Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 847

Rachel raised her hand and touched Ethan’s head. She said casually, “You’re now behaving like a devoted woman accusing a fuckboy.”

Upon hearing that, a hint of disdain appeared on Ethan’s face. “No one would be with a person like him who spoils the mood unless they had sinned in their previous life.”

When Rachel heard that, a meaningful smile flashed across her eyes.

She thought, “Someone who had sinned in their previous life….

“This description is quite appropriate.”

“There’s only one material left now,” Lucas said.

“Yes and no.” Ethan looked at Lucas with a faint smile. According to my analysis, I found out that this last substance is synthesized from many substances. According to our current speculation, there are at least ten.”

Hearing this, Lucas’s face suddenly darkened. “This is different from our initial guess.”

It could even be said to have overturned their guess from three years ago.

From the initial four substances to the current synthesis of ten substances, the deciphering cycle had been completely prolonged

At first, Lucas thought that as long as these four substances were deciphered, an antidote could be developed to suppress the poison in Rachel’s body. But now, it seemed there was hope, but it was illusory.

No one knew how long it would take to decipher this synthetic substance and if Rachel could wait until that day. Ethan knew this outcome was unacceptable, but this was just how cruel the reality was.

After pondering for a moment, Ethan said unhurriedly. “Previously, we speculated repeatedly, but we failed repeatedly. To decipher it, we even retrieved thousands of herbs from the database and tested them one by one, but without exception, all the attempts failed.”

There was no progress until Ethan met the legendary Mr. Diekens a few days ago. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sometimes, it seemed that life was unpredictable, but destiny had its own plans.

Wasn’t the present predicament the consequence of past actions?

At the thought of that, Ethan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them. He was a little depressed. “I was careless this time.”

Lucas did not speak. He held a cigarette between his fingers. When his thin lips parted to speak, gray smoke enveloped him. making it impossible to see his emotions. “How long will it take?

“I’m not sure,” Ethan said. “But based on the analysis of the potion that Rae-Rae gave me last time, I found that the potion can effectively suppress the onset of the disease without any side effects.”

This could be considered good news among the bad news.

However…

When Rachel thought of that potion, she could not help but think of Ronnie.

When that potion appeared before Rachel, she thought the other party was plotting something.

She was not trying to judge Ronnie with her narrow-mindedness, but the relationship between Ronnie and David was like oil and water. She could not help but read too much into it.

But now, she felt the need to have a chat with Ronnie.

While Rachel was in a daze, Lucas and Ethan chatred about her engagement to David.

-When Ethan found out about the engagement, he was not too shocked. Instead, he was a bit surprised to find out that Rachel

had agreed to David’s proposal.

You agreed just like that?” Ethan looked at Rachel.

Rachel snapped out of her thoughts. She hesitated for a second before nodding.

Before Rachel could say anything. Ethan said, with disdain, “What’s so good about Aureliana? It’s just a dog-eat-dog place with a group of self-proclaimed noble fools. You could do better than marry David and settle down there.”

Rachel was speechless.

In this world, only Ethan would dare to mock and belittle the people of Aureliana.

After all, in the eyes of others, Aureliana was a good place where every inch of land was worth a fortune.

an engagement. There’s still a long way to go before we get married,” Rachel said.

A hint of mockery flashed across Ethan’s eyes. “You’re already engaged. Getting married is just a matter of time.”

The three of them chatted in the research institute. In the blink of an eye, it was six in the afternoon.

As Ethan watched Rachel and Lucas leave, his expression slowly turned solemn.

His gaze gradually turned to the evening glow in the distant sky, and a trace of absent-mindedness appeared in his eyes. Ethan remembered the fire many years ago. It was as red and glaring as the evening glow tonight.

He thought escaping was the best choice but did not expect it to be just the beginning.

It seemed that no matter how hard he tried to escape, he would always follow the path set out by God and return to the starting point.

There was no way to break free.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, walked to a blind spot in the surveillance camera, and dialed a number.

“I’m the only one at the research institute now.”

After hanging up, he turned around and left.

On the other end, Rachel and Lucas left. Rachel glanced at the time and planned to see Aileen at the hospital.

She had also been looking for a doctor to remove the bullet from Aileen’s body, but things were not as simple as she thought.

Therefore, until a suitable person was found, Aileen had been recuperating in the hospital.

“What are you thinking about?” Lucas glanced at the quiet Rachel

Rachel looked up at Lucas and shook her head gently. “How’s the Grey family?”

“It’s naturally useless to use a mild method to deal with a despicable person like that.” At the mention of Hans, a hint of disgust appeared in Lucas’s eyes. His words were filled with faint ridicule. “The Grey family was sued some time ago because of their factory’s sewage problem. I tried to fan the flames. If Hans wants to save the Grey family, he’d better behave himself.

As long as Hans knew his place, behaved himself, and dealt with the factory’s sewage problem according to the rules and regulations, the Grey family’s difficulties would be easily resolved. If Hans still wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would be courting death.

Therefore, whether the Grey family could survive the ordeal depended on Hans’s choice instead of what Lucas did.

Rachel nodded. “I hope he will learn his lesson.”

Lucas’s eyes were slightly mocking. “To be honest, I didn’t expect him to have the cheek to appear before you.

Even more unexpectedly, Hans could shamelessly talk about his father-daughter relationship with Rachel. Their father-daughter relationship?

Back then, a thinly dressed Rachel was thrown into the snow. Had they not arrived in time, Rachel would have frozen to death.

Back then, Hans treated Rachel that way because he found her a burden.

Now that Hans saw that Rachel had some value, he shamelessly claimed that he was Rachel’s father. He was really shameless to the extreme!

Rachel turned her head to look out the window at the scenery outside. She said unhurriedly. “There are many things in this world that no one can imagine.”

As they spoke, the car arrived at the entrance of the private hospital.

When Rachel arrived at the ward, Aileen was not in the room.

Just as Rachel took out her phone to make a call, Aileen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, appeared in her line of sight.

“Rae-Rac.”

“Where did you go?” Rachel put her phone in her pocket and walked over quickly.

Aileen maneuvered her wheelchair with both hands and said calmly, “I went out for some fresh air. I’m bored to death staying in the room all day.
