Chapter: 1213
Carson's phone had already rung three times in the space of a few minutes.
He grinned at Rachel and answered the phone. After that, he hurriedly exited the ward.
Rachel's eyes fluttered as she watched Carson's back drift away from her. Some big event was about to happen, she thought. However, it was just for a little period of time until she calmed down.
The bathroom door swung open. Joey slid the door open a little.
Rachel and Andy exchanged looks, and then they both grinned helplessly.
Rachel came over. When Joey heard the sound, he slammed the bathroom door shut for a second time.
Laughing, Rachel approached the door and knocked.
"Come on, Joey.
He's gone now. Isn't it time for you to go back home? The doctor has been waiting."
In the bathroom, a new noise was heard.
Joey opened the door to the ward after a while and had a peek around.
He waited until he was sure Carson had gone before he came out.
Rachel gave Joey a gentle head massage.
Joey approached the bedside and saw the model on the table. He bit his bottom lip.
“I'l toss it away if you don't like it." Rachel was well-versed in
Joey's character. She guessed what he was thinking when she saw him standing there. She approached him promptly.
“Don't get rid of it." Joey, as predicted, grabbed the model right away.
Rachel's brows furrowed a little.
Joey grasped the model while frowning.
"This model is quite costly.
It would be a shame to toss it away."
"Well, then give it to some other kid. What about the boy in the next ward? He can have it." Rachel acted as though she didn't comprehend Joey's hesitancy or uncertainty.
"No," Joey responded.
“But you didn't seem to love it, right? Giving it to another kid isn't a waste."
Joey raised an eyebrow at Rachel before blinking. His mouth moved, but he couldn't utter anything.
