The woman's hoarse, trembling voice echoed in Rachel's ears. She sounded like she was on the verge of breaking down.
The man stepped back in frustration, lowered his head, and remained silent, while Sheila stepped closer to her mother, looking deathly pale.
Rachel was at a loss for what to do next.
Fortunately, her leader had entered the room just in time to hear those hysterical questions from the woman, which had clearly revealed that the reason for the dispute was personal affairs and money.
Since it was not a medical dispute, it could be solved easily.
Rachel's leader winked at her, hinting that she was free to go.
Understanding his gesture at once, Rachel prepared to leave the room.
However, she had barely taken a step forward when Sheila nervously pulled at her sleeve.
Rachel glanced sideways at Sheila, who was staring at the woman with fear.
Swallowing hard, Sheila leaned over to Rachel and whispered in her ear, "Doctor, I think this woman has mental problems..."
Her voice was shaky with panic. As she spoke, she stole a glimpse at the woman, who made eye contact with her, causing her to tremble in fear.
Rachel pursed her lips in confusion. Who was wrong in this situation?
Anyway, it was clear that there were a lot of unstable emotions and unresolved problems in the room.
Rachel patted Sheila's hand and whispered in a comforting voice, "She's just a little emotional. I'll call security. Meanwhile
n they reached the car, Jack opened the door and then looked back at Rachel with a frown. "I forgot to buy the child seat."
"Oh. Well, we can buy one now."
"Is there any shop here?"
Rachel was about to say that there were many stores around the hospital that they could buy a child seat from, but before she could,
Jack looked at his watch and continued, "Well, I won't take him back tonight then.
It's already late now. By the time we reach home, it'll be time for Dad to go to bed."
If they started now, they would only reach the Fu family's house at 9 p.m., which was bedtime for elderly people.
Thinking about this, Rachel hesitated for a moment and glanced at Mendes. "So..."
"Are my things still in your house?" Jack asked suddenly.
Rachel nodded. "Yes, I haven't packed them up yet." It was only a few days since Jack had moved out, so she hadn't touched any of his things.
"Good, we can stay at your house tonight then. I'll go back tomorrow. Is that okay?" Jack said abruptly.
Stunned, Rachel stared at Jack for a moment and then asked,
"You're going to my house tonight?"
"Yes." Pretending not to see the embarrassment on Rachel's face, Jack opened the car door for her. "Get in."
Rachel complied and got into the car, not noticing the faint smile on Jack's lips.
He had planned to stay away from her so that he could sort out his feelings first, but he couldn't resist finding excuses to spend time with her.
