Eric was in a good mood and left for the porridge shop. On his arrival, he was happy to see that only a few people were gathered there. He didn't have to stand in long queues to get what he wanted. With a big smile, he requested for two boxes, one for him and another for Rachel.
As soon as he stepped outside, the morning sun began to shine on his face.
It was indeed a beautiful sight! It had been a while since Eric had seen such a breath taking view. Plunging into his pocket, he took out his cell phone. He managed to click a dozen shots of the view.
After going through them, he selected the best one and posted it on his social media account. "Long time no see, the rising sun!" he captioned with some satisfaction. He trotted about in a lifted spirited. At the moment, his happiness was so strong, that nothing could disturb his mood.
Humming a song, Eric strolled towards Rachel's community. When he entered, he noticed a strange car downstairs in the garage.
When he reached the second floor, he couldn't open the door of Rachel's house. Beginning to panic, he started to rummage through his pockets. He desperately searched for the keys but to no avail. All he could find was his wallet and cell phone. Eric patted his thigh remorsefully. He had left the keys at home.
Eric couldn't open the door so he decided to ring her.
In the bedroom, the curtain was closed tightly and the sunlight couldn't penetrate in at all. The big and soft bed made Rachel sleep soundly. Her phone rang and vibrated beside the bed. However, she was in deep slumber and didn't hear the ring.
Her face was glued to the soft pillow. She was tired and her breathing was somewhat heavy. It was obvious that her condit
sick Rachel must have been. Suddenly, a thought struck him. Instantly, he put those greasy food aside.
After a while, Jack got dressed and came out of the bathroom. He looked down and continued to fix his cuff.
Eric sat straight with a scornful look on his face. In his eyes, Jack was just a playboy.
But the truth was, Jack wasn't as bad as Eric thought. After straightening his clothes, he picked up the coat on the table and said indifferently, "I'll ask someone to bring some light breakfast for her. Once it arrives, wake her up to eat. Those things..."
His fingers went to the package that was lying beside Eric. It consisted of stuffed and deep-fried items. A flash of disgust appeared in his eyes. "Just throw them away. If you let her eat them, her condition will only get worse," he warned.
When Eric saw the disdain in Jack's eyes, he almost jumped up from his chair! 'What's wrong with the food I bought! How dare he ask me to throw them away!'
At last, before he left, Jack added, "If she's still sick, take her to the hospital. I'll call back later so that you can update me."
Everything that came out of Jack's mouth made Eric want to roar like a lion. There was a part of him that wanted to tell Jack it was none of his business. He wanted to cast a cold glance at him and snort with disdain.
His heart was brimming with vicious emotions, but he didn't dare to say anything. All he did was sit like a statue.
In his face, there was no expression. He didn't make any move that made Jack believe he would defy his orders.
However, Jack was not going to leave before he got a reply. With his scrutinizing eyes, he glared at Eric. Using a patient tone, he asked, "Do you hear me?"
