Chapter: 1084

I'm not any less anxious to find him than you.”

Rachel stared at him and kept quiet for a very long time. Her eyes were red and wet.

"If something were to happen to Joey, you will regret it."

"What did you say?" Victor asked and was a little stunned. Rachel was murmuring, and he could only hear the word “regret.”

Rachel raised her eyes to meet his, and after a moment, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Nothing."

Victor's dark eyes were fixed on Rachel for quite some time. He felt that she was saying something important, but since she didn't want to talk about it anymore, he no longer asked.

He loosened his grip on Rachel's shoulder, then squatted down in front of her.

Victor lifted Rachel's injured ankle and placed it onto his thigh.

He took a swab and dipped it in rubbing alcohol. He gently held her ankle in place and started cleaning the blood around the wound delicately.

Her ankle was pale white and slender, highlighting the scarlet blood that had gushed out from the gaping cut.

Gazing at the bloody wound, Victor's face dimmed and wore an expression she couldn't read. He then put the ointment on Rachel's ankle. She bit her lip and retracted her leg as it touched the wound.

The ointment was a little cold to the skin, and Rachel felt the stinging pain. She was squirming and tried to avoid it subconsciously.

"It'll only take a minute," Victor whispered in a low and hoarse voice, pressing his hand against her ankle. He did it as gently as possible.

Rachel bit her lower lip harder until it turned pale. She didn't say anything or made any movements.

After applying the ointment and treating the wound, Victor placed her foot down. He stood up and put the tube back into the medicine kit.

Glancing at his back, Rachel kept thinking about Joey. She didn't know what to do if something terrible had happened to him. All she knew was that she would go crazy.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Victor was right about one thing this time. Even if she hurried out to find Joey, where would she even start?

Maybe she could check the monitoring system...

However, she already did that four years ago. She had explored the entire system of Apliaria, but failed to find Abby in time.

She took out her phone and dialed Joey's number once more.

But this time, it wasn't in an unanswered state. It was disconnected with a double beep. Rachel was in disbelief.

His phone could still be reached around half an hour ago.

Rachel couldn't stand it any longer. She hung up and went straight to open the hacker software, searching for Joey's watch signal.

A dark blue prompt box popped up on the screen. The AI operator remarked, “Sorry, the watch signal has not been detected yet."

When Victor turned around, he noticed that Rachel kept calling, and the electronic voice rang in his ears.
