Chapter: 1188

Carson's arms were placed over his chest. He was lost in thoughts for a while. Just when he was about to say something, Joey spoke before him.

"Mr. Jimenez."

“Is anything the matter?" Roger asked. He stopped and looked at the little boy.

Carson was not standing very far away. As a result, Joey could see him from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrows as if he was giving Carson a hint. But after taking a quick glance at him, Joey turned his gaze elsewhere.

"Mr. Jimenez, I need to use the bathroom

Rachel overheard what Joey was saying.

“How about I take you there?"

"No!" Joey replied in a very decisive tone. There was a serious look on his face.

"Mommy, I am a boy.”

There was a bathroom in Joey's ward, so it wasn't a problem for

Rachel to take him to the bathroom. But at that moment, they were no longer in the ward. So it wouldn't be appropriate for Rachel to take a boy to the ladies' room, just like it wouldn't be right for her to take him to the men's room.

In reaction to Joey's words, Rachel looked at both men.

First, it was Roger, then her gaze fell on Carson. She didn't want to bother the former.

Carson soon observed that she was staring at him. Apparently, she wanted him to take Joey to the bathroom. He coughed and refused to pay any attention to Rachel's gaze. After that, he took out his phone and turned around as if nothing had happened. He managed to give Joey a thumbs up without Rachel noticing. Then, Carson pretended like he was answering the phone.

“Hello, Mr. Ramos! I have read the plan you sent to me..."

While talking, he headed towards the nurses' workstation.

But he wasn't very good at acting. The phone's screen lit up while he was still holding it to his ear. This implied that there was no call at all! Rachel saw what just happened clearly and understood that it was all a sham.

“It's okay. I will take Joey there. He is actually right. It is very embarrassing for a boy like him to be taken to the bathroom by you."

Roger smiled gently.

“Thank you very much," Rachel said to Roger. But when he heard those words, they displeased him.

He thought that Rachel ought to have been closer to him than she was.

The past few days, they got along really well. Both of them were always in one another's company.

But for reasons best known to her, she still alienated him.

From the look of things, Rachel still didn't love him.

Roger knew that it couldn't be achieved rashly. Still, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about the night Rachel was standing outside the operating room where Victor was operated on.
