Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Rachel did not say anything, and her eyes turned cold bit by bit. Her gaze was so sharp as if there was a knife

hidden in the depths of her eyes and it would stab into the others’ hearts at moment, making the doctor not dare to

act rashly.

The doctor looked at Rachel’s expression and hesitated for a while before saying carefully, “According to our

observations, the bullet has been in her body for three years, and she’s been enduring huge pain every day

Moreover, as she moves during her daily life, the bullet also moves in her body bit by bit. If it weren’t for the

medicine and supplementary treatment over the years, she probably wouldn’t have been able to stand up”

So, ever since Rachel met Aileen. Aileen had been sitting for so long without standing up Was it because of the

bullet stuck in her spine

Rachel took a deep breath and clenched her fists “What’s the probability of getting it out?”

The doctor’s face was covered with seriousness when he heard that. He pondered for a moment and continued,

“The bullet is currently located in her first lumbar spine. If it’s taken out rashly, it will cause paralysis of the lower

limbs below the lumbar spine. În serious cases, it will cause high paraplegia.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire corridor fell into a strange silence.

The doctor said a lot more, but Rachel couldn’t remember any of them. All she could remember was that “If it’s

taken out rashly, it will cause paralysis of the lower limbs below the lumbar spine. In serious cases, it will cause high

paraplegia”.

Based on Rachel’s understanding of Aileen, how could such a proud and arrogant person like Aileen allow her lower

body to be paralyzed and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair?

Moreover, with the strength and status of the Skysgate Group. Aileen’s family must have asked experts from all

over the world for advice. However, in the end, they had no choice but to choose conservative treatment and rely

on various medicines to relieve Aileen’s paini

Rachel sat on the chair in the corridor for a long time until the sound of a cup breaking came from the ward. She

suddenly came back to her senses, got up, and rushed in Aileen twisted her body stiffly and reached out for the cup

on the table, but she accidentally knocked it over.

She pursed her lips after hearing the sound at the door I scared you, didn’t [°

It seemed to be an ordinary sentence, yet it contained a deeper meaning

Aileen had tried her best to hide the fact that she was injured, but she did not expect that she would not be able to

hide anything in the end

Rachel pursed her lips and walked forward to pour a cup of water. She asked meaningfully. “It hurt a lot, right?”

Because of those simple words, tears welled up in Aileen’s eyes uncontrollably

Aileen raised her hand to wipe the wet corners of her eyes and chuckled “As expected, I’m getting old. I start to be

unreasonable just because of such little pain. Back then, when our team of twelve was together, we had suffered all

kinds of injuries, but at that time, it was as if we couldn’t feel any pain”

As she talked about the past, Aileen’s pale fare gradually became a little rosy, and the corners of her lips curled up

slightly. “I felt comfortable and carefree bark then”

Rachel’s deep eyes stared at Aileen without blinking. After pondering for a long time, her cold voice was a little

hoarse as she

“Did you get injured after I lef

Alleen nodded. She stroked the water cup in her hand gently with her fingertips and said unhurriedly. “That day, we

suddenly received a mission to escort a batch of medicine at the border. That batch of medicine was still in the

experimental stage and was important to us. That night, we made a plan to set off

“We thought that everything was going nothly. We wrcessfully snatched the medicine from the reactionaries, but we

were attacked on the way in the car Gaven and covered for the attack and retreated, yet we were forced into the

minefield. After escaping death, we were attacked on the way I was unfortunately shot.

Alleen voce berame a little choked, and her grip

the water cup htened involuntarily Her knuckles were pale as if she was trying hard to control the panic and

uneasiness in her heart

The burning feeling of being pierced by a bullet seemed to happen yesterday every time Aileen thought about it,

and her memory was still vivid

After Aileen was injured, she fell off a cliff. For the sake of the overall situation, she took the initiative to cut off

contact with the team. Then, she fell into a coma because she lost too much blood

When Aileen woke up again, she saw her father standing in front of her bed with red eyes

Aileen used her calmest tone to talk about the incident as if it has nothing to do with her. Rachel could not help but

feel sorry for her

Actually, Aileen had taken the bullet for Vulture. Until now, she had never regretted it.

Aileen was just annoyed that she was forced to leave the Red Flame Army before she could even tell Vulture about

her affection for him.

Just as Aileen was lost in her thoughts, Rachel’s voice suddenly sounded in her car. “Does Vulture know?”

“What?” Aileen was stunned for a moment. She suddenly looked up and met Rachel’s sharp gaze, her eyes blinking

a few times in a daze. She lowered her eyes and looked unnatural, saying half-jokingly, “Is there a need to tell him?

Is he able to treat me?”

“You like him and didn’t hesitate to take a bullet for him. He should know,” Rachel said.

Upon hearing that, Aileen felt choked as if her heart was being squeezed by something. She held her breath and

looked at Rachel in disbelief.

Aileen thought that she had hidden it well, yet she did not expect Rachel to know everything.

Aileen opened her mouth and tried to control the panic in her heart. “How how did you tell?”

“Because it’s written here, Rachel said. She leaned in front of Aileen and pointed at Aileen’s face. “It reads I like

Vulture here

Upon hearing that, Aileen could not help but raise her hand to touch her face. She lowered her eyes and muttered

to herself, “Is it that obvious?”

Rachel sat back on the chair, crossed her arms, and looked at Aileen with a meaningful smile. “Did you get drunk

on purpose last night?

Aileen didn’t expect the topic to be brought up. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Originally, I mustered

up the courage to talk to him, but for some reason…”

They then slept together in the same bed….

You’ve done so much for him. Do you want to find an opportunity to confess your love for him?”

“Forget it.” Aileen’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “It’s a fruitless matter anyway. Why do I have to humiliate

myself?” Previously, Aileen had mocked Vulture for thinking too much and not daring to confess. Vulture was afraid

that he would not even be able to be friends with the girl he liked after being rejected.

Now, Aileen was worried about the same thing, so she had not taken action all these years.

Perhaps Rachel did not know what Vulture was thinking, but Aileen did.

“If you miss the opportunity, I don’t know how long you’ll have to wait for the next time.” Rachel picked up an apple

and weighed it in her hand. Then, she picked up a knife and peeled the apple methodically. “Once he returns to the

border, you’ll have fewer chances to see him. If he accepts you before he leaves, his trip will be worth it.”

“Do you think he and I are a good match?”

“Only you know best whether your shoes fit or not. Why do you care so much?”
