Stuck in you

Chapter 259 Temporary Blindness

Rachel lowered her head and spat out the toothpaste foam from her mouth.

At the door behind her, Eric stared at the back of her head, dumbfounded at the sight.

Her glossy black hair had been shaved, and he could see the faint outline of scabs and bruises on her scalp. The back of her head had a gauze attached to it, just so it didn't incur any infections.

Eric's nose twitched as he watched Jack take care of her as if he was treating a child. He took the towel from the rack and helped his wife wipe her mouth.

Before Eric came here, Jonathan had already informed him of Rachel's condition. The doctor had told them that she would temporarily lose her sight due to a clot pressing on one of her visual nerves.

Her vision would be blurred for a while, but it wouldn't be permanent. Today, she would have to go back to Ninwell City for further treatment.

When he thought of how urgent Rachel's condition was, Eric could feel his heart sink.

Uneasy, he turned and walked away.

After waiting outside for a while, Eric saw Jack taking Rachel's hand and assisting her out of the bathroom as cautiously as possible.

Eric couldn't help but feel bad that he wasn't there when she needed him the most.

Rachel's head turned anxiously as she tugged Jack's arm. "Where is he?"

"I'm here," Eric replied.

Jack took Rachel in front of Eric before bringing out a chair for her to sit down. He glanced at his watch. "I'll go downstairs to buy some breakfast for you, okay?"

"Okay."

Eric waved his hand when the man glanced at him. "Don't worry, I've already had breakfast."

Jack curled his lips. "I wasn't going to ask you."

"F—" Eric glanced at Rachel and didn't finish. He was smart.

Now that his strongest backer was right beside him, there was no way Jack would bully him.

"Rachel, how about I give you my advice?"

"What suggestion?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Let's leave this man and find you another husband."

As expected, Jack stopped in his tracks. He turned around and glared at him. If looks could kill, Eric would've already been swimming in the depths of hell.

A shiver ran down his spine, but Eric didn't show it. Instead, he smirked and burst into laughter.

This was his chance. When Rachel wasn't around, he couldn't find it in himself to strike back at Jack. Now that she was here, he could do everything he wanted.

'Take that, asshole!'

Hearing his words, Rachel pursed her lips. She could tell that Jack had stopped moving. "What are you doing?"
