Stuck in you

Chapter 148 Verbose Eric

Rachel tried her best to comfort Eric. "If you don't mind, you can have a cosmetic surgery."

"It doesn't matter. It's easy for a man to get scars," Eric chuckled.

"Go and find someone to give you more scars then!" Rachel slapped his shoulder and laughed.

"Ouch! You don't have to be so cruel, I'm not that stupid," said Eric as he lowered his head.

Rachel crossed her arms and frowned. "Then why were you so impulsive? You're a grown man, Eric. You're not a kid anymore, make better decisions!" He shook his head and snickered. "Alright already, I will. I'll stop being impulsive."

"Good. If this ever happens again, I'll be the one to add more scars on you," she said as she applied the ointment on Eric's scar.

Eric winced and the corner of his mouth twitched. Who knew Rachel could be this scary?

Rachel noticed that her ointment had run out and she rummaged through the medicine kit for another one. Suddenly, someone tapped on her shoulder and held out the ointment before her.

It was Jack. She didn't even notice when he got here.

Rachel took the medicine from his hand and said, "When did you get here? Why didn't you say something?"

"I just came in. Didn't you hear me come in?"

"No, I didn't notice. Anyway, thanks for this."

Eric wanted to turn his head to see Jack, but Rachel told him not to move.

Eric made no effort to contest and stayed still.

Jack leaned his back on the wall while crossing his arms and smiling. He noticed that Rachel was in a better mood than yesterday.

"Are you free today?" asked Rachel.

Jack was surprised. Was she trying to drive him away?

After a few seconds of pondering, he answered, "I'm dropping by the company this afternoon."

"I see." Rachel focused her attention on applying the medicine to Eric's wounds

Jack thought she was acting weird so he stood in attention.

'Is she still mad at me?'

After Rachel applied ointment to Eric's back, Eric wanted to wear his shirt but she advised him that he should let the ointment dry out first.

The black scab and the ferocious red wound with thread stitches were still there.

It was still quite painful, but it was bearable enough after the ointment had been applied.

When Rachel went to wash her hands, Jack called Eric's attention.

Eric, who was humming on the back of the chair, was frightened. He turned his head to look at him. "What?" By the sound of his voice, he was not happy to be talking to Jack.

Jack smiled and put his hand on Eric's shoulder.
