Chapter 99 A Car Accident

The knock on the door seemed to have an impact in her heart. Rachel hesitated for a moment, but eventually limped to the door and open it.

Jack had already cleaned himself and changed his clothes. However, the scratches on his handsome face were still visible. He was holding a glass of water in one hand and some medicines in the other.

His eyes rested on her beautiful face first before they moved down to her sprained ankle. He then frowned.

"Just sit there. Why do you keep on moving around?" he scolded, his brow furrowed. Rachel was a little confused why Jack had suddenly scolded her.

"If I won't move, then how can I open the door?" she retorted innocently.

She then stepped aside so he could come in.

"Then why do you have to lock your door?" asked Jack again.

'Because I'm wary of you,' Rachel wanted to say. However, she chose to keep it to herself. She moved towards the table slowly to avoid his gaze but Jack suddenly stopped her.

"I said, don't move!" Jack's voice raised a little so Rachel was stunned. But before she could say anything, he suddenly lifted her up.

Afraid that she might fall, she automatically wrapped her arms around his neck. She was too embarrassed so she shouted at him angrily, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

Jack squinted at her and said, "You are so stubborn so you only deserve this."

Rachel was so angry that she kept on struggling from his arm. She tried to hide her flushed cheeks from him.

Looking at her blushing face, Jack's lips curved into a playful smile. He then threat

ly. That's it. You have nothing to worry about. Don't take this matter seriously," he added.

"I am not taking this matter seriously," Rachel denied, a little embarrassed. She blushed so she turned her head and looked away. "I'm sorry. I will never mention her name in front of you again."

"Then why are you angry? I don't mean to blame you," Jack said. "I just want to make it clear to you, in case you are thinking that I was forced to break up with her. I'll go out now. Have a good rest."

When Jack was gone, Rachel lay in the bed. She felt better that her ankle was wrapped with bandage. The pain had dissipated.

The expressions in Jack's eyes and the way he spoke earlier lingered in her mind. She could see his face every time she closed her eyes and her heart beat faster.

Rachel tried to calm down and covered herself with the quilt so she could fall asleep. However, she didn't expect that she would have some strange dreams.

In her dream, she was running nonstop around the burning villa. The thick smoke was suffocating her and she was almost out of breath. She wanted to ask for help but she was left alone in the whole building and the door was locked.

When she was already on the verge of death, her dream changed. It went to the day that her parents had a car accident.

It was drizzling and she was trapped in a very narrow space. She was watching the drizzle fearfully. It was so dark and since the space was too small, she couldn't even move. A pungent smell of blood hit her nose. Her parents were not moving anymore.
