Chapter 283: Taking the test

It was quite understandable that the whole incident of Rachael getting kidnapped was very traumatising. And even though she was rescued before anything bad could happen, it had definitely left a mark on her. 

But to Andrew's surprise, Rachael's reaction was not something he had expected.

He also knew that she was trying to act strong, trying very hard to give him one less thing to worry about. But he didn't want that, he didn't want her to keep her emotions within herself. He wanted her to vent, he wanted her to tell him everything she was feeling. 

The last string of emotions she was trying so hard to hold back broke the minute he embraced her again. 

Rachael turned towards him, buried her face on his chest and started sobbing. 

Yes, she was scared. She was scared to the point where she couldn't think straight. What would have happened if Riftan hadn't been there? The alternative reality still haunted her.
