Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 167

"Did I wake you up?" Daniel's voice sounded softly on the phone.

Rachel sat up straight. She had only minded herself and forgot about him. "No, you didn't. How are you? Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine. That couldn't hurt me so easily." Daniel laughed. As for the drug, it lost its effect on him after he had fulfilled his desire. Besides, his wounds had almost recovered.

"That's a relief. I was about to call you... Ummm, may I take a few days off?" Rachel had wanted to call him tomorrow morning.

Daniel hesitated for a few seconds, and then agreed, "No problem. Although Zachary escaped, he is now wanted by the authorities nationwide, so don't worry. He won't pose any threat to you."

"What? He escaped?" Rachel got upset upon hearing that.

"Yeah, they were about to arrest him, but after Hiram heard that you were in trouble, they stopped halfway, " said Daniel, then he continued, "He is quite cunning. Hiram and I had planned to search for you in different places. However, what we didn't expect was that he had many strongholds. Before we eventually found you, we had to destroy many of those bases."

Daniel took a deep breath, then said slowly, "Hiram was so worried about you that he didn't sleep for several days and he didn't eat anything during that time. I know you still blame him, but... don't be so harsh on him. He did his best to find you.

I mean...actually you can punish him, but please think of all the effort he has devoted to you..."

Rachel raised her head and looked outside. Outside her window, the night was struggling to fall asleep. She sneered, "Daniel, now I feel envious of him."

"Envious? Why? He's your husband..."

Daniel asked quizzically.

"It was me who got kidnapped, but everyone is still standing on his side! Everyone! Starting from my mother-in-law, you and my mom, all on his side!"

Rachel's eyes turned red with tears.

"Although I was the only victim in this kidnapping, no one speaks for me..."

Rachel felt like she had no one who could understand the traumatic experience she had gone through.

Rachel then said with desperation, "It's like suddenly, I've become the one who is making trouble out of nothing. I'm the one to blame. You've all tried to persuade me. You all said that Hiram had tried his best, so I shouldn't embarrass him anymore.

Daniel, I know that you are his friend. That's why you're taking his side, so I don't want to nag you."

Daniel didn't say anything. Although what she had said was not completely true, At the very least, it was reasonable.

"Good night!"

"Rachel!"

"..."

Rachel hung up the phone, even though Daniel wasn't able to finish what he wanted to say to her.

Daniel decided to give her some space and stopped himself from calling her back.

After Rachel hung up, she switched off her phone and fell asleep.

Salt Sea City

Was near the sea.

It was also called Salt City. It was near the sea, and the weather there was quite warm all year round.

When Rachel arrived at Salt City, she felt like she was set free from jail.

After spending some time away from H City, she realized everything in Salt City was so clean and pure.

The sea, especially, was wider and bluer than the sky in this place.

Sitting at the beach, staring into the blue sky and beautiful ocean, she felt a sense of serenity inside of her.

Rachel switched off the phone Hiram had given her. She got herself a new one, with a new sim card inside.
