章 277: Being Friends

Andrew was about to say something when he saw Rachael. 

"Andrew—" She rushed towards him and pounced in his embrace. "You are okay." She pulled away and cupped his face. "Thank God you are okay." 

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?" Andrew tightly wrapped his arms around her and buried his face on her neck. He couldn't express how relieved he was feeling at the moment. He knew Rachael was safe but his heart felt at ease only after holding her tightly. 

"I am so sorry babe," he muttered before kissing the top of her head. "I am so sorry." The guilt of not being able to keep her safe was killing him. She had to go through everything only because he had let his guard down. 

"You don't have to apologize, it wasn't your fault." She knew he would blame himself for whatever had happened but Rachael didn't want that. Whatever happened was an accident.
