Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 91

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 91

Perhaps the heavens had sensed David’s eagerness for rain, the rain gradually became heavier, and there were faint signs of a storm.

David ran into the car in the rain and successfully drenched himself. He also asked the driver to turn on the air conditioner in the car. As expected, David sensed that his body temperature was a little abnormal in the middle of the night.

David took out a thermometer and measured it. It was 101.3°F.

David got up and threw all the fever medicine and cold medicine the servants had prepared into the toilet bowl to flush them away. Then, David returned to the bed and revealed a satisfied smile.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

After last night’s heavy rain, the air was faintly filled with the smell of grass and earth.

Rachel changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs. When Rachel opened the door, she happened to meet Mrs. Brown who passed by the door.

“Good morning, Miss Grey.” Mrs. Brown greeted Rachel with a smile when she saw Rachel. Sensing that Rachel’s gaze was on the decoction in her hand, Mrs. Brown hurriedly explained, “Mr. Jones was fine yesterday. However, he suddenly had a fever this morning. I think it was probably because he was drenched in the rain last night. I don’t know where the fever medicine at home went, so I brewed some heat–relieving decoction for him first.”

Rachel couldn’t help but be worried. “Have you informed the doctor?”

“Yes.” At the mention of this, Mrs. Brown could not help.but sigh. “But Mr. Jones has never liked to take medicine. I have no choice.”

“Give it to me.” Rachel raised her hand and fiddled with the hair by her ear to hide the unnatural look that flashed across her face.

Mrs. Brown was stunned for a moment. She secretly sized up Rachel, and a fleeting smile appeared in her eyes. “Thank you, Miss Grey.”

Rachel pursed her lips and took the tray with both hands.

After watching Mrs. Brown leave, Rachel turned around and walked toward David’s bedroom with the decoction.

When David saw Rachel, the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and a gentle smile appeared. “Why are you up so early?”

David closed the document in his hand and waved at Rachel.

Rachel took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and walked toward David with the tray. “I heard from Mrs. Brown that you have a fever.”

Rachel placed the tray on the bedside table and raised her hand to test the temperature of David’s forehead with the back of her hand. Rachel frowned slightly. “You didn’t take your medicine?”

“It’s fine.” David pulled Rachel’s hand from his forehead, his fingers caressing the protruding joints of her wrist.

Rachel’s originally slightly cold fingers on David’s palm instantly became hot. Rachel looked at David’s unusually red face and the worry between her brows intensified. “How can you not take medicine?”

As she spoke, Rachel stood up and prepared to get the first aid kit.
