Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 375 I Will Give Up

Carl was in a bad mood. He sighed slightly and said,"Hiram hasn't woken up yet. It doesn't look like he

is going to wake up anytime soon. But the doctor said that considering his situation, it is normal for

Hiram to remain unconscious for the next one to three days. Before then, we will just have to wait.

Hiram has been in a coma for only a few hours."

With what Carl just said, Rachel felt quite distraught. She took a breath and was about to walk towards

Hiram's ward, but Carl stopped her.

"Rachel..."

Carl grabbed her arm.

"Wait. Uncle Gavin and aunt Joanna are both in the ward now. You will surely meet them if you enter

the room now. And you are very likely to get into an argument or it will be very awkward at the very

least. It is bound to disturb Hiram's rest. It may even stress him out. But don't worry. I did hear that

uncle Gavin would be leaving soon. It won't be too late for you to see Hiram after he leaves, okay?"

The tears in Rachel's eyes started trickling. She couldn't even stay beside her husband when he

needed her the most. It was the only thing she wanted to do at the moment.

Rachel pulled Carl's hand away, turned around and walked out, disappointed and disheartened. She

just wanted her husband back.

She stopped at the garden and sat on the steps, staring blankly at the grass on the ground.

Sometimes, the simplest thing is also the hardest.

"He's still alive, isn't he? Why are you crying?"

A voice came out from behind the tree near Rachel. She looked back and stood up at once.

"Patrick, how dare you come here?

Why didn't you just die in the explosion? How many lives do you have? You have no right to be here."

Rachel strode over to him with heavy and angry steps once she realized that it was Patrick. She

grabbed him by his shirt collar.

Patrick took a step back but didn't resist her aggression. "Rachel, you see nothing but my hate. But you

don't see my pain...

Did you really think that I am a superhuman who would escape from that fatal explosion safe and

sound?" Patrick said painfully,"Can you assure me that Hiram had nothing to do with Marcia's attack

against me? I just paid him back for what he has done."

Rachel stepped back, shaking her head. "No. Hiram didn't do it. He wanted to deal with you, but he

didn't mean to kill you. The one who really wanted you dead was Marcia!"

Patrick grabbed Rachel's wrist and took a step forward. He stared down at her with his brown eyes.

"Rachel, what use is it for you to say this now? There has always been a feud between us since the

beginning."

"Well? So, are you satisfied now? Hiram is in there right now, lying unconsciously." She pointed to

Hiram's ward. "You have gotten your revenge, right? !" Rachel slapped his hand off her and looked at

him with furious eyes.

Patrick smiled bitterly, looking back at Rachel. "Yes, I thought I would be happy.

But when I saw that he was hit by a bullet, there was not a trace of pleasure in my heart. On the

contrary, I felt very sad. Especially when I saw that you were terrified of losing him, I suddenly

questioned myself, that I might have been wrong..."

Patrick paused, and then he let go of Rachel. He continued,"Take care, Rachel. I'm leaving. For you, I

will give up...

From now on, You'll never see me or hear from me again, nor will I deal with Hiram ever. I understand

that it is best that I let you go and live a good life with Hiram rather than stay here, giving you more

burdens."

His words surprised Rachel. She didn't expect Patrick to make such a decision. She looked at him,

confused.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not so great. I always stick to the principle, 'an eye for en eye and a tooth

for a tooth'" However, for your sake, I'm going to make an exception."

Patrick looked at Rachel deeply. He did make this exception just for her. After his accident, he had

seen that she visited the place where the explosion happened and shed tears for him.

At that moment, he felt that everything was worthwhile.

He did not really need to have her for himself.

It would be enough for him to occupy an insignificant place in her heart, that she would miss him once

in a while.

"Fine, I will trust you this time. But this will be the last one." After a while, Rachel looked at the mask on

his face and asked,"Your face..."

Patrick avoided her eyes. Then he said indifferently,"It's okay. It will be fine after some surgeries."

That night, a piece of glowing hot iron fell on his face as he tried to help his men out. The accident

nearly disfigured one cheek. He needed to wear a mask to hide the scar.

Hearing this, Rachel paused, and then she replied,"Fine."

"Great. Now that I'm leaving, can you give me a hug for the last time?" Patrick pleaded with a bitter

smile.

This was always a one-sided love. He used to ask her out for dinner actively and sent her gifts.

"No..." Before Rachel could move away, Patrick suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her by the

shoulders and hugged her.

He hugged her tightly as if they were a couple,"Don't push me away Rachel. One last time, please

spare me some dignity. I know that you worry about Hiram. But, please, do care for me this one time,

okay?"

Patrick held her tightly in his arms. "Rachel, wait for me. In the next life, I will find you! Then I will marry

you and care for you for a whole lifetime. I will treat you tens and hundreds of times better than Hiram!"

After hearing his words, Rachel sighed. She didn't push him away.

Patrick did have made many mistakes. But his love for her wasn't wrong.

"Is that enough? Are you happy now? If it's enough, let me go. I will get in big trouble if others see us

like this." Rachel blinked. She didn't really want to talk to him like that.

Patrick loosened his arms and took a deep breath. Rachel could see the smile in his eyes despite the

mask.

"See you.."

After that, Patrick turned around and left, walking on the path in the middle of the garden.

He took off the mask as he turned his back towards Rachel.

The ghastly burn left a permanent scar on the lower part of his right cheek. He wasn't afraid of anyone

seeing it...

Except for Rachel. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

He knew that she already had a bad impression of him. And his face was fairly the only thing she could

appreciate. If Rachel saw it as it was, she might be repulsed by it.

Whether it was fear or empathy, he did not want to see it in her eyes.

Seeing Patrick leaving, Rachel was relieved. 'This ambiguous relationship has finally come to an end.

Less trouble to worry about. Hiram waking up is the most important thing right now.'

Just as Rachel looked up, she felt a hot and painful smack on the right side of her face.

Lydia's furious hand had landed squarely right on Rachel's cheek. She stood there looking at her with

such hatred. "You immoral woman. Hiram is still lying unconsciously in his bed, but you are already

locked in an embrace with another man? And in the same building?

Are you that eager to find a replacement?"

Rachel stroked the slapped cheek which had turned red and started to slightly swell and have a

burning feeling. She gave Lydia a cold look but said nothing.

Then, she walked towards the ward, paying no attention to Lydia who hadn't stopped yelling rabid

words at her.

"Stop there! What makes you think that you have the right to see Hiram now? Did you think about him

when you flirted with that man just now?" Lydia shouted.

Rachel paused, but she still didn't answer Lydia. Instead, she just walked straight into the ward.

Lydia gritted her teeth. If she had remembered to bring her phone with her, she would have been able

to shoot a video of Rachel and Patrick being intimate. Then, how could she stay beside Hiram?

As Rachel got closer to Hiram's ward, Lydia caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "What are you

doing? Criminals and whores are not allowed inside. You are not to enter the room and disturb Hiram's

rest!"

Rachel wrinkled her eyebrows and pulled Lydia's hand away. "You have no right to order me around

either."

"I have no right? Well, yes. Hiram is lying helplessly and unconsciously inside, and he couldn't do

anything to stop you, so you go around hugging and flirting with the next man you see, right?"

Lydia sneered. She had underestimated this woman. She had captured the heart of this city's most

powerful businessman and yet had the audacity to be immoral with someone else.

"Let me remind you, you worthless bitch, Hiram got hurt for you. You are a shameless sinner, do you

hear?"

Saying this, Lydia grabbed Rachel's hand again and pulled her out of the ward. She just wouldn't let

Rachel get in.

Right at that moment, there came two people from the opposite corridor.
