"I dreamed of my parents and my childhood."
As Rachel mentioned her parents, Tracy couldn't help feeling emotional.
She wondered what Rachel dreamed. "About your childhood?" she asked.
Rachel thought for a moment and replied honestly, "Yes. I dreamed something that I couldn't remember
in my memory."
"What was your dream? Can you tell me about it?"
Rachel fell silent for a while as if trying to recall her dream. Then she said in a low voice, "I dreamed of
that day when we had a car accident."
Tracy froze upon hearing what she said.
Rachel couldn't see her and thought she was just listening, so she continued, "I dreamed of that scene
when my father was driving on the road going to your house. It was very noisy."
A faint smile appeared on her face, but it also faded away quickly. "Then... when I woke up, you were
already there beside me. I felt like I had come back to that time."
Tracy also remembered the memory in the past.
Perhaps Rachel didn't know that the three of them were sent to the hospital immediately.
Her father was the most seriously injured, so he died right away.
Her mother's condition was also bad, but she still got a chance to ask for help.
She requested to call Jonathan's father and entrusted Rachel to him before she passed away.
Tracy remembered that when little Rachel woke up, she was in shock. She cried every night for half a
month.
As a mother, Tracy couldn't stand seeing Rachel weep, so she slept with her during those times.
Jonathan's father had decided to adopt Rachel.
Tracy had gotten to know the reason from Jonathan, and agreed without any hesitation.
Rachel was always a very sensible girl.
After she had known the situation she had been in, she had been behaving herself in Fu family's
house. Jonathan's father had taken care of her for a long time.
After the old man passed away, Tracy and Jonathan had begun to take care of her. She had lived with
the Fu family for many years until she was arranged to marry Jack.
Tracy couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Rachel. Her heart was filled with pity and guilt.
She held Rachel's hands and comforted her, "Just take a rest. You don't need to worry this time. You
have a family now."
Actually, Rachel wanted to ask something about the things in her past. But she didn't expect that Tracy
would comfort her this way, so she decided not to ask anymore.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just reminded of my past."
"Okay." Tracy gently stroked the back of her hand and thought for a while. "Rachel, don't be afraid.
When we get back to Ninwell City, we will find the best doctor to check your eyes. We will do everything
to have your vision back."
Although the doctor had told them that the blood clot will dissolve in five days,
the Fu family still wanted to consult a doctor that they were familiar with and trusted.
Rachel didn't refuse their kindness. She just followed their arrangement and let Jack did the process so
she would be discharged from the hospital.
After he finished everything, they were finally ready to go back to Ninwell City the next day. Fortunately,
the rain that had been going on for almost half a month now finally stopped today.
Rachel was awakened by the noise outside.
When she opened her eyes, it was still dark. She was stunned for a moment until she realized that she
was still blind.
Jack had been in her room all the time to take care of her. The moment he noticed that she moved, he
came over to check on her.
Rachel yawned. She couldn't help feeling a little depressed after waking up and still in darkness.
"Are you awake now?" He reached out his hand and stroked her face gently.
Rachel smelled the toothpaste in his hand, so she teased him, "Haven't you washed your hands?"
"Why?"
"I can still smell the toothpaste in your hand."
Jack somehow felt relieved upon hearing what she said. At least, her other senses were still active. He
pinched her nose and said, "Yes. I haven't washed my hand after peeing too."
"Eh?" Rachel showed a disgusted expression on her face.
Jack helped her up after teasing her for a while.
She slightly tilted her head, raised her eyebrow, and asked in surprise, "Has the rain stopped?"
He was surprised with her question. He commented, "Your sense of hearing is quite good."
Rachel was a little bit complacent when she answered, "I think my other senses have become more
sensitive since I lose my eyesight."
Jack smiled and put on her slippers.
When he finished, she shook her feet and smiled, "Very good. Now, you are an expert."
He slightly flicked her feet and pulled her out of the bed.
Since she couldn't see, Rachel was like a little child being guided by Jack to the bathroom.
She almost fell when she tripped over a stool.
Fortunately, Jack was fast enough to catch her. Then he looked down and pushed the plastic stool with
his toes.
She propped herself up with one hand and asked, "Did you kick the stool?"
