Chapter 796:
Allan parted his lips, his voice faint but steady. “It’s a chronic issue. Nothing to worry about.”
Rachel swept her eyes around the room. The curtains were drawn so tightly that barely a sliver of light seeped
through. The air felt thick, stagnant. She stood and pulled them open.
“It’s a beautiful day outside—bright and sunny. When you're unwell, fresh air and sunlight help.”
A faint smile curved Allan's pale lips. “Just letting the sun into the room isn’t enough.”
Rachel caught the meaning behind his words instantly. “Then let's go outside for a bit.”

Her breath hitched, but she gritted her teeth and steadied herself, carefully guiding him into the wheelchair, inch
by inch.
However, as she eased him down, she lost her balance and lurched forward, her lips grazing his cheek by
accident. At that exact moment, Alban stepped into the room.
Rachel stiffened, her face burning as mortification crashed over her.
“Uh... I—" Rachel floundered, completely at a loss.
Sensing her embarrassment, Allan quickly interjected, his tone calm and unruffled, “Alban, takeoutside for
sair.”
“Right away, Mr. Vance.”
