Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Mommy, Don‘t Leave Me Alone! 

Joey lowered his head and pressed his lips into a straight line. After a while, he said in a low voice, “Mommy, I can’t leave now.” Rachel didn’t say anything. “Mommy…” Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Joey thought she was going to be angry. His heart beat fast. He looked up at her uneasily and said, “Mommy, I’m sorry. I… Can I go back a few days later?”

“Why?” Rachel didn’t say anything more and asked calmly. In fact, at the moment she asked, she had a vague guess. Her eyes fell on the dried blood on Joey’s clothes. Joey lowered his head and linked the fingers of his hands together on his stomach, staring at his toes without answering her.

“Joe, you…” Seeing his reaction, Rachel was almost sure. She squatted down and looked at him. After a short hesitation, she asked what she wanted to know most, “Do you want to stay with him?” The two of them knew clearly who ‘he’ was referring to. Joey shook his head in a hurry and said, “Mommy, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean that. I just… I just…” Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Rachel couldn’t bear to see him be like that.

She lifted the corner of her mouth and raised her head to wipe the sweat off his forehead gently, “Don’t worry. Take your time.” “Mommy…” Joey’s eyes suddenly turned red, and his big tears rolled down his cheeks all of a sudden, “I just want to stay here for a few days. He was injured, and he got shot because of protecting me.” ‘Got shot.’ The two words hit Rachel’s eardrum hard.

“If I leave now, I will definitely feel uneasy.” Joey continued, “Mommy, you’ve told me to be grateful and return others’ kindness. I know he’s a bad and annoying man. But if he didn’t want to protect me, he could have avoided it. At least he’s not bad in this matter. In that case, I can’t leave.”

Hearing what Joey said that he even quoted what she had said, she didn’t know what to say for a moment. Could she say that he did a good job? But the man inside the room was none other than Victor. As long as Joey stayed with him for a little longer, it would increase the risk of his identity being exposed. Rachel didn’t want to think about the consequence of being discovered, nor did she dare to think about it.

But could she say that he was wrong? Could she take him away from here by force? If she really did so, this matter would traumatize Joey. She knew her son very well that as long as he was determined to do something, no one could persuade him, just like his scummy father. Rachel looked at Joey with deep eyes, “Are you going to stay here no matter what I say?”
