Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 352

Rachel was stunned for a moment. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone and looked away. Quickly she walked passed Victor and went inside.

Rachel calculated the time in her mind and wanted to go to the washroom. She thought she would be back by the time Joey’s CT scan was done.

She needed to calm down, organize her thoughts and adjust her mood accordingly. She hated this upset feeling. It made her restless. The door to the balcony was only enough for two people to pass by at one time. Victor noticed that Rachel passed by with an indifferent expression on her face. His eyes darkened, and he grabbed her wrist.

Rachel was forced to stop. She glanced at Victor’s hand and noticed that his veins were bulging. She knew that Victor was restraining himself, but he still held on tightly. Rachel’s face didn’t show any pain. She just looked up at Victor indifferently and reminded him to let go of her. “Mr. Sullivan.”

Victor looked at Rachel and swallowed. After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Are you leaving?”

He could tell that she wanted to leave and didn’t want to stay alone with him at all. When Rachel was talking to Andy on the phone just now, Victor had been standing behind her. Although he couldn’t see her facial expressions, he could tell from her tone that she was relaxed and smiling. But when Rachel turned to face him, her expression was indifferent. Rachel tugged her hand and answered, “Mr. Sullivan, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I’m not your employee. So I don’t need to tell you where I’m going. I don’t need your permission.”

After saying that, she turned away and walked inside.

Victor stood rooted to the spot. He clenched his hand as if he was still trying to grab her wrist. Unfortunately, there was nothing but just cool air. Four years ago, he had failed to catch her. And four years later, he was still unsuccessful.

“You promised to wait for him.” Seeing that Rachel was about to step out of the ward, Victor grasped at straws and used Joey as an excuse to make her stay. Victor couldn’t think of any other reason. Now Rachel didn’t need him, and she even hated him. So she could leave and go anywhere without his permission.

“I’m going to the washroom.” Rachel turned and calmly looked at Victor. Victor’s tense shoulders relaxed a bit. But suddenly, he felt shooting pain from the wound that had not yet healed. His body started to tremble.

He lost his balance and staggered back. His back hit the door frame hard, Rachel witnessed the entire scene.

Before she could process it, she had already rushed toward Victor. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already grabbed his arm. Once Victor caught his balance, he could clearly feel Rachel’s warm palm through his hospital gown. He carefully leaned against the door frame to ease his pain. He looked at Rachel and saw that her eyebrows were furrowed. For a moment, he thought that Rachel was worried about him.
