Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 76

Rachel quickly went up to the doctor and asked, "Doc, how is my mom doing now?"

"The surgery was successful. But the effect of the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. You can go in and see her now, " The doctor said as he walked out of the operation theater.

Rachel ended her inquiry and went straight into the room. When she saw Fannie lying on the bed unconsciously, with a pale face, she felt vulnerable, her legs started shaking, and she fell backward.

Hiram was silently watching Rachel from behind. He quickly stretched out his arms and caught her just in time. "I don't think you should be looking at her in this state. Let's revisit her after she has been transferred to the ward."

Hiram held her shoulders and took her outside into the corridor. Fannie was still unconscious. Rachel would get distressed if she continued to see her mom in that state.

Outside the in-patient building, at the garden's promenade, Rachel rested her head on Hiram's shoulder while they were sitting on a bench. Rachel looked at the ground absentmindedly. She was immersed in her thoughts.

She really detested coming to the hospital.

Many years ago, her father was also unwell and admitted into a hospital. He kept lying on the bed in a ward, being unable to move or speak. Gradually, his condition became worse, and he died in the end.

Now, her mother was also lying in the hospital bed just like her father did at that time. Rachel felt extremely distressed to see that.

As Rachel recalled the sad memory, she couldn't restrain her tears from casting down her face. Hiram furrowed his brows as he felt his shoulder got wet. He lowered his head and saw Rachel weeping silently. He felt his heart ache upon seeing her tears and comforted her, "Rachel, don't cry. Your mom has hurt her leg, but her life isn't in danger. She'll be fine."

"I know, but... I just couldn't bear seeing her suffer from any pain. My mom always pretends to be strong in front of people. She managed to bring me up all by herself. I...I got worried by seeing her pale face..." Rachel sobbed.

Hiram took a deep breath after he heard her brokenhearted words. He gripped her hand tightly and said, "I understand your emotions. We'll go to visit her when she wakes up. Please, stop crying now."

Hiram tenderly wiped off the tears from the corner of her eyes. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He didn't say anything else but silently clung to her.

After some time, Carl came over to them and said, "Hiram, Rachel, Mrs. Ruan is awake now."

Carl's words instantly brightened up Rachel's sad face. She jumped up with joy and quickly strode towards the entrance of the in-patient building.

Hiram's sadness instantly vanished into thin air as he saw Rachel going away joyfully. He grinned calmly.

"Carl, please tell my mom about my mother-in-law's accident. Ask her to come to the hospital if she is free, " Hiram told Carl. Then, he also went to the ward.

Fannie had been transferred to an exclusive ward. Hiram had arranged for two care workers to take turns to look after Fannie the whole day.

"Mom!" When she entered the ward, Rachel saw a care worker feeding Fannie some water.

Though Fannie's face was still a little pale, she looked much better after waking up.

"Rachel..." Fannie reached out to Rachel. She was weak after the surgery. She grinned slightly and said in a weak voice, "I'm all right. It's nothing serious. My right leg was hit by a car. Don't worry about me. I will recover after a good rest!"

Fannie tried to reassure Rachel. But in fact, her condition was a little serious than that.

The bone of her right leg was broken, which also caused tear of some ligaments in her leg, that was why her surgery had taken so long.

"Mom! It's my fault. I didn't look after you. I should've let you go with me yesterday. If you had gone there with me, we might have just argued with uncle and aunt. They wouldn't have dared to hurt you in front of me, " Rachel said with guilt.

Rachel regretted that she didn't let Fannie go with her to the restaurant yesterday. As she and Hiram were there, Selina wouldn't dare to do anything to hurt her mother.

Her mother wouldn't have met Selina on the road, resulting in her getting knocked down by a car. Rachel really felt sorry for her mother.

Fannie shook her head and said, "Rachel, don't blame yourself. I always believe in fate. This was meant to happen, so it did. No one can escape from their destiny. It's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself, understand?"

