Chapter 46 The Aggravated Condition

After Jack apologized, Rachel became quiet because of astonishment. All she did was follow Jack. When he walked towards another restaurant, she was surprised and immediately asked him, "Are you still hungry?"

"No, I'm not. I'll just buy one to try their food."

Saying nothing more, she watched Jack go in.

Rachel did not wait for long. Just a few minutes after, Jack came out. Then, he walked to the next one. She was now confused when she saw him ready to enter the restaurant. "Jack, isn't that meal in your hand not enough yet? Are you going to buy something from all the food shops?"

This time, Rachel hit the nailed right. Jack explained that he only planned to buy something from the restaurants which were packed tonight. He wanted his men to have a taste of their specialties.

After Jack explained, Rachel was speechless. Mouth twitching, she asked again, "Is it really necessary?"

Not wanting to explain further, Jack didn't answer anymore. Instead, he continued to walk. He didn't choose noodles as noodles would lose their flavor after a while.

He only chose pasties, braised meat and something that wouldn't lose its flavor in a period of time.

As Rachel accompanied Jack silently, she already understood his reason for his actions.

Though Jack wasn't aware that such a food street existed, he was familiar with all the food sold here. After all, they were all traditional food, and Jack knew them.

What he was doing was not strange at all. There were people like him. But

hel curled up in the chair. With closed eyes, she answered, "Okay..."

After the water boiled, Rachel prepared her glass of warm water. Then, she drank her medicine. She stayed for a while in the living room before going to bed.

She seldom got sick. Since she was used to take care of others, she thought she could take care of herself as well. She was sure her fever would be gone in the morning.

However, at midnight, Rachel woke up to feel her throat very dry. And, when she swallowed, it was a bit painful.

Stretching her hand to get the water on the bedside table, she felt somebody grasp her hand.

Shocked, she opened her eyes in a daze. Then, she saw a familiar face in front of her.

With a stern look on his handsome face, he didn't look nice. Holding her hand, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Rachel said, "Water..."

Letting go of her hand, the man stood up to pour a glass of water for her.

A minute after, he returned and gently lifted her up. Then, he raised the glass to her lips.

Carefully assisting Rachel, he saw her took a sip.

After quenching her thirst, she slightly pushed the glass away. Rachel didn't drink much.

After putting the glass aside, the man whispered, "I'll take you to the hospital."

However, Rachel shook her head and refused. She just said something, which for sure she wouldn't remember in the morning.

At last, she fell asleep.

The next day, Eric got up early because he was worried about Rachel. He cleaned up right after sunrise.
