Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 73

"Fine, I won't leave," said Rachel.

She remembered what Clara had told her.Now that she was pregnant, she shouldn't put herself through stressful situations.She wasn't allowed to be angry, nor exhausted.Otherwise, it could endanger her child.These bodyguards were fiercely loyal to Victor.Without his approval, she would never get out of this place.Wasting her time with these bozos was pointless, so she decided to give up for now.

"Thank you for cooperating, Miss Bennet."

In a solemn expression, the bodyguard said, "If there's anything you need, just tell us.We'll do our best to satisfy your needs."

"I want to make a phone call."

Three days later.

Clara was standing at Rachel's bedside, checking her wounds and bruises.

"Once your discharge papers are signed, you can leave the hospital.However, your bruises still haven't recovered completely, so keep applying the ointment on them when you go home."

Rachel nodded in response.

Then, Clara turned to look at the men standing guard at the door.

Over the past three days, there had been three pairs different bodyguards taking shifts, and they were all sent by Victor.

"I'm off duty this afternoon.Do you need me to send you home?" Clara asked while looking at Rachel.

Rachel looked back at her.

Upon seeing the concern in Clara's eyes, she immediately understood why Clara asked that question.

It was clear that she was worried that those men at the door would maltreat her just like Victor.

"I appreciate the kind offer, but no.I can get home by myself."

Rachel had no idea why Clara pretended as if they haven't met before, but she still didn't want to get this woman involved in her own problems.

"I see.In that case, I'm going back to work now.Take care, Rachel."

A puzzled and concerned look flashed in Clara's eyes.

Since Rachel seemed adamant on her decision, she decided to let it go, and left the ward.

Soon, Ivan showed up.

Upon his arrival, Rachel was looking at the garden of the hospital from the balcony.

It was already autumn, and what once were green leaves had now turned yellow.

As the wind blew by, the yellow leaves danced in midair, until they finally landed on the ground.

As Ivan looked at Rachel's back, he was taken aback for a moment.

She was standing in front of the balustrade, reaching out to catch one of the leaves, and her hair was fluttering with the breeze.

This scene was so picturesque.

Rachel was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown.

The one she was wearing was the smallest size, but it still looked a bit loose on her.

Her figure looked frail and vulnerable.

It was difficult to perceive her as the same woman who showed no sign of fear despite being tortured by Victor three days ago "Miss Bennet."

After collecting his thoughts, Ivan said, "Your discharge papers have been signed."

Rachel then turned to look at him calmly.

It didn't surprise her that Ivan was here to help her sign the discharge papers.

As she walked back inside from the balcony, she said, "I'm just going to change my clothes."

Afterwards, she picked up the clothes she was wearing three days ago, and went into the bathroom.

Ivan was surprised by how calm she was at this moment.

He had initially thought that Rachel would ask him why he was here, or perhaps demand him to let her go.He had imagined a myriad of reactions from Rachel, but never did he expect her to be this calm.

At this point, he had no idea what was going on in her mind.

Moments later, Rachel came out of the bathroom and said to him, "Let's go."

"Miss Bennet, where are we going?"

Seeing that she was headed for the door, Ivan frowned and stopped her.

"Shouldn't I be the one to ask that question? I'm assuming you came here to sign my discharge papers under Victor's orders, didn't you? So, lead the way," Rachel said indifferently.
