Chapter: 890
Victor's quick shift of subject and mention of Kairi just now were intended as a form of retaliation against him for teasing him.
Victor must have been a crafty one!
"My guys discovered that on the day Odin was assaulted, there was a
36-hour operation in No. 3 operating room of the public hospital in
Plimpton, and the top physicians from all departments assembled in that operating room."
Because Joey's examination results would come the next day, he stayed for one more night in the hospital.
Since Rachel had promised to stay and take care of Joey, she also spent the night at the hospital.
Since it was winter and the wind was chilly, Rachel closed the balcony door and walked quietly toward the bed. She saw that Joey was fast asleep. As her forehead furrowed in worry, she touched his forehead to check his temperature. After that, she tucked the quilt properly around him.
Perhaps because Joey was ill, he fell asleep before nine o'clock.
When Rachel checked the time on her phone, it was just past ten. She spent almost the entire day in the hospital. Once the results were out tomorrow morning, Rachel would go back with him to Sue Garden.
She had to go back home now to pack some clothes.
As Rachel thought about this, she stood up and walked out of the ward.
As soon as she left the room, she met Lukas who was bringing Joey some toiletries. Lukas smiled gently.
"Miss Bennet, where are you going?"
Rachel looked at the bag in Lukas' hand and said, "Well, Joey has gone to sleep. So I thought I would go and get something."
"Joey has gone to sleep?" Lukas was surprised that Joey had gone to sleep so early. But then he found it normal since the little boy was ill. He looked toward the door and sighed.
"It's the first time I have seen Joey so happy since he started living at Sue Garden."
The entire afternoon, Joey followed Rachel around like a Lost puppy.
It seemed he was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Rachel couldn't help but think that this was the first time that
Joey relied on her so much.
"Is it?" Rachel's face softened as she smiled.
“I can see that he really likes you. It's great that you agreed to move back to Sue Garden to take care of him," Lukas said happily.
Rachel just continued to smile and said nothing.
She was relieved that Lukas was here. That way, she could go back home to pack her things.
