With a faint smile, Rachel said, "This is the seal Eric had carved for me when he went on a trip."
Memories flooded her and made her smile wider. Gently rubbing the seal, she continued, "I used to think that he was too old-fashioned. I didn't expect that this would become my only connection with him."
"It's okay. You will find more things to connect with him in the future." Jack let her lean her head on his shoulder. "There are more than ten hours left. You should sleep first."
Rachel did not feel sleepy at the time, but she knew that Jack would only grow more worried if she refused to take a rest.
His face looked haggard from tiredness and a profound sadness. Rachel knew that it was all on her account.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her without him by her side. She didn't know what to do.
In the hospital, Eric was lying in the bed and staring at the ceiling, his face devoid of expression.
The psychologist sat by his bedside and said something to him in a low voice, but Eric did not show any reaction. Frustration crept into the psychologist's expression.
He glanced at Eric's empty expression and shook his head slightly. He was about to rise from his seat when a pregnant woman entered the room. He started to tell her that she must have entered the wrong room, but the words were stuck in his throat when Jack followed her into the room.
Looking at E
be rented out and a cleaner for hire usually went there to clean up, a tenant could move in at any time. Rachel was really worried about him living at home alone.
She was afraid that he would think too much once left on his own and end up being unable to get out again.
Eric knew what Rachel meant, so he stopped walking. As they approached him slowly, he put his hand on Jack's shoulder and opened his mouth to speak.
At that time, a police car with sirens suddenly stopped in front of them.
Two policemen in uniform got out of the car. Almost completely in sync, they flashed their ID badges. The taller of the two said in a deep voice, "You are Jack Fu, correct? You are under suspicion in relation to a drug trafficking case. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."
'Drug trafficking?'
Rachel's face suddenly turned pale. She urgently asked, "What drug trafficking case? You must be mistaken. Jack has never done such a thing."
The other policeman smiled politely and said, "We also hope that the direction of our investigation is wrong. After all, we are well aware of Mr. Fu's important role in the business field. However, if Mr. Fu were actually involved in the case, it would set a bad example for the people of Ninwell City."
The policeman turned and opened the back door of the police car, and his face became serious. "Mr. Jack Fu, get in the car."
