Chapter: 1240
The three of them had been locked in a situation that wouldn't really lead anywhere. Due to the rain getting stronger, it was not a good idea to go on like this.
Realizing that Joey made sense, Rachel pursed her lips and looked at
Victor.
"Can you walk?"
With his eyes on the ground, and his whole body dripping wet, Victor looked very pitiful. Hearing Rachel's words, Victor looked up, revealing his long eyelashes with drops of water hanging on them. In a deep and low voice, he answered, "Yes."
“Then, let's go inside for now. I've sent Carson a message and asked him to pick you up as soon as possible." Rachel's face remained expressionless. As she turned around, she noticed that Roger's clothes were also drenched. Hence, she paused in her tracks and told him, "Lila made some ginger soup. Let's go in and have some."
Carrying Joey in his arms, Roger nodded.
They were just fine when they came out. But when they went back, everyone was soaked in rain.
As soon as Lila returned inside the house, she went to the kitchen.
"I've just finished cooking the ginger soup, so it's still a little hot. Be careful not to be scalded when you have some." Then, Lila brought the ginger soup to the people sitting in the living room one by one.
There was only one bowl left, which was intended for Victor. Lila picked it up carefully and was about to hand it over.
“No, Lila!"
“Wait.”
Two people spoke at the same time.
Hearing this, Lila was quite startled. Then, she looked at Joey and
Rachel in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Lila asked with furrowed brows.
Joey suddenly pursed his lips, acting a little unnatural. On the other hand, Rachel was able to make a straight face, and she was the one to reply first.
"Mr. Sullivan couldn't drink the ginger soup yet since he is injured. You can just pour a glass of warm water for him."
Reminded by Rachel, Lila immediately recalled that Victor spat out blood while they were outside. Although she didn't know why, she could just assume that it was due to an injury. Hence, it was indeed not suitable for him to drink the ginger soup.
"Oh, right. I'm going to get a glass of warm water."
While taking a sip of the ginger soup, Rachel saw that the clothes of Victor and Roger were wet.
She stood up and said to Roger, “Andy has been living here before I came back. He still have his clothes here. You are about the same height and built. Your clothes are dripping wet. I'll get his clothes so that you can change into."
"Okay." Roger smiled gently and didn't refuse.
Rachel was already about to head upstairs. However, after just taking a couple steps forward, Victor coughed again.
