Stuck in you

Tears streamed down Tracy's face silently.

At those words, Jack's original calm morphed into agitation. The blue veins on his forehead popped menacingly. He stood up and spat out through gritted teeth, "Don't disturb her!"

"But you can't keep on being like this!" Tracy burst out in a heartbroken voice.

"Leave me alone." Without saying another word, Jack turned around and left.

Hearing the sound of the motor outside, Tracy collapsed, weeping on Jonathan's shoulder.

The wedding decorations remained stuck on the door and windows, still looking dazzling even though they should have already been removed long before.

Jonathan snorted and yelled at the workers in the yard, "Why haven't you cleared these up yet?"

The two workers compiling dead branches trembled unconsciously. They rushed forward and tore off all of the wedding stickers on the windows.

In the hospital, Bill was standing outside the emergency room. The door was firmly closed, but he still tried to see what was going on inside.

Half an hour had passed, but the door still did not budge.

Finally, the door opened, and a nurse walked out. Bill reached out his hand to stop her. "How is she?"

"Which patient? Sir, there are so many people in the emergency room. How do I know which patient you are referring to?" the nurse said impatiently.

"Rachel Shen," he quickly supplied. "How is she doing?"

The nurse frowned as she tried to recall the patient's information and then said, "Ah, there's nothing wrong with her. She only fainted because of hypoglycemia."

The tension finally bled out of Bill as he heard the nurse's words. He heaved a sigh of relief and said in a much calmer tone, "Can I go in and see her now?"

"Not right now," the nurse replied with a shake of her head. "Once her condition has stabilized, we will transfer her to the ward. You can visit her there later."

Bill looked like he had something else to say, but the nurse slid past his side, turned a corner, and left.

He stood by the door and waited for nearly half an hour. Finally, two nurses wheeled Rachel to the ward. Bill was about to follow them when the doctor pulled him back by the arm. He pointed to the side and took off his mask. "Come here. I have to tell you something."
