Chapter: 1239

Rachel said in a cold tone.

"I'll ask someone to send you back to the hospital.”

"No. I won't go back." Victor held Rachel's wrist tightly.

Rachel tried her best to shake off his hand, but Victor was strong enough despite his condition. Moreover, she felt that his hand was very hot. She instantly frowned and asked, "You have a fever, don't you?"

Hearing this, Roger stepped forward and took Victor's other arm to support him.

"Mr. Sullivan, if you're still not feeling well, it'll be best if we send you back to the hospital."

However, Victor shook off Roger's hand and said in a sullen voice,

"I don't need your help, and I'm not going anywhere. Why don't you get out of here instead?"

While the two men were having a confrontation, Rachel took the opportunity to withdraw her hand. Then, she took a few steps back to keep a distance from Victor. Victor looked at Rachel, and all he saw was the indifference in her eyes. His face darkened.

Meanwhile, the rain became heavier.

In just a few moments, Victor became totally drenched in the rain.

“Mommy... Just as Rachel was thinking about leaving Victor alone in the heavy pouring rain, Joey's voice echoed from behind her.

It turned out that he came over, bearing an umbrella.

Lila saw Joey, who was wearing thin clothes, suddenly appear. She hurriedly went to him and said, “Oh, Joey, why aren't you wearing a raincoat? It's cold outside. You might get sick!"

Then, Lila quickly took off her coat, intending to put it on Joey.

But before she could do that, someone had already put on a coat on

Joey's shoulder.

"Mr. Jimenez." Seeing Roger wrap the coat around him, Joey raised his head and gave him an innocent smile.

"Mr. Jimenez, you shouldn't get wet in the rain. Here, I'll lend you my umbrella.”

Delighted by the kid's concern, Roger smiled and picked Joey up.

“Then, why don't we share the umbrella so both of us won't get wet?"

Joey nodded and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Roger's neck. Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but look at his stubborn father. He actually heard what Victor said just now, and he felt kind of depressed.

When he saw Roger and Rachel, he couldn't help but go downstairs to see what was going on.

Now, Joey could see Victor's pale and miserable face, with blood trickling from his mouth. Before, he told himself that since Victor abandoned him, he couldn't be softhearted. But since Victor had such severe injuries after he saved him, Joey couldn't bear to see his father in such a way.

"Mommy, Mr. Jimenez, aren't we going in yet?" Joey asked softly.
