Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After …

Chapter 724 Woke Up

Just as he hung up, another call came in. Coincidentally, this call was also from the hospital.

“Are you Ms. Morgan’s family?”

Chandler responded softly, “What’s wrong?”

“Ms. Morgan has just left the ICU and woke up. She is very weak now, but since she is awake, it means that her life is not in danger anymore. Do you want to see her? She just wrote on my hand. She seems to want to see you.”

Rachel had been in a coma for more than half a month. The doctor concluded that if she couldn’t wake up within three days, she would probably become a vegetable.

Chandler stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out. “Okay, I’ll be there.” As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the office.

In the general ward, Rachel still had an oxygen mask on her face.

Her face was pale due to excessive blood loss. Seeing Chandler come in, Rachel moved her fingers, and her eyes fixed on his face. They told her that it was Chandler who saved her that day.

Chandler walked to the bed. He was relieved when he saw Rachel open her eyes. “I’m glad you woke up. Take some rest.”

“Chandler…” Rachel opened her mouth, but her voice was hoarse.

She had not eaten for a long time and could only rely on nutrient solutions. Her lips were dry and chapped. When she spoke, her throat felt like it was being cut by a blade.

Chandler quickly picked up a glass of water and gently moistened her lips.

Chandler was not the only one who came. During this time, the police station had people guarding around Rachel because she was a victim, and the case was not yet closed; they needed her testimony.

Seeing that Rachel was conscious, the police officer asked, “Ms. Morgan, what happened that day? Who did you see? Can you tell us in detail?”

Hearing this, Rachel gently shook her head. “I don’t remember.”

“You don’t remember?” The police officer was surprised.

Rachel didn’t lie. Sometimes, people’s brains automatically block out bad things. Rachel really didn’t remember what happened that day. She only knew that she suffered a lot and had a kidney taken away. She forgot all the other details. She couldn’t even remember the appearance of the person who assaulted her.

The doctor said, “This is called post-traumatic stress syndrome. Forgetting may be a good thing for the patient. Otherwise, the nightmare-like memories will always haunt her and make her restless.”

Chandler frowned and said, “Then she will never remember it?”

The doctor was ambiguous. “Not necessarily. Maybe one day she will encounter something and remember it again.”

Because Rachel didn’t remember what happened, the police left without any answers.

Chandler ordered someone to buy porridge. Rachel had just woken up and hadn’t eaten for a long time, so she could only start with liquid food.

Rachel didn’t remember what happened that day, but she deeply remembered the feeling of despair. At this moment, she was in a very low mood. Even her eyes were lifeless. After this accident, she was lucky to be alive.

Chandler originally thought that she was seriously injured, and the price she paid this time was too tragic, so he didn’t want to blame her too much. But after thinking about it, he couldn’t help but say, “Christopher came to see you several times during your coma. Rachel, what is your relationship with him?”

Chandler secretly sent people to guard around Rachel and saw that Christopher did come several times.

Hearing this, Rachel was stunned. She opened her mouth but didn’t know how to start. Half a month ago, she not only had one kidney taken away but also had a miscarriage. Chandler must know everything.

Rachel was silent.

Chandler frowned and said, “Do you like Christopher?”

Rachel said firmly, “No! I don’t like him!”

Rachel grabbed Chandler’s hand. “I ran into Christopher after I left your house that day. He took me to his villa, and then…”

Chandler’s face darkened. “He forced you? How dare he? This is rape! It’s a crime! I will make him spend the rest of his life in jail!”

He thought, “Rachel is engaged to Felix. Why would Christopher do this?”

“No!” Rachel said immediately, “This is not a glorious thing, and it’s not good for my reputation. Chandler, forget it.”

“Forget it? You’ve suffered so much, and you want to let it go?” Chandler had always treated Rachel as a sister. She lost her virginity and got pregnant. He couldn’t just let it go.

“I don’t want to have anything to do with the Powells anymore.” Rachel lowered her eyes. “If I sue him, he will be released after being imprisoned for a while at most. What’s the use? Chandler, if you really want to help me, help me break off the engagement with Felix.”

She was equivalent to half a cripple. The sudden change changed many of her thoughts. But the only thing that remained unchanged was that she didn’t want to marry into a hellhole like the Powell family.

Chandler sighed softly. “Okay. I’ll help you break off the engagement, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Rachel looked up.

“You need rehabilitation. I’ve contacted a rehabilitation center abroad for you. When you feel better, I’ll send you there.” Chandler had wanted to send Rachel abroad for a long time, but she refused. If she had listened to him, she wouldn’t have had a kidney taken away.

Rachel’s eyes were wet. She had already left the ICU, but she could clearly feel that she was too weak and couldn’t even muster any strength. She really needed rehabilitation. Otherwise, she couldn’t live like a normal person.

Rachel had seen her abdomen, where there was a very ugly scar. This scar would probably follow her for the rest of her life. When she thought of this, she couldn’t stop feeling sad.

Rachel closed her eyes. Suddenly, several bloody images flashed through her mind. She bit her lip, and her emotions inexplicably collapsed. The doctor was right. She had forgotten, but she could remember it at any time. For a long time in the future, she would live in the shadow of that memory.

Rachel’s eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. “Chandler, I agree.” Two lines of crystal tears slid down her cheeks, and she looked as if she was about to break. “But, can you hug me?”

The woman in front of Chandler was pitiful, and the sadness in her eyes was so strong. She had suffered too much during this period, and Chandler knew it clearly. He patted her back gently and comforted her. “Don’t think too much. Take some rest.”

Rachel leaned closer, resting her head on Chandler’s chest and crying uncontrollably.

Outside the door, Meryl, with red-rimmed eyes, watched this scene. After giving Felix acupuncture, Meryl originally planned to go home. However, thinking about Rachel being in a coma for a while and not having heard from her, she decided to come and check on her. To her surprise, she saw Chandler and Rachel embracing. It turned out that Chandler went out early in the morning not to go to the company but to visit Rachel.

Meryl lowered her eyes gently. She turned away without saying anything.
