Trapped In Lace

The Wen family did not let Francis in. He stood outside the door, wearing a crumpled suit which he had not changed in days.

He stood there completely alone. Inside the building was the mourning hall in which Wendy's body was.

This no longer came as a surprise. After having exacted revenge on Cole and indirectly causing Wendy's death, how could he expect the Wen family to treat him kindly?

It was already too kind of them not to have driven him away.

Francis and Wendy had already registered to be married. The Wen family didn't know that until two days prior.

When Vincent found out, he was furious. He had never thought that they would been officially married.

However, dealing with Francis was the least of his issues right now. The only thing that mattered at the moment was Wendy's funeral.

The Wen family was facing a lot of difficulties right now, so not many people came to the funeral. The few who came had seen Francis waiting outside.

The Wen family's relationship with Francis was complicated, so none of the guests could help him. Some of them paused but ultimately did not talk to him.

Even fewer approached, concerned, and tried to comfort him, but they found him to be out of sorts.

They understood, though, and left him alone. Everyone knew that his dead fiancee was inside.

Jack came out not long after entering. Wendy's body did not look that bad, though she had jumped off the fifteenth floor and had died from a head injury.

Only Vincent and his mother were left of

ick him up tomorrow night."

She had thought that he needed help with something different. Nevertheless, she nodded her agreement. "It doesn't matter. I'll take care of him."

Lucas flashed her a smile of relief. Then he raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "I'll send some of his things over later."

"No problem," Rachel replied.

Curious, Mendes then approached him, blinked several times, and asked, "Where are you going?"

He smiled and patted him on the head. "To treat patients."

"Can I go with you?"

Rachel laughed. "What are you going to do there? Cause trouble?" Mendes blushed.

He declared for everyone to hear, "I want to be a doctor when I grow up! A doctor like you!" His eyes sparkled.

Rachel beamed as she looked into his eyes. "Go for it! I'm sure you'll make a great doctor," she told him.

Rachel had already made Lucas a promise when she remembered that she had to have dinner with the Fu family tonight. This only meant one thing. 'Oh, no. Should I take Mendes back?' she thought.

Once her shift ended, Jack called. "Come out after you're done. I'll be waiting for you right outside the hospital's gate."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Rachel worked on sorting Mendes' stuff. When she was done, she promptly zipped up the bag.

"Mendes, I'm going to have dinner with my dad. Do you want to go?"

The boy tilted his head and asked, "Can I go, too?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then. I'll go!"

Jack hadn't been waiting long before Rachel came out, a boy tagging along.