"Yes, I kicked it away."
"Jack?"
"Yes?"
"Why do I have a feeling that you're acting like my father? Ha-ha!"
Jack's face darkened immediately. He didn't respond.
When they reached the bathroom door, he let go of Rachel's hand. Noticing his silence, she smiled and
asked, "Hey! Are you angry? What's wrong with you being like my father? Don't you know that he was
very handsome?"
"Shut up!" Jack snapped. He pulled the anti-slip mat in front of the washbasin and then brought her in.
Rachel didn't know where she was, so she groped around. She then felt the cold sink.
She stroked the edge of the sink and dipped her fingers in the water.
Feeling useless, she couldn't help nagging at Jack. "Do you think I'm a puppet now?"
Jack didn't say anything as he put toothpaste on her toothbrush and prepared a glass of water for her.
He then forced her to face him and instructed, "Open your mouth, Miss Puppet."
Rachel opened her mouth obediently, but she heard him laugh. "No need to open your teeth."
She closed her teeth angrily and snapped at Jack. But she was also enjoying the unskillful service he
was providing her.
Jack was much taller than Rachel, so he had to crouch to brush her teeth properly.
His position didn't look good, but he didn't worry because there was no one else in the room except
them.
Rachel, on the other hand, felt a little awkward. She was not used to having someone brushing her
teeth.
With a mouthful of bubbles in her mouth, she said, "Hurry up."
"Don't move," replied Jack.
"You are poking my palate," complained Rachel.
"Sorry. I'll be gentle."
Someone opened the door and found that there was no one in the bed.
He looked around when heard some noises in the bathroom.
With a frown, he squinted and listened carefully while taking slow steps towards the bathroom door.
"Are you done?"
"Not yet, but almost done." Jack was squatting while still brushing Rachel's teeth. He frowned and said,
"Don't say anything."
Then he added in a slightly hoarse voice, "Just give me a few seconds. I'm almost done."
All of a sudden, they heard a roar from the door. "What are you doing?"
Jack turned his head and saw Eric standing outside the door. He was stunned. How could Eric
suddenly appear here when he should be thousands of miles away from them?
He was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. He was looking at them suspiciously.
'When did he arrive?' Jack thought.
Rachel, who couldn't see the door, looked in the direction and shouted excitedly, "Eric?"
But since her mouth wasn't rinsed yet, bubbles gushed out of his mouth and splashed on Jack's face.
With an unreadable expression on his face, Jack raised his hand and wiped it.
Eric burst into laughter in an instant.
He was actually here to pick up Rachel. He had planned to come here with Jonathan, but the old man
had persuaded him into staying
in Ninwell City.
Since he couldn't reach Rachel on her phone, he could only get information from Jonathan.
He already knew that Rachel had suffered from temporary blindness because of the blood clot in her
brain.
He took the earliest flight in the morning, so he could immediately see her.
And to his surprise, she was not in her bed, and he heard some strange noises in the bathroom.
Walking towards the bathroom, he couldn't help thinking, 'Is Jack such a brute?
He is not supposed to do it to Rachel.'
However, when he opened the door, what he saw was way different from his imagination, so he
laughed out loud.
He raised his hand and touched his nose, then walked out. "Just continue what you are doing."
With mouth slightly twitched, Jack took a towel and wiped the remaining bubbles on his eyebrows.
Joy was written all over Rachel's face upon knowing that Eric had come to see her.
Even his voice sounded more adorable to her this time.
So she urged Jack, "Let's hurry up. Finish brushing my teeth now."
A feeling of jealousy rose from the bottom of his heart. 'How can you be so excited just knowing that
Eric is here?'
But he just kept the thought to himself. He just continued to brush her teeth unhurriedly and said in a
serious tone, "Stop acting like a child. I've already told you several times not to move.
And stop talking." He knew that she would retort, so he already stopped her before she could speak.
Eric turned back and leaned against the door. "Rachel, how are your eyes?"
"She still can't see now," Jack answered on behalf of Rachel while rinsing the toothbrush. After putting
it back in the cabinet, he turned to her and guided her to wash her face. "Lower your head. The
washbasin is right in front of you."
