Chapter 263 Why Were We Fighting

"Ugh!" Eric was about to scold Jack for his shamelessness. Hearing that Eric was cursing Jack,

Rachel's face immediately darkened. "What are you doing, Eric?"

Eric immediately froze at the sound of her voice. He slowly turned around to see her standing by the
door, looking displeased.

When he turned back, Jack shrugged helplessly as if he had nothing to do with this.

With pursed lips, Rachel pulled Eric out of the room.

As Eric turned back, he could see Jack sitting by the bed with a small smile playing on his lips. It was
as if he had been tricked. He gritted her teeth and let her drag him out of the room.

She crossed her arms. "You're already an adult, Eric," she lectured. "If you go out like this, what will
others think of you?"

"I...I didn't really curse him!" he protested. However, Rachel wasn't convinced. "Are you really lying to
me? I just saw you yelling at him."

Eric didn't really know what to say.

"Okay, so maybe I went a little too far." He finally relented.

She gave up arguing with him. With a wave of her hand, she sighed. "You shouldn't have done what
you did. It's not polite."

"I just wanted to talk to him." At this point, he didn't know if he could defend himself any longer.

Maybe one day, if he wanted to pick a fight with Jack, he should do it when Rachel was not around.



Hearing what he had to say, Rachel finally relaxed, but she was still perplexed as to what was
happening around her. She thought for a moment before lowering her voice. "Why do you want to talk
to him?"

Eric narrowed his eyes. "Did you forget what happened?"

"Yes," she answered. Helplessness threaded around her voice.

"Even the fight with him?"

"Fight?" Her eyebrows furrowed over doubtfully as she tried to think it over. "I fought with him?"

Just as Eric was about to say something, Jack interrupted them, "You can ask me if you want to know
what happened. I can tell you."

They turned around to see that Jack was standing by the door. His face blurred against the light.

In fact, he had hidden himself so well that no one could see the nervousness that bloomed in his gaze.

He had chosen to no tell Rachel that they had had a fight because of Celine.

If Rachel wanted to know, he would tell her the truth.

But since she hadn't asked him, he had chosen to keep it a secret.

Although he knew that it wasn't polite to eavesdrop on what they were talking about, he found it
necessary in these types of situations.

He didn't want Eric to speak so carelessly as to what had happened between them. As much as
possible, he wanted to rid of all the tension between him and Rachel.

If Eric stirred up more trouble, Rachel might never want to speak to him again.



Jack's gaze swept over Eric, who shivered at the sight.

Rachel flushed. All she wanted was to get some information from Eric, but she didn't expect that they
would be caught red-handed.

She couldn't help but feel strange when he mentioned their fight. A part of her wanted to find out more
as to what had happened.

To Eric's surprise, Jack placed a hand on his shoulder and defended him by saying,

"Don't scold him too much. He was only kidding."

Eric froze under his grip, but Jack didn't seem to mind.

"I do want to talk to him though."

Hearing his words, Rachel knew for a fact that Jack wouldn't hold anything against that man.

She glanced at Eric, warning him again, "You shouldn't treat people so badly, okay?"

With Jack's arm around his shoulder, Eric nodded stiffly. "It won't happen again."

'Fuck! I really want to get out of here!' he thought.

Rachel glanced at both of them before sighing. "Fine, you can talk to each other. I'll go in first, okay?"

"No..." Before Eric could finish his objection, he could feel Jack tightening his grip on his shoulder. His
expression changed in a flash. Under Rachel's furrowed eyebrows, Eric forced a smile and said, "I
mean, sure. That's fine."

Rachel slowly entered the ward. 'What happened to him?'



She closed the door behind her just to give them some privacy.

She really had no idea what had happened between the two of them.

As she was thinking, she suddenly remembered something.

Back then, Eric had offended Celine, and Jack had taught him a lesson.

She pursed her lips. When did they start to get along so well? At that point, she also didn't know.

When they came back from the balcony, it seemed that Eric had finally calmed down. From an irritable
lion, he had transformed into a docile deer. She had no idea what Jack told him for him to change
within a second.

He smiled and waved at Jack as if he was a long lost friend. "See you, Jack."

Rachel's jaw dropped. 'What the hell? Did he hit his head or something?'

As they walked into the living room, Rachel continued to gaze at them in surprise. Jack walked behind
her and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"You can go on ahead," he said kindly.

To her surprise, Eric didn't say anything in return.

Instead, he walked into the elevator and waved at them. Rachel stared in disbelief.

"What happened?" she demanded. 'What the hell did they talk about?'

Jack's face flushed under Rachel's gaze. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing. It's just...you did a good job in calming him down."



Hearing her words, Jack smiled. He thought that she would interrogate him as to how he managed to
calm him down, but she quickly changed the topic. "But I wanted to ask you, what did we fight about? I
feel like I've forgotten something."

Jack frowned.

Ever since her memory loss had become more evident, she always asked him for bits and pieces about
their past.

At this point, he knew that he shouldn't lie to her.

It wouldn't serve him well in the future.

He told her the entire story, knowing fully well that she might get angry at what he had to say. After he
was done, he anxiously waited for her response.

Rachel's face darkened at his words. However, to his surprise, she pursed her lips and replied, "I
blacklisted you because you didn't apologize to me even after a few days."

"You still remember?"

Jack smiled, happy that she could remember. These days, it was hard for her to recall what had
happened, even if it just happened recently.

"Vaguely."

She couldn't describe what she was feeling. It wasn't as if she had a huge memory loss. It was just that
she couldn't remember bits and pieces of any major events that had transpired in the past few days.

It was as if all her memories were scattered fragments, and she was there to pick up the pieces.



She thought of what Jack had told her. Although she could remember her blacklisting him, she didn't
know the reason as to why she had done that. She felt so disoriented that it was almost like she had
drunk lots of wine.

Now,

although she could remember a few things, she still needed Jack to connect these things one after
another.

At this point, she didn't know what was wrong with her.

Was her condition getting better?

After all, right now, her symptoms had gotten more and more severe in the past few days.

In fact, she had almost forgotten everything that had happened on the day of her accident. Although
she could feel her memories flashing intermittently, they were simply flashes.

"I remember picking up your call at the airport. You said something very childish."

Jack scratched the back of his neck.

"You did, but I didn't say anything childish." He didn't expect that the words he had expressed from the
bottom of his heart would be considered childish to her.

"Really?" She smiled. "I really don't remember much. All I recall is that you sounded so childish."

Jack asked tentatively,

"So you remembered everything?"

"The main parts."



"The main parts?"

Rachel crossed her arms.

"Well, like that time when you didn't follow me out of the hospital."

"If I followed you, wouldn't you get angrier?"

"Huh?"

At this point, Jack thought that she was acting more and more like Eric.

However, he was glad that they could talk about this now. If Rachel could easily talk to him as to what
had happened, then it meant that she could forgive him for what he had done.
