She wasn’t in the mood to argue now. Her head still felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool from the concussion.

“Rachel.”
She raised her eyebrows in response. She tilted her head to the side as she waited for whatever it was he wanted to say.
Victor inhaled to speak. He was already armed with a sarcastic remark, but when he looked down into her pale face, he found he was suddenly struck speechless.

The cool, autumn night breeze drifted in through the half-opened window and gently lifted the curtain in a gauzy wave.
Rachel waited patiently for him to say something. She kept her eyes locked on him, granting him her full, undivided attention. After a few more minutes ticked by in which he still said nothing, she finally asked in a hoarse voice, “Mr. Sullivan, what else did you want to say?”
Her tone was cold, distant, and laced with just a hint of aggression.
Victor’s expression suddenly darkened and that cold glimmer in his eyes hardened.
“Next time you try and kill yourself, please do so where no one else can see you. Especially me. If you try something like that again, I won’t care if that baby dies with you.”
Then he turned on his heel and marched out the room.

Rachel stared at the door for a long while after he’d left. She was completely dumbstruck by what he’d said. She kept turning his words over and over in her mind, until she finally realized what he’d meant; he thought she’d done it on purpose. He thought she’d purposefully stepped into the road so that he’d have to come and save her.
The thought made her both humiliated and irritated.
Did he think she was insane!
How was she supposed to know he was going to be there at exactly that time? If she’d known he was going to be there, she’d have avoided him at all costs; no matter what Lukas said.
Rachel gritted her teeth tightly. She should have called him back and explained things to him, tried to reason with him, but it was too late now. He was already long gone.
Now, confined to the hospital bed, with no way to release her anger, she felt even worse.
And Victor didn’t come back.
The doctor asked her to stay in hospital for a week. Although it was nothing more than a slight concussion, he’d explained that it was for observation purposes because she was pregnant.
The next day, two stone-faced bodyguards appeared to stand vigil at the door of her ward.
She knew Victor had sent them. Who else could it be? But she didn’t try and contest. She couldn’t leave the hospital without the man’s permission anyway, so arguing was useless anyway.
Later in the afternoon, she had a quick physical exam. It was just to make sure she and the baby were both healthy. After that, she took the tablet Lukas had bought her and went to sit outside on the balcony. She called Quintin and chatted casually with him while she searched the dark web for any information regarding Abby.
The door to the balcony was opened softly.
Rachel’s eyes widened, but then she forced herself to relax. She quickly exited the dark web and instead, opened a simple game on the tablet that she began playing.
Out the corner of her eye, she glanced at whoever had just arrived.
She didn’t see much, just the bright white of a coat. Probably a doctor. Without turning around or raising her eyes she said, “No dizziness, no nausea. I’m perfectly fine, doctor. You’ve been checking up on me all day; aren’t you getting tired? Why don’t you sit down and have a break?”
