Chapter: 1297

"Hi!"

Rachel stroked Joey's head and looked into Roger's eyes, smiling.

"Is Joey going to the hospital for his medical examination this afternoon?" Roger asked.

“My sister has been busy with surgeries these days. My mother is really worried about her and she asked me to bring something to my sister. Maybe we can go to the hospital together."

Rachel stepped away from Joey so she could lift him and sit him on the chair. She then sat next to her little boy, an arm around his shoulders.

Joey looked up at Rachel, anticipating his mother's answer. Of course she knew what was on Joey's mind. She gingerly pinched his nose and then glanced at Roger.

"Yeah, that's a good idea," she said good-humoredly.

After they had lunch, Roger and Joey worked on a jigsaw puzzle. They were so engrossed in fitting puzzle pieces together that they didn't notice that a couple of hours had already passed. By this time, they had fairly completed the jigsaw picture.

By mid-afternoon, Rachel and Roger, with a very excited Joey, headed for the hospital.

The Bentley stopped in the open-air parking lot of the hospital. The three got out of the car. Roger carried Joey and walked towards the gate of the outpatient building. Rachel walked with them side by side.

“Uncle!" It was a sweet voice that called out to Roger. It came from a little figure in Light yellow who was walking towards them.

With one hand around Roger's neck, Joey turned his head so he was able to see a girl with a chubby face. She was now standing in front of them.

Joey looked her up and down, and the girl did the same.

“Why, Riley, you're here!" greeted Roger, smiling at her as he put

Joey down.

Riley smiled and walked over to Joey.

"Oh, you're so cute! You're like a doll."

Joey felt a bit uncomfortable so he instinctively reached out to grab

Rachel's hand.

Riley followed Joey's movement so that she saw Rachel. Her eyes lit up.

“Auntie! We meet again."

The last time Riley and Rachel met was at the banquet. It was their first meeting after four years. It was a brief meeting. They didn't see each other well because the light was dim and the view was blurred.

"You still remember me?" asked Rachel. She remembered that Riley was then having an allergy attack. Rachel carried Riley to the Lounge on the second floor. The little girl was so much in pain that she was oblivious to the people around her. This was why Rachel was a bit surprised when Riley recognized her.

Riley held Roger's hand and smiled at Rachel. Her smile revealed her dimples and she looked sweeter and lovelier.

"Of course, I remember you. It's pretty hard not to remember you even if I don't want to."
