Chapter 432 No More Thanks To Me, Please!
A little while after Rachel had accompanied Celine into her ward, she woke up and began to look at the
unfamiliar environment in confusion.
"Ahh, you're awake finally!" Rachel said, as she looked at her and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she
gave her a glass of warm water and said,"You can't eat food now. Just drink some liquids first."
Hearing Rachel's words, Celine slowly turned to her and glazed over blankly for a while, before
asking,"Rachel, what has happened to me?"
With a mixture of anger, aggravation and worry, Rachel looked at her and repeated,"What happened?
Celine, my dear, how can you do this to yourself? Who does that Philip think he is? Is he really worth
dying for?"
The harsh words of her friend reminded Celine of what she had done. Then, she rubbed her aching
head and touched her upset tummy, before saying,"I, I...... just drank some wine this afternoon. Then, I
got a little emotional and took some drugs."
As the vague memory of her madness gradually surfaced to her consciousness, Celine seemed
astonished and kept scratching her head. How could she have caused to herself such a stupid and
dangerous thing?
Rolling her eyes at her, Rachel said in astonishment,"Oh my god! Celine, you don't really know the
consequence of your crazy obsession, do you? Damn it! I'll ask Hiram to take that bastard here by
force tomorrow."
"No, don't do this, please! If you bring him here and let him see me in such a miserable physical
condition, I would feel very embarrassed," Celine begged, grabbing Rachel's hands,"Please, promise
me that you will never tell anyone else about this. If you are asked, you can just say that I was sent to
the hospital due to acute gastritis, okay?"
One thing was sure - she had very strong self-esteem and a fragile ego. If someone happened to know
that she has been hospitalized because of drug abuse, her personal image in the company would be
completely damaged.
"Okay, I promise you. Don`t worry! But you also have to promise me that you will never do such stupid
things any more!" Rachel said earnestly and wholeheartedly.
"Take it easy, darling. I'm not going to be that foolish and weak again. All that happened was that I just
drank some wine and got too emotional today. There is no way that I will be stupid enough to kill
myself," Celine assured her.
"By the way, why did you want to come to find me today?" Celine asked in an inquisitive tone.
Still cringing fearfully at the thought of what could have possibly happened, if she hadn't been there on
time, Rachel said,"I asked Hiram to find you some fine dates. So at first I wanted to call you and ask
you out tomorrow. However, I couldn't get through to you on the phone. I became very worried about
you and then came straight to your house to search for you."
After nodding and taking a deep liberating breath, Celine whispered,"Rachel, thank you so much!
Otherwise, I would be ashamed to meet my late parents in heaven, if I had really died for such a
ridiculous reason."
No doubt, she realized clearly that if it hadn't been for Rachel's timely arrival, she would have been
dead by now.
Soon, Hiram and Hardy walked into the ward.
Seeing that Rachel`s husband had come, Celine sat up and said with respect and thankfulness,"Mr.
Rong, I am so sorry for all the trouble, caused by me."
"Don`t even mention it. You don't need to apologize. Rachel's concern is also my concern. This is
Hardy. He works at this hospital. If you need anything, just tell him."
Hiram said softly.
Stepping forward, Hardy came close to Celine to greet her and said warmly,"Hello, I'm Hardy. Any
friend of Rachel is also a friend of mine. This is my phone number. If you need anything, please, feel
free to call me,"
Hardy said. Looking up to him, she was excited to find out that he not only wore a pair of elegant
glasses, but was also very handsome. Then, she nodded back at him with a huge smile and
replied,"Thank you, Dr. Rong! Thank you, Mr. Hiram!"
Turning all his undivided and devoted attention back to Rachel, he spoke to her in a soft and loving
voice,"Darling, since Celine is fine now, can we go home and have a good rest?"
It was already 3 o'clock in the morning, so she also felt very tired.
"Rachel, you haven't had any sleep by now. Just go back home with Hiram and relax. You can come to
see me tomorrow," Celine affirmed, as it suddenly occurred to her that her faithful friend has been busy
all night, taking care of her and making sure she is alright.
