Chapter 116 Nightmare In Rainy Night (2/2)
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
four hours until they finally saw somebody approaching.
”You people should come with me. Hurry up! We've found Hiram and Carl. They're waiting for you at the foot of the mountain.” It was Murphy, and he had brought good news with him. Everyone relaxed.
They had been worrying about Carl and Hiram all night long. Now they finally knew that the two of them were safe and sound.
With Murphy guiding them, all of them reached the foot of the mountain. They couldn't wait to meet Hiram and Carl.
At the foot of the mountain, Rachel felt like her heart would burst out of happiness when she saw Hiram standing there safe and sound. She looked up and down at him from a distance.
She was exhausted from the rough night, but she felt alive again after seeing him. She couldn't help but run up to him as fast as she could.
”Hiram, here you are! Do you know how much I worried about you all night? I was so scared!”
Seeing her run up to him, Hiram opened his arms wide. He couldn't hide his smile as he said, ”Sorry, sorry for making you worry! Honey, I love you!”
Rachel clung on to him tightly. She had never felt so scared in her life. She never wanted to feel that way again.
She didn't even care about what the others would think. All she wanted to do was hold him tight. Feeling his warm body against hers made her sure that he was real and not a figment of her imagination.
Despite all the people watching them, Hiram bent down to kiss her deeply again and again. ”I promise it won't happen again. I promise. See, I'm standing right in front of you, safe and sound, ” he said between the kisses.
”Are you alright, Carl?” Rachel asked, finally detaching herself from Hiram and wiping off her tears. She wondered whether Carl was injured.
Carl was being held up by two of the others. One of his ankles was injured and cut up in many places. He shook his head and said to Rachel, ”I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry, Rachel. I'm sorry for making you worry about me.”
Daniel coughed, taking his eyes away from the scene in front of him. He spotted the cars that were approaching and shouted at everybody there, ”Come on. Let's get into the cars. It's going to rain again!”
