Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 76

Rachel quickly went up to the doctor and asked, "Doc, how is my mom doing now?"

"The surgery was successful. But the effect of the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. You can go in and see her now, " The doctor said as he walked out of the operation theater.

Rachel ended her inquiry and went straight into the room. When she saw Fannie lying on the bed unconsciously, with a pale face, she felt vulnerable, her legs started shaking, and she fell backward.

Hiram was silently watching Rachel from behind. He quickly stretched out his arms and caught her just in time. "I don't think you should be looking at her in this state. Let's revisit her after she has been transferred to the ward."

Hiram held her shoulders and took her outside into the corridor. Fannie was still unconscious. Rachel would get distressed if she continued to see her mom in that state.

Outside the in-patient building, at the garden's promenade, Rachel rested her head on Hiram's shoulder while they were sitting on a bench. Rachel looked at the ground absentmindedly. She was immersed in her thoughts.

She really detested coming to the hospital.

Many years ago, her father was also unwell and admitted into a hospital. He kept lying on the bed in a ward, being unable to move or speak. Gradually, his condition became worse, and he died in the end.

Now, her mother was also lying in the hospital bed just like her father did at that time. Rachel felt extremely distressed to see that.

As Rachel recalled the sad memory, she couldn't restrain her tears from casting down her face. Hiram furrowed his brows as he felt his shoulder got wet. He lowered his head and saw Rachel weeping silently. He felt his heart ache upon seeing her tears and comforted her, "Rachel, don't cry. Your mom has hurt her leg, but her life isn't in danger. She'll be fine."

"I know, but... I just couldn't bear seeing her suffer from any pain. My mom always pretends to be strong in front of people. She managed to bring me up all by herself. I...I got worried by seeing her pale face..." Rachel sobbed.

Hiram took a deep breath after he heard her brokenhearted words. He gripped her hand tightly and said, "I understand your emotions. We'll go to visit her when she wakes up. Please, stop crying now."

Hiram tenderly wiped off the tears from the corner of her eyes. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He didn't say anything else but silently clung to her.

After some time, Carl came over to them and said, "Hiram, Rachel, Mrs. Ruan is awake now."

Carl's words instantly brightened up Rachel's sad face. She jumped up with joy and quickly strode towards the entrance of the in-patient building.

Hiram's sadness instantly vanished into thin air as he saw Rachel going away joyfully. He grinned calmly.

"Carl, please tell my mom about my mother-in-law's accident. Ask her to come to the hospital if she is free, " Hiram told Carl. Then, he also went to the ward.

Fannie had been transferred to an exclusive ward. Hiram had arranged for two care workers to take turns to look after Fannie the whole day.

"Mom!" When she entered the ward, Rachel saw a care worker feeding Fannie some water.

Though Fannie's face was still a little pale, she looked much better after waking up.

"Rachel..." Fannie reached out to Rachel. She was weak after the surgery. She grinned slightly and said in a weak voice, "I'm all right. It's nothing serious. My right leg was hit by a car. Don't worry about me. I will recover after a good rest!"

Fannie tried to reassure Rachel. But in fact, her condition was a little serious than that.

The bone of her right leg was broken, which also caused tear of some ligaments in her leg, that was why her surgery had taken so long.

"Mom! It's my fault. I didn't look after you. I should've let you go with me yesterday. If you had gone there with me, we might have just argued with uncle and aunt. They wouldn't have dared to hurt you in front of me, " Rachel said with guilt.

Rachel regretted that she didn't let Fannie go with her to the restaurant yesterday. As she and Hiram were there, Selina wouldn't dare to do anything to hurt her mother.

Her mother wouldn't have met Selina on the road, resulting in her getting knocked down by a car. Rachel really felt sorry for her mother.

Fannie shook her head and said, "Rachel, don't blame yourself. I always believe in fate. This was meant to happen, so it did. No one can escape from their destiny. It's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself, understand?"

Fannie had gone out to buy something at that time. She happened to meet Colin and Selina on the roadside near the neighborhood. The couple seemed to have suffered from great humiliation. So when they saw Fannie, their anger instantly erupted, and they straight away began arguing with Fannie.

Colin and Selina insisted that Fannie had cheated the Rong family and married her daughter to Hiram. Hiram had seen Rachel first, so he didn't like Vicky.
