Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 40

"Miss Bennet, what’s going on with you?" Abby’s face paled as she hurried forward to Rachel’s aid.

"Are you feeling any discomfort? Would you like me to take you to the hospital?" Rachel waved her hand to interrupt her.

She was currently feeling nauseous, and her face made it apparent Moments later, she stopped throwing up, and then she gradually felt better.

The taste of vomit lingered in her tongue though.

"Miss Bennet, please sit down and have some water."

Abby helped her sit on the chair while handing her a glass of warm water.

Ever since yesterday afternoon, Rachel hadn’t eaten anything, so she didn’t throw up any food.

All that came out of her body was bitter, sour fluids.

Right now, her face looked so pale that it looked like she would faint at a moment’s notice.

Rachel took the water from Abby’s hand and drank it all.

Her throat moistened, and the bitter taste left in her mouth soon dissipated With tearful eyes, Abby said, "Miss Bennet, I think we should go to the hospital."

"I hadn’t eaten much for days.Maybe that’s why I felt nauseous when I smelled the food.I’m fine.I don’t need to go to the hospital."

Rachel’s voice was a little hoarse.

She glanced at the food and said, "Abby, could you please put away the food for now? I don’t have the appetite to eat at the moment.I’ll eat it later."

Upon hearing her say that, Abby hesitated.

She wanted to say something, but she decided not to speak her mind.

In the end, she just lowered her head and started putting the boxes away, holding back her tears.

All of a sudden, a phone started ringing.

With knitted brows, Rachel answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Rachel, why haven’t the files the head office requires been sent up yet? I’m giving you five minutes to accomplish this task!"

Ivy’s arrogant voice came through the phone.

She even hung up the phone without waiting for Rachel’s response.

Annoyed by that brief interaction, Rachel put down her phone, and picked up the pile of documents on the table.

When she was about to stand, she suddenly lost balance.Fortunately, Abby managed to grab ahold of her, along with the documents.

"Miss Bennet, you just threw up.You should focus on resting.I’ll deliver these documents for you if they’re that important."

Abby held onto the documents, afraid that Rachel would refuse her suggestion.

Upon seeing the determination in Abby’s eyes, Rachel smiled faintly, and sat back in her chair.

"Fine."

Her feeling of nausea still hadn’t dissipated completely.

Rational as she was, Rachel knew that she wasn’t going to risk her health no matter how much she wanted to stay in the Sullivan Group.

Since Abby had volunteered to help her, it was natural for Rachel not to decline this act of kindness.

"Anyway, you should get some rest, Miss Bennet.As for the other materials that need to be delivered or sorted out, I’ll do my best to help you, if you’ll let me.Just let me know if you need my help."

Seeing that Rachel had agreed to her suggestion, a smile appeared on Abby’s worried face.

She turned around and left the archive room, holding onto the documents as if they were treasured items.

Rachel leaned against the chair, closing her eyes to rest.

She let the feeling of nausea pass before she continued sorting out the messy documents.

Afterwards, she printed out the sorted materials, and bound them together.

She then caught a glimpse of the timestamp on the lower right side of the computer screen.

It had been over twenty minutes since Abby left to deliver the documents.

Rachel frowned.

Normally, going to the head office from the archive room would take twenty minutes at most, not to mention, she only needed to deliver the documents to the front desk for Ivy was working there.
