Chapter: 1203
Godson?
Victor had a grimace on his face.
Rachel, too, was astonished and lowered her gaze to Joey.
Joey rolled his eyes. He felt despondent as he reflected on Victor's concise question from just now. He inhaled deeply, and gently pulled on Rachel's sleeve.
"Mom, I'm ready to return to the ward right now."
Rachel understood Joey was sad and believed Victor did not want him as his son.
Rachel pursed her lips and nodded, "All right, I will..."
“Mr. Jimenez can send me back." Even though he was upset, Joey did not want Rachel to be concerned about him. He really cared for his mom. Perhaps more than he did for himself.
After a while, Rachel nodded her head in agreement.
Roger had no idea that Victor's affection for Joey would suddenly shift. He didn't have any business interfering with it because it was a private matter between them.
He turned to face Rachel before proceeding to Joey.
"I lell, I'll take
Joe back to the ward where we'll be waiting for you."
“Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it. I've already said that I'm eager to assist you at any time." After a brief delay, Roger turned and addressed Victor,
"Mr. Sullivan, it's about time we left. Get well as quickly as possible." He then walked away with Joey.
Slowly, the door closed.
Rachel sighed as she saw Joey. She was well aware of his current state of grief. As he recovered, he spent half a month making an intricately detailed rocket model to present to Victor as a token when he got out of the hospital.
See him so sad? She couldn't stand it!
That same instant, she heard a ding on her phone. Carson still hadn't returned despite the expiration of the timer she'd set.
Rachel became enraged as she remembered Joey's sorrowful expression and Carson's promise to her earlier.
"I believe I should tell you something," she stated as she turned to face Victor.
"Rachel?"
“Victor, I'm not sure if you remember, but four years ago..."
"Rachel?" The door was suddenly pushed open. Carson increased his voice and stopped her from completing her comments.
