The moment Rachel saw Jeffrey, she couldn't contain her emotions and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"Rachel, I'm so sorry... this is all because of me. I brought this on you," Jeffrey said, his voice thick with regret as he clung to her.
"Don't cry. What matters is that you're free now," Rachel whispered, running a comforting hand through his hair. "Promiseyou won't act recklessly again, okay?" Jeffrey nodded firmly. "I promise. I won't bring you any more trouble. I know you did everything you could to getout." His thoughts drifted to Brian, and a wave of concern washed over him. "How... how is Brian?" "He's awake and doing fine. Don't worry about him. Let's get you hso you can rest," Rachel said gently.
"Did he make things difficult for you?" Jeffrey asked tentatively. Seeing how weak he still was, Rachel chose not to mention her wedding plans yet.
"Don't worry, Jeffrey. He didn't giveany trouble. In fact, he helped secure your release,” she reassured him. Jeffrey frowned. “Would he really do that just out of kindness?"

As she set her phone down, her eyes caught sight of a scar on Jeffrey's wrist. Though healed, it was still noticeable.
Jeffrey quickly tugged his sleeve down, pretending nothing was wrong, but Rachel wasn't fooled. "What happened to your wrist?” she asked, her tone sharp with concern.
"It's nothing... just a small burn," Jeffrey said, brushing it off. But m Rachel knew he was hiding something.
