Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 186 The Little Beast Inside Hiram

Hiram seemed to have fallen asleep before Rachel walked into the bedroom.

Rachel could see Hiram's chiseled chest through the loosened neckline of the dark blue silk bathrobe

he was wearing. His long, flowing eyelashes trembled when he breathed in and out as he rested his

head on one arm.

Rachel lay down beside him, letting her head sink into the soft stuffed pillow as she gazed at Hiram's

face; his almost perfect symmetrical face seemed like it was sculpted like the statue of an ancient

Greek god. After a while, she realized that Hiram wasn't pretending, and he had already long

succumbed to the call of the sleep.

Slowly and quietly, she got up from the bed, grabbed her phone from the bedside table and tip-toed out Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

of the room, closing the door behind her.

Rachel went over next door to Hiram's room.

Since Hiram was wrapped in profound sleep on her bed, she decided to leave it to him alone. A whole

day's travelling on bus had left her completely worn out and spent. The only thing she wanted at that

moment was a good night's sleep.

When Joanna unexpectedly showed up in Hiram's office earlier that afternoon, he had to make last

minute changes to his plan.

Although, they hadn't seen each other for two weeks, Hiram thought it would be inappropriate to ask

Rachel to come back to her room, when she was still catching up with her mother. Thus, Hiram had no

other choice but to wait. However, unfortunately, he fell asleep before Rachel ever got back.

Rachel took a quick shower in Hiram's bathroom and then threw herself on the bed, contentedly.

Shortly after she went to bed, the door of her bedroom was pushed open abruptly with a loud noise.

Hiram came out in anger, panting heavily, like steam blowing out of a locomotive.

Hiram walked over to his room, opened the door and saw his wife sleeping on his bed. Although, his

dark eyes could barely hold the weight of his eyelids any longer, the sparkling flames inside were still

plainly visible.

He had fallen asleep after failing to keep awake any longer for her, but what did she do? She went to

another room and fell asleep, instead of waking him up.

Rachel was almost drifting off to sleep when she heard heavy footsteps. She opened her eyes

curiously, to find Hiram approaching in full fury.

Hiram set his sights on Rachel and approached her like a predator cornering its helpless prey, his eyes

sparkling and mouth watering with desire. It seemed like there would be no respite for his prey tonight.

Just one glance at Hiram, sent shivers down her spine, as she pulled tightly and hid herself under the

sheets.

Rachel stammered, "Why are you awake?

I found you sound asleep on my bed, so I decided not to bother you."

The next moment, the lights went out. Startled, Rachel quietly moved away from him, "Oh, God!"

Inside Hiram was a beast, that had been restrained and starved for two weeks. Hiram had finally

unleashed it on that night, believing that it would not be satisfied until it had sated its hunger for flesh.

Early next morning, Fearing that she would be late for work, Rachel forced herself to get up many

times, but failed and then went back to sleep shortly after.

She kept ignoring her alarm every time it went off, but she knew that she would have to get up sooner

or later.

Buried in sleep, she found it extremely hard to open her eyes long enough to get herself off the bed.

"Hello, Daniel, this is Rachel. May I come to work in the afternoon?" Rachel called Daniel to take the

morning off, unable to gather the strength to start the day. She couldn't keep her eyes open because of

the dizziness.

"Oh yeah, sure! Of course you can. Your husband just called me a moment ago. Let me guess, two

weeks was too long for Hiram to wait patiently, right? Ha ha ha, I believe absence makes the heart

grow fonder. Enjoy your day at home!" Daniel chuckled on the phone.

Rachel somehow dragged her head up and forced her sleepy eyes open, but everything was still blurry.

'What? Hiram called Daniel and asked him to give me a leave?'

As soon as she got the green light from Daniel, she dropped her head on the pillow and stretched her

legs in relief and joy of not having to get up to go to work.

"Good-bye, Daniel! I'm off to the land of dreams, see you later."

Rachel hung up, thrust her phone under her pillow, and buried herself under the sheets.

However, soon after she hung up and was about to drift off to sleep, Fannie came knocking on her

door.

"My dear daughter, are you finally awake?" asked Fannie, as she opened the door to let herself in.

Fannie was able to stand on her feet and walk by herself now, but she wasn't able to walk as fast as

before.

Seeing Rachel sleeping on her bed, Fannie turned her head to the door and said, "Tracy, bring her

breakfast in!"

