Chapter: 1248

Seeing that Roger's hand was reaching for her forehead, Rachel subconsciously dodged it by turning her head sideways.

Roger didn't expect that Rachel would dodge so quickly. His fingertips froze mid-air.

Rachel didn't miss the bitter smile flashing in Roger's eyes. She pursed her lips and rubbed her forehead.

"I'm fine; it doesn't hurt.

But when did you come in? Where is Lila?" Her eyes scanned the kitchen.

“I came in when you asked for the basket." Roger quickly got his act together and withdrew his hand.

“When I asked for the basket..." Rachel thought for a moment then asked, “Have you been here for a while? Then the person who helped me just now..."

“It was me." Roger nodded.

Rachel didn't expect Roger to be here so early.

She moved her lips to say something when the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. Rachel took out her phone, the screen lit up and a message popped up. It was from Carson.

“Rachel, I'm sorry. My car has broken down on the road, so I might arrive a little late. Please take care of Victor for me."

Rachel's temples throbbed. Carson's car broke down? It was her first time of hearing that a Ferrari would break down.

“What's wrong?" Roger asked when he noticed Rachel's countenance had turned sour.

"Nothing. It's a message from Carson, saying his car broke down and he wouldn't be able to take Victor away until a little later."

Rachel frowned. Her intuition told her that Carson did it on purpose, but she couldn't prove it.

Moreover, even if Carson did it deliberately, she couldn't really ask

Victor to leave.

It was still raining outside, and Victor's injuries hadn't fully healed. If she sent Victor away like this, something might happen.

That would certainly cause her a lot of troubles. Also, Joey was the reason why Victor sustained the injuries his body.

Rachel was slightly upset. She felt that she was being taken advantage of.

Roger's eyes darkened as he patted Rachel on the shoulder.

"It's fine.

I'll personally take Mr. Sullivan back to the hospital later."

"Okay." Rachel nodded.

“I'll ask Lila to prepare some fruits and then go upstairs to wake up Joey. You can sit in the Living room."
