Chapter 445: Chapter 446: Joey’s Whereabouts In the Sue Garden

The silence was broken by a sudden ringing of phone, disrupting the thoughts of the three people in the living room.It was Roger’s.When he saw the caller ID, he glanced at Rachel and Andy before walking away to answer the call.

"Okay, I see."

After listening to the report of the man from the other end of the line, Roger’s expression shifted.

The call had ended, but it took a while for him to process the news At this time, Quintin had finally found out where the commercial vehicle was and the possible hiding place of the three mercenaries As soon as Rachel received the location, she immediately closed her laptop and stood up to leave, completely ignoring her injured ankle.

The message pop up on the screen caught Andy’s attention, but he didn’t get the chance to read it because Rachel acted fast, "Miss Bennet, where are you going?"

Only when Rachel took a step did she feel the pain in her ankle.

The pain made her wince, but she ignored it.

"I know where Joey is." Andy was stunned.

Having no intention of explaining further, Rachel took another step towards the door.

This was when Roger came back.

When he heard what Rachel said, he subconsciously looked down at her swollen ankle.

Thinking about the phone call he just received, he hesitantly held Rachel’s wrist.

"Rachel."

Rachel looked up at Roger in confusion.His troubled eyes somehow made her feel more worried.

No matter what, Rachel was determined to find Joey.

She tried to withdraw her hand when she heard Roger say, "The rain is too heavy outside.It’s not safe to drive on the countryside road.How about…"

"How did you know it is the countryside road?"

Rachel was smart enough to catch a clue from Roger’s words.

Glancing at the phone in his hand, Rachel asked, "Have you received any news? Is it about Joey?"

Roger only looked at Rachel and didn’t say anything.

Hearing their conversation, Andy walked up to them and asked in a worried tone, "Mr.Jimenez, do you know something? How is Joey now?"

"No…"

The glimmer of hope in their eyes made it difficult for Roger to relay the news.

"I just said it casually.After all, if they were in the urban area, our people should be able to find them soon."

"That’s right."

Andy fell for Roger’s lie.

On the contrary, Rachel didn’t completely believe his explanation.

There was a loophole in Roger’s explanation, and it made her anxious.

She wanted to rush out and save Joey right away.

Thinking of this, she ignored Roger’s explanation and bypassed him.

"Rachel."

Once again, Roger caught Rachel’s wrist.

Although she understood why he wouldn’t let her go, Rachel still couldn’t help but feel a little angry at Roger for stopping her.

"Mr.Jimenez, if you’re afraid of being in danger, you don’t have to come with me.I can go there by myself."

Her cold tone left Roger astonished.

Roger didn’t expect that Rachel would misunderstand him.

"Rachel, that’s not what I mean."

"Well, I don’t care about what you’re trying to say.All I know is that my son is out there and he needs me! I’m the one who gave birth to him.His life mattered to me more than mine! Do you understand? I can’t just sit here and wait as calmly as you.My son is in the hands of kidnappers who wouldn’t even blink when they kill people.If you think it’s too dangerous for you to go out there, I understand.After all, Joey is just my child.I have no right to ask others to do anything."

"Rachel, do you really think I’m a coward?" A bitter smile appeared on Roger’s face.

‘No," Rachel answered inwardly.

To be honest, she knew that Roger was just worried about her safety.He wasn’t a coward at all.

But Rachel really didn’t have time to explain it now, so she pursed her lips and moved aside, determined to leave.

The thunder rolled once more.

And the lightning flashed outside the window.

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate, Andy thought for a while and said, "Miss Bennet, the rain is too heavy outside.Besides, I think Mr.Jimenez is just being reasonable.If we go there at this time, it may alert those people.What can we do against them? Maybe we should call the police and let them…"

The moment Rachel turned around to meet his eyes, Andy immediately stopped talking.

"Mr.Jimenez, please get out of the way." It seemed the Rachel wouldn’t give up.

"Rachel…"

After a while, Roger finally let her go.

Rachel endured the pain in her ankle and walked towards the door.

Conflicted, Roger closed his eyes.

Just as Rachel was about to walk out of the door, he spoke again.

"Rachel, you don’t have to go."

Even so, Rachel didn’t stop.

Roger turned around to look at Rachel’s back as she walked out.

"I just received the news that the three mercenaries were dead.Carson and Victor have found Joey."

These words finally halted Rachel.

Delighted by the news, Andy asked, "Well… Did you mean that Joey have been saved? Isn’t it a good thing? Oh, my God! Joey is safe!"

As he looked at the relieved smile on Andy’s face, Roger felt even more conflicted.

Unlike Andy, Rachel was still not relieved.She clenched her fists and turned around to face Roger.

"You still have something to say, don’t you?"

"I…"

"Just tell me.I can stand it."

Trying her best to calm down, Rachel continued, "Is Joey hurt? Is he severely injured? What happened to him?"

In fact, even if Roger didn’t say it, Rachel already had a feeling that something like this might have happened.

Mother and son could feel each other’s experience.

Rachel used to sniff at that.It was not until she really became a mother that she knew it was true.

Every time Joey was hurt, Rachel could feel it.She was mentally prepared.

The worst result was that Joey was seriously injured.

But it didn’t matter.

She knew so many international authoritative experts.

As long as Joey was still alive, she would definitely think of a way to cure him.

Even if Joey’s injuries couldn’t be cured; she would still be with him.

"Joey is injured? Mr.Jimenez, what happened to him? Is he in the hospital now?"

The smile on Andy’s face gradually disappeared.

Meanwhile, Roger felt like his heart was in his throat.

This was the first time that he felt it so hard to speak out about something.

In the end, he walked up to Rachel and warned her, "Rachel, promise me that no matter what I’ll say next, you will remain calm."

"I… Okay."

"Victor arrived before Carson and his men.My men said he killed the three mercenaries, but they don’t know the specific situation yet."

Looking straight into Rachel’s eyes, Roger continued, "When they arrived, there was an explosion on the second floor.Victor and Joey were on the second floor at that time."
