After getting the medicine and a glass of water from the table, Rachel turned around. But she wasn't expecting that Jack was staring at her. She was so startled that she almost dropped the glass in her hand.
"You scared me."
Jack had no idea what he had done. "What's wrong?" he asked with a blank face.
"Nothing," Rachel replied in a low voice. She held the glass in her hand steadily and put it on the bedside table.
Jack took the medicine from her hand and swallowed it.
It was nearly eleven o'clock.
Actually, Jack wasn't really seriously ill. He didn't need someone to take care of him overnight. But Rachel was still upset so he didn't want to let her go.
After making sure that he had taken his medicine, Rachel looked at her watch. She thought it was time to say goodbye.
However, before she could say anything, Jack suddenly said, "It's late. Why don't you just stay here?"
Rachel froze for a moment.
"I'm alone here. No one will help me especially if I need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night." Jack tried to persuade her to stay.
"Why can't you go to the toilet by yourself? You didn't have a surgery or something," Rachel retorted emotionlessly.
Jack was silent for a moment. Then he said, "I mean, I need a companion."
Rachel's mouth twisted in a contemptuous smile. This man in front of her was really thick-skinned. She looked at him and asked, "Would you like me to accompany you to the toilet?"
The corner of his mouth lifted into a pl
ack noticed that they were looking at her in a differently way, he immediately introduced her to them, "This is my wife, Rachel Shen."
Rachel felt like a monkey being surrounded by the crowd. So when they left, she couldn't help joshing, "I feel like a rare animal. Everyone looks at me strangely."
"Of course, you are rare because you are a precious treasure that I have been wanting to have," Jack replied with a smile.
Rachel was totally taken aback by his sudden sweet words. She couldn't help blushing as she pushed him away.
Had Jack forgotten that his assistant was still inside the room? She felt really embarrassed.
"Sweetie, just wait for me to finish this report." Jack winked at her.
The assistant had probably felt awkward to remain in the room so he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fu, I'll go out for now. Please excuse me."
Jack and Rachel's wedding was a very quiet, low-key affair so no one knew that Jack had gotten married.
That was why they were surprised to know that his wife was taking care of him in the hospital.
What was more, they found out that Rachel was not his former girlfriend.
All of a sudden, they all got curious about who Rachel was. Although they might have met her before, they still knew nothing about her.
Although Jack was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told him that he must take good care of himself from now on.
When Rachel found out about it, she got flustered.
This stomach illness was definitely troublesome.
