Chapter 98 Getting Closer

'I think too much?'

Lea didn't think so. She could tell Jack was really angry when he spoke to Lucas.

Actually, she was angry as well. Lucas just left Rachel there and didn't say anything to comfort her. All he wanted was to rush to the Ying family's villa. There seemed to be some hidden meaning in Rachel's words.

'Lucas is worried about someone? Could it be Claris?'

Just as Lea was about to ask, Rachel leaned back, looking tired, with her beautiful eyebrows knitted together slightly. Lea looked at her and noticed that her forehead was oozing sweat.

Feeling concerned about her, Lea leaned over and nervously asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling pain?"

Rachel didn't want Lea to worry about her, so she forced herself to cheer up and tried to reassure her, "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm just a little tired."

"How could I possibly not be worried?" Lea felt very worried. "Look at you. Your face is as pale as a ghost. If you feel uncomfortable, please just tell me. I'm here with you."

Having said that, she turned to look at Jack and said bluntly, without trying to be polite, "Mr. Fu, can you manage it?"

Her words were bewildering to the other two people in the car.

Lea paused for a moment, and realized they might not have understood what she meant. "Can you take good care of her tonight? Perhaps I should stay there."

With his face looking relaxed and the corners of his good-lookin

ring a word, Jack went downstairs and fetched the stool.

He remembered the stool very well. It was the one that Mendes used to sit on when he came there.

When he came back with the stool, he felt confused. "Why do you need a stool?"

Rachel's ear went red, but she tried to stay calm. She took the stool from Jack and said, "It's necessary."

Before Jack could respond, Rachel hurried away with the low stool.

Ignoring Jack's lingering gaze, Rachel entered the bathroom and closed the door.

Jack just saw her limping away in a rush before he understood what was going on.

She disappeared as swiftly as a burglar.

Standing still for a moment, he was confused about what that could possibly mean. After a moment of thought, he suddenly understood.

The stool... Her foot...

Only then did he realize what the stool was for. How dull he was!

His handsome face blushed with embarrassment. He walked to Rachel's room and hesitated at the door, then finally raised his hand to knock.

It took Rachel a long time to finish everything she need to do in the bathroom. She walked around the bathroom and hesitated for a long moment. She looked at her swollen foot and remembered that the medicine from the hospital was still on the living room table.

She was still hesitating whether to open the door and get the medicine right away, or wait here until Jack was asleep.

But at that moment, Jack knocked on her door.
