Trapped In Lace

Rachel felt bad for her son, but she still patted Tracy's shoulder gently to comfort her. "Don't blame yourself. It's common for children to have a fever. He'll get better soon."

Hearing this, Tracy's face softened a little.

Taking Andy in her arms, Rachel rocked him gently. She hummed a lullaby under her breath while Tracy explained carefully what the doctor had just said during the examination.

Seeing this loving scene, the previously nervous Jack and Jonathan smiled at each other. It looked like Rachel and Tracy were getting along well now.

They all stayed at the hospital for the night and barely got a wink of sleep. Maybe it was because Andy was not feeling well that he didn't sleep well. Even when he dozed off, he would wake up just an hour later.

When morning came, he was crabby and irritable, and his throat sounded a little scratchy.

Tracy tried her best to comfort him herself, but she was fast slipping back into blaming herself again. She covered her face with one hand and sobbed, "If it weren't for me, Andy wouldn't be suffering."

"Mom, it's really okay. The fever has gone down. He's over the worst." Rachel turned to motion to Jack.

He understood what she meant, so he stood up and walked to Tracy. He put his hand on her shoulder and, through a tired yawn, said, "Mom, you and Dad haven't rested all night. You can go back first. Rachel and I will stay here."

"Yes, let's go back

"Well, don't just say that. Go ahead and get him out of bed!"

One day, Jack woke up early in the morning, but his hands were restless and kept wandering over to Rachel's body.

He slowly leaned over, gently brushed her earlobe and said gently, "Honey, fancy a little early-morning workout? What do you think?"

Turning over, Rachel opened her eyes and looked straight into his. "Honey, I'd love to. But won't you be late taking Andy to kindergarten?"

"Why should I be taking Andy?" Jack was puzzled. "Today is Saturday. The kindergarten isn't open."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside by a small figure. Andy trotted in on his little legs, wearing a yellow schoolbag on his back.

He walked to Jack's bedside and tried to grab his hand, but couldn't reach. In the end, he had to pull on the quilt. "Daddy, get up quickly. I'm going to be late for school."

Jack was confused. "What? Isn't Saturday today?"

Rachel explained, "Didn't you hear Andy say last night that the teachers in the kindergarten will be busy on Monday, so they swapped the two days."

swapped nodded in agreement. He looked at Jack as if he were looking at a fool. "Oh Daddy, you are so forgetful."

Jack lowered his head at once. His original plan was definitely not going to pan out. Seeing his wife's beautiful and enticing body, he could not help but feel a sense of bitterness.
