Stuck in you

In the end, the two men were taken out of the place. Seeing this, their wives hurried after them in panic.

It wasn't until they were out of sight that Jonathan finally saw Rachel standing by the door. Her glassy eyes stared at him in a daze. She was still trying to process what the other men were saying.

With a tinge of panic written all over his face, Jonathan walked up to her and squatted down. "You're awake," he noted.

She quickly avoided his outstretched hand as if it had been drenched in poison.

Although she was still young, she understood what the men were trying to say.

Jonathan blinked in astonishment at the sight of her flinching under his touch.

He tried to smile. "What's wrong?

Did you hear their nonsense?" This time, his voice sounded much farther away. Rachel squinted her eyes as she tried to follow the sound of the voice.

"Rachel!" Jack finally shook her out of her dream. When Rachel finally opened her eyes, she could feel tears sliding down her cheeks. At that point, she looked like a child who had been bullied as her innocent and confused gaze turned to him.

"What's wrong?

Did you have a nightmare?"

"I don't know," she stuttered out. Her voice was hoarse.

Jack's thumb slid down her face, wiping away the tears. "You were crying."

"Was I?" Embarrassed, she wiped her face.

Rachel turned around and buried her head in his arms. She focused on his heartbeat, trying to calm herself. She looked like a puppy trying to seek some shelter.

Jack wrapped his arms around her.

He rubbed his chin against Rachel's soft hair and patted her on the back. It was as if he was comforting a child.

He didn't ask about her nightmare, wanting nothing more but for her to relax and go back to sleep. There was no need for her to relieve those awful thoughts.

Rachel sighed softly, resting in his arms for a while. It took a few more seconds before she finally fell asleep.

When she woke up, they were still in the same position. The sound of Jack's slow heartbeat sounded in her ears, and she snuggled closer against his touch.

Jack woke up at her movement. He kissed her on the forehead, muttered sweet words, before closing his eyes again.

They were warm against each other's arms. With a smile, Rachel raised her head and kissed him on the cheek.

She saw just how much Jack had changed in the few weeks.

Back then, she still wasn't sure as to whether she should trust him or not. Now, she was certain that she would live her entire life with him.

Although she had already woken up, she still didn't want to part from his warm arms. Without another word, she leaned against his chest and slept just for a while as she tried to cherish his hold.

However, even if she did felt at peace, she couldn't help but think of the dream she just had. He said her parents' death was caused by the Fu family.
