Chapter: 3092

Rachel's sickness brought the headstrong father and son together.

Joey waited quietly to ensure he didn't wake her, then began to move his little hands very gently, more cautiously than before.

He tenderly placed his hand in his mother's, offering her his warmth and courage.

In a whisper, he wanted to reassure her that he and his dad would always be there, no matter what.

The boy rested his head against the bed's edge, watching his mother sleep peacefully.
