Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 373

Instinctively, Rachel turned and looked back. Patrick and Hiram were a little far away from her as she was facing the street corner on the right side.

Rachel didn't know that

Patrick and Hiram already knew in which direction the bullets would go by carefully listening to the sound of the automatic machines when they pitched a bullet, as they had been here for a while

"Rachel!"

Hiram shouted before running to her. As soon as he got close enough, he wrapped his big, strong arms around Rachel. All thoughts of his safety were disregarded when Hiram saw that his wife might be hit by the oncoming bullets.

Just as he reached Rachel, Hiram furrowed his eyebrows for a split second. Then he gazed at Rachel and asked,"Are you all right?"

Rachel was startled. She shook her head at Hiram endangering himself before answering. "Yes, I'm all right. What about you? Did you get hurt?"

Hiram shook his head. "I'm fine." When he spoke, his voice was husky as though he had trouble speaking. After a frown and a deep breath, Hiram continued,"You can't stay here. Get out of here, sweetie. Be quick!"

Patrick had rushed in Rachel's direction when he saw Hiram hurrying to her rescue. His eyes widened when he saw Hiram's back. "Let's get out of here. We're done for today!

Turn on the light!"

Patrick shouted. A moment later, the whole street lit up.

Rachel didn't know that Hiram had been hurt. She just grabbed his hand and walked toward the door.

Patrick followed them with his head bowed. He was flooded with conflicting emotions. Every few seconds, he would glance at Hiram's back. The blood pooling in the spot where Hiram had been shot seemed to be growing.

When he asked Hiram to come here, Patrick had been determined that only one of them would walk away unhurt. The only acceptable resolution would be that one man died. However, when Patrick saw that Hiram had been shot, he didn't feel happy or relieved as he thought he would.

Still holding Hiram's hand, Rachel led him into the house. The silence in the house worried Rachel. There had been so many men here just a little while ago. When did they leave?

She was even more astonished when she noticed that Patrick hadn't followed them into the house.

At this time, Kun had arrived with several helpers. As soon as he had heard the news, he had gathered as much support as possible and rushed to the house.

"Hiram, are you okay?"

Now that Rachel and Hiram were in the house, and under the bright light, Rachel realized that Hiram was sweating profusely. She was startled by his appearance and squealed. "Hiram!"

Meanwhile, Hiram was biting his lips to contain the pain he was feeling. His face was pale from the blood loss and the exertion.

"Call an ambulance!" Seeing Hiram's pale face, Kun instructed his subordinates immediately.

Rachel was speechless. Although several thoughts ran through her head, she found that she couldn't voice them. Rachel didn't know what to do. Rooted to the floor and dumbstruck, she just stared at Hiram.

Hiram knew that his wife was worried, so he glanced at her with a forced smile. He tried to reassure and comfort her by saying,"Rachel, don't be afraid. I won't die."

Then he stretched his arms and pulled Rachel into a hug. Hiram's voice had become huskier.

"As long as you don't get hurt, nothing else matters to me. Listen, remember this. No matter who asks you, don't say a single word about what happened today."

Once in Hiram's arms, Rachel found that she couldn't control her feelings anymore. She began crying when she heard what Hiram had to say. The more he spoke, the more Rachel cried. She couldn't control the tears that kept falling down her face. When she saw that his white shirt was turning red because of the blood, Rachel pulled away from his hug. In surprise, she looked at her hands and found that even they were soaked in Hiram's blood.

Her mind went blank at that moment.

"Hi… Hiram? Hiram?"

Rachel stuttered. When she got no reply, she looked at his face and found that after resting his head on her shoulder, Hiram had passed out.

Kun rushed to Rachel immediately and helped her move Hiram to a more comfortable position. Then Kun began rummaging for some bandages to help slow down the bleeding. As a thought flashed through his mind, Kun turned and instructed his subordinates. "Find Patrick! And search the house carefully! The others might still be here hiding somewhere."

The next few minutes were a blur for Rachel. She felt as though she could no longer hear the voices of the people around her. Her entire focus was on Hiram, who had been shot because of her and was bleeding.

As soon as the ambulance arrived, the medical staff rushed into the house and transferred Hiram to the stretcher.

Rachel was pulled away. She was so startled that she couldn't move. At that moment, her world was completely silent. She literally couldn't hear anything.
