Chapter: 979

"I was covered in blood and kept weeping, but no matter how hard I wept, no one came to help me..."

Rachel cradled him close to her chest.

"I bet you can recall what

Mommy told you. The polarity of reality is constantly flipped in dreams. There's nothing to be terrified of, honey. Now you may rest easy. You will not be harmed in any way."

"Mommy, how about you sleep with me this evening?"

“Okay. Rachel made up her mind and decided to schedule an appointment with a psychologist.

"Joey, do you want a new pal?"

Joey's eyes darted to her.

"Who is this new pal, Mommy?"

“A friend of Mommy's," remarked Rachel, pinching his nose.

“I see, a man or a woman?"

“Is that supposed to count?" His question baffled Rachel.

"Just wanted to know." Joey pulled his tongue out and said the words.

He did, however, feel a sense of crisis for Victor. Perhaps, if it were a guy, he might challenge Victor for his affections.

In such a case, it would be far more difficult for Victor and Rachel to reconcile.

Joey sighed quietly to himself. Victor looked to have a long way to go before he could fix things with Rachel.

Rachel had no idea what was going through his head. Because she didn't want Joey to refuse to consult a psychologist, she lied to cover her tracks.

At the hospital

When the elevator finally came to a halt, the doors gently opened.

The indicator light outside the operating room was turned off.

At the same time, Victor walked out of the elevator. Ivan, who had been waiting at the elevator, immediately greeted him, "Mr. Sullivan."

Acknowledging his presence, Victor nodded at him.

The door of the operating room sprang open, revealing the doctor who was taking off his mask. He glanced at the people waiting outside and asked, "Who is the patient's family?"

“I...1 am her mother. Doctor, how is my daughter?" It was Tammy who responded first. She hurriedly approached the doctor with a worried expression. Her gown and hair were both in a mess. Her poise and elegance were gone because of what had happened tonight.

“Mrs. Salazar, your daughter just had a gastric lavage. But don't worry, she's safe now. You just have to wait for about an hour before she wakes up." The doctor took a form from the nurse and handed it to Tammy.
