Stuck in you

Celia shook her head exasperatedly. "You could've at least told me that you're back with him again."

"Why are you even asking me that?" Rachel frowned and withdrew herself from the young woman's grasp.

"I just saw him walk out there just now." The young woman motioned to the door.

"Couldn't he visit me as a friend?"

"You and I both know how impossible that assumption is!"

Celia wagged her finger up in the air like a mother lecturing a child. A silly smile slid into her lips as her eyes glinted with an emotion that Rachel couldn't decipher.

'Has she always been this hyper?'

Rachel quickly held the woman's forehead as if she was trying to take her temperature. "Did you take your medicine?"

"I'm being serious!"

Celia adjusted her chair and leaned in closer, just to make sure that no one else could hear them. "Before I came in, I heard some gossip from the nurse station. Do you want to know what they said?"

"What?" Rachel placed a pillow on the back of her neck, so she could lean back more easily.

"They said that Jack stayed outside the ward the entire night. Do you know that?"

'The whole night?'

Rachel froze upon hearing her words.

'What was he doing outside? Was he really that worried? But we have already divorced...'

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Celia tapped her shoulder. "Are you still listening to me?"

"Yes. Go on." Rachel was just a little stunned.

After a while, Celia crossed her legs and clapped her hands together. "Everyone's talking about you. They're all jealous that you have such a handsome man who's willing to stay up all night for you. Plus, I saw him enter Dr. Wang's office. He was so upset before he came in, but he was smiling when he got out."

Although Rachel looked indifferent, her heart warmed upon hearing the younger woman's words. Stoic as she was, she couldn't help but allow herself to smile, but she quickly waved it off.

What he had done couldn't mean anything, right? They were already over.

Rachel was overwhelmed with all these different thoughts and emotions.

Celia didn't think too much into it, although she couldn't help but wonder if she would ever meet a man who would treat her like this, like she was some sort of priceless treasure.
