Stuck in you

Having been on duty for such a long time, the nurse had never seen such a situation. She was so scared that her legs were shaking from the scene. She didn't dare move forward, fearing that she would also be involved.

In the dining room, Celine handed the menu back to the waiter with a bright smile. As silence fell on them, she started, "Last time, when I came here with my colleagues, they told me how good I am at cooking." She chuckled. "In fact, they even compared me to the chef. You can try his cooking later on and make the verdict yourself."

Jack nodded. In reality, he felt even more restless than all the other times he had been roped into social engagements like this one. Sitting in front of Celine was a torment he'd rather not face.

Last time, when he had seen her shopping with his mother, he sent Tracy a message to inform her that he had something urgent to get to.

He thought that her mother's persuasions would be the end of it. However, Tracy wasn't going to surrender that easily.

"You either have dinner with her, or you forget you have a mother!" she had snapped at him.

Given this, he had no other choice but to agree.

Glancing at his watch, he could only wish that time could go by even faster.

"Sir, miss, your dinner is ready. Enjoy."

The waiter carefully placed their plates onto the table and walked off.

Jack had no appetite. He only ate two slices of beef steak before setting his knife and fork back on the table. Seeing as he had nothing else to do, he pulled out his phone and began to scroll through the different articles.

Suddenly, a headline popped up on his phone.

"Tragic! A doctor was beaten by a patient inside her own office!"

He quickly scanned over the article.

The hospital mentioned in the news was the hospital Rachel was working in. Although the news didn't mention the doctor's name, he still felt uneasy.

He quickly called in the waiter, took out his bank card to pay the bill, and stalked off.

It took a few seconds for Celine to realize what was happening. She hurried over towards him and tugged his sleeve. "What happened?"

"I have to go somewhere."

As soon as Jack started the car, he could see that Celine was struggling to open his car door. Once she succeeded, she sat in the front seat. Her lips were set in a thin line.

"Fine, I'll go with you."

He wanted to persuade her otherwise, but he didn't want to waste another second. Instead, he stepped on the gas and sped to the hospital.

Along the way, Jack clenched his jaw as his fingers gripped the steering wheel even tighter. "I hope it's not her," he murmured to himself.
