Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 356

"What did you say? Jonny and Joyce are my grandchildren! You can't take them away from me."

Gavin's eyes flew open. Outraged, he continued yelling at Rachel,"Rachel, let me be straight with you. You can leave, and I'll return your mother to you. However, you can't take my grandchildren with you!"

"Can't I? Dad, you are right. Jonny and Joyce are your grandchildren, but they're also my children and my mother's grandchildren. You showed no mercy to my mom and me. Why should I pity you?"

Rachel got to her feet. She refused to kneel before Gavin any longer.

"Rachel! You……"

Rachel's defiance angered Gavin. He became short of breath, and his heart began racing. A moment later, he fainted and fell on the sofa.

At the hospital, Joanna and Lydia waited at the door of the emergency room. They had rushed to the hospital with Gavin. Once Hiram had been informed of his father's health, he also hurried to the hospital from the company.

Rachel stared at the floor in a daze as she waited on the bench outside the emergency room.

What Gavin cared about the most at his age were his grandchildren. He had been distraught when he heard that Rachel was going to take the two children away from him. The exertion hadn't been good for his heart. With his body under such stress, he passed out.

When Hiram arrived at the hospital, he spared Rachel a glance who was silent before walking toward his mother,"Mom, how's dad?"

"Hiram, you're finally here. Your dad is receiving emergency treatment now. I don't know what is happening in the emergency room. No one has come out to tell us." Joanna held Hiram's hand and said anxiously.

"Hiram, could you tell Rachel not to see Dad? Dad is old now. I don't know what Rachel said to anger him so much, but now that he's in this condition, he cannot afford any more stress." Lydia shot Rachel a cold look as she spoke to Hiram in a low voice.

Joanna sighed and said,"Hiram, I know that at this time, Rachel is racked with guilt. But you know your father's temper. I don't know what else we can do to keep him from getting angry again."

Hiram patted Joanna on her hand and said in a gentle voice,"Mom, don't worry. Dad will be fine."

After comforting his mother and sister, Hiram walked toward Rachel.

"Come with me." He held Rachel's hand and walked to the other end of the corridor.

Rachel followed him expressionlessly. She knew that he would blame her for what had happened. But what other choice did she have at that time? Rachel couldn't stand aside and watch helplessly when her mother was in trouble.

"Can you trust me to handle things with my parents? Leave the issue to me. Don't confront dad again." Although Hiram spoke in a low voice, it didn't feel as though he was blaming Rachel.

"I didn't want to exasperate him, but he was the one who caused the trouble. If he had shown my mother and I a little mercy for the sake of our children, I wouldn't have been this extreme." Rachel fixed her eyes on Hiram as she spoke. She wanted to see what his reaction would be.

Hiram let out a sigh before gently placing his hand on her shoulder. He said patiently,"I know you're worried about your mom, but trust me to handle my parents, okay?"

Rachel turned her head and looked away,"Hiram, it's not as simple as you think. Your dad is not only planning on retaliating against my mom. He also wants me to leave you. He said I should stay away from you for the rest of my life!

What can you do? Your choices are limited to either defying your father because of me, which I know is impossible or listening to your father and breaking up with me. If you have chosen to leave me, it won't matter whether I trust you or not."

Hiram frowned slightly and said,"What if I have another solution?"

"Hiram! The doctor has come out."

Lydia shouted at Hiram and Rachel.

Hiram loosened his grip on Rachel's shoulder and said to her in a low voice,"Honey, wait for me at home. I have to see dad now."

Then he walked toward the doctor who was waiting outside the emergency room.

Rachel didn't leave the hospital immediately. She wanted to hear what the doctor had to say about Gavin's health. She left when she heard the doctor say that Gavin was out of danger.
