Chapter: 1204
Rachel and Victor both turned to face him at the same moment.
As she noticed the document in Carson's hand, Rachel's expression darkened. Carson stepped up, took a long breath, and spoke gently.
"I just observed that Roger left with Joe. Everything okay with that poor kid?"
Rachel answered him, “He's perfect. Your timing is not that bad."
Carson returned at the exact moment that she was going to reveal the truth to Victor. For some reason, Rachel couldn't help but question his motives and wondered if or not he had been listening in on their conversation to see how long she would remain with Victor for him.
“I had to wait a long time in line to get this," Carson smiled and said.
“Can you please forgive me? I mean, I was late by only a few seconds."
No words came out of Rachel's mouth.
Carson sighed with relief.
Rachel said, "Now that you've returned, I will..." Since she was worried about Joey, she didn't want to be here any longer. She had agreed to spend ten minutes with Victor.
Rachel was ready to go just as Carson was about to convince her to remain a little longer.
“I'm a bit fatigued, Rachel." Victor broke his silence just then.
“Do you feel worn out?" Carson's eyes glowed, and he cracked a grin.
“Hey... I guess I'll have to send the doctor the result. I won't bother you with rest. Mrs. Sullivan, please look after Vic." Carson spoke it with such ease.
"Carson Scott!" Rachel knew what he meant and responded in a cautionary tone upon hearing it.
Carson squinted his eyes and blinked them. While Victor was distracted, he implored Rachel in a quiet voice, “Don't worry, I'll have it done in no time."
Rachel had a headache but did not express it.
Carson smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Rachel remained silent. In Carson's opinion, she had acquiesced since she hadn't said yes or no. He grabbed the report and left right away.
Rachel wanted to leave as soon as she saw that he had departed.
Victor sneezed and inquired, "Where are you going?"
Rachel was compelled to halt and turn around to face him.
"I have no plans to leave here. Help yourself to a nap," she responded, with her fists clenched.
She lowered the bed so he could lay down more comfortably. When she saw that he was gazing at her, she added, "I have no intention of leaving. Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.”
Maybe it was because he was still sleepy and tired, but Victor fell back to sleep right away.
