Stuck in you

At the mention of Lucas, Rachel realized what had happened. Her hands flew up to her mouth, and she asked in a serious tone, "What the hell happened to you last night? You were acting like a toddler. You're not like that."

"It's nothing." Jack grabbed her hand, showing every intention to continue.

Rachel moved aside to evade him. "Let's make everything clear first."

At her insistence, Jack turned over and lay back on the side, one hand resting on the back of his head. He looked up at the ceiling and snorted, "Fine! I admit I was jealous."

Hearing Rachel's laughter, he smiled and continued, "But I'm relieved to know that he's going to be a father."

That explained the mercurial shift of his mood that time.

Rachel was a little speechless, but sweetness bloomed in her heart.

Just then, Jack suddenly turned them over and pressed her on her back. With a smirk on his face, he murmured, "Of course, I can only rest assured completely if you become a mother, yourself."

After that, the bedroom was filled with sounds of sweet lovemaking, and it was like love redirected the sunlight outside the window.

Rachel was late for work. When she arrived at the office, she saw several people surrounding her office door and several nurses standing anxiously at the side and looking completely overwhelmed.

One of the nurses walked over, took her hand, and led her toward the exit. She whispered, "Rachel, I think it will be better if you go somewhere else and stay for a while."

"What's going on?" she asked in confusion.

The nurse sighed slightly and said, "Last week, the director performed a surgery. Before the operation, a member of the patient's family gave him a cigarette. Now, the patient's post-operative recovery isn't looking too good, so the family have come to stir up some trouble."

Rachel frowned. This kind of thing was common within a hospital's setting. Once, a nurse was reported for eating an apple given by a patient's family.

Now, the director was probably not in the hospital, so the patient's family could do nothing but wait in the department office.

She thought for a while and asked, "Where is that patient now?"

"He's in ICU. His temperature was a bit high yesterday." The nurse pursed her lips in concern.
