Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 255 Enemy’s Wife

"Hey, are you alright?" Rachael grabbed the woman's hand and helped her sit down in the nearest seat.

"Yeah, I—"

"Madam, is everything okay?" One of the guards approached Rachael.

"Can you get me some water please?" After the guard left, Rachael placed her hand on the woman's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I am fine." The woman wrapped her arms around her as she started shivering vigorously.

"You are shivering." Rachael took off her coat and placed it on the woman's shoulder.

"I—"

"Are you alone?" She inquired as she looked around. The woman looked very pale, she was sweating and shivering at the same time.

When the woman nodded, she asked, "Do you have someone I can call for you?"

After a few seconds, the woman said, "My brother is coming to take me. He is downstairs already."

Just then the guard arrived with a water bottle and gave it to Rachael.

"Here, drink some water." She sat next to her and helped her take a few sips.

After taking a few sips, the woman rested her head on Rachael's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Do you want me to take you to your brother?"

When she nodded, Rachael asked the guard to help her. But as soon as he stepped forward, the woman flinched and tightened her grip on Rachael's hand.

Sensing her discomfort, Rachael gestured the guard to step back.

"I'll take you down, okay?"

The woman nodded and slowly opened her eyes.

"Can you tell Elsa and Kate that I'll be back soon?" She instructed the guard. She didn't want to disappear without a word.

"I'll inform the guard following them," the guard said. "I'll follow you downstairs, madam."

Rachael nodded and helped the woman stand up.

[Near the Mall entrance]

When they arrived at the entrance a man rushed towards them.

"Janet," he called her out but before he could come anywhere near Rachael, the guard quickly stepped forward and blocked him.

The men standing in a distance quickly stepped forward too but the man gestured them to remain where they were.

"I am here only to take my sister with me," The man remarked as he took a step forward.

The man was taller than the guard but that didn't make him flinch. "Take a step back before things get ugly in front of your sister."

Rachael frowned when the woman tightened her grip in her hand. She could say that she was scared and worried.

"Step away," Rachael ordered.

"Madam—"

"We are here to help someone not to fight or create any trouble," she added. "So step away so he can take his sister to the doctor or anywhere she will feel better."

The guard pursed his lips and glared at the man before taking a step back. He then stepped aside and stood beside Rachael, making sure to stay close to her in case something goes wrong. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

"Hey—" She gently patted the woman's hand. "Is he your brother?"

The woman opened her eyes and looked at the man before nodding.

"I am her brother," the man remarked.

"I was just making sure." Rachael stepped forward and handed over the woman to the man.

The man quickly wrapped his arms around her and asked her something in Russian to which the woman shook her head.

"I told you not to come alone," the man frowned. "You know it's not safe."

"I just wanted some fresh air," the woman weakly answered.

The man sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Let's go to the hospital and get you checked, okay?"

He then looked at Rachael. "Thank you for helping my sister."

"You don't have to thank me, anyone would have helped her." She looked at the woman who looked paler than before. "Will she be okay?"

"I'll take her to the hospital now."

"You should hurry up." Rachael had a feeling that something was wrong with the woman.

The man nodded. "Yes. Thank you once again—your name?"

"Rachael."

"My name is Riftan," he remarked. "Thank you once again Rachael."

Rachael smiled and nodded.

Riftan returned the smile and walked away but he didn't forget to smirk at the guard standing beside her.

[Inside the car]

As soon as they entered the car, Riftan told the chauffeur to drive towards the hospital.

"Riftan—" The woman weakly called him out.

He kissed the top of her head. "I am right here."

"I didn't even thank her."

"It's okay, I thanked her for both of us."

"She was really sweet." The woman smiled.

Riftan nodded in agreement. "Yes she was."

After a few minutes, the woman dozed off to sleep again.

"Who was she?" Riftan asked Kazi, his assistant and one his most trusted men.

Before Kazi could answer, he threw another question at him. "How is she related to the Volkov's?" He had recognized the Volkov guard who was protecting her.

"She is Rachael Watson, Andrew's wife," Kazi answered.

"Impressive," Riftan chuckled.

"Helen Volkov kidnapped her from Elisberg city and brought her here," he further explained. "And the entire gang followed her here."

Keeping quiet for a while, Riftan remarked, "So Andrew really married a foreign woman. That's even more impressive."

There was only one guard by her side when they met. Though he was sure there were many others hidden in the crowd, it wouldn't have been difficult for his men to make a move on her. The way Rachael remained calm even after seeing him and his men proved that she had no idea who he was.

"She is a really easy target," Kazi stated. "Rumours say that Andrew is crazy about her, he will do anything for her."

"Why wouldn't he be crazy about her? She is a beautiful and attractive woman." Keeping quiet for a while, Riftan instructed, "Don't touch her. She helped Janet, leaving her alone is the least we can do to repay her kindness."

Kazi raised his brows and looked at him. "Are you showing kindness to your enemy's wife now?"

Riftan did not answer his question, he pulled Janet closer to make sure she was comfortable.
