Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 471

Victor’s gaze shifted to Joey after hearing that.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s gaze lingered on Victor’s brow, as if she were attempting to decode his thoughts.

Carson claimed that Victor lost his memories and could only recall her, implying that he had forgotten about Joey.She thought it was odd and couldn’t believe that Victor had completely lost his memories.She searched for evidence that Victor was lying, but she came up empty-handed.She watched him closely to see how he would react as Joey called him Daddy.

Joey likewise stared at him uneasily, but Victor gave him barely a minute of his attention before looking away.

"Okay, you make the call," he said, looking back at Rachel.

He was disinterested in Joey.

Rachel was a bit stunned and reflexively glanced at Joey.

She saw Joey’s frown and pursed lips as she looked at him.It dawned on him that maybe he was speaking too softly, so he lifted his voice and yelled out again.

"Daddy."

Victor re-examined him and inquired with a grimace, "Who are you?"

Joey was baffled by these three words, What was he trying to say? There were a number of things running through Joey’s head in a matter of seconds.

Could Victor be pretending to be unaware of his identity? Why would that be the case? Was it motivated by a reluctance to accept him as his son? Joey’s eyes clouded as he contemplated this.

Rachel, of course, knew exactly what was going through Joey’s head.

She approached him, put a hand on his shoulder, and called him softly, "Joe…", Because of Victor, she couldn’t talk about it to him right there.

Joey forced a grin on her, but she could see it wasn’t genuine.

"Mommy, I’m alright," he responded, his eyes somewhat crimson.

"Rachel, do you recognize this young man?"

With Rachel putting her hand on Joey’s shoulder, Victor’s gaze became gloomy as he saw their contact.

"This is…"

"Her godson.I’m her godson."

Joey intercepted Rachel just as she was about to complete her sentence.

Godson? Victor had a grimace on his face.

Rachel, too, was astonished and lowered her gaze to Joey.Joey rolled his eyes.He felt despondent as he reflected on Victor’s concise question from just now.He inhaled deeply, and gently pulled on Rachel’s sleeve.

"Mom, I’m ready to return to the ward right now."

Rachel understood Joey was sad and believed Victor did not want him as his son.

Rachel pursed her lips and nodded, "All right, I will…"

"Mr.Jimenez can send me back."

Even though he was upset, Joey did not want Rachel to be concerned about him.He really cared for his mom.

Perhaps more than he did for himself.

After a while, Rachel nodded her head in agreement.

Roger had no idea that Victor’s affection for Joey would suddenly shift.

He didn’t have any business interfering with it because it was a private matter between them.

He turned to face Rachel before proceeding to Joey.

"Well, I’ll take Joe back to the ward where we’ll be waiting for you."

"Thanks a lot."

"Don’t mention it.I’ve already said that I’m eager to assist you at any time."

After a brief delay, Roger turned and addressed Victor.

"Mr.Sullivan, it’s about time we left.Get well as quickly as possible."

He then walked away with Joey.

Slowly, the door closed.

Rachel sighed as she saw Joey.
