Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 14

Rachel blinked, "Of course it was Mr.Guzman who asked me to get up."

Trevor nodded eagerly.

"Yes, it really was me."

"You…" the boxer frowned in disbelief and looked like he wanted to ask more questions, but Rachel didn’t give him the chance.

"Mr.Sullivan said that I am free to leave as long as Mr.Guzman forgives me, right?"

"Of course I forgive you! You may go now," Trevor said hastily, before the boxer could respond.

If he could, he would have jumped out of bed and open the door for Rachel himself.If he had known how ruthless Rachel was, he would have never provoked her wrath from the very beginning.

Her angelic beauty had thrown him off, though.

He now regretted ever crossing her.

"Alright then.Mr.Guzman, take good care of yourself.I hope we never see each other again," Rachel said indifferently as she walked towards the door.

Seeing that the boxers didn’t move to stop her, she left the room under the curious gazes of the doctors and nurses.

After she had put some distance between her and her former captors, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly and took three deep breaths.

She looked around her to make sure no one was coming after her and then, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

A nurse passed by and when she saw Rachel sitting on the ground, she stopped and asked kindly, "Miss, are you okay? Do you need help?"

Rachel opened her eyes and looked up at the nurse.

"Can I borrow your phone, please? I need to make a call," she asked in a low voice.

Once she was safely back home.

Rachel sat on the sofa with a warm towel thrown over her knees.

She looked at the maid standing in the corner of the room, waiting for further instructions, her eyes downcast.

"Do you need me to change your hot towel, Miss Bennet?"

The maid raised her eyes and looked at Rachel timidly as she asked the question.

"No, thanks."

Rachel threw the hot towel into a basin besides her feet.

"Where are all the servants?"

"They… they left a few hours after you’re taken away by those men.They- they said that you wouldn’t come back, and that since Mr.and Mrs.Jenkins weren’t here either, those that stayed here would have a hard time.So, they followed Viola’s lead and left to work for Mrs.Jenkins," the maid explained, her voice getting lower with each word.

"Why didn’t you go with them?"

Rachel leaned her head against the back of the sofa.She felt exhausted, which was not surprising, considering she had barely slept these past three days.

It was really hard to get some rest while being kept prisoner, forced to kneel on the ground the whole time.

Rachel had thought that she could finally rest when she returned home, but it wasn’t going to happen.

All the servants were gone and she had to do something about it.

Only one maid left in the house.

Thankfully, the rest of the staff were not bold enough to steal some valuables as they left.

They had just packed their own things and disappeared.

The maid bit her lips and said, "I’m a little clumsy.Mrs.Jenkins and Miss Jenkins never really liked me.Even if I followed the other servants to work for them, I am pretty sure they would turn me away." Rachel smiled fondly.

The maid lowered her head quickly, as though she had misspoken.

"Then how did you know that I would keep you? As you said, you are clumsy.Why should I let you stay, if you are not fit for the job?" Rachel asked, her eyebrows raised.

The girl looked up in fear and then she quickly lowered her head again.

Staring at her feet, she squeaked, "I’m- I’m sorry, Miss Bennet."

The girl was so timid that Rachel didn’t have the heart to tease her any longer.

"Forget it.I can’t find another servant in such a short time.You may stay," she said.

The door opened right after she had finished her sentence and Andy came in carrying a bag with medical supplies.

When Rachel had borrowed that nurse’s phone back in the hospital, she had called Andy to come pick her up.

She had been on her knees for too long.She was in so much pain afterwards that she could barely stand.

When Andy arrived at the hospital and saw her, he was shocked.

He carried her to the car and he dropped her off at the house before he went out again to buy her some medicine.
