Chapter 298 Her Heart Hurts

Jack nodded back. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He had already done so much for the sake of their previous relationship.

But they should accept that it would be better if they ended their friendship.

He took a piece of tissue to wipe his hands with. "Rest well. I need to go back now. Call me if anything happens."

He turned around and was about to leave, but Celine reached out and grabbed his suit. She held on to it tightly as she stared straight into his eyes. "Don't go," she said in a coarse voice.

Beads of tears started to flow down from her eyes and down to her pillow.

He hesitated for a while as he looked at her. At length, he finally took her hand and placed it back in the quilt. "The nurses are just outside. Call them if you need anything," he said in a calm tone of voice.

"I feel scared when you're not here.

But if you really have to leave, can I go with you? I don't want to be left here all alone."

Celine gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up. The intravenous needle connected to her arm was moved at an irregular angle and her blood started to flow into the tubing.

Jack felt that he had no choice but to pull up a chair and sit down next to her bed. "Go to sleep. I will not leave," he said.

'Rachel must be asleep already,' he thought to himself.

The two never noticed that just outside the ward, a man proudly put away his mobile phone and left the hospital with a brief smile on his lips and a spring in his steps.

He had had a stomach problem and gone to the hospital to have himself treated.

He never expected to see Jack with Celine in his arms as he hurried to get in.

At Rachel's apartment

It was already late but she remained sitting on the sofa. She barely moved from her initial posi

more Eric thought about it, the angrier he became. He had a habit of browsing the web before going to work. But he never expected to see the latest news about Jack.

Eric remembered how Jack promised that he would spend the rest of his life with Rachel.

'How long has it been now?' Eric thought angrily.

He took off the work card on his neck and tapped the shoulder of the colleague who came to him for help. "I have something that I need to take care of outside urgently!"

Now that he was a grown man, he felt that it was his turn to help Rachel who had always cleaned up his mess in the past.

He decided that he had to confront Jack face to face about this matter.

Jack had blood transfusion the night before and had felt weak and tired the whole night. He didn't know when he fell asleep on the edge of the bed. He woke up when Eric started pulling at his collar. Otherwise he would've slept a few hours more.

"Eric, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

"You should be grateful that I don't beat you right now!" Eric felt bolder because he wanted to get even with Jack in Rachel's behalf.

"What are you doing here? What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

Jack quickly brushed off Eric's hand away and straightened his collar. He looked dazed and confused.

Eric pointed at his nose and sneered at Jack. He looked extremely irritated. "So, what's wrong with the woman in bed, Jack?"

It was not until he heard Eric's question that he realized that he was still in the ward. Celine quietly watched them with wide open eyes.

"Why are you even still here?" Eric added, not giving Jack a chance to respond.

Eric opened the latest news on his mobile phone and threw it to Jack. "Many people will sure to come here and look for you later. There, read it for yourself!"
