Chapter 828
Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 828
Rachel did not say anything, and her eyes turned cold bit by bit. Her gaze was so sharp as if there was
a knife hidden in the depths of her eyes and it would stab into the othersâ hearts at moment, making the
doctor not dare to act rashly.
The doctor looked at Rachelâs expression and hesitated for a while before saying carefully, âAccording
to our observations, the bullet has been in her body for three years, and sheâs been enduring huge pain
every day Moreover, as she moves during her daily life, the bullet also moves in her body bit by bit. If it
werenât for the medicine and supplementary treatment over the years, she probably wouldnât have been
able to stand upâ
So, ever since Rachel met Aileen. Aileen had been sitting for so long without standing up Was it
because of the bullet stuck in her spine
Rachel took a deep breath and clenched her fists âWhatâs the probability of getting it out?â
The doctorâs face was covered with seriousness when he heard that. He pondered for a moment and
continued, âThe bullet is currently located in her first lumbar spine. If itâs taken out rashly, it will cause
paralysis of the lower limbs below the lumbar spine. Ãn serious cases, it will cause high paraplegia.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire corridor fell into a strange silence.
The doctor said a lot more, but Rachel couldnât remember any of them. All she could remember was
that âIf itâs taken out rashly, it will cause paralysis of the lower limbs below the lumbar spine. In serious
cases, it will cause high paraplegiaâ.
Based on Rachelâs understanding of Aileen, how could such a proud and arrogant person like Aileen
allow her lower body to be paralyzed and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair?
Moreover, with the strength and status of the Skysgate Group. Aileenâs family must have asked experts
from all over the world for advice. However, in the end, they had no choice but to choose conservative
treatment and rely on various medicines to relieve Aileenâs paini
Rachel sat on the chair in the corridor for a long time until the sound of a cup breaking came from the
ward. She suddenly came back to her senses, got up, and rushed in
Aileen twisted her body stiffly and reached out for the cup on the table, but she accidentally knocked it
over.
She pursed her lips after hearing the sound at the door I scared you, didnât [°
It seemed to be an ordinary sentence, yet it contained a deeper meaning
Aileen had tried her best to hide the fact that she was injured, but she did not expect that she would not
be able to hide anything in the end
Rachel pursed her lips and walked forward to pour a cup of water. She asked meaningfully. âIt hurt a
lot, right?â
Because of those simple words, tears welled up in Aileenâs eyes uncontrollably
Aileen raised her hand to wipe the wet corners of her eyes and chuckled âAs expected, Iâm getting old. I
start to be unreasonable just because of such little pain. Back then, when our team of twelve was
together, we had suffered all kinds of injuries, but at that time, it was as if we couldnât feel any painâ
As she talked about the past, Aileenâs pale fare gradually became a little rosy, and the corners of her
lips curled up slightly. âI
felt comfortable and carefree bark thenâ
Rachelâs deep eyes stared at Aileen without blinking. After pondering for a long time, her cold voice
was a little hoarse as she
1. âDid you get injured after I lef
Alleen nodded. She stroked the water cup in her hand gently with her fingertips and said unhurriedly.
âThat day, we suddenly received a mission to escort a batch of medicine at the border. That batch of
medicine was still in the experimental stage and was important to us. That night, we made a plan to set
off
âWe thought that everything was going nothly. We wrcessfully snatched the medicine from the
reactionaries, but we were attacked on the way in the car Gaven and covered for the attack and
retreated, yet we were forced into the minefield. After escaping death, we were attacked on the way I
was unfortunately shot.
Alleen voce berame a little choked, and her grip
the water cup htened involuntarily Her knuckles were pale as if she was trying hard to control the panic
and uneasiness in her heart
The burning feeling of being pierced by a bullet seemed to happen yesterday every time Aileen thought
about it, and her memory was still vivid
After Aileen was injured, she fell off a cliff. For the sake of the overall situation, she took the initiative to
cut off contact with the team. Then, she fell into a coma because she lost too much blood
When Aileen woke up again, she saw her father standing in front of her bed with red eyes
Aileen used her calmest tone to talk about the incident as if it has nothing to do with her. Rachel could
not help but feel sorry for her
Actually, Aileen had taken the bullet for Vulture. Until now, she had never regretted it.
Aileen was just annoyed that she was forced to leave the Red Flame Army before she could even tell
Vulture about her affection for him.
Just as Aileen was lost in her thoughts, Rachelâs voice suddenly sounded in her car. âDoes Vulture
know?â
âWhat?â Aileen was stunned for a moment. She suddenly looked up and met Rachelâs sharp gaze, her
eyes blinking a few times in a daze. She lowered her eyes and looked unnatural, saying half-jokingly,
âIs there a need to tell him? Is he able to
treat me?â
âYou like him and didnât hesitate to take a bullet for him. He should know,â Rachel said.
Upon hearing that, Aileen felt choked as if her heart was being squeezed by something. She held her
breath and looked at Rachel in disbelief.
Aileen thought that she had hidden it well, yet she did not expect Rachel to know everything.
Aileen opened her mouth and tried to control the panic in her heart. âHow how did you tell?â
âBecause itâs written here, Rachel said. She leaned in front of Aileen and pointed at Aileenâs face. âIt
reads I like Vulture here
Upon hearing that, Aileen could not help but raise her hand to touch her face. She lowered her eyes
and muttered to herself, âIs it that obvious?â
Rachel sat back on the chair, crossed her arms, and looked at Aileen with a meaningful smile. âDid you
get drunk on purpose last night?
Aileen didnât expect the topic to be brought up. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. âOriginally,
I mustered up the courage to talk to him, but for some reasonâ¦â
They then slept together in the same bedâ¦.
Youâve done so much for him. Do you want to find an opportunity to confess your love for him?â
âForget it.â Aileenâs lips curled into a bitter smile. âItâs a fruitless matter anyway. Why do I have to
humiliate myself?â Previously, Aileen had mocked Vulture for thinking too much and not daring to
confess. Vulture was afraid that he would not even be able to be friends with the girl he liked after
being rejected.
Now, Aileen was worried about the same thing, so she had not taken action all these years.
Perhaps Rachel did not know what Vulture was thinking, but Aileen did.
âIf you miss the opportunity, I donât know how long youâll have to wait for the next time.â Rachel picked
up an apple and weighed it in her hand. Then, she picked up a knife and peeled the apple methodically.
âOnce he returns to the border, youâll have fewer chances to see him. If he accepts you before he
leaves, his trip will be worth it.â
âDo you think he and I are a good match?â
âOnly you know best whether your shoes fit or not. Why do you care so much?â
