Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 656

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.