Fannie had gone out to buy something at that time. She happened to meet Colin and Selina on the roadside near the neighborhood. The couple seemed to have suffered from great humiliation. So when they saw Fannie, their anger instantly erupted, and they straight away began arguing with Fannie.

Colin and Selina insisted that Fannie had cheated the Rong family and married her daughter to Hiram. Hiram had seen Rachel first, so he didn't like Vicky.

In a word, they just wanted to blame Fannie for everything. They wanted to release their anger on her.

"Mom, your misfortune is over now. They won't stir up trouble for us anymore, " Rachel said as she rested her head on top of Fannie's. She couldn't help but break into tears again.

"Of course they won't have the guts to come near me again! When I get better, I will report this event to all the elders of the Ruan family. Let all of our relatives know how shameful they are. They won't have the nerve to come back to XH Village again..."

Fannie wasn't a weak woman who could be easily bullied. At first, Fannie didn't care much about their ridiculous behavior, because they were all members of the Ruan family. But since they had crossed their limit now, Fannie wouldn't let them off so easily.

Rachel nodded in agreement and said, "Mom, I agree. But first, you need to have a good rest. You are not that young anymore. It'll take much longer for you to recover completely. Put your health above everything for now."

About one hour later, Joanna Fang came to visit Fannie. She was carrying some packages in her hands.

As soon as she entered the ward, Joanna said, "Fannie, how... how did this happen? I was so worried. I rushed here as soon as I received Carl's call."

Rachel stood up and said to Joanna, "Mom, you're here, too."

Joanna patted Rachel's shoulder and said, "Rachel, your mom is conscious now. Don't worry so much. I will keep your mom company here. You haven't eaten anything yet, right? Hiram is waiting for you outside."

Rachel glanced at Fannie after she heard Joanna's words.

Fannie smiled at Rachel to reassure her. She then waved at Rachel, beckoning her to leave. Rachel then turned around and walked out of the ward.

Hiram was waiting for her outside the ward.

When Hiram saw Rachel come out, he held her hands and said, "Come, I'll take you out to have some food."

"But, my mom..."

"Don't worry. The hospital serves nutritious food which is also suitable for your mom. And the care workers would take good care of her. You don't need to worry so much, " Hiram reassured her.

He comforted her that it wasn't serious. Her mom had only broken her leg and just needed to rest for some time. Her condition was far better than the other critical patients in the hospital.

"Fine." Rachel nodded and finally relaxed a little more after Hiram's comforting words.

"I would love to have a buffet!" Rachel said. She was in a hurry that morning and didn't have the time to eat anything. Then after she came to the hospital, she argued with her aunt and taught her a lesson. She kept worrying about her mom until noon, so she was starving by now.

Hiram smiled and said in a pampering manner, "Okay, it's up to you."

Then, Hiram escorted Rachel to get in the car. He asked Carl to drive them to the most exquisite restaurant for buffet in H City.

The table was soon placed with all kinds of dishes that Rachel loved to eat. Since Rachel sat down on the chair, her mouth didn't stop for a second.

She kept eating the food until she was nearly full, and then she stopped to drink something and have a break. She suddenly asked Hiram, "Oh, right. I forgot to ask your opinion on something."

Hiram picked up a slice of meat and placed it on the barbecue oven. He raised his head to look at her and asked smilingly, "What is it?"

"You asked me to work in your company, right?" Rachel thought of her conversation with Celine two days ago.

"Yes. So what's your decision?" Hiram asked as he placed the baked meat on Rachel's plate.

Rachel hesitated. She asked cautiously, "If I go to work in your company, can I also bring some people to work with me?"

Without thinking about it, Hiram asked, "You want to bring your whole team A, right?"

"How did you know that?"

Rachel asked with surprise. She was debating how to put forward her request. After all, it didn't sound quite reasonable to bring the whole team to work in his company.
