Chapter: 1003

"What's wrong?"

“Mommy, I... I have got to go to the bathroom." Joey touched the tip of his nose and his lashes trembled. Whoever observed the little boy carefully would find out that there was a trace of guilt in his tone.

Looking at Joey's habitual action of touching his nose, Rachel suddenly remembered what he said in the restaurant a short while ago.

Hence, she quickly understood that he wanted to look for Victor.

Rachel didn't expose Joey's lie. She wasn't oblivious to the fact that he had been absent-minded all the way. Despite being aware that her son wouldn't go anywhere if she told him not to, she still didn't refuse him. This was because if she had done otherwise, he might not be able to sleep that night.

Maybe this was as a result of the blood relationship.

Despite not wanting Joey to get closer to Victor, Rachel couldn't be selfish enough to ask the little boy not to have any form of interaction and communication with his father. She was conscious of the fact the child ought not to be treated as her property.

Therefore, she wasn't supposed to interfere with his feelings.

Rachel could tell that Joey's attitude towards Victor had been changing.

She didn't know whether or not it was good for the thing to go on like this. But in that given instant, she didn't want to let Joey got affected because of the matter between her and Victor.

"Alright, you can go. But make sure you keep your watch on so as to know exactly where you are at any point in time. And you can't Leave this floor."

When Joey heard what she said, his eyes lit up at once and he agreed.

He asked Rachel to squat down. Then, he kissed her on the cheek and said softly, "I love you!" After that, the little boy went in that direction where the nurse just left.

A few seconds later, Rachel raised her eyes to look at the sign hanging above. The bathroom was located in the opposite direction.

She touched her cheek with the back of her hand and smiled.

When she entered the ward, Andy was just waking up.

"Miss Bennet..." Andy was stunned to see Rachel. He looked around and slowly realized that he was in the hospital.

“Are you feeling comfortable? Do you need me to get the doctor?"

Rachel poured a glass of warm water and put it on the bedside table.

Andy shook his head. He felt a sharp pain in his forehead. This made him inhale and exhale deeply. Then, he reached out his hand and was about to place it above his eyebrows when Rachel hit the back of his hand. There was a crisp sound. And he stopped what he was doing.

"The wound on your forehead has just been dressed. You aren't supposed to touch it!" Rachel said before sitting down.

Andy cast a gaze on her face. Her countenance appeared emotionless

But her slap made him realize that Rachel was unhappy.

For reasons best known to him, he felt a little guilty.

"When did you come back?" Rachel asked him a question before he could utter a word.
