Chapter: 1260

“Miss Bennet, I can see that Mr. Jimenez really cares about you."

"Really?" Rachel looked away and answered perfunctorily.

"Yes. In fact, anyone can notice that. He's also handsome, and Joey likes him a lot." Lila looked at Rachel's expressionless face.

"Miss

Bennet, I've already experienced a lot of things. I will be frank with you and say that I've seen all kinds of men. And I am confident that Mr. Jimenez is really a good man."

At this time, Rachel turned her head and looked straight into Lila's eyes. As though she had somehow regained her senses, she smiled and said, “Alright, Lila. I know exactly what you want to say."

“I see. Then-"

“For now, can you please go upstairs and check on Victor to see his condition?" Rachel interrupted Lila, knowing what she would say next.

She actually didn't want to talk about it, so she made an excuse.

Lila was sensible enough to understand what Rachel meant. She smiled, nodded, and did as Rachel told her.

Late at night, Rachel sat on the sofa in the living room with heavy eyelids. Her elbow was leaning against the armrest, and her hand was grabbing her temples.

Half an hour ago, Roger sent her a message informing her that Riley was fine, and the cause of the food poisoning in the kindergarten was finally found out. Apparently, the staff working in the kitchen had bought a new batch of mushrooms, some of which were poisonous.

The chef didn't notice the poisonous ones and cooked them.

Although Riley didn't really like eating mushrooms, she wasn't a picky eater. In the end, she ate a little.

It was fortunate that she only ate a little. Otherwise, her condition could have gotten serious. After receiving an intravenous drip, she felt much better. Nonetheless, the doctor suggested that she should still stay in the hospital for another night for further observation.

Rachel texted Roger back, telling him to take good care of Riley.

Afterward, she tried calling Carson. Earlier, Carson answered his phone, but he said that he was still busy with his work. Rachel sensed that he just didn't want to fetch Victor. This time, when she tried contacting him, Carson rejected the call.

On her third try, Carson's phone was already turned off, and she had no way of contacting him anymore.

Rachel felt her temples throb. She shook her head, knowing that

Carson did this on purpose. He told her earlier that his car broke down. Now, his phone was turned off. It only meant that he wanted to let Victor stay here.

After Lila checked on Victor, she saw that Joey had finally fallen asleep. She came downstairs, carrying the half glass of milk that

Joey wasn't able to finish. Downstairs, Lila heaved a sigh when she found Rachel looking very tired.

"Miss Bennet, it's already eleven o'clock. You have been busy all day, so you'd better go upstairs and sleep already."

"Yes. I guess so too..." Rachel replied in a low voice. Although she was indeed sleepy, she didn't think she would be able to fall asleep that easily since her mind was in a mess.

Most importantly, she was frustrated at herself for not knowing the reason why she was upset.