Tracy was their new housemaid.

"You must have your breakfast first, sweetie, and then you can catch up on your sleep again, " Fannie

lifted the sheets on Rachel as she spoke.

Rachel pulled her hair in frustration, but soon she took a deep breath and sat up. She rubbed her eyes

and complained, "Mom! I'm not a little girl any more. I'll have my breakfast when I feel hungry!"

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You should take care of yourself more now. I won't

allow you to eat whenever you like. Come on! Get up and wash your face. Then come to breakfast!"

Fannie urged, patting her on the shoulders.

Rachel knew that she was helpless against her mother's demands. She dragged herself to the

bathroom and came back to get her breakfast.

Fannie watched Rachel as she ate her breakfast, seemingly fretting about something. She hesitated for

a moment and said, "Rachel, I'm planning to go out this afternoon. Nico wasn't feeling well so he came

here to do some checkups. I think I should go and see how he's doing. What do you think?"

Rachel put aside the bowl of porridge she was eating and wiped her lips with a tissue. She said to

Fannie, "Right, I remember uncle Nico came to visit you when you were in hospital last time. Sure, I'll

go with you."

"But, I believe Mandy is with Nico. Don't you have a problem with that?" asked Fannie worriedly. Fannie

remembered what had happened between Rachel and Mandy the last time, and she was worried that

Rachel wouldn't want to see Mandy.

Rachel looked like she didn't care at all, as she smiled openly, "It doesn't matter, mom. Mandy is uncle

Nico's daughter, and of course she'll be with him now."

They chatted with each other for a while, before Fannie left. Later, Rachel called Chad and asked him

to send a car to take them to the hospital after lunch, before going back to catch up on her sleep.

"Hey, Rachel! Nice to meet you!" Carl shouted before getting off the car.

"Carl? Is that you?" Rachel couldn't believe her eyes.

He looked great and it seemed like he had made a full recovery. Delightedly, he walked over to Rachel

and took the gift box from her hands.

"Long time no see, Rachel. Did you miss me?" Carl looked at Rachel with a bright smile on his face.

When they returned from Cliff Mountain, Carl went back to his hometown to recuperate after spending

some days in hospital. He hadn't been back at the company until now.

"To be honest, I've missed you a lot, because Chad isn't nearly as sweet as you are, " Rachel jested

and giggled, as Fannie walked in behind them.

"You're back to work, Carl? Come here and let me see you. Hmm, you look as strong as a horse!"

Fannie stepped forward to hold Carl's arms, as she looked at him from toe to head. Carl scratched his

head out of shyness.

He looked down at the ground and smiled, "I've just been resting at home, eating and drinking. It's no

wonder I was recovering very quickly."

Then they got on the car and headed to the hospital.

When Rachel and Fannie got to the ward Nico was staying in, there was no one inside. The nurse

informed them that Nico had gone to get checked up a few moments ago.

They went out to look for them and finally saw Mandy and Nico waiting in a line.

"It has been two days since you came here. Why haven't you seen the doctor yet?" Fannie asked in

awe and was surprised when she found out that Nico hadn't finished his checkups yet.

"Aunt Fannie, it's because there are too many patients in this hospital, but thanks to a friend of mine,

we finally managed to get an appointment with a specialist as soon as we could. Or else, we'd have to

wait for another month, " Mandy explained to them, and then she helped Nico inside, to get his blood

tested.

After they went out Mandy found a seat for her father, then she went over to Rachel and Fannie, "Hey,

Rachel, thank you for coming."

Rachel nodded and looked at Mandy, who looked a little tensed, "How's uncle Nico doing, Mandy? He

seemed great the last time I saw him."

"When he got ill before, he'd never take it seriously. Every time he got hurt, he'd take some pain killers

for it, but this time it didn't work, so he had to come to the hospital, " said Mandy, as she lowered her

head and looked down, trying to avoid looking at Rachel.

When Rachel and Mandy were catching up, a tall man walked towards them with some papers in his

hand. He said to Mandy, "I've helped you make another appointment with a lung specialist. Here you

are, please take your father to him as soon as you can."

"Thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you.

Oh, this is aunt Fannie, an old friend of my father, and this is Rachel, " Mandy held his arm and

introduced them to him.

Rachel was stunned when she recognized who the man standing in front of her was.
