Standing in front of Rachel with a gentle smile on his handsome face, Marcus said, "Let me drive you to the hospital."
Rachel shook her head. "No, I'm good."
But Marcus seemed completely undisturbed by her refusal. With a gentle smile on his face, he continued, "You won't be able to take care of Eric if you're the one driving. Let me do it."
Upon hearing this, Rachel paused for a second and mulled it over. Realizing that his words made sense, she nodded.
Right now, nothing mattered more than Eric's well-being. Since his hands were seriously injured, she needed to tend to them as soon as possible. There was a first aid kit in her car.
When they reached the parking lot, Rachel saw that Jack wanted to drag Celine into his car but the latter refused to.
Without faltering for even a moment, she grabbed Eric by the arm and walked to her car. Then, she threw her car keys to Marcus.
Marcus casually caught them with a smile, and then climbed into the car and sat in the driver's seat.
After glancing at the back seat and making sure that Rachel and Eric were settled in, he started the car.
Seeing Rachel's car pulling out of the parking lot, Jack pulled Celine into his own car with a blank expression on his face.
Meanwhile, inside Rachel's car, Eric cried and asked worriedly, "Rachel, are my hands okay?"
At the moment, Rachel was cleaning his wounds. When she heard his question, she replied grimly, "They will be."
With his eyes still on the road, Marcus smiled.
Although Rachel was calmly dressing his wounds at the moment, Eric knew Rachel well and could sense that she was a little angry, so he quickly whispered, "Rachel, I was wrong."
But Rachel didn't answer him. Instead, she asked Marcus to drive them to the hospital she worked at.
When they arrived, Rachel wanted to ask Marcus to head back first, but since they had come here in her car and he didn't have a vehicle to travel back in, she kept her mouth shut.
But at that moment, Marcus unexpectedly said in a light voice, "Well, we're here. This is your territory. I guess I can leave now. Bye!"
Rachel smiled faintly, feeling like a weight had been lifted off her. "Thank you for driving us here. But how are you going to go back?"
"Did you forget that my office is nearby? Anyway, call me if anything happens." After saying goodbye to them, Marcus left the hospital.
Then, Rachel brought Eric to a medical room. When she saw that her colleague on duty wasn't
there, she took some liquid medicine to sterilize Eric's wounds and brought him to a nearby ward.
"Ouch!" Eric cried out when the liquid medicine touched his wound.
"What did you do wrong?" Rachel asked calmly, finally deciding to talk about the incident.
Looking at Rachel's face, Eric said carefully, "I...
I shouldn't have gotten involved with those people."
"Tell me, did you go to the party because of Celine?"
Rachel asked after carefully bandaging his wounds.
Hearing this, Eric rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, I went in because I saw Celine in danger."
