuck in you

Breakfast was served later than usual. Rachel looked at her watch. She would have to take the afternoon shift today.

At noon, she left home and arrived at the hospital, while Jack drove Mendes to the Fu family's house.

Mendes was well loved by the Fu family. Even though Tracy didn't give the child as much attention as her husband did, she didn't neglect him either.

She wanted a grandson more than anything, and the child was the closest one that she could have at the moment.

Rachel arrived at around lunch time. Only a few nurses were on duty as the rest had gone to the cafeteria for lunch.

She entered her office and began to file documents. Lucas suddenly called, wanting to check up on her and Mendes.

Rachel replied that they were both okay and informed him that Mendes had gone to the Fu family's house to play with Johnathan.

Rachel heard him chuckle. "It seems to me that Mendes has become quite popular."

Although he wasn't the most handsome child, but he did have a charming personality.

Lucas sighed deeply. "His father will be back soon. Will Jack be sending him back to the hospital today? I'd like to pick him up this evening."

"I suppose that can be arranged." Johnathan and Mendes were scheduled to play the entire afternoon. Jack could easily send him back after work.

Rachel wondered how much time Jack had to take care of the child. It didn't seem like he was working at all and had been spending considerable amount of time at home.

"Okay..." Lucas was about to say something further, but was abruptly interrupted. Lowering his voice, he said, "Sorry Rachel. Please hold for a while."

Before Rachel could reply, he placed the phone down. She could only hear echoes.

In the distance, she heard a woman's voice. She was reminded of what Mendes had mentioned to her.

Did Lucas have a girlfriend? She held up a pen and nervously spun it with her figures.

She wasn't jealous. She was merely curious as to the identity of the woman she heard in the background.

She heard Lucas pick up the phone and immediately stopped spinning the pen. In a hurry, he said, "I'll contact you later. I have an emergency right now. I am so sorry."

Before he hung up, she heard Lucas' powerful voice. "Claris!"

Rachel's face contorted into a frown.
