Josh Batton, Gary Lakes, and Henry Armstrong ran into the nursery and approached Sebastian Brenand and Rachel Wood in a panic.
“My brother told me you caused a scene at your parents’ house. Did you really cut off ties with them? Let me know if you need any help in the future,” Josh said.
“You can also come to me if you need any help. In fact, you should come to me first,” Gary spoke up.
“No, you should come to me first,” Henry said.
Everyone had genuine looks of concern in their eyes.
Sebastian and Rachel felt warm in their hearts upon hearing what they said.
Gary seemed a little taken aback when he saw Rachel covered in wounds.
“How do you feel now?” he immediately asked.
He used to have a slight crush on Rachel before she ended up with Sebastian. He even thought about pursuing her when they had split up some time ago, but he put an end to his crazy thoughts out of consideration for Sebastian’s feelings.
As time went on, his feelings for Rachel gradually waned but not vanished completely.
He still felt uneasy at the sight of her covered in wounds.
He couldn’t stay calm when he recalled what Stanley had told him about her experiences in the mountains.
Never mind the fact that Rachel was someone he used to love, but he wouldn't be calm even if she was a stranger, either.
Rachel smiled. “Yeah, I feel much better. Don’t worry about me.”
“Does it still hurt?” he asked.
