Chapter 169 Chapter 169: The air felt cold, empty-devoid of warmth.

Natalia had never liked hospitals. They always felt too distant, too lonely. And more than anything, she hated pain. She hated needles. But this time, she had no choice but to push past her fear.

When Natalia stepped inside, Rachel lay motionless on the bed, eyes shut, her face pale, drained of all color. Her breathing was so shallow it was barely perceptible.

If Natalia hadn't known Rachel was simply unwell, she might have doubted whether Rachel was even alive.

It wasn't an overreaction-Rachel looked so unnervingly still, as if all signs of life had faded from her.

"Rachel..." Natalia called softly, hesitant.

As expected, there was no response.

She stepped closer, her fingers twitching before she finally reached out to check Rachel's breathing.

Feeling the faint warmth of breath against her hand, she exhaled in relief.

"Thank goodness." Moments later, a nurse entered the room.

Noticing the tray of medication bottles in her hands, Natalia's unease deepened. “Does she really need all that? Is she still in bad shape?" The nurse, seeing the concern on Natalia's face, softened her tone. "The doctor prescribed these. I'm just here to administer the injections. If you want details, you should ask the doctor." Natalia gave a small nod. “Okay, but when will she wake up?" Your next story starts here gVlnovals"The doctor said it shouldn't be long now, so try not to worry. By the way, what's your relationship with her?" The nurse's question was casual, but it caught Natalia off guard.

She couldn't possibly say they were romantic rivals, could she? "I'm her younger sister!" "I see. Your sister's health is quite delicate, so make sure to take good care of her." After administering the injection, the nurse gave a few instructions before heading out.

Natalia remained at Rachel's bedside. Douglas, having settled the medical bills, glanced at the time—it was already noon.

He turned to Natalia and said, "Miss, you should eat something. I can stay here and keep watch."

"Forget it. I had a hand in her collapsing. I won't feel at eas@until she wakes up. I'll wait." "But you shouldn't skip meals either." Natalia mulled it over before saying, "Then please bring something back for me." "Alright, I'll be quick."

Once Douglas left, Natalia found herself studying Rachel more closely. om She had to admit, Rachel was breathtaking. Not the kind of beauty enhanced by makeup, but the kind that was effortlessly striking.

Then again, what did looks matter? In Brian's heart, there was only room for Tracy. The content is on 1 there.
