Such a Rude and Noisy Woman
Chapter 160 What I Know Is You Saved Me

"Fannie! Fannie!

Can someone please call an ambulance?"

Seeing Fannie passed out, Joanna started shouting for help.

Rachel and Daniel were still on the run.

It was around four o'clock in the morning.

Daniel had found and saved Rachel. They had run down the mountain at midnight and walked in the corn field for a long time before replaceing their car and driving away from the kidnappers.

Daniel kept driving and didn't pull over until he ran out of gas. He stopped at the gas station to refuel his car.

"Don't worry. We've been driving for half an hour. They won't be able to catch up with us!" Daniel said, wiping the sweat off his forehead with his shirt.

Rachel got out of the car too. She had been so nervous during the whole drive. When Daniel rolled up his sleeves, all Rachel saw was blood stains. "Do you have money with you?" she asked. "I want to buy something." Daniel searched his pocket and handed Rachel a hundred dollars.

Rachel took the money and walked into the store beside the gas station.

She bought some wet tissues, band-aids, a few bottles of water, and some bread and snacks in case they got hungry.

They got into the car after it had been refueled.

"Give me your hands, " Rachel said to Daniel as she took out two band-aids.

Daniel glanced at her and looked at a deep wound under his sleeve. But to Rachel, he said, "It's fine. It's just a superficial wound. I'll recover in two days."

Rachel knew that he was just acting tough, so she grabbed his arm. She used the wet tissues to clean his wrist before applying the band-aid onto his deep wound.

"You saved my life. I should take care of you. You don't need to feel uncomfortable." Thanks to the coat Daniel had given her while they were running through the corn field, all Rachel had was a scratch on her hand, which wasn't a big deal.

But she knew that Daniel, who hadn't had anything to cover himself, must have been putting up with that pain the whole time.

When Rachel finished dressing his wound, Daniel started the car and left the gas station.

"I did this all for Hiram because I owe him a favor, so don't feel like you owe me something. I didn't do it for you."

Rachel put on her seat belt. She tasted bile at hearing Hiram's name, but she forced a smile and said, "Daniel, we're friends. And you're my boss, too. You don't have to say that.

Besides, I don't care what happened between you and him. What I know is that you saved me!"

Daniel glanced at her, then turned back to the road ahead. "Don't blame him, Rachel. If I had been in his place, I might have made the same decision."

Rachel didn't reply. She was gripping her seat belt tightly and her eyes were gloomy.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that a sister is more important than a wife. What I'm trying to say is that we should put ourselves in Hiram's shoes. The Rong family has already lost a family member, and Hiram's father and grandfather have been feeling sad and regretful since then.

So this time, Hiram chose to put himself through the pain rather than let his parents bear the pain of losing someone they love again,"

Daniel explained, knowing how disappointed Rachel must be in Hiram and trying to defend him.

But Rachel just smiled coldly.

"Oh, yeah? What about my mom? She has already lost my dad. All she has is me! When he considered his family, did he ever think of me, or of my mom?!" Rachel shouted, Breaking down and sobbing. "I've tried justifying his actions. I keep thinking about what he did all the time. However, I have to admit that people are selfish in essence.

No matter how considerate Hiram is, when it came down to it, he put his blood ties first.

Yes, he's gentle and thoughtful. But in his eyes, I'm just a woman he has been married to for two months. The relationship he has with me is nothing compared to the one he has with Lydia." Daniel stopped the car by the side of the road and gave Rachel a piece of tissue. He said gently, "Sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned Hiram. Maybe you're right. People are selfish.

Since he's my friend, when I tried to analyze the situation, I thought from his perspective first before thinking of your family. I'm sorry."

Daniel thought that he was the reason that Rachel was crying so hard. He knew that Rachel had been hiding her emotions these past few hours, and now they had burst out.

Chad had told Daniel that Rachel was exceptionally quiet during the whole kidnapping incident at the theater.

Even when the kidnappers had asked Hiram to choose between Lydia and her, she hadn't uttered a word or asked Hiram to save her.

Rachel took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but it wasn't easy. Now that the tears had started to come out, it was hard to stop them.

Daniel patted her on the back and comforted her. "All right, stop crying, okay? We're not far away from a town. When we get there, let's replace a hotel, take a shower, have some food and take a good rest!" But tears just kept running down her face.

"Stop crying, please. You're breaking my heart now!" But Rachel couldn't stop even if she tried.

Daniel wiped her tears off with his hand. He shifted closer to her, and Rachel threw her arms around his neck. "Hiram, I hate you, I hate you! I don't want to see you for the rest of my life!"

"All right, all right, you don't have to see him anymore. The next time he appears in front of you, just turn around and walk away!" Daniel patted Rachel's shoulders. He knew that all she needed now was a hug. She needed someone to protect her, to put himself in her shoes and care about her. Although he understood why Hiram had acted the way he did, it was also true that Hiram's decision had hurt Rachel deeply.

"Are you done? If you're feeling better, we should continue driving. It isn't safe here. We're still in the area that's under Zachary's control," Daniel said, and Rachel finally let go.

She nodded her head and stopped crying. "Let's go. I'm fine."

Daniel started the car again.

They drove for another hour. When they reached the town, it was already morning.

Rachel and Daniel were both exhausted after running about for two nights and a day.

Rachel bought some cheap clothes in the hotel store. Her dress was ruined, and it didn't match her shoes, either.

Daniel walked into the room after Rachel had taken a shower and changed her clothes.

To avoid suspicion and for safety reasons, they were sharing a room.

Rachel was exhausted, but she still hadn't recovered from the kidnap. Although she was tired and sleepy, it was hard to fall asleep, Which was annoying.

Minutes later, Daniel finished his shower and walked towards Rachel. Finding her still awake, he said, "Even if you don't feel like sleeping, try to sleep. We have to get up soon and resume our journey.

We're still far away from H City. We're not safe until we get back there."

Rachel nodded her head and tried to relax with her back to Daniel.

About twenty minutes later, Rachel finally fell asleep.

Daniel slept on the other end of the bed.

About two hours later, Daniel, who was a light sleeper, suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard heavy footsteps outside their room. 00000
