Stuck in you

Jack had just finished drinking water when he saw Rachel rush into his ward. His eyes lit up instantly at the sight of her. "Why are you running?" he asked as soon as she was within hearing distance.

Each time he saw Rachel, it brought a different kind of happiness to his heart like nothing in the world mattered at all anymore.

Rachel briefly stared back at him as she took his medical record from the end of the bed. The longer she looked at it, the more she frowned. After she studied his medical record, she looked so mad that she almost gritted her teeth. "Jack, you have a very high fever. How can you not feel it at all? And you even went to the company for a meeting? Have you taken the medicine I gave you on time?" she asked in a worried tone.

She looked angry. Her eyes became watery and her lips slightly trembled. The sight of her made Jack's heart feel heavy. He forced himself into a sitting position and looked at her anxiously. "I took the medicine as you asked, but I really don't know how I got a high fever."

Austin stood on one side in silence. He covered his mouth while he snickered for a while. He quickly coughed and cleared his throat when Jack suddenly turned towards him. "I swear that Mr. Fu took his medicine on time," he said suddenly.

He immediately cursed himself for lying. Just that noon, he poured a glass of water for Jack and reminded him to take the medicine. But Jack did not even took heed of what he said and instead pointed at the corner of the table indicating to him to put it aside. He thought that it was because the water was too hot and Jack would take the medicine later. But he never expected that the glass of water was not even touched at all when he went back in at half past three in the afternoon to remind Jack about the meeting.

"Mr. Fu, you haven't taken the medicine yet, have you?" Austin asked helplessly.

Jack touched his forehead and slightly gasped when he suddenly remembered. He checked his watch and said, "Let's have that meeting first."

Austin's words relaxed Rachel a little bit, but her expression was still a little angry. "If you catch a cold, you should make sure to take care of yourself, or your condition will get worse. Taking care of yourself ensures that you have the energy to do all of your work as well, am I right?"

She really admired Jack that he still had the energy to attend a meeting despite his high fever.

"Yes, of course! You are right!"

Jack waved at Austin, signaling to him to leave the room.

He raised his hand, stared at her and swore, "I promise that it won't happen again."

"Who needs to listen to your promises? That's your body. It's yours to take care of. And I really don't care," Rachel replied indifferently.

Despite what she said, she still walked towards Jack, reached out her hand to touch his forehead and check his temperature. When she noticed that his temperature did not improve, she took out a towel and was about to bring it to the bathroom.

But Jack grabbed her clothes when she was about to go to the bathroom. She turned her head towards him and asked, "What are you doing, Jack?"

"Are you still angry?" Jack asked her in a gentle tone of voice.
