Trapped In Lace

Upon hearing this, Bill blushed.

As his family butler, Andy had been with him since his childhood, so he knew everything that Andy was thinking.

Rachel just stared ahead without giving much thought to his words. She swallowed the apple in her mouth and joked, "Andy, it's better not to be so lucky. It's ominous to meet in the hospital every time."

"That's true," Andy agreed.

Then, he patted Bill's arm and said, "When you leave the hospital, you can take Rachel out for a meal and develop your relationship outside the hospital."

When Rachel heard this, the bite of apple she had just taken became stuck in her throat.

She abruptly excused herself and walked out of the ward. 'Andy is too straightforward,' she grumbled to herself.

In the ward, Bill looked at Andy helplessly. "See, you always say such useless things!"

"Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? Rachel is single now. Spending time with her would be a good change for you.

Besides, time waits for no man. Bill, do you need me to remind you of this?"

A trace of loneliness flashed through Bill's eyes. He looked down at the back of his hand, which had a needle in it. "How could I not know? It's just that my health condition... Well, forget it."

Rachel was sitting in the lounge with a book in her hands, but it was more like a prop; she hadn't been able to read a single word. She would be stupid not to understand the meaning of Andy's words.

However, her heart was like a pool of stagnant water. She felt nothing for Bill.

In the blink of an eye, the scorching summer came back again.

Even though Rachel h

ow about I treat you to a meal to thank you?" Only in front of Lucas and Lea could Rachel be lively.

Lucas looked at his watch and waved his hand. "I don't have time today, but you can treat me another day."

Then, he took over Rachel's suitcase and led the way forward. "Let's go. I'll take you there."

"Do you have plans tonight?" Rachel asked casually.

Lucas nodded. "I'm going out with Iris for dinner. Would you like to come along?"

Shaking her head with a smile, Rachel said, "Never mind, I don't want to be the third wheel."

After entering the apartment, Rachel said goodbye to Lucas.

Since the apartment had already been cleaned, all she needed to do was unpack her things. Then, she went to the supermarket to buy some groceries.

With the shopping list in her hand, Rachel spent more than an hour in the supermarket. When she finally walked out with the shopping bags in her hands, she raised her head and stopped in her tracks.

Before coming here, she had noticed that the sky looked a bit gloomy and checked the weather forecast on her phone. But the weather forecast had said that it wouldn't rain, so she hadn't brought an umbrella with her.

But right now, rain was pouring down.

She waited at the door for a while, but the rain didn't seem to slow down at all.

It seemed that she would need to go back into the supermarket to buy an umbrella.

Sighing, she turned around to walk to the locker so that she could put her shopping bags in there. Just then, she heard someone calling her name from behind. She turned around and widened her eyes in surprise. "Why are you here?"
