Tears streamed down Tracy's face silently.
At those words, Jack's original calm morphed into agitation. The blue veins on his forehead popped menacingly. He stood up and spat out through gritted teeth, "Don't disturb her!"
"But you can't keep on being like this!" Tracy burst out in a heartbroken voice.
"Leave me alone." Without saying another word, Jack turned around and left.
Hearing the sound of the motor outside, Tracy collapsed, weeping on Jonathan's shoulder.
The wedding decorations remained stuck on the door and windows, still looking dazzling even though they should have already been removed long before.
Jonathan snorted and yelled at the workers in the yard, "Why haven't you cleared these up yet?"
The two workers compiling dead branches trembled unconsciously. They rushed forward and tore off all of the wedding stickers on the windows.
In the hospital, Bill was standing outside the emergency room. The door was firmly closed, but he still tried to see what was going on inside.
Half an hour had passed, but the door still did not budge.
Finally, the door opened, and a nurse walked out. Bill reached out his hand to stop her. "How is she?"
"Which patient? Sir, there are so many people in the emergency room. How do I know which patient you are referring to?" the nurse said impatiently.
"Rachel Shen," he quickly supplied. "How is she doing?"
The nurse frowned as she tried to recall the patient's information and then said, "Ah, there's nothing wrong with her. She only fain
down, and said softly, "I told you to rest. Let me do these things for you, okay?"
At the sight of Bill so beside himself with worry, Rachel didn't know whether she would laugh or cry. "Bill, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me."
She had hypoglycemia because she hadn't been sleeping well those days. Moreover, she had no appetite, so she didn't force herself to eat anything.
She thought that those oversights were minor. She didn't think that she would be so week.
While packing, Bill took out an orange and handed it to her. "Have one first."
Rachel nibbled on a few segments and felt much better. Under her long drooping eyelashes, her deep eyes glimmered like black crystals. After some thought, she said, "Bill, you really don't have to accompany me here. You also need to take care of Andy. You..."
Before she could finish her words, Bill interrupted her, "Don't worry. I've found another caregiver to take care of Andy 24/7. I'm relieved of caregiver duties for now."
As he spoke, he packed up Rachel's things in a small luggage bag.
Bill lifted the luggage bag and placed his hand on Rachel's shoulder. In a soft, warm voice, he said, "Wait for me by the lobby. I'll get the car and pick you up there."
"I can go with you to the parking area. You don't have to drive back there."
"It's no trouble," Bill assured her.
As the two of them exchanged words back and forth, an unexpected voice suddenly interrupted them. They looked up and saw Jonathan and Tracy standing across the corridor.
