Stuck in you

As expected, Eric said, "Rachel, I have something to deal with tonight, so I will be back home late. My mom needs some medicine for her stomach so..."

He deliberately paused as if expecting Rachel to say something. She understood his purpose, so she asked, "What is her medicine? I'll buy it from the pharmacy and bring it to her."

Since Linda had to take her medicine at lunchtime, Rachel took a taxi to Eric's house during her lunch break. As soon as she entered the community, she saw a man who looked familiar to her.

She tried to recall in her memory who that man was. After taking a few more steps, she thought, 'Is that Kale?

Why is he here? Does he also live here?'

She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Linda's voice. "Rachel?"

When she saw Linda walking towards her, Rachel composed herself. Seeing her holding a purse, she asked with a smile, "Aunt Linda, where are you going?"

"I run out of medicine, so I'll go to the pharmacy while the rain has stopped." Linda pointed to the pharmacy across the gate of the community.

Rachel raised the paper bag in her hand and slightly shook it. "You don't need to go to the pharmacy anymore. Eric called me and asked me to bring your medicine here."

Linda nodded and ushered her back to Eric's apartment. Rachel looked back to check if Kale was still there, and she saw him getting in a taxi. When they were in the living room, she asked curiously, "Aunt Linda, did Kale come to visit you just now?"

"Yes." The smile on Linda's face dissipated as she continued, "He came to apologize to me. He also told me many things about us in the past, but sadly, I can't remember any of them."

She knocked her head with her clenched fist several times.

Rachel noticed that she was hitting her head forcefully,

so she stopped her at once. "Aunt Linda, even if you break your head, you still won't remember anything."

"You are right," Linda agreed and lowered her gaze sadly. She poured tea to Rachel's teacup and motioned her to drink.

Since Linda came back, Rachel had never seen her this sad before, so she couldn't help regretting that she asked such a question. She was about to say something to divert her attention, when Linda grabbed her hands and rolled down on the floor while shouting, "Rachel, my head hurts!"

When Rachel put down the teacup in her hand, she couldn't hear Linda's voice anymore.
