Stuck in you

Howard was now sure that Mark had met Rachel.

However, he was afraid that Mark would refuse to say anything to him just because of their sour relationship. "Mark, have you seen her?" he prodded.

Mark raised his head and shot Howard a cold glance that chilled the whole room.

However, Jack just stared at Mark silently, patiently waiting for his answer.

At this point, saying something could make matters worse.

Mark burrowed his hands back into his pockets and turned to Jack. "Yes, I saw her. She's probably at the hospital now."

Both Jack and Howard were stunned to hear this.

The former anxiously walked forward and asked, "What happened? Why is she at the hospital?"

Howard looked expectantly at Mark for an explanation; he was equally at a loss as to how Rachel could have suddenly gone to the hospital, let alone why.

'She didn't even go downstairs. Did she teleport out of the house? It doesn't make sense!' he thought.

"Bill was not feeling well, and that lady happened to see him," Mark explained. "When I called the ambulance, she went along with him to the hospital."

Jack didn't know who Bill was or what had happened, but now that he knew Rachel's whereabouts, he finally calmed down.

Before he could enquire about which hospital she had gone to, he heard Howard's anxious voice. "Wait, what did you just say? Bill is not feeling well? What happened to him? And why is he here?"

Mark just sneered at Howard. "How would I know? It's not like I made him sick. You'd better ask him."

Then, he glanced at the CCTV footage and remembered something. "Can you be more stupid? How can you not find them even after checking the CCTV?" he mocked.

Howard clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger.

Even though he knew that Mark didn't like him, he had always treated him well, no matter how rude he was.

But now, Mark had crossed the line! Did he think that Howard would sit back and take any insult?

How could he raise such a rude and disrespectful stepson?

Before he could reproach Mark, however, Jack cut in. "Please tell me which hospital she went to. My wife didn't bring anything with her," he said politely.

However, Howard couldn't let go of the fury burning in his heart. "Mark, mind your words," he warned coldly.

As far as Mark was concerned, getting on Howard's nerves was an accomplishment. Once again, he ignored Howard and told Jack the name of the hospital that Rachel had gone to. "She went with the medical staff down the side staircase on the second floor, and then got into the ambulance."
