Stuck in you

During the swimming competition, when Jack tried his best to swim to the other side, he heard chaos from behind him. After straining his ear, he heard they shout, "Someone is drowning!"

He immediately came to a halt and turned around. He turned to look where people were looking and caught sight of a struggling figure. He realized it was none other than Rachel. His expression froze. Then he swam towards her using all his might.

Slowly, she was beginning to stop struggling. This scared him even more. "Rachel, hold on! I am coming for you!" he screamed. He was so fast that he ended up reaching there before the lifeguard. However, she had already lost her consciousness.

Her smiling face turned pale and her lips were bloodless. Soaked in ice-water, her body lacked warmth.

It was like she was dead.

Jack didn't dare to think further. He kept pressing her chest with his hands and growled, "Rachel, wake up!" Even after she was okay, he thought about this dreadful scene. It was a nightmare from which he would never get over.

Now at the hospital, looking at his tight muscles and trembling hands, Rachel couldn't help chuckling. In a relaxed tone, she said, "Jack, why does it look like you are the one who almost drowned?"

"I wish I was the one who drowned. It wouldn't have hurt this much," said Jack through gritted teeth.

Rachel was quite touched by his words. "I'm fine, don't worry."

While they were chatting, the doctor entered the ward and began to examine her carefully. "Rachel, you are all right. In fact, your fever has subdued and I can detect no lung infection. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," he informed with a smile.

Hearing this, Jack frowned. "Are you sure? Didn't she need to take an ECG or a brain CT? We are in no hurry. You can look after her properly," he said, not letting Rachel to speak.

Seeing how anxious Jack was, the doctor and the nurse had a hard time holding back their laughter. Even though they had seen several loving husbands, none were as concerned as Jack. Rachel quickly shook her head and said, "Dr. Chen is quite a professional doctor. He makes no mistake."

Dr. Chen laughed, not a least bit offended. He shifted his gaze to Jack and promised, "She is doing fine. I know you are concerned about Rachel, but rest assured, there is no need for these inspections."

After saying that, he couldn't help laughing. When he realized what had happened, he quickly took the medical record to cover his face and hurried away.

Few minutes passed but Jack stood stock-still. Rachel couldn't get any reaction out of him. 'Perhaps he is angry,' she thought and got ready to explain. But before she could do that, he looked at her in a daze. "Is what Dr. Chen said true? Are those scans unnecessary?"

It turned out he was still fixated on that.

To be honest, this shocked Rachel.

She nodded her head and said, "Yes, Jack. It's true. It makes me anxious to see you look so nervous. Cheer up, I'm fine."

"Okay, I see." But deep down, he was still worried.
