Chapter: 846
After a brief pause, Victor replied, “Yes.”
“Is there a person you like then?" Joey asked straightforwardly.
Victor sighed, leaned back, closed his eyes, but didn't answer. Joey stood by the bed and waited for a while. He actually didn't know why he asked this question, but his heart told him that he wanted to know Victor's answer.
In the past two days, Joey always dreamed of the scene where Victor protected him from bullets by holding him in his arms, and the moment when Victor was stabbed for protecting his mother.
Joey was a little hesitant to ask again, afraid that he might anger
Victor.
He just stayed silent, but there was no reply for a long time.
Looking at Victor's face, Joey mustered his courage.
"Mr. Su-"
"Yes," Victor replied and slowly opened his eyes.
"However, I lost her a long time ago."
Since Victor had just undergone an operation and needed to rest, Joey didn't stay in the hospital for long. Eventually, he left with Carson obediently.
On their way back to Sue Garden, Carson closed his eyes in the back seat to get some rest.
ALL Joey could think about was the sight of Victor leaning against the head of the bed while sadly saying, "I lost her." The look on
Victor's face showed the genuine misery of losing someone very precious. Joey remembered when he found out that the cat he had picked up a year ago suddenly ran away one night and never came back.
He also felt devastated back then, so he could clearly feel Victor's regret and affection.
It turned out that Victor liked another woman that much. Joey just found out that it wasn't Susan, so he couldn't help but wonder who she was. But a voice in Joey's mind kept telling him that this person must be the woman who he was familiar with-Rachel.
However, he didn't have any proof. He really wanted to know, but right now, the only person he could ask was Carson.
Joey turned his head to look at Carson. Seeing his resting face, he frowned and hesitated to disturb him.
“Little guy, why are you staring at me like that? Did you suddenly realize that I'm more handsome than Victor?" Carson slightly opened his eyes and grinned.
The truth was from the moment they left the hospital, Carson already noticed that something seemed to bother Joey. But he also knew how shrewd Joey was, so he deliberately kept quiet and waited for Joey to make the initiative.
"Oh yes, I actually realized that all of a sudden," Joey answered sarcastically as he winked his eyes.
"You cheeky brat..." Carson was teased again. He couldn't believe that a mere child could make him speechless.
He then gritted his teeth, pretended to be angry and said, "I see.
I thought you wanted to ask me something. Well, I actually planned to answer whatever your query is, but I suddenly changed my mind."
