Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Alle running for a short distance, Joey finally saw Rachel.

He then quickened his pace and threw himself into her. She embraced him and noticed that there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Why are you in a hurry? Is everything okay? Did something happen?"

"Nope!"

While Joey was embracing his mother, he pressed his forehead against her lower abdomen.

"I was just excited to see you.I missed you, Mommy!"

Rachel was amused to hear him say that she smiled while ruffling his hair.

Joey looked behind her, only to find that Riley and Roger weren’t there.

He looked back at Rachel and asked, "Mommy, where are Riley and her uncle?"

"Roger took Riley to see her mommy.They’ll come find us later.We’ll just wait for him outside," Rachel explained.

Joey nodded in response, held her hand, and followed her out of the hospital.

After taking only a few steps, he glanced back at the place where Carson was standing earlier.

The man was already gone.

Rachel noticed that her son was absent-minded, so she followed his gaze, only to find that there were no other people in the hallway "What’s wrong, Joey?" she asked while stopping in her tracks

"It’s nothing," Joey replied while withdrawing his gaze and looking ahead.

Rachel didn’t buy it, so she just looked at him and crossed her arms.

"Fine, I’ll tell you."

Joey was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to hide anything from his mother, no matter how hard he tried Rachel looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

This time, Joey looked into her eyes and asked, "Mommy, have you really decided to be with Mr.Jimenez?"

The question left Rachel stunned.

After gathering her composure, she asked, "What’s the matter, Joey? Do you not want me to,"

"It’s not like that."

Joey shook his head.
