Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724
Rachel could not help but exclaim.
After a moment of dizziness, Rachel was trapped in David’s arms.
Worried that she would press down on his wound, Rachel did not dare to move. She could only obediently snuggle in David’s arms.
“Go to sleep,” David said lightly.
Rachel looked at David who was right in front of him. His words “Don’t be afraid, I’m here” kept replaying in Rachel’s mind.
His cold and gentle tone was exactly the same as that of the man in Phareborough back then.
And his eyes…
From the first time Rachel saw David, she felt that he was familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.
Until Rachel saw the way David looked at her in the pitch-black tunnel.
Was that him?
Was David the person who protected Rachel all night in Phareborough?
Rachel had originally planned to wait for David to fall asleep before getting up to prepare something digestible to eat. Unexpectedly, as Rachel snuggled in his arms, she unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
However, Rachel did not sleep well.
In her dream, Rachel had once again returned to that rainy night. Corpses littered the ground, and blood slowly flowed down the drain under the rain, forming a bright red river.
The strong smell of blood mixed with the humidity of the rain swept through everyone’s noses.
The drug addict was like a rat hiding in the sewers. Under the catalysis

of the drugs, his expression was dazed, and his eyes flickered with excitement and greed.
Painful moans, panicked shouts, and helpless eyes appeared in front of Rachel’s eyes.
At that moment, Rachel realized that there was no savior in this world. Even if she had extremely high professionalism, she was still not worthy of being a savior.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” the man’s voice said in Rachel’s ear.
Rachel tried her best to open her eyes to see the man’s face clearly, but she could only vaguely see the outline of his face and those bottomless black eyes.
The scene changed. In a daze, Rachel returned to the tunnel where the incident happened tonight.
The tanker truck charged at her crazily, but David’s car shot toward the tanker truck like an arrow. Rachel rushed over desperately, wanting to stop it, but the road in front of her seemed to have no end. No matter how hard Rachel ran, she could not cross the unreachable distance.
The moment when the car and the truck collided, flames soared into the sky.
The scarlet flames reflected in her eyes. For a moment, Rachel couldn’t tell if it was because her heart ached so much that her eyes. turned red.

Rachel did not even see David clearly. She could only see the merciless fire engulf and devour him.
Scarlet blood flowed in front of her feet, and Rachel was so afraid that she suddenly opened her eyes.
What greeted her eyes was David’s face, which was so close to her. David’s unique cold wooden fragrance lingered in her nose.
Rachel heaved a long sigh of relief with lingering fear. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead and temples.
So it was just a dream.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
Rachel looked up at David, who was lying beside her.
David slept soundly. The coldness in his eyes was gone, and his exquisite facial features looked even deeper under the dim light.

Rachel’s fingertips gently traced his eyebrows. Her fingertips landed on his thin lips, and for some reason, Rachel actually leaned forward and kissed him.
The kiss left the moment it landed, light and soft.
Just as Rachel stood up to leave, the man who was originally in a deep sleep suddenly opened his eyes. The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, and David held Rachel in his arms.
The two of them were very close to each other, and their breaths. mingled.
Rachel was caught off guard and met David’s dark eyes.
Uncontrollable surprise appeared in her eyes. “When did you wake
up?” “I was woken up by your kiss.” David’s deep voice was mixed with a hint of h o arseness, which was like the texture of gravel, causing ripples to appear in Rachel’s heart.
An unnatural blush appeared on Rachel’s fair cheeks.
It was rare for Rachel to kiss David secretly, but she was caught red-handed.
There was nothing more embarrassing than this.
Rachel cleared her throat to suppress the ripples in her heart. “Does the wound hurt?” she asked co olly.
David’s dark eyes fixed on Rachel without blinking. His well-defined fingers gently caressed her eyebrows. “Are you worried?”
“Of course!” Rachel deliberately pulled a long face.

Rachel really wanted to pry open David’s brain to see what he was thinking.
What kind of strange brain did David have to ask such a stu pid question?
When David heard this, his hand on her waist tightened, making Rachel even closer to his chest.
Rachel did not dare to struggle, afraid that she would touch his wound. “Don’t move. What if your wound opens, and it causes a second injury?”
“You only worry about me now?” David asked.
Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. “Do you know what you’re saying? What do you mean by I only worry about you now? I’ve always been worried about you!”
Rachel agreed that David was calm and restrained. No matter what, David could maintain a rational and clear state. He would not do anything inappropriate, let alone do anything that did not match his image.
Rachel did not expect that this man would be as unreasonable as now.
“Me too.” David looked at Rachel with an unknowing gentleness in her eyes. “No matter what happens, protecting yourself is the first priority.”
Rachel pursed her lips and suppressed the tears in her eyes. She said in a low voice, “I know.”
Rachel knew that David cared about her and could not bear for her to be hurt slightly.
Rachel was not doing all this because she was pampered. She did not deliberately ignore David’s words.
