Stuck in you

Rachel comforted Andy for a while and didn't ask further questions. A few minutes later, a nurse walked into the ward to check on Bill.

While the nurse talked to Andy, Rachel quietly put down the half-eaten apple and wiped her hands with a tissue. Her stomach was so full that she couldn't eat anything, but she had taken the apple from the old man anyway so as to not seem rude.

When she left the ward, she would take the leftover apple with her.

For now, she turned her eyes to the nurse, who was in the middle of explaining the situation.

After listening for a while, Rachel realized that the nurse wasn't telling them anything she didn't already know. For now, they needed to wait for the patient to wake up.

Since there was nothing of interest to her in what the nurse was saying, she lowered her head and played with the hemline of her beautiful long dress, which had gotten dirty while she was running.

As she flicked the dust off it, she couldn't help but smile in amusement.

After all, there was no way to salvage this dress now; she would have to throw it away.

Anyway, it was all for a good deed. She checked her watch and found that it had been twenty minutes since she had talked to Jack on the phone.

The hospital was not far from the villa. The ambulance had arrived in ten minutes, so a normal civilian should be able to arrive in fifteen minutes or so. However, Jack was taking longer than usual.

Biting her lip, Rachel wondered if something had happened to him.

At the villa, Jack was walking through the garden lost in thought.

He had the same sense of foreboding that Rachel was feeling.

Why did something bad happen every time he and Rachel attended a banquet together?

He decided that he wouldn't bring Rachel with him next time, or if he did, he would keep a close eye on her. Only by staying with her all the time could he ensure that she was safe.

He hadn't expected to see Celine at the banquet, especially in such a messy situation.

As he was walking through the garden,

he heard something that sounded like a soft moan from a woman.

He looked at the bushes where the sound was coming from,

disgust evident in his eyes.

'These people are really not picky. They're just doing whatever they want in another person's house,' he thought with disdain as he walked away.

However, he had barely taken a few steps when heard a small scream from the bushes.

This time, he stopped in his tracks and squinted at the bushes to see what was going on. But before he could move closer, he heard some rustling from the grass.

He thought that a couple was having sex hidden in the bushes, so he didn't want to linger here any longer.
