Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 656
However, over the years, there had been no progress.
The antidote developed could suppress the onset of Rachelâs disease, but it would also bring certain
side effects.
They had changed Rachelâs medicines more than ten times and finally settled with the pills that Rachel
was currently taking.
Ethan looked at Rachel with a troubled expression. âMiss Grey, actually, we have been thinkingâ¦â
Before he could finish, Rachel took off her jacket. âLetâs do it.â
She had just taken a step toward Ethan when Lucas grabbed her wrist. âRae-Rae, the experimental
data is still being tested. I think you donât have to take the risk. If anything happensâ¦â
âBe more optimistic.â Rachel smiled. âWhat if I hit the jackpot this time?â
As she spoke, she gently patted Lucasâs hand and walked into the experiment module.
After she entered the experiment module, Lucas grabbed Ethanâs collar. âBowes, Iâm warning you. If
anything happens to Rae-Rae, Iâll bury you with her!â
âMr. Johnson, youâre the heir to the Johnson family. Why do you look like a bandit?â Ethan pushed his
hand away and looked at him helplessly. âYouâre always threatening me with these same words. Iâm so
tired of it.â
As he spoke, he walked to the main controller and began the experiment.
âMiss Grey, if you feel uncomfortable, give me a heads-up.â
Inside the experiment module, Rachel made an âOKâ gesture with her hand.
Under Ethanâs precise control, needles as thin as hair pierced through Rachelâs skin and started
feeding medicine into her body.
Lucas, who was waiting outside the experiment module, did not show much emotion on his face.
However, his teeth were gritted and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. The bulging veins on his
arms showed how tense he was at this moment.
Finally, the door of the experimental module opened.
With a puff of white smoke, Rachel slowly walked out.
Lucas immediately rushed forward and held her. âHow is it? How are you feeling?â
Rachel stared at him for a moment and suddenly smiled. âI feel great now.â
âThatâs good.â Lucas secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Ethan walked forward and handed the report to Lucas. âThis is the report of Miss Greyâs treatment just
now. Her biographical data is stable. We are one step closer to success!â
Originally, the various stats in Rachelâs body were all increasing, but when they reached a certain level,
they would start to decrease.
If they continued to decrease without medical control, Rachel would die eventually.
Lucas flipped through the report and took out his phone to call Tom.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Rachel was having a nosebleed.
Then, she seemed to have lost all her strength and toppled backward. âRae-Raelâ Lucas grabbed her
quickly.
However, at this moment, Rachelâs vision turned black. She had fallen unconscious completely.
Her body temperature continued to drop. Her skin was sickly pale that it was almost transparent, and
the blood vessels under her skin were vaguely visible.
Meanwhile, David called Rachelâs number, but no one picked up.
He started to have a bad feeling about this.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed his jacket, and strode out.
When Mrs. Brown saw David hurrying around, she explained quickly, âSir, Miss Grey said that she had
to go out for a while. She might not be back tonight.â
âWhen did she leave?â David asked.
His cold tone formed a thin layer of ice in the air as he threw Mrs. Brown the question.
Mrs. Brown panicked and answered. âAbout three hours ago.â
David frowned slightly. A terrifying aura surrounded him.
âIs⦠Is something wrong with Miss Grey?â Mrs. Brown deliberated for a while and asked carefully.
David shot her a glance before striding towards the door.
When Rachel woke up, she found that she was in bed and surrounded by people.
Even Old Mr. Johnson was there.
âRae-Rae⦠Can you hear Grandpa?â Old Mr. Johnson looked at Rachel, who had finally woken. up.
and his muddy eyes were filled with tears. âAre you feeling okay?â
Seeing that Rachel did not speak for a long time, those standing behind Old Mr. Johnson immediately
panicked. They swarmed forward to surround Rachelâs bed.
âRae-Rae, Iâm your uncle.â
âMe too, Rae-Rae!â
âKiddo, Iâm Lucas.â
Looking at everyoneâs nervous expressions, Rachel could not help but laugh. âI just fainted. Itâs not like
I lost my memory.â
âGo to hell. How dare you⦠Ow!â Before Lucas could finish his sentence, the double attack of Tomâs
kick and Old Mr. Johnsonâs crutch made him howl in pain.
Before he could seek justice for himself, Old Mr. Johnson and Adrian spoke in unison, âWhat nonsense
are you talking about!â
It was not easy for Rachel to finally regain consciousness. At this moment, they couldnât bring
themselves to hear anything related to âdeathâ right now.
âRac-Rae, are you hungry?â Old Mr. Johnson changed his serious attitude and turned to look at Rachel
lovingly.
Rachel shook her head. âHow long have I been unconscious?â
Hearing this, the few people in front of her fell silent.
Probably because of how their minds were always in sync, Tomâs voice cracked a little as he answered.
Three days.
To them, these three days felt like years.
Especially when the doctor told them to be mentally prepared, it was very likely that Rachel would-
never wake up. They felt like it was the end of the world.
Fortunately, Rachel managed to turn the situation around and woke up successfully.
Rachel looked at the dark sky outside the window. Davidâs face involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Three daysâ¦
She wondered how he was doing now.
Lucas seemed to have seen through Rachelâs thoughts. âWell, there are so many of us here. Rae-Rae
definitely wonât be able to rest well. Why donât you guys go back first? Iâll stay here tonight to keep her
company.â
âAlright.â Tom nodded. âDad, Iâll take you home to rest first.â
Old Mr. Johnson was already old. If he continued to stress himself out, he would fall sick sooner or
later.
Old Mr. Johnson pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. âAlright.â.
âIâll see you off!â Lucas volunteered and led everyone away.
The huge ward suddenly became empty, leaving only Rachel alone.
After a while, the door of the ward suddenly opened.
âHow did you manage toâ¦â She looked up and saw Davidâs figure. Her words stopped abruptly as she
looked at him in disbelief. âYouâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, David bent down and hugged her tightly.
His hold was so strong as if he would never let go.
Sensing how he was trembling slightly, Rachel slowly raised her hand and patted his back softly. She
said gently, âIâm sorry for making you worry.â
