Stuck in you

Rachel recalled how she had fallen sick after coming back from the Francis‘ engagement party.

After that, she had almost died in a fire while visiting the Ying family villa.

Even though she was trying to keep herself distracted by looking at her phone, her mind kept drifting to all the possible scenarios of things that could have gone wrong to delay Jack so much.

As she took another bite of the apple, she could not help but sigh emotionally.

While she sat there lost in her own thoughts, Andy tidied up the ward and then sat next to Bill in silence.

When the time was almost nine o'clock, the door of the ward suddenly opened and a nurse walked in with a folder.

She glanced at the patient and made a few notes on the document in her hands.

Then, she looked back and forth between Rachel and the old man. Thinking that Rachel was related to the patient, she finally said, "Miss, come with me to register."

Rachel nodded without protest and put down the apple in her hand. She thought that she shouldn't let the old man walk around too much. Besides, it would be better if he was here to keep an eye on Bill. Understanding her intentions, Andy thanked her once again. He was being so polite that Rachel didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're welcome," she said before following the nurse out of the ward.

Five minutes later, Rachel returned to the ward, having finished all the formalities.

This time when she sat down, she was filled with anxiety. Why was Jack taking so long to get here?

Back at the villa, the ambulance and the police cars arrived at almost the same time. Although Celine was usually weak and fragile, she was holding onto Jack with all her strength. When the police arrived, Jack tried to push her away.

However, Celine only tightened her grip on him. Even though Jack tried to gently pry her hands off him, he found that he couldn't.

Celine sobbed harder, burying her face in his chest. "Jack, don't push me away. I'm scared..."

The two policemen exchanged meaningful glances.

This didn't go unnoticed by Celine, who was scared to death by the potential consequences of what she had done.

Although Jack didn't want to do anything to upset her, he finally managed to pull her away from his chest. He looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "I know you're afraid, but stop crying. Let the doctor check whether you are hurt or not."
