Chapter 283 Holley's Guilty Conscience

Holley didn't reply back. She tore up the dosage list, tossed it into the trash bin, printed another copy and handed it to the head nurse. She kept silent the entire time and had an expressionless face.

"Don't be so cocky! You arrogant woman!"

the head nurse whispered to herself after leaving the office. She then handed the new prescription to another nurse.

Holley turned away and involuntarily bit her lips once more.

She could have pretended like nothing happened even with Rachel's attitude towards her.

She told herself that only the two of them knew about what really happened.

But Holley found it impossible to calm herself down as she imagined the letter taped to her door.

Meanwhile, Rachel got out of the car and watched as Jack got out too. "You don't have to get out of the car. I can get inside by myself," she said.

Jack smiled. "I want to accompany you to your office."

Rachel looked at him in the eye and said, "But you know, you don't need to do that."

But she instinctively placed her hand on Jack's open palm when he reached out for her.

After Jack accompanied her inside, she paused and watched him leave. She then turned to take her gown on a hanger. She was slightly surprised to see that Holley stood in front of her.

"Rachel, can I have a word with you?" Holley wanted to talk to Rachel and find out whether she was merely pretending that she knew nothing.

Rachel put on her gown in a fluid motion. She then turned to Holley briefly. "Now is the time to be on duty," she said flatly.

The way she said her words clearly implied that it was not a convenient time for her to talk.

There was a sudden feeling of keen disgust towards Holley that overcame Rachel. It was so strong that she didn't even want to look at her.

"It's

uched her arm afterwards.

Holley gripped her arm so tightly that her skin broke. Although she had already treated the wound, she still felt a little pain.

Rachel thought that Holley acted like a lunatic earlier. She couldn't understand what Holley was talking about. Unfortunately, Holley never gave her the chance to ask questions to clarify the matter.

While they waited for the red light to change, Jack reached out his hand to Rachel and gently caressed her head. "Don't think about it too much. If she really wants to clarify things to you at a later time, then she will definitely look for you again to speak to you."

That evening, Jack held Rachel tightly as soon as she got out of the bathroom. He then escorted her to the bed while he held her in his arms. "We haven't had sex for a long time, right?"

His question did not come as a shock, but she didn't know how to answer it.

Rachel slightly pushed him away as her eyes flashed with schoolgirl shyness.

Jack felt stunned as he looked at her. "I love you." He then bent his head down and gently pressed his lips to hers.

Rachel moaned gently at Jack's kiss.

"What's wrong?"

Jack stopped what he was doing to check Rachel's arm. He discovered that part of her skin was peeled off.

"How did you injure your arm?" He immediately lifted the quilt to get out of bed and get the medicine box.

But before he could leave the bed, Rachel tapped his shoulder to stop him. "Don't worry. I've already taken care of it at the hospital.

Holley was so agitated earlier when she spoke."

'It was Holley again!' Jack thought to himself in fury.

A sharp flash of cruelty streaked across his eyes, but it disappeared almost as soon as it appeared. He stared tenderly at Rachel but felt so distressed and worried.
