Trapped In Lace

"I'm sorry, I was driving too fast. How about I take him to the hospital for treatment right away?" Henry said.

"It's not your fault. We weren't paying enough attention," Lucas said as he carefully examined Mendes' other leg as well.

Rachel wiped Mendes' tears away with a tissue.

Seeing this, Marcus couldn't help but think that they looked like a couple. He glanced back and forth between them with suspicion in his eyes.

Mendes' other leg seemed to be all right. Normally, with a fall like this, one wouldn't have bruises anywhere other than their head and four limbs.

However, Rachel was worried about Mendes' broken left arm, which might not have completely healed yet. She looked up at Lucas and said, "Let's go back to the hospital first. He recently had a fracture in his left arm."

"Which hospital are you going to? I'll drive you there," Henry immediately offered.

"It's all right, we have a car," Rachel said, politely turning him down.

Lucas stood up with the boy in his arms and nodded at them. "We're sorry for the scare. We'll take him to the hospital ourselves, you don't have to take responsibility for it."

"It's okay. Rachel is our buddy's wife. Even if it wasn't our fault, we can't just stand by and do nothing," Henry insisted, glancing at Rachel with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Rachel's face darkened, but Lucas just smiled at Henry and said, "Ah, you're Rachel's friends."

Then, Rach

oment, hesitating about what to reply. In the meantime, Jack did not urge her. He just stood in front of her, waiting leisurely for her answer.

Finally, she said, "I'll come."

"It's settled then. I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

As Jack and Rachel spoke, Marcus watched them from a distance. "The atmosphere between them is quite awkward. They look like they're talking with daggers drawn," he commented.

Henry, who was staring at his mobile phone, laughed and said, "Why don't we wait for Jack to come and ask him what it's about?"

Marcus squinted at him suspiciously. Then, he leaned back with his long legs outstretched. "Why do I feel like you called him here just so you could watch a show?"

"You're thinking too much." Henry smirked.

At this moment, two new voices were heard. "Celia, I want chocolate!"

"No! No way! Don't even think about it!"

The door of the X-ray room was opened. The nurse who had run into the room in a hurry walked out with the boy in her arms.

As soon as she turned around, her eyes met Marcus' and Henry's. Marcus withdrew his long legs and stood up. At the same time, Henry put away his phone.

Celia blinked her eyes. She knew that these two men were the ones who had insisted on bringing her brother to the hospital. Just now, one of them had explained the incident to her.

Anyway, as far as she was concerned, it wasn't their fault. Mendes had fallen down on his own.
