Stuck in you

Seeing the bandage wrapped around Rachel's arm, Jack frowned. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she answered.

Jack raised his hand, wanting to place a comforting hold on her shoulder, but when he spotted the vigilance in her eyes, he held back. "I'll drive you home," he stated, without leaving any room for argument.

Rachel shook her head. "I'll be having dinner with Celia later, and then send her home."

Celia was chatting with Marcus when she heard her name being mentioned. She pointed to her nose. "Send me home?"

Marcus secretly tugged the corner of her sleeve. He glanced at her and shook his head.

'What does he mean?'

Celia furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding what he meant. She was about to say goodbye to him when he grabbed her hand.

"I'll drive her home," Marcus replied.

'What a silly girl,' he thought.

Jack's eyes glimmered with joy as he raised his eyebrows. "In that case, I can drive Rachel home."

The corner of Rachel's mouth twitched.

Celia stared at the retreating figures of the ex-couple. In a few seconds, she realized that her hand was still being held by Marcus. She immediately shook off his hold. "Why did you stop Rachel from driving me home?"

With a faint smile, Marcus didn't bother answering her. Instead, he turned around and walked into one of the consulting rooms behind him. 'She's still silly after so many years,' he thought to himself.

Jack turned the steering wheel and drove steadily along the highway.

He had been about to set off for a dinner party when he had gotten a message from Marcus about Rachel's predicament. He had turned the car around and sped towards the hospital.

He glanced at Rachel who was sitting in the passenger seat. At the sight of her, he couldn't help but feel a little bit giddy over their situation.

Although he was pained at the sight of her injury,

it gave him another chance to spend some time with her.

Noticing his stare, she shifted her position. "Focus on the road."

Jack withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly. In a few minutes, they arrived at the gates of her community, and he got out of the car. Seeing her eyes widened alertly, he explained, "I'm hungry. Do you mind if I come over your place for dinner first?"

"My arm is injured," she said, motioning to the bandage on her arm.

He had already mentally prepared himself for Rachel's refusal. He shrugged. "That's fine. I can cook."
