Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 656

However, over the years, there had been no progress.

The antidote developed could suppress the onset of Rachel’s disease, but it would also bring certain

side effects.

They had changed Rachel’s medicines more than ten times and finally settled with the pills that Rachel was

currently taking.

Ethan looked at Rachel with a troubled expression. “Miss Grey, actually, we have been thinking…”

Before he could finish, Rachel took off her jacket. “Let’s do it.”

She had just taken a step toward Ethan when Lucas grabbed her wrist. “Rae-Rae, the experimental data is still

being tested. I think you don’t have to take the risk. If anything happens…”

“Be more optimistic.” Rachel smiled. “What if I hit the jackpot this time?”

As she spoke, she gently patted Lucas’s hand and walked into the experiment module.

After she entered the experiment module, Lucas grabbed Ethan’s collar. “Bowes, I’m warning you. If anything

happens to Rae-Rae, I’ll bury you with her!”

“Mr. Johnson, you’re the heir to the Johnson family. Why do you look like a bandit?” Ethan pushed his hand away

and looked at him helplessly. “You’re always threatening me with these same words. I’m so tired of it.”

As he spoke, he walked to the main controller and began the experiment.

“Miss Grey, if you feel uncomfortable, give me a heads-up.”

Inside the experiment module, Rachel made an “OK” gesture with her hand.

Under Ethan’s precise control, needles as thin as hair pierced through Rachel’s 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. “How is it? How are you feeling?”

Rachel stared at him for a moment and suddenly smiled. “I feel great now.”

“That’s good.” Lucas secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Ethan walked forward and handed the report to Lucas. “This is the report of Miss Grey’s treatment just now. Her

biographical data is stable. We are one step closer to success!”

Originally, the various stats in Rachel’s 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. “Rae-Rael” Lucas grabbed her quickly.

However, at this moment, Rachel’s 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 Rachel’s 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, “Sir, Miss Grey said that she had to go out for

a while. She might not be back tonight.”

“When did she leave?” 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. “About three hours ago.”

David frowned slightly. A terrifying aura surrounded him.

“Is… Is something wrong with Miss Grey?” 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.

“Rae-Rae… Can you hear Grandpa?” Old Mr. Johnson looked at Rachel, who had finally woken. up. and his muddy

eyes were filled with tears. “Are you feeling okay?”

Seeing that Rachel did not speak for a long time, those standing behind Old Mr. Johnson immediately panicked.

They swarmed forward to surround Rachel’s bed.

“Rae-Rae, I’m your uncle.”

“Me too, Rae-Rae!”

“Kiddo, I’m Lucas.”

Looking at everyone’s nervous expressions, Rachel could not help but laugh. “I just fainted. It’s not like I lost my

memory.”

“Go to hell. How dare you… Ow!” Before Lucas could finish his sentence, the double attack of Tom’s kick and Old

Mr. Johnson’s crutch made him howl in pain.

Before he could seek justice for himself, Old Mr. Johnson and Adrian spoke in unison, “What nonsense are you

talking about!”

It was not easy for Rachel to finally regain consciousness. At this moment, they couldn’t bring themselves to hear

anything related to “death” right now.

“Rac-Rae, are you hungry?” Old Mr. Johnson changed his serious attitude and turned to look at Rachel lovingly.

Rachel shook her head. “How long have I been unconscious?”

Hearing this, the few people in front of her fell silent.

Probably because of how their minds were always in sync, Tom’s 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. David’s face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Three days…

She wondered how he was doing now.

Lucas seemed to have seen through Rachel’s thoughts. “Well, there are so many of us here. Rae-Rae definitely

won’t be able to rest well. Why don’t you guys go back first? I’ll stay here tonight to keep her company.”

“Alright.” Tom nodded. “Dad, I’ll take you home to rest first.”

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. “Alright.”.

“I’ll see you off!” 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.

“How did you manage to…” She looked up and saw David’s figure. Her words stopped abruptly as she looked at him

in disbelief. “You…”

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,

“I’m sorry for making you worry.”
