Trapped In Lace

The woman was Iris.

Yesterday afternoon, Lucas had received a call from one of Iris' colleagues. He was told that she had fainted because of a high fever. When she woke up, she refused to go to the hospital and even insisted that they take her home.

Lucas was so worried about her that he asked Rachel to come with him, given that if he showed up, Iris wouldn't even bother looking at him.

"I remember when Lucas..." Iris paused and smiled. "Forget it. I'll just treat you to a meal to thank you."

Rachel waved her hand. "It's really no problem."

She took out some medicine from her bag and placed it on the bedside table. "I've prescribed some medicine for you. Remember to take it half an hour after you finish your porridge."

Iris struggled to sit up. "How much is it? I'll give you the money."

Placing a hand on her shoulder, Rachel shook her head. "It's deducted from my medical card. I didn't pay for it,"

she said, glancing at her watch. "It's late. I have to go now. Get some rest, okay?"

"Be careful on your way back," Isis called out in gratitude.

Lucas had been sitting in the car this entire time. When he saw Rachel come out, the first thing he said was, "Is she feeling better?"

It wasn't a secret that Rachel was married, so she might not be able to go. The director nodded. "Yes, this is a good opportunity.

Do think it over. Give me your reply in two days."

She nodded stiffly. One year of training meant that she needed to leave Jack for one year.

If this was given to her a week ago, she would've refused without hesitation. However, she found herself hesitating now.

Patting her on the shoulder, Lucas said, "You haven't been in a good mood these past two days.

Don't pressure yourself.

Sometimes, it's best to just talk it out."

Without another word, he left.

'Maybe he's right. Do we need to just talk over this calmly?

Should I give him another chance?'

She called, "You'll leave her then?"

"She'll have a better life without me!"

he sighed. Maybe he should let her go and let himself go.

Returning to her office, Rachel pulled out her already charged phone, clicked Jack's name out of the blacklist, and called him.

As soon as his phone rang, Jack waved his hand to shut the supervisor up as he stared at his phone in disbelief.

'Rachel is calling me!'
