Chapter: 1040

"No, Mr.

Sullivan. Who told you that? Miss Bennett has been taking real good care of Joey ever since Joey caught a cold and fever last time. I haven't heard any word that Joey is sick."

Victor's eyes darkened noticeably when he recalled what Ameer had told him over the phone.

Ameer had said that Rachel went to the doctor's today.

If Joey wasn't the one who was sick, then it must mean it was Rachel who was sick.

Victor recalled what happened that night at the Waterfront Hotel.

Even though he was drugged that night, he still remembered everything that had happened. He thought back to how he had touched the protruding scar on Rachel's abdomen at that time. She had told him it was caused when she jumped into the sea.

At that time, Victor was doing everything he could to make Rachel stay and not leave him.

But it slipped his mind to ask what Rachel had experienced in the past four years. What had happened shortly after she jumped into the sea? Was she hurt anywhere else? He had heard the rescuer say that the situation in the sea was very tumultuous. If a living person jumped into its waters, the chances for survival were very slim.

Under such a low probability, how could Rachel survive and what exactly did she face at that time?

As he was thinking about this, Victor felt a sharp pang in his heart and even his fingertips grew numb.

He did not have the heart to think any further. He was afraid he would ask Rachel and he knew after he found out, he would use all the despicable means to make her stay with him.

But he knew he couldn't do that now.

When Victor came back to his room, he pulled out his phone and saw a text message from a strange number.

"Did you block me?"

After looking at this text, Victor knew that Carson had just used his servant's phone to send him this message.

After deleting the message, Victor blocked the phone number Carson used just now and stopped blocking Carson's number.

As soon as Victor did that, his phone started to ring.

The call just so happened to be from Carson.

It appeared that Carson had never given up calling Victor.

“Come on, don't bother hiding! Where is my teammate? Damn it! Why are you rushing to get in front of us?! What's wrong with you?" As soon as the call was connected, Victor could make out the voice of

Carson and the background music of the game he was playing.

“Ah? Why is there no sound right now? What is wrong with my phone?"

Carson was completely caught up in his game and he didn't hear the beep. He suddenly paused right then.

He was actually calling Victor while playing a game.
