Chapter: 1257

Joey still around. He walked over to Joey and touched his head.

"It's nothing. Mr. Sullivan has a fever, but don't worry. He already took medicine

Joey snorted.

"I don't care about him. It's better if he becomes a fool because of the fever."

Without looking back, he then walked towards the kitchen.

Roger couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle at Joey's response.

Out of the corner of his eye, however, he noticed Rachel lowering her eyes and holding her wrist with the other hand to cover the harsh red mark.

"There's an ointment in the medical kit Lila took just now. You should apply it on your wrist later," Roger said gently, turning to face her.

"I remember when you participated in the relay race at the sports festival in high school. You tripped because your shoelaces got untied and fell to the ground, scratching your arms. It took a whole month before your wounds healed completely. Your skin is more sensitive than most people's. If you don't apply the ointment, the red mark might stay on your wrist for several days.”

Rachel raised her eyes and found him smiling gently at her. Roger had always been this considerate since she had first known him. He had a good sense of propriety that other people couldn't find fault in.

Rachel took a deep breath and nodded.

After they finished the noodles, the rain outside gradually abated.

Roger took the ointment from Lila and applied it gently to Rachel's wrist.

“Avoid touching water for now, okay?"

“Okay." Rachel withdrew her hand.

Joey was on the sofa with his small face pressed sideways against the cushion. From where he sat, he could clearly see what Rachel and

Roger were doing in front of him. After Roger was done applying the ointment on Rachel, Joey called out to him.

"Mr. Jimenez."

"Hmm?"

"My hand is also red. Please apply some ointment on it too." Joey stretched out his hand and smiled widely, his two front teeth showing.

His hand was not red at all.

Rachel immediately realized Joey was only playing around to tease them. She leaned forward and gave him a flick on the forehead.

“You are so naughty."

Joey just playfully stuck out his tongue at her.

Roger couldn't help his smile. He walked over to Joey and took his hand gently.
