Stuck in you

Chapter 298 Her Heart Hurts

Jack nodded back. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He had already done so much for the sake of their previous relationship.

But they should accept that it would be better if they ended their friendship.

He took a piece of tissue to wipe his hands with. "Rest well. I need to go back now. Call me if anything happens."

He turned around and was about to leave, but Celine reached out and grabbed his suit. She held on to it tightly as she stared straight into his eyes. "Don't go," she said in a coarse voice.

Beads of tears started to flow down from her eyes and down to her pillow.

He hesitated for a while as he looked at her. At length, he finally took her hand and placed it back in the quilt. "The nurses are just outside. Call them if you need anything," he said in a calm tone of voice.

"I feel scared when you're not here.

But if you really have to leave, can I go with you? I don't want to be left here all alone."

Celine gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up. The intravenous needle connected to her arm was moved at an irregular angle and her blood started to flow into the tubing.

Jack felt that he had no choice but to pull up a chair and sit down next to her bed. "Go to sleep. I will not leave," he said.

'Rachel must be asleep already,' he thought to himself.

The two never noticed that just outside the ward, a man proudly put away his mobile phone and left the hospital with a brief smile on his lips and a spring in his steps.

He had had a stomach problem and gone to the hospital to have himself treated.

He never expected to see Jack with Celine in his arms as he hurried to get in.

At Rachel's apartment

It was already late but she remained sitting on the sofa. She barely moved from her initial position when she first sat on the sofa earlier that evening.

It made her feel colder and colder the longer she sat there. Her body started trembling gently like she was dropped into an ice cooler.

She called Jack's phone, but he was not within the service area.

She thought to call Austin, but she remembered that she had deleted all of his call logs, and she never saved his contact information.

Rachel sat on the sofa like a statue. She stayed there, unmoving, until a bright ray of sunshine started to push its way through the window and to her eyes.

It made her feel like her spirits were uplifted.

Rachel sighed deeply, as the disappointment slowly took a firm grip at her heart. She brought herself up from the sofa and was about to prepare for work.

She dragged herself to the bathroom, and decided to just wash her face. When she got out of the bathroom, she suddenly heard her mobile phone vibrating against the table.

'Did he finally call?' she thought to herself.
