Joey was walking to the door, but when he overheard them; he immediately turned around and asked.
"What medicine?"
Rachel glanced at her son briefly before responding to Roger, "Yes, he did."
"That’s good."
Roger nodded as if understanding that Rachel didn’t want to answer the question about the red mark on her wrist with Joey still
around.
He walked over to Joey and touched his head.
"It’s nothing.Mr.Sullivan has a fever, but don’t worry.He already took medicine."
Joey snorted.
"I don’t care about him.It’s better if he becomes a fool because of the fever."
without looking back, he then walked towards the kitchen, Roger couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle at Joey’s response.
Out of the corner of his eye, however, he noticed Rachel lowering her eyes and holding her wrist with the other hand to cover the
harsh red mark.
"There’s an ointment in the medical kit Lila took just now.You should apply it on your wrist later," Roger said gently, turning to
face her.
"I remember when you participated in the relay race at the sports festival in high school.You tripped because your shoelaces got

untied and fell to the ground, scratching your arms.It took a whole month before your wounds healed completely.Your skin is
more sensitive than most people’s.If you don’t apply the ointment, the red mark might stay on your wrist for several days."
Rachel raised her eyes and found him smiling gently at her.
Roger had always been this considerate since she had first known him.He had a good sense of propriety that other people
couldn’t find fault in.
Rachel took a deep breath and nodded.

After they finished the noodles, the rain outside gradually abated.
Roger took the ointment from Lila and applied it gently to Rachel’s wrist.
"Avoid touching water for now, okay?"
"Okay."
Rachel withdrew her hand.
Joey was on the sofa with his small face pressed sideways against the cushion.
From where he sat, he could clearly see what Rachel and Roger were doing in front of him.
After Roger was done applying the ointment on Rachel, Joey called out to him.
"Mr.Jimenez."
"Hmm?"
"My hand is also red.Please apply sointment on it too."
Joey stretched out his hand and smiled widely, his two front teeth showing.His hand was not red at all.
Rachel immediately realized Joey was only playing around to tease them.

She leaned forward and gave him a flick on the forehead.
"You are so naughty."
Joey just playfully stuck out his tongue at her.
Roger couldn’t help his smile.He walked over to Joey and took his hand gently.
"Is it red? Letsee."
Joey was stunned for a moment.He didn’t know Roger would take it seriously.He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and his face
reddened.He immediately withdrew his hand from Roger’s hold.
"It’s not."

"Okay," Roger said, letting go of Joey’s wrist.
It was getting dark outside.
Roger looked at the tand glanced out of the window.
The rain had finally stopped.
Lila opened the window slightly, and the cold wind blew in, making the air in the living room less stuffy.
"It’s getting late.I’ll go upstairs to check if Mr.Sullivan is awake so I could take him to the hospital," Roger offered.
Rachel nodded.
Roger turned to go upstairs, but he suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he looked at Rachel carefully.
"Do you want to go upstairs with me?"
"I... No.I won’t go."
Rachel pressed her lips together and felt awkward.
Roger waited for a few seconds.
When Rachel didn’t change her mind, he nodded and continued to walk towards the stairs.
Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone filled the living room.
