Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Maybe it was because he was still sleepy and tired, but Victor fell back to sleep right away. Rachel stayed by his side and watched him sleep for a few minutes. 

After ensuring that he was deep in sleep, she walked out of the ward. She went straight to the nursing station and asked them to look after Victor while she was away

 After that, she proceeded to head back to Joey’s ward. Arriving at the door, she pushed it gently. Through the slightly opened door, she could already see Joey asleep in the bed. 

On the sofa, Roger was sitting while looking down at his phone, probably texting someone. Rachel walked in and closed the door behind her.

Hearing the slight noise, Roger raised his head and saw her coming in. “Rachel,” he called out silently, putting his phone away

Rachel walked over to the bed. She looked down at Joey’s sleeping face and stroked the short hair across his forehead. It made Joey crease his eyebrows slightly. She rubbed the crinkled linings with her fingertips gently. Joey must have felt someone touching him, so he unconsciously smacked his lips. 

Not wanting to wake Joey up, Rachel withdrew her hand. She then turned to Roger and said, “Thank you.” 

Picking up the insulated lunch bag on the side, Roger walked up to her. 

“Joey fell asleep as soon as he was taken here. The doctor came and examined his condition earlier. He said Joey has recovered well.”

 “I see,” Rachel muttered.

Roger looked at her. 

“He hasn’t eaten the millet porridge that my sister cooked for him. I had it put in the kitchen in the meantime to keep it warm. When Joey wakes up, you can ask the nurse to bring it here.” Roger had always been this considerate.

Rachel opened her mouth slightly to thank him when she noticed the look he gave her. Roger intercepted and didn’t let her continue.
