Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 567

As the saying went, it took a hundred days to recover from a bone injury.

And after a hundred days, the international exercise would have been over long ago.

Moreover, there were many nerve endings in people’s fingers. No one could guarantee Oscar’s situation after

surgery.

Therefore, after some discussion, they thought they could only use the most traditional method, the orthopedic

massage to treat Oscar.

The nurse was slightly stunned when she saw Rachel.

Sensing the nurse’s gaze, Rachel turned to look at her and asked, “Is there any problem?”

When the nurse was caught off guard by Rachel’s pure black and white almond-shaped eyes, her heart beat fast

suddenly and her cheeks turned unnaturally blush.

She lowered her head in a panic to hide the shyness in her eyes.

The hospital received a special patient last night. The doctors all said they had no way to cure him.

However, at this moment, Captain Karen said that he had a solution and found an orthopedic massage

expert.

When people heard the word ‘expert’, they would subconsciously associate it with the image of someone over 60

years old with white hair.

But who would have thought that this expert would be an extremely eye-catching woman?

After hesitating for a moment, the nurse explained in a low voice, “I didn’t expect you to be like this.” Rachel raised

her eyebrows. Without a word, she pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. The man’s back was straight

and his back was facing the door. He stood in front of the window, thinking about something.

From where Rachel stood, it was not difficult for her to see that the man’s right shoulder was drooping. Compared

to his left shoulder, his right shoulder was at a different height.

“Mr. Scott, we’ll start treating you now. Please lie back on the bed and cooperate with us,” the young nurse said

gently.

However, Oscar didn’t move as if he did not hear her.

Just as the nurse was about to say something again, Rachel raised her hand and interrupted her. “If you don’t want

to lie back on the bed, you can sit on the sofa.”

Her cold tone was like the cold breeze after the rain, making one’s heart tremble slightly.

Oscar’s body trembled slightly. He turned around stiffly. The moment he saw Rachel, he was stunned on the spot.

His eyes twin kled with a complicated expression, with excitement and joy inside them.

Rachel did not notice the expression on his face. Instead, she walked forward to check on his injuries.

Her fair-skinned fingers pressed on his shoulder with just the right amount of strength. At the same time, she

reached out her other hand to massage his right arm. She massaged it a little and frowned. imperceptibly. “You’ll

feel a little pain. Bear with it.”

With a clear cracking sound, Oscar’s shoulder blade returned to its usual height, but his collarbone….

Rachel stretched her palm and massaged his shoulder blade slowly.

The fracture at the collarbone was not something she could improve through the orthopedic massage.

It needed to be secured with steel nails.

However, this would not affect his subsequent movements much.

Just as she took back her hand, Oscar grabbed her wrist.

The temperature on his palm and the soft touch feeling reminded Oscar that everything in front of him was not an

illusion. It had really happened.

After so many years, he finally saw her again!

Compared to the youth in his memory, she was a little more cold and noble. She was like a white rose blooming

alone on a lonely night. She could be watched but could not be desecrated.

“Does it hurt?” Rachel looked at Oscar calmly.

Oscar nodded, then quickly shook his head. It made him look like a fool.

The nurse at the side saw the sweat on his forehead and subconsciously thought that he was feeling unwell. She

rushed forward to check.

Seeing his ears red, the nurse instantly came to a realization.

So he was shy.

Oscar was an influential figure in the entire military region. Not only did he have excellent training results, but his

performance in actual combat was also outstanding.

However, reality proved that no matter how outstanding a person was, they would be shy when they saw an

outstanding beauty.

However, Oscar knew very well that he was not shy, but excited.

He would never forget the shootout he had suffered when he was studying abroad that year.

He could not forget the feeling of a stray bullet entering his abdomen, nor could he forget that she had rushed in

front of him without being afraid of the danger, calmly and decisively pulling him back from the edge of death.

At that time, she was wearing a camouflage uniform and had short hair that reached her ears. She was

young

but she did not lose the innate valiant.

After getting out of danger, he tried to find out more about her. He wanted to thank her for saving his life. but he

couldn’t find anything.

He had revisited the old place countless times, trying to see that figure again, but she was like a goddess who had

descended from the sky when his life was in danger. There had been no news of her since then as if she had

disappeared from the face of the earth.

All these years, he had never forgotten her.

He did not expect to see her there again!

“Your collarbone needs to be fixed with steel nails. Everything else is fine.” As she spoke, Rachel took back

her hand.

But Oscar’s palm held her wrist tightly.

Rachel frowned slightly and impatience appeared in her eyes. “Let go!”

Realizing that he was being rude, Oscar quickly took his hand back and said, “I’m sorry. I was just excited. I didn’t

mean any harm.”

Rachel did not say anything and prepared to turn around to leave.

“You really don’t remember me?” Oscar hurriedly asked as he watched her leave.

Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Oscar continued, “It’s me. We met in Phareborough five years ago. You saved me back then.”

Rachel looked at him calmly and responded indifferently.

Then, she took her gaze back and turned to walk out.

Chapter 567

The moment she stepped out of the ward door, she was immediately surrounded.

“How’s he?”

“Will it affect his exercise later?”

Questions popped up one after another.

Rachel looked at everyone indifferently and said indifferently. “There’s no problem with his shoulder blade and wrist.

His collarbone needs to be fixed with steel nails, but it’s not a big problem.”

Hearing this, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Oscar was a key sharpshooter they had been training for the past two years. If anything happened to him at this

time, they would have to bear the consequences. Fortunately, he was fine.

The expert of modern medicine at the side sneered. “That’s easy to say. It takes a hundred days to recover from a

bone injury. If orthopedic massage is really so magical, then why do we still need modern medicine?”

It sounded like a casual complaint, but his words were filled with prejudice against orthopedic massage.

Rachel narrowed her eyes and glanced at that person. “Since modern medicine is irreplaceable, why did they go

through so much trouble to ask me to come here? Could it be that they did this to embarrass you on purpose?”

That person’s expression suddenly changed. “You’re just in blind luck. It’s not something you can be proud of!”

“Blind luck also requires ability.” An old and deep voice sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Everyone looked over and saw Boyce sitting in a wheelchair. Their expression turned solemn as they called out

respectfully, “Mr. Hernandez.”

Boyce’s peaceful gaze swept across the people in front of him. After pausing his gaze on Rachel for a moment, he

turned to look at the expert of modern medicine. “Orthopedic massage is a skill left behind by our ancestors. It’s

not much worse than modern medicine.”
