Chapter 172 Baby, Stop
Chapter 172 Baby, Stop
Rachel picked up his cell phone and scrolled through Hiram's contacts. She remembered a doctor
named Hardy often came to visit her last time when she was in the hospital. Apparently, he also
belonged to the Rong family.
"Dr. Hardy Rong? This is Rachel speaking. Something is wrong with Hiram... Can you come over?
His body temperature is very low, and his face has gone pale...
What? Call an ambulance?
Oh, yes, of course, but please hurry up!"
Rachel hung up the phone, and looked at Hiram, lying in front of her. Her eyes suddenly welled up with Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
tears. She didn't know what to do to wake him up; she just rubbed his cheeks from time to time, "Hiram,
please wake up... You're scaring me…"
When she fell ill, in the past, her body temperature was high, but Hiram's body temperature was
tremendously low!
After she had just described some symptoms of him, Hardy instantly said that she must call an
ambulance. Fortunately, he was on duty tonight and would come with the ambulance later!
Panic-stricken, Rachel waited for the dreaded wait to be over. Finally, she heard the ambulance roaring
outside and immediately ran out to open the door.
Hardy let the hospital staff take the stretcher inside as he walked into the room to check up on Hiram.
"I think he is in shock. Has he not been resting properly in the past few days?" After a quick check up,
Hardy quickly got up and asked the staff members to put Hiram on the stretcher.
Rachel was still in shock, but she soon came to her senses and nodded hesitantly, "Maybe, when I was
in danger, he might have been under a lot of stress because of that…"
Did he sleep well even once?
"Don't worry, I will give him a complete check up in the hospital!" Hardy comforted her, knowing the fact
that Hiram was a workaholic, who wouldn't go to sleep before the work was completed.
Moreover, Rachel's incident must have pushed him to the limit. It was no wonder his body couldn't
handle the pressure.
Rachel rushed into her room and packed a few things, and then she got on the ambulance.
In the hospital, Rachel looked at Hiram, worriedly, who was lying in bed, comatose.
No wonder he didn't come out after entering his bedroom. As it turned out, he fainted after he finally
brought her back home.
Tears streamed down from her eyes, like a waterfall. Rachel leaned against his chest, and cried. She
used to hate him so much.
For a time, Rachel thought that Hiram was a self-centered person, and that she was not important to
him at all. Rachel had the impression that, Hiram would not give importance to the value of her life.
At that moment, however, her heart ached with sadness when she realized that he must have fainted
because of her.
Hardy mentioned that he would not wake up quickly, as he was physically depleted. Therefore, Hiram
would only wake up after his body had fully regained its strength.
Soon, Rachel fell asleep after she stayed up for hours. When she woke up the next day, Hiram was still
in the same state.
Seeing him lying in bed like that mentally drained all her energy and motivation to do anything. Rachel
casually ate a bit of food and waited for Hiram in his ward.
Hiram was asleep for two days. Finally, in the early morning of the next day, he woke up.
Rachel was still asleep, when she vaguely felt someone hugging her. She opened her eyes in
confusion and saw Hiram's handsome, but pale face. He was looking at her.
"You're awake."
Rachel smiled when she saw him, as she couldn't keep her happiness at bay, and happily threw her
arms round his neck tightly.
"Hiram, why don't you take care of your body? Do you think that you are made of steel? Why can't you
just take a good rest once in a while?" Rachel complained, out of frustration and love.
Although Hiram was taken by surprise, his face lit up with joy when she hugged him back. He held on
to Rachel firmly and sighed, "How can I fall sleep without you?"
Hiram's words compelled her tears to break free from her eyes within a split second. "Even without me,
the world is still moving on. Life must go on. Why are you so stupid?"
"But I can't live without you..." Hiram answered gently. Then he looked deep into her eyes, as if he were
staring straight into her soul and kissed her red, luscious lips.
Rachel frowned when he kissed her.
She finally realized that
She loved and hated Hiram, at the same time, from the bottom of her heart!
Her love for Hiram was as deep as her hatred for him!
Suddenly, Rachel kissed him back. The taste of her sweet kiss was a cocktail of both love and hate.
Unlike just any other kiss, hers was filled with strong emotions, complicated and intense. Rachel bit his
lips as if to vent out her anger on him
Hiram gripped her waist tighter and closer. His heartbeat paced like a wild animal running after its prey.
He was unable to quell his strong desire to sleep with her.
Rachel, however, did not stop at that, even though his lips were starting to swell up because of the
biting.
"Baby, stop..."
Hiram suddenly stopped and took a deep breath. After attempting to slow down his rapid breathing, he
looked at the woman in front of him and said, "If you continue to kiss me, I am afraid I will not be able to
control myself."
Rachel let go of him, and looked at his pale face. "Right now, you can't even stand up by yourself.
Where will you get the strength?"
"Do you want to try?" Hiram laughed, and yet sounded serious.
Rachel had underestimated a man's energy, especially his.
Rachel silently turned away. Her cheeks flushed. "You've just woken up from a coma. Take care of your
body. Now that you are okay, I must go!"
Rachel stood up without hesitation. Hiram felt miserable again. "Honey, I just woke up. How could you
have the heart to leave me alone here. I even can't stand up on my own."
Rachel looked at him, stunned and dumbfounded, and then pointed her finger towards the door.
"There are many nurses in this hospital. I have seen them taking a sneak peek at you several times.
Also, I've already told them to take care of you. I'm sure they will be happy to do that!"
With his perfect figure and good-looks, no matter where he went, there would always be a lot of young
girls fawning over him.
Hiram frowned, then lay on the bedside and looked at her with both hands under his head. "Then just
go."
Rachel was ready to leave, but she sensed that something was wrong. Why he didn't persuade her to
stay?
"Why aren't you leaving? Since you've already wanted to separate with me, why do you still care about
my health? Go, and do what you want. I promise I will not interfere with your life."
Hiram leaned against the bed comfortably; he found a box of cigarettes he had left inside his pocket.
Rachel stood by the door and looked at him for a while, then walked out of the door.
After she left, Hiram picked up his mobile phone and made a phone call.
"Daniel, move Rachel's desk into the secretary's office next to mine. Yeah… I will come back to work
today."
It was 6 a.m., when Rachel got out of the hospital. From there, she went straight to the company.
It was still quite early when she arrived at the company. She went to the display board to check her
work schedule.
Daniel had come back to work very early that day. When she got to her desk, Rachel found some new
documents waiting for her.
Rachel opened the file and found that it was the work Daniel had arranged for her during the days
when she was absent.
After she sat down, she started working from the start. While she was swamped with work, Her desk
was suddenly being lifted, and the wires of her computer were pulled out, simultaneously. Rachel was
about to explode in anger!
