Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 160

"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 finding 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.
