Stuck in you

While Marcus and Jack were talking at the door, Rachel came to check why the latter hadn't returned to the living room yet. She was a little surprised to see Marcus, but Jack held her arm and said, "Since Marcus is here, we'd better get going. It's time to go back to work."

She noticed the confusion in Marcus' eyes, so she smiled and said, "We just dropped by to visit Celia. She's asleep now."

"Okay."

Marcus nodded slightly and watched them leave. His handsome face suddenly frowned as a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Jack and Rachel arrived at the hospital. When he parked the car at the gate, he said in a low voice, "Austin just sent a message."

While unfastening her seat belt, she asked, "What did he say?"

"Bertha is in the hospital now because of some bruises on her forehead. I don't think it's a big problem."

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. But before she could start to feel happy, Jack continued, "But according to Austin, Dylan was very angry for what happened. He lost his temper in the hospital and swore to take Celia back and teach her a lesson."

Dylan was an egotistical male chauvinist. Putting aside his relationship with Bertha, Celia had challenged his authority as the head of the family by refusing a blind date.

And now that she hurt Bertha, who he believed had contributed a lot to their family, it was expected that he wouldn't let go of her that easy.

Feeling distraught, Rachel looked up at Jack and asked, "What should we do?"

Jack patted her head and replied in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I'll deal with it. You don't need to do anything, but think more about me."

'This man...'

She was rendered speechless as she glanced at him. But the feeling of sweetness still wrapped her heart.

He watched her get out of the car and enter the hospital. When she was gone, he picked up his phone and called Austin. He said coldly, "Warn Dylan. If he continues to mess around, he will never be able to stay in the city anymore. Just give him a verbal warning for now. Don't beat him."

"Yes, Mr. Fu,"

Austin's deep voice was heard from the other end of the line before he hung up.

Jack started the car again and drove to the company. But he was just about one kilometer away from the hospital when his phone, which he threw at the passenger seat, rang again.

He maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and picked up his phone with the other. While driving slowly, he answered it, "Yes?"

Marcus answered in a low voice, "Is it okay if you transfer some money to my account now? All my bank accounts and credit cards were frozen."
