Jack nodded. "Okay, I'll take care of her."
The old doctor tied the bandage after wrapping it around Rachel's ankle. He stood up and smiled at them. "I'm happy that you brought your boyfriend here, Rachel."
'Boyfriend?'
Rachel's face began heating up. Shyly, she smiled and nodded her head awkwardly. She wondered what Jack was feeling. Casting a glance at him, she found that he acted as calm as ever.
After the doctor had finished giving them instructions, Rachel and Jack thanked him. As the pair walked out, Jack bent down to carry her in his arms.
Rachel blushed and hid her face in his arms. "Jack, could you please stop hugging me like that? I feel embarrassed."
He raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. "But the doctor told me to take care of you. This is my way of making sure that you're okay."
"He meant that I shouldn't exhaust my feet. He didn't mean that you should coddle me like a child!"
Jack retorted defensively, "Hey, I just want to help you! Don't get mad at me!"
She opened her mouth to refute, but failed to come up with a good come-back. Jack smirked as her face slowly reddened.

"But I heard that he has a girlfriend."
"I've seen his girlfriend before. But his girlfriend isn't that woman!"
Inside the office, Jack put Rachel down and said, "Just sit here today and stop making trouble."
Rachel blushed with anger. "I'm not making any trouble. I want to leave."
He glanced at her coldly, full of disdain. "What is so important that you have to leave? Tell me!"
She was speechless for a moment. "Something urgent..."
"What's so urgent?" Jack was determined to pursue the matter until he had an answer. His dark eyes observed the expression on her face and slightly narrowed his eyes. He wanted to find clues about where she was going to go.
Rachel didn't know how to explain why she had to leave in a hurry, because she actually had nothing important to do at the moment. She just wanted to leave the office.
But there was only one thing. It was something that had happened just now.
He grabbed her by the waist and encircled his arms around her. He looked down at her and rudely spat, "Perhaps, it was because of what had happened just now..."
