I came here to meet someone and just happened to run into Lukas,” Rachel explained tersely
Carson glanced at Victor from the corner of his eye. Carson smiled and said, “I see. I thought you knew
Joey caught a cold and came to the hospital to see him.”
At first, his words seemed harmless.
However, Rachel was not stupid. She understood what Carson meant. Although she said she came to
visit an acquaintance, he assumed she was here to see Victor. 2 Rachel glanced away, lowered her
eyes, and didn’t explain further. When Victor heard Rachel’s words, his eyes darkened.
Carson had misunderstood, but Victor knew Rachel would never come to the hospital to see him. She
wanted to stay as far away as possible from him. Then how could she come to see him? But who did
Rachel come to see at the hospital?
First, the person was a patient or a staff member in the hospital. Secondly, that person was Rachel’s
acquaintance.
A name immediately flashed through Victor’s mind. Roger!
Clara was now the Incare General Hospital’s VP, and she shared a good relationship with Rachel.
Although the news about Rachel being alive wasn’t made public yet, it was widely discussed in the
upper-class circles of Apliaria. Therefore, if Roger knew that Rachel was still alive he would meet
Rachel through Clara’s help.
Roger and Rachel!
The image of them standing together flashed through Victor’s mind. His heart seemed to be squeezed
by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe and the veins on his neck bulged.
It was obvious that Rachel didn’t know what was going on in Victor’s mind and didn’t notice his
emotional change.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lukas entered after buying porridge for Joey.
“Mr. Sullivan! Mr. Scott!” Lukas was stunned to see Victor and Carson. He looked at Rachel standing by
the bed and was surprised. “Miss Bennet?”
Rachel nodded.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. This time it was a nurse. She reminded them, “It’s time
for the patient to be taken for a CT scan. You can take him to the lab.”
“CT Scan?” Carson was puzzled.
“Didn’t you say that Joey had just caught a common cold?” Lukas rushed to explain, “Yes, it’s just a
slight cold. But, I’m also a bit worried, so I asked them to do a thorough check-up.”
Carson nodded slightly to show that he understood.
“Okay, then… Mr. Sullivan, can I take Joey for his examination?” Lukas looked at Victor, who had been
silent the entire time. He realized that Victor was in a bad mood, so he asked as carefully as possible..
“Is it okay?” Victor just nodded his consent. Lukas understood and walked to the bed.
“Joey, let’s go…”
“No! I won’t!” Joey yelled. He dodged Lukas’s hand and threw himself into Rachel’s arms. He was
afraid that she would leave as soon as he left this room.
“Joey?!” Lukas was stunned to see Joey behave in such a manner. He had never known Joey to be so
close to anyone these days. Joey hid his face in Rachel’s arms and didn’t say anything, Rachel knew
her son well and knew what he was thinking. She touched Joey’s forehead. Although his fever had
subsided, he still seemed warm. His eyes were dull, and his face was pale. Rachel’s heart ached.
“Don’t worry. Go with Lukas. I won’t leave. I’ll be waiting for you here,” Rachel said gently.
