My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 2

"Please clear the room," Rachel said as she walked over to the bed. "I need to do a more thorough physical examination."

'Never thought that woman could be so straightforward. Doesn't she have an ounce of humor?' Michael thought. With his hands in his pockets, he sullenly left the ward. Jack followed him out of the door.

There were no other injuries on this woman's body aside from the bruises Rachel had initially seen. "Hook her up to an IV," Rachel told one of the nurses.

Jack had a foot out the door when he heard this, and came back inside, looking up and down at that woman, Celine Duan, carefully. "Is it serious?" he asked Rachel.

Rachel was busy writing a prescription on her clipboard. "It's just a cold. She needs to stay hydrated." Rachel handed a piece of paper to the nurse. "She just needs some medicine and then she'll be fine."

The ward fell silent again afterwards.

Michael, who came back after Jack, couldn't stand the silence anymore and went out.

The nurse came in to give infusion. But before the needle could enter her body, Celine Duan suddenly woke up.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" Celine Duan pushed the nurse away in horror.

Rachel was stunned. She didn't expect that a patient who was just unconscious could exert that much strength.

Jack rushed over and held her down. "Celine, you're in the hospital," he said, his voice with the uttermost tenderness. "You just need to take a drip."

But when Celine Duan saw Jack, it seemed as if she got even more agitated. "Who asked you to bring me here? Don't act so noble in front of me!" she screamed as she tried to shake him off.

Her shrill, sharp voice echoed in the ward, making Rachel's head ache.

Jack's hands were firmly planted on Celine Duan's shoulders. "Don't worry. We'll be back soon." He also signaled the nurse to come over.

Celine Duan was feeling furious. Her face was blushing, but her lips looked pale and weird, probably from her excessive drinking. When Celine Duan saw the nurse coming, she stretched her hand out and wanted to scratch the nurse badly.

The nurse felt frightened and immediately took a step back.

Because of the nurse's reflexes, Celine Duan missed. She then turned around to scratch Jack's neck. Just like that, Jack's neck had more scratch marks on it.

Jack had no choice but to grab Celine's hand to restrain her. But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop her.

"I don't want to see you, Jack! Get out of my way!" she shouted. Celine's wails blared across the quiet hospital.

While all of this was happening, Michael came in and watched the raucous scene in shock.

Rachel couldn't bear it anymore and came over. "Have you had enough? This is a hospital, not a scene of some TV drama!" she said.

Hearing Rachel, Celine calmed down a little.

Rachel grabbed a needle and injected it into Celine's hand.
