Captivation: Want Nothing But You

"That’s strange.It looks like someone’s standing outside Miss Bennet’s house," the driver remarked.
Rain was pouring heavily, so he couldn’t see it clearly.He could only make out a person’s figure standing there from a distance
Rachel and Roger turned to look at the house.
Roger looked outside as well, worried that it could be someone suspicious.
When they saw the lurking figure, they instantly recognized who it was.
Subconsciously, Roger turned his head toward Rachel.He swallowed and attempted to say something, only to find that Rachel
had already looked away as if she didn’t care.
Roger would have assumed Rachel would not react emotionally when she saw Victor if she hadn’t clenched her hands on her
knees.
The gate of the house slowly opened as the car approached.
Lila, who was inside the house, had noticed that they had returned and opened the gate for them.
As the car had gotten closer, the driver’s eyes widened a little in surprise after recognizing the man standing at the front door.
The first thing he did was look up at Rachel and Roger in the rearview mirror.
"Mr.Jimenez, it appears to be Mr.Sullivan."
The driver couldn’t help but remind them.
Roger’s eyes darkened as he lowered his gaze to Rachel’s clenched fists.
"Stop the car."
The driver stepped on the brakes.
Confused, Rachel gave Roger a puzzled look.
Roger’s mouth twitched slightly, and a faint, bitter smile flashed on his face.
"Perhaps Mr.Sullivan chere for you, Rachel." Rachel pursed her lips and remained silent.

"He seems to be doing better now, but he’s still wearing the hospital gown.He probably just got discharged from the hospital.I’m
not sure how long he’s been standing here."
Although he said that, Roger somehow hoped that Rachel would say it had nothing to do with her.
After hesitating for a while, Rachel took out her phone and searched for Ivan’s phone number.
"I’ll call Ivan and ask him to pick Victor up." She scrolled through her list of contacts and dialed Ivan’s phone number.
A wave of relief washed over Roger when he heard this.
It seemed that Rachel really wanted to make a clean break with Victor.
The phone rang incessantly, but there was no answer.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unattended.Please try again later."
"I guess the Sullivan Group is swamped as a result of yesterday’s events.Ivan should be dealing with a lot of things right now.He
might not pick up the phone for the tbeing," Roger said.
Since they were in a closed space, he could clearly hear the auprompt from Rachel’s phone.

Feeling a bit troubled, Rachel gripped her phone tightly.
‘‘Roger’s right.Ivan and Carson are probably handling the problem since Victor’s still recovering from his injuries"
"I think Mr.Sullivan cto your house after leaving the hospital.How about I ask the driver to send him back to the hospital for
now?" Roger suggested.
While Roger was speaking, Rachel sent a message to Carson and asked him to cand get Victor.
Rachel paused after processing Roger’s words.
"But I don’t want to bother you..."
"Don’t worry about it.It’s no trouble at all."
Roger then turned to the driver and gave him sinstructions.

After that, he walked over to the front and opened the car door for Rachel while holding an umbrella.
“Thank you," Rachel whispered.
The moment she got out of the car and stood on the side of the driveway, she felt like she was being watched.
Without even looking, she knew who it was.
Eventually, Lila exited the maid’s room with an umbrella.She found it weird that the Bentley didn’t cin, and she was a little
worried.
"Miss Bennet."
Lila dashed toward Rachel with a worried face. Rachel nodded and quietly stepped away from the umbrella Roger was holding
for her.
She then proceeded to share an umbrella with Lila and asked, "Where’s Joey?"
"Joey is sleeping in his room," Lila replied with a smile, eyeing Roger curiously.
‘‘The man is very handsome.Is he Rachel’s boyfriend?’’ Lila thought.
But before she could figure out the answer, Roger had already noticed her gaze and known what was on her mind.
He smiled politely at Lila and said, "Nice to meet you, Lila.My nis Roger Jimenez.I’m a friend of Rachel."
So he wasn’t actually Rachel’s boyfriend? But Lila wasn’t naive when it cto these things.
After all, who could miss the way Roger looked at Rachel? The affection in his eyes gave it all away.
Lila instantly concluded even if Roger wasn’t Rachel’s boyfriend now, he would be soon.
Seeing that he was not only handsbut also humble, Lila was very satisfied to know that Rachel was in good hands. She
smiled back and greeted Roger.
"Hello, Mr.Jimenez."
Victor’s eyes were glued to Rachel the entire time.

In the rain, the blue and white hospital gown easily stood out.
Despite Rachel’s best efforts to ignore it, she caught a glimpse of Victor out of the corner of her eye.
"Rachel, the rain is getting heavier.You and Lila go in first.I’ll take Mr.Sullivan to the car."
Rachel slowly nodded.
Roger turned around and walked up to Victor straight away.It wasn’t until then that Lila cto her senses.

She was taken aback to see Victor.
‘Wait a minute, isn’t this the man Joey mentioned earlier who was sheltering from the rain?’
"Lila, let’s head back first."
Before Lila could assess the situation, Rachel interrupted her thoughts.
"Ah, yes, Miss Bennet," Lila answered in a hurry.
"I made sginger soup.It’s perfect for a rainy cold day, and it’s good for your health.I’ll serve sto you and Mr.Jimenez
later." Rachel nodded.
"That’d be great. I appreciate it, Lila."
Just as they were about to leave, a loud cough brought them to a halt.
Thud! Victor placed a hand on his chest, his back making a dull sound as it collided with the railing Rachel turned her head to
look along with Lila.
When Lila saw this, she exclaimed, "Goodness me... His face is ghostly pale!"
Rachel couldn’t help but check on Victor.He was indeed very pale and weak.
If a strong wind suddenly came, he could easily tumble down.
Seeing this, Roger rushed to help Victor out, but before he could touch him, Victor leaned against the railing and yelled in a low
voice, "Get away from me!"

Rachel frowned.
She didn’t like how Victor was behaving "Mr.Sullivan, you don’t look good right now.I’ll ask my driver to send you back to the
hospital."
Instead of getting offended, Roger withdrew his hand and approached Victor calmly.
Victor heard him clearly, but he didn’t say anything. His stubbornness pissed Rachel off even more.
"Roger, just leave him alone and let him wait for death here."
After saying that, Rachel stormed off in the pouring rain, not caring that she would get drenched.
"Rachel... Ahem..."
"Mr.Sullivan!"
"Oh my God! You’re bleeding!"
Roger and Lila exclaimed.
This made Rachel stop again.
When she turned around, she noticed blood dripping out of Victor’s mouth.
His blue and white hospital gown was almost dripping wet, and his hair was damp against his forehead.He looked at Rachel with
deep, dark eyes even in such a situation.
"Rachel..."
Victor murmured and felt like suffocating, causing him to get dizzy.He staggered unconsciously and was on the verge of
collapsing.
The next thing he knew, he was being held by someone.
Victor felt warm, then smelled the faint scent of a woman’s body wash.He opened his eyes and blinked, then looked at Rachel,
who was holding him.He didn’t dare to press all his weight on her.
"I miss you, Rachel."
