Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 117 Got A Fever

They all got into the cars and headed back to John Zhang's farmhouse. It was almost four in the

morning when they reached.

"I guess all of you must be really tired. Come on in and have a rest. I've made some ginger soup for

you guys. It will be delivered to your rooms later." When John Zhang had heard the news that the group

had decided to climb down the mountain at midnight, he had put on his clothes immediately and started

to prepare everything for their arrival.

Everyone went back to their own bedrooms. John Zhang helped Carl wrap his wound and told him to

go to the hospital to have a thorough body check-up once he was back in H City.

People like Carl were strong, so they were fine. But others were weak, like the aged engineer. Their

condition didn't seem good.

However, even though they didn't feel good, they didn't really want to take rest until they were back in H

City. After all, this wasn't a good place for recovering.

So they just washed up, changed their clothes, had some ginger soup and went to sleep.

When they woke up, it was already afternoon, and it was time to set off for H City.

"Mr. Rong, how was your trip? I hope you had a great time at Cliff Mountain, " said John Zhang. He

needed to know Hiram's opinion so that he would have some feedback to give his boss.

Chad walked over to them.

"John, we have written down all the details about this trip in our report. When we get back to our

company, we will finish the rest of the work. After we prepare a proposal, our board will have a

discussion. Once we make a decision, we'll let you know as soon as possible."

John Zhang nodded his head. He understood that such a big project would take time. "Okay then. Well,

Hiram, would you take Jill with you?"

John was asking with an ulterior motive. Ever since Jill returned from the mountain, she hadn't said a

word. Not only that, she almost never came out of her bedroom. John wanted to know what had

happened to her up there.

Hiram was holding the car door open and watching Rachel get in. He glanced back at Daniel and said,

"Oh, I think you should ask Daniel."

"Ah?" John Zhang looked at Daniel, confused.

Daniel was loading their luggage into the trunk. Jill, who had kept peeping outside from her bedroom,

finally came out. She ran to Daniel and said cutely, "Daniel, take me with you, please.

I can do anything for you, and I'm willing to learn. As long as you take me with you, I'll take care of you

wholeheartedly!"

Daniel shut the trunk and sat on top of it. Chewing gum in his mouth, he said, "Jill, tell me the truth. I'm

not the one you want to sleep with, right?"

"I—"

"Don't lie to me. If I were your first choice, then I might take you with me, " Daniel said coldly, before

turning around and walking towards the car without so much as a glance at her.

Three cars drove away in a row and disappeared from Jill's sight soon. All she could do was stomp her

foot in anger.

Since Carl was injured, he took up the whole back seat. Gary and the aged engineer took turns to drive

the car. The four veterans were following them in another car.

And in the front-most car were Chad and Daniel in the front and Rachel and Hiram in the back.

Everyone took turns driving their respective cars. After all, it was a long journey.

Traveling in a car for a long time could be a drag, but Rachel could fall asleep, so it was fine. Since she

had stayed up last night and slept only for a few hours, she needed more rest.

"Rachel, wake up."

Hiram shook the woman who was lying on his lap. He saw that she was in a deep sleep. He touched

her forehead and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Chad, tell the rest of them to go first. You stop at a store nearby and get some hot water!"

Chad pulled over and signaled the other two cars to go first. Daniel, who had also been sleeping, woke

up and looked at the back seat. "What happened? Is she okay?"

Hiram patted Rachel's face, but she didn't wake up. Her face was burning. "She has a fever, " Hiram

said.

Daniel immediately sobered up. He looked around and said, "Shall we go to the nearby hospital?"

"We're not far from H City. Let's wait and see, " said Hiram. Rachel needed a good rest. He turned her

around so that she could lie in a comfortable position. Half of her body was really hot.

Chad came back soon with a whole bottle of hot water. He also brought some pills. "Hiram, I got some

paracetamol for Rachel. Should we let Rachel take it first? I'll speed up so that we can get to the

hospital before nine."

Hiram took the medicine from Chad and sat Rachel up. "Rachel, wake up. Take this pill…"

Rachel was still fast asleep, but she subconsciously closed her mouth.

Hiram grabbed a wet towel to wipe her face and her forehead.

He couldn't help remembering the other night when Rachel had just moved into his house. She had

had a fever then too and kept him busy the whole night.

Chad drove the car, not daring to stop. They needed to reach H City as soon as possible.

"Rachel, wake up! Can you hear me? Take this pill!" He put the pill into her mouth.

However, Rachel grimaced and spit the pill out. It was really bitter.

Hiram frowned. He popped the pill into his mouth and kept it on his tongue. Then, bending down and

lifting Rachel's chin, he kissed her and passed the pill into her mouth directly.

Daniel turned his head, embarrassed.

"Water, " Hiram said.

Daniel opened the water bottle for Hiram and gave it to him.

"Hiram, are you... serious about Rachel?" Daniel watched Hiram as he handed him the thermos. Hiram

was so concerned about Rachel. He seemed to really care about her.

Hiram used his sleeve to wipe off the water beside Rachel's mouth. Then, he lay her back down to

sleep.

"She's my wife. Of course I'm serious."

Daniel raised his eyebrows and touched the earring on his left ear. He thought back to their college

days, when Hiram hadn't been interested in girls at all. Hiram had thought that girls were trouble

makers, so there was no chance that he would hang out with one.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Even in the past two years, Hiram just treated them as acquaintances and seldom dated a girl

seriously.

"That's a surprise. I thought you would be the last one to get married. I never imagined you would be

the first!" said Daniel, looking at Rachel through the rear view mirror.

She was quite special, to be honest. It wasn't something you could tell at first sight, but once you

started to get to know her, you would definitely find her attractive.

She wasn't hot or sexy, or even sophisticated.

She was normal. But it was exactly that that made you pay attention to her, unexpectedly and out of

control.

Hiram looked at the woman lying in his arms, wondering about the fact that

It was supposed to be a fake marriage. Who knew that he would end up really falling in love with her?

"Hiram… why haven't you come back…" Rachel murmured suddenly.

She was having a nightmare about last night.

She had been waiting for Hiram the whole night, but he hadn't returned. She was alone on a cold rainy

night and it was dark.

She was cold and afraid.

Suddenly, she heard a voice from far away. "I'm back. Open your eyes. I'm here!"

Hearing this, Rachel stirred from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a white light.
