Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 351

Joey silently held onto Rachel’s finger as if his life depended on it. Such action made Rachel know that he was still worried.

Therefore. Rachel gently touched his head and bent down to level Joey’s eyes. Then, she raised her other hand and slightly crooked her little finger. “Let’s make a pinky agreement.”

Joey’s eyes lit up when he heard these words. He excitedly hooked his little finger to Rachel’s, and said in a serious tone, “You can’t go back on your promise.”

“If I go back on my promise, I will become a puppy,” Rachel replied with a smile. It had been their tradition to make a pinky agreement. Joey believed in it more than he believed in Rachel’s verbal promises because she had never broken a pinky agreement, not even once. Back then, the other children of in the alliance teased Joey for this reason. They laughed at him and said that even signed contracts could be breached. So pinky agreements weren’t credible at all.

But no matter what they said, Joey kept believing in pinky agreements. It was started by Abby and Rachel. How could he not believe?

The three guys had different thoughts as they watched Rachel and Joey had their moment. Luke was still in shock, while Carson seemed to be in deep thought. He touched his jaw with his thumb, squinting his eyes as if he found something interesting.

On the other hand, Victor remained expressionless.

Ultimately, Joey agreed to do the examination with Lukas. Carson smiled and excused himself, saying that he would go out for a smoke. Just like that, Rachel and Victor were left alone in the ward.

She also checked the time on her phone every once in a while to see how long it had been since Joey left the ward.

Her ringtone suddenly broke the silence in the ward, saving her from an awkward situation.

Rachel sighed in relief as she looked at Andy’s name flashing on the screen of her phone. Without hesitation, she answered the phone and walked to the balcony,

“Miss Bennet, are you still at the hospital?” Somehow, Andy’s familiar’s voice helped Rachel calm down even just a little.

The wind blew her hair as she stood before the railing. From where Rachel was, she could see the entrance of the in -patient department. Her eyes fell on the people coming in and out of the building.

“Yes, I’m still here,” Rachel replied calmly. No one could possibly guess that she wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be. When Rachel learned that Jack fainted and he might have lung cancer, she didn’t panic at all. And when she saw Joey crying hard for the first time, she was flustered but still calm. Right now, all her thoughts were a mess, and she was somewhat upset.

And it was all because of Victor’s presence.

“How’s Joey’s cold? What did the doctor say?” Andy asked. “He’s fine. He just caught a slight cold.” As Rachel spoke, she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, ending her words with a smile. “That’s good.” There was a brief silence before he added, “But Miss Bennet, it’s not a good idea for Joey to stay in
