Chapter: 1253

“Oh, that's... Mr. Jimenez, you're our guest. I can't bother you with that task. I'll cook for both of you," Lila said quickly.

“It's alright, Lila. I want Rachel to taste my cooking," Roger said with a smile.

"I feel bad. I'm the one who asked you to stay. I was planning to cook for you," Rachel said helplessly.

“Don't worry about it. You can cook for me in the future. I'm sure there will be plenty of chances.

"You give Mr. Sullivan medicine first, and I'll get started with the noodles," Roger said gently.

He paused for a moment as if he was afraid Rachel would refuse. He smiled at Lila and continued, “Lila, despite my bold statement about cooking, I'm actually not good at it. I'm not sure if Rachel would like the food I cook. Maybe I need you to help me."

Lila knew Roger was pursuing Rachel. She had sensed it from the moment she saw him look at her.

He didn't hide his feelings for Rachel but instead expressed them openly.

Lila could tell that Roger really cared about Rachel. He was a kind man with good nature. He was very polite and respectful to other people. She Liked Roger very much and believed he and Rachel were a perfect match.

Hearing what Roger said, Lila smiled and replied, "Mr. Jimenez, you're too modest. Of course, I'll do what I can to help you.”

They chuckled before excusing themselves. Rachel didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Soon, the door was closed. Rachel looked down at the glass of water in her hand and turned to Victor again.

Victor's eyes were closed. His striking features remained the same despite looking frail and sick. He had dashing brows and a pointed nose as if God had given him the best of everything. He appeared weaker and less powerful because he was in a vulnerable state. It seemed that it was no longer difficult for people to get close to him now.

Rachel moved closer and attempted to put the pill in Victor's mouth.

However, as expected, Victor kept his mouth shut. The pill was neither big nor small, but Rachel couldn't make him swallow it.

Worried, she pursed her lips and stared at the pill in her hand.

She eventually broke the pill into two pieces and pinched Victor's cheeks. She stuffed half of the pill into his mouth and followed it up by making him sip water. But he still didn't swallow.

Seeing that Victor was about to spit out the pill again, Rachel leaned closer to his lips.

Rachel's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She opened her eyes and pressed her pink lips against Victor's.

Slowly, she let the water in her mouth stream into his to stop him from spitting out the pill.

It was the first time she had such a close look at Victor.

Her heart beat slowly at the thought.

It boomed in her ears so loudly that she couldn't believe it was hers.

Rachel didn't know how much time had passed before the water in her mouth was all gone. Subconsciously, Victor swallowed the water along with the pill.

Rachel looked away and tried to calm herself down. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Victor opened his eyes. His dark orbs stared at her and pulled her in just like always.
