Chapter 35:

Rachel had chosen a knee-length lace dress for the day, its delicate fabric enhancing the natural glow of her skin.

As Trey lifted her, the hem of her dress slid up slightly, revealing more of her legs.

The way Brian stared at Trey could have burned through steel.

“Does no one work anymore?” he snapped, his voice sharp enough to send a chill down the spine.

Trey, however, paid him no mind.

His only concern was Rachel as he carried her and flagged down a cab to rush her to the hospital.

Brian’s fists tightened as he shot a cold glance at Ronald. “Bring the car around. Follow them!”

“Understood.” Ronald sprang into action without delay.

About an hour later, Rachel was placed in a hospital bed, her body still weak from exhaustion.

The moment she stirred awake, the first thing she saw was the harsh white glow of the hospital ceiling, making her squint.

“Where am I?” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, as she lifted a shaky hand to her forehead.

Trey’s face lit up when he saw her stir. “You’re awake! You had me worried.”

“Trey? Did you bring me here?”

“Yes. Just focus on resting. Are you hungry? I can get you something to eat.”

“That would be great. Thanks, Trey.”

“Don’t mention it. Looking after you is the least I can do.”

The moment he stepped out, Brian walked in.

Rachel blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to be here.

Without saying a word, he dragged a chair closer and took a seat beside her bed.

Neither of them said a word, and the silence felt unusually heavy.

It wasn’t until a nurse walked in and called out, “Rachel Marsh, time to check your temperature,” that the stillness was broken.
