Stuck in you

Jack's explanation still turned out to be useful, even though Rachel said he didn't have to explain.

She felt as if a burden was lifted from her shoulders when he came clean and told her everything.

She wasn't sure if he had noticed that she was angry.

"So you just got back?" she asked, pretending to be calm despite feeling a little awkward.

When he saw that she was willing to talk to him, Jack felt so happy that he couldn't stop himself from smiling.

"That's right. I've just been so busy recently. Some days, I don't even get to sleep." Jack tried to sound as pitiful as he could.

He pointed under his eyes and added, "Look at my eyes. Even my eyes have bags under them."

Rachel was in no mood to look at the dark circles around his eyes. "Focus on driving!"

As time went by, the temperature got higher and higher, and Eric's wound healed quickly.

His head had been shaved before the operation, and it started to grow hair.

He would touch his short hair every now and then. Thankfully, the scar on his head was not as deep as he had imagined.

People said that if a man was still good-looking with buzz cut, then he was a real handsome guy. Whenever Eric stared at himself in the mirror, he thought he had gotten even more handsome than before. And this made Rachel sick.

It had been more than a month since he got injured. He couldn't wait to hang out with his friends.

Many of his friends and colleagues had come to visit him at Rachel's house.

She had seen all of his friends. They were quite different from the ones Eric had fun with in the bar.

So whenever they dropped by to come pick him up, she didn't have to worry.

After two more days of hanging round with his friends, Eric got bored and asked Rachel if he could go back to work.

Eric was looking better every day, and he seemed like he was already fit to work, so Rachel gave him the go signal.

Now that Eric was out of the house, she felt relieved. But she didn't want to go back to work so soon.

She did hear that Kevin's license was revoked for his negligence of the patient.

It was quite lucky that he wasn't charged for criminal liability, but he would no long be able to continue his career.

James was the one to tell her the news. "He's a man whose avarice knows no bounds," he signed.

Kevin confessed that he was afraid of being replaced by Rachel.

So when Rachel gave him some advice, he refused to take it and insisted that he was right.

He made the wrong decision during the operation, which resulted in the patient's death.

Rachel didn't know what to say. Once a person was affected by their inner demon and obsession, it was easy for them to forget why they had become a doctor in the beginning. Every doctor would face the same dilemma in their career, and it was up to them if they would face it head on or give up.
