Stuck in you

Before Henry could take a step forward to stop Rachel from calling Lea, Jack grabbed his arm. "Perhaps it's not that her phone is turned off, but that she blocked your number."

From personal experience he knew how easily women would do that. In fact, Rachel had done it to him a couple of times.

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard Rachel's voice coming from the balcony. It turned out she had managed to connect to Lea. And now, they were talking.

Jack glanced at him and passed him a smile which seemed to be saying "I told you." Patting on his shoulder, he said, "Henry, you still have a long way to go."

Rachel had hung up the phone and was standing in front of the two. She had no idea what their conversation was about nor did she bother to ask. "She is in a hotel with Rita. Let's go," she announced.

Quickly, she grabbed her coat, getting ready to go. However, Jack pulled her back and said, "It's better if Henry goes alone."

The next day, when Rachel arrived at the hospital, she received a call from Lea.

Last night, she had texted Lea saying she wouldn't be able to make it. She received no reply to her text.

"Rachel, come to my house with Jack tonight. I need your help," Lea said.

Smiling, Rachel asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in a hurry to have us for dinner?"

"You'll know when you come. I've asked Henry to inform Jack. I just called you to let you know you should come at any cost." Saying this, Lea hung up the call.

Her words aroused Rachel's curiosity. Obviously she wouldn't cancel it.

Just when she was lost in thoughts, the director came in, handing her a medical record. "There is a patient coming in a while. You deal with it. The ambulance will arrive in about five minutes, so be ready," he ordered.

"Okay," she replied back obligingly.

Five minutes later when Rachel arrived at the gate, she noticed the ambulance hadn't arrived yet. It was a little cold outside. Tired of waiting, she was about to go in. But something stopped her. She caught sight of a familiar figure across the road. After looking at him for a few seconds, she realized he had a striking resemblance to Andy.

Since he was standing very far from her, she couldn't confirm her suspicion.

When she was about to run over to have a closer look, the sound of the ambulance diverted her mind. With an urgent job at hand, she could only suppress her impulse and look at the patient who needed her.

One hour passed before she could wrap up her work. She was sure that the old man wouldn't be there any longer. But to her utter surprise, he was still there! Even from far she could tell her looked confused.

Slowly, she made up her mind to approach him. Once she was near, she realized her hunch was correct. It was indeed Andy and her eyes hadn't played any trick. He was walking back and forth with a bag in his hand. She rushed up and asked, "Andy, why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Rachel, what a coincidence!"