Looking at her worriedly, Rachel replied with care,"Alright, you yourself should also take a good rest.
Don't ever do anything stupid anymore, okay? You scared me to death!"
Nodding her head with a perky playful smile, Celine responded,"I assure you that I won't do that again.
I already learned my lesson."
After Rachel had finished her conversation, she walked out of the ward, together with Hiram and Hardy.
"Hardy, please take good care of Celine. She has been through a lot, just lost a relationship and at the
moment her emotional system is not stable. I will visit her again this afternoon," Rachel pleaded to the
doctor worriedly.
"Don`t worry, you can count on me. I will arrange some nurses to keep track of her status every once in
a while. Besides, I will also make sure to check on her in person every hour," Hardy said, smiling
sweetly and with anticipation. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Gently putting arms around Rachel's shoulders, Hiram consoled her,"Relax, honey, nothing is going to
happen to Celine."
"Hmm," Rachel nodded with deep relief and answered,"Let's go home."
She trusted Hiram completely and knew if he dared to say something, he must have his own ways to
make that happen.
It was already near daybreak, when Rachel and Hiram finally made it home.
However, as soon as they stepped into the house, they found that Fannie, who always got up early in
the morning, had already been in the living room.
"What? Did you just get up or are you coming back now?" Fannie asked with astonishment, staring at
the two of them.
Winking at Hiram, Rachel gave a signal to him to go back to their room first.
Then, she grabbed her mom`s arm and walked together with her towards her room.
"What? Are you serious? Celine tried to kill herself!" Fannie exclaimed, unable to hide her utter surprise
and bewilderment."It, it should not be like this! I can not believe it. She looks good-tempered all the
time! How could she do such a stupid thing to herself?"
Lying comfortably in bed, with her head supported on Fannie's shoulders, Rachel whispered from the
bottom of her heart,"Hiram has found several fine dates for her, so I was excited to introduce them to
her. However, I couldn't reach her, when I called on the phone. So immediately a terrible worry and fear
about her safety overcame me. A fatal ending was so close!
Mom, I'm actually very scared after the event. If I had not been there or had forgotten to call her,
perhaps she would have died."
Patting her daughter on the back, Fannie said with wisdom and care,"It means that she is fated not to
die at such a young age. Don`t overthink about that now, my dear. It is behind your back and what
matters is that she is safe and intact.
By the way, when you go to see her tomorrow, remember to take me with you! I'd like to visit her too!"
Nodding her head, Rachel promised,"Okay, mom! Then, I think it is finally time to go back to my room
and have a good rest now."
"Okay, go then! You sure deserve it after all the stress you went through today." Fannie replied, as she
softly glided the back of the hands of her good-hearted daughter.
When getting out of Fannie's room, Rachel found that it was much brighter than when they came back.
She then stretched herself with a yawn and went upstairs by elevator instead of staircase.
In their bedroom...
Hiram hadn't slept yet. When he saw that Rachel entered the room, he patted gently on the empty
space of the bed beside him and said,"Come and have some sleep."
Rachel took off her clothes and tuck herself in. It sure felt so nice to cuddle in Hiram's arms, so she
opened up to him and whispered softly,"Honey, thank you so much!"
"Don't be silly, dear. What do you thank me for? Am I a stranger to you? No more giving "thanks" in the
future, alright? I'm your man and I'm always here to protect you and the people important to you. You
should never fear anything." Hiram said softly, as he closed his eyes and gently rubbed her hair.
However, Rachel didn't make any sound. She just smiled, raised her head towards her loving, amazing
man and gave him a big juicy kiss on the mouth.
For a fraction of a second, Hiram opened his weary eyes and looked deeply in her eyes. Soon, he
found that the drowsiness that had captured him gradually, faded away completely and was replaced
by his growing sexual desire.
"Hmm."
His lips kissing hers back, made her moan in surprise, as she was just lying there and about to get
some sleep.
