Stuck in you

Chapter 362 Caught The Thief

Seeing Rachel was all alone, the cleaner kindly reminded her that it was time for breakfast.

With a nod and a smile toward the cleaner, Rachel tied her hair behind her head with a rubber band. She was about to get out of the bed when she heard Eric's voice coming from the door of the ward. "Hospital fare must terrible. Rachel, I've prepared your favorite breakfast⁠—porridge with minced pork and pancakes."

"Eric! Why are you here so early?"

Rachel looked up with a confused expression, ready to ask more, but then choked when she saw Jack follow the other man into the ward.

'Why is he here, too?

After I specifically told Eric not to tell him...'

Noticing her questioning look, Eric quickly put down the breakfast in his hand and wisely chose to run away. He covered his stomach and exaggeratedly said, "Ugh, I'm not feeling too well. I must have drunk too much water just now. I need go to the bathroom."

He patted Jack's arm and left the ward in a flash.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet.

Rachel's eyes shifted from side to side. She didn't know where to look and what to say to break the silence between them.

After a long while, she bit her lower lip and opened her mouth to say, "You⁠..."

"You⁠..." To her surprise, Jack said it at the same time she did.

The two of them froze again.

After a while, Jack came forward, opened the takeaway bag, took out a spoon, and handed it to her. "Have some food first."

Taking the spoon, Rachel looked up at him carefully. Seeing that Jack was also looking down at her, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to focus on eating her porridge.

A folded napkin was handed to her. Jack said lightly, "Wipe your mouth."

"Okay."

Like an obedient child, Rachel took it and wiped her mouth. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Jack, are you still mad at me?"
