Stuck in you novel Chapter 19

Recalling that Celine brought him soup a few days ago, Eric was on the verge of breaking down. He had said that he had the courage to compete fairly with Jack. However, after Jack dropped by his ward just now, he was thoroughly crushed. Jack coldly warned him against pursuing Celine.

Eric stuttered, "He...must be joking, huh? He's...your husband."

Curling her lips, Rachel said, "You have seen his cruelty several times. Do you think he will let you go just because you're my brother? Just stop it, Eric! Don't make trouble for me anymore. If you something bad happens to you, I have to commit suicide to apologize to our parents!"

Eric's face turned pale. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Rachel... I'm sorry."

Again, Rachel patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have a good rest. I'm going back to work now."

"Okay," replied Eric weakly.

Since the hospital's door panel was thin, the room wasn't soundproof. Jack, who was standing outside, heard clearly their conversation.

In fact, Jack didn't take Eric seriously. And, Rachel was right. For them, Eric was just a tool Celine used to irritate him. Eric was never really a threat.

However, Jack didn't know what was wrong with him today. In a spur of the moment, he just decided to come here and warned Eric to stop pestering Celine.

In the end, he attributed it to lack of sleep and dizziness. Subconsciously, Jack touched the cigarette pack and felt the urge to smoke to cheer himself up.

At that moment, Rachel came out from the ward. Seeing that he was going to smoke, she kindly reminded him, "Hey! Remember, you can't smoke here."

Pausing a bit, he returned the cigarette pack back in his pocket. Looking at Rachel for a moment, he suddenly bent forward and whispered with a small smile, "Am I famous for being cruel? Why didn't I know about it?"

A little embarrassed, Rachel lowered her head. She knew Jack heard everything.

Because Eric was still young and inexperienced, it was easy for her to deceive him.

Admitting that she spoke ill of Jack inside the ward, Rachel cleared her throat and said, "Let's talk over there."

Having no objection, Jack followed. Though he didn't have anything to say anymore, he wanted to hear what she would say.

Not long after, Jack's phone rang loudly in the empty corridor.

It kept ringing since Jack didn't answer it.

Rachel just didn't want Eric to hear whatever she would say. But in reality, she didn't have anything to tell Jack.

As she was about to find an excuse to say goodbye, Jack suddenly grabbed her hand. He immediately put something cold into her hand.

Looking at her hand, she was stunned and didn't know how to react. Then, Jack said, "I already granted your request. Shouldn't you do something in return?"

His phone screen was displaying Celine's name. Confused, Rachel looked at him.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jack's face. As briefly as he could, he explained, "As you said that day, she needs a little stimulation."

Enlightened, Rachel smiled. Putting her free hand inside her pocket, she answered the phone. "Hello."

At the other end of the line, Celine was stunned for a moment. She thought she dialed a wrong number and checked her phone screen carefully. When she saw that the number was right, she replied angrily, "Who are you? Why do you have Jack's phone?"

Looking at the plain tiles at her feet, Rachel smiled again. She slowly replied, "It's Rachel, Miss Duan. What can I do for you?"

Suddenly, Rachel heard a glass breaking in the background, followed by Celine's sharp but slightly quivering voice, "Where is Jack? Why did you answer his phone? What are you two doing?"

Instinctively, Rachel turned to glance at Jack, who walked with her leisurely and seemed not to listen to their conversation.

They passed by the window; the sun's rays shone brightly on his handsome face. It was dazzling, but there was no appreciation of its beauty in his eyes.

The man Celine loved was so cunning. There was no way she could be a match for him. But it seemed that Jack still couldn't make her completely fall for him. It was a bit unbelievable.

Personally, Rachel thought that it wasn't right for Jack to do this. No matter what, she was his nominal wife, and Celine was his woman. He shouldn't have let Rachel answer the call.

Though they both knew his real purpose of asking his nominal wife to talk to his mistress, Rachel found it ridiculous to make two women fight for a man. He should solve his problem on his own.

'He is asking his wife to help him woo his mistress. How absurd!' Rachel thought.
