Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 453

“Here, take this.” The nurse pointed to the milk and bread on the table. 

“You’ve given a lot of blood and you need to eat something to replenish your strength.” The nurse took out the needle from Rachel’s skin and put the blood bag in order. 

“If you feel dizzy, let us know immediately, okay?”

Rachel pressed the spot where the needle had been, her eyes falling on the two blood bags the nurse was holding. she couldn’t believe four hundred milliliters of blood had been drained from her body.

Listening to the nurse’s instructions, Lukas picked up a glass of milk and handed it to Rachel. “Miss Bennet, here. Why don’t you have some milk?”

Rachel stood up abruptly and felt dizzy for a moment, not able to find her footing. She stood still and took a deep breath to recover. Maybe she felt this way because of the four hundred milliliters of blood that was drawn from her body.

 “Lukas, I’m fine. Don’t worry,” she said after waking up from her reverie. 

“I’ve asked for a room to be booked in a hotel that is close to the hospital. Considering how busy you’ve been today, you could use some rest. You don’t have to worry. Lukas and I will stay back and keep you updated, okay?” Carson said as he walked over.

Rachel looked to Lukas, and then to Carson. She looked away and said, “I’ll wait here. He might need blood later on, and if I’m not…”

“Rachel, unless I’m mistaken, didn’t you want Victor to die?” Carson asked, interrupting Rachel abruptly..

Taken by surprise with Carson’s words, Rachel completely lost her words and forgot what she was about to say.

Lukas glanced at Rachel shortly, trying to gauge her reaction to Carson’s words. He didn’t want her to get hurt in any way. 

“Mr. Scott!” he called out firmly. The tone of his voice alone made Carson understand what Lukas was trying to convey to him. He might have understood Lukas’ message, but that wasn’t about to stop him from speaking his mind. 

“You’ve wanted him to die so much for so long! Isn’t this a perfect opportunity that has presented itself? If you’re scared of feeling guilty if he doesn’t survive, you shouldn’t. Come on, Rachel! Don’t fool yourself! You’ve already donated enough blood for him. You should just sit and wait for the doctor to announce his demise. You know fully well that that’s what you do best.” Rachel pressed her lips into a thin line, looking into Carson’s eyes as though she was thinking about it. 

Yes, she had to admit that that was what she ought to be doing Why then could she only think of being present to help in case Victor needed more blood later on? 

“Mr. Scott, I believe you misunderstood Miss Bennet.” Lukas frowned. 

“Really?”

Rachel walked towards the operating room. 

“I really do want him to die,” she said.

 “Miss Bennet…”

“But not like this.” Rachel looked at her feet dejectedly. What was wrong with her? Her actions were the complete opposite of the things she said. she had lost too much blood in a short period of time and her temples hurt. 

Maybe that was why she was acting that way. The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. Tired of thinking so much, she simply blamed her strange actions on Joey, though she knew fully well that it wasn’t true. Yes, Joey was actually waiting for her.She had promised to show him a video of a safe Victor when he woke up.

So, of course, she wanted Victor to die. Just not right now. Later maybe.She wouldn’t be able to take it if she was the cause of Joey’s sadness, or if she did nothing to make sure he wasn’t sad.

Rachel convinced herself of this. She believed that it was the only reason she was trying to save Victor.

Carson looked at Rachel with an unreadable emotion in his eyes. Finally, he chuckled. She looked at him in confusion trying to understand what was so funny,

“I thought you were a heartless person. Rachel, you may art cold and everything, but deep within you really are warm-hearted.” 

“Looks like you know me well, Carson,” Rachel sighed and sat down on the bench.
