Chapter 474 Calm Down And Think Straight (1/2)

The car was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.

The silence in the atmosphere suffocated Rachel.

They went on their way back to H City.

Rachel had no recollection of getting out of the car and going home. Standing before the gates, she found that it was almost dark.

Rachel forced a smile for Jonny and Joyce, and then she told Fannie that she was tired and needed some rest. In low spirits, Rachel dragged herself upstairs and locked herself in the room.

In the bathroom, the cold water dripped down Rachel's head. Sitting inside the bathtub, she curled up and hugged herself.

She needed to sooth the pain in her heart.

Rachel remained in the bathroom until dawn. Towards morning, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked towards the bed.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, Rachel drifted off to oblivion.

Rachel didn't know how long she slept. She vaguely heard someone call her name, but she was too sleepy to respond.

Several hours later, Rachel opened her eyes and found herself in a stark white room. 'Where am I? This isn't my home, ' she thought groggily. The room smelled strongly of disinfectant.

That was when she realized that she was in the hospital.

”Did you want to kill yourself? You soaked yourself in cold water overnight. Do you know you've caught pneumonia?”

The voice sounded very angry and the words pounded her head. Rachel turned her head and looked at the man standing by the window.

At the same time, Hiram also turned around to face her. They gazed into each other's eyes.

Rachel struggled to sit up. Her lips were lifeless and parched, her eyes sparkling with tears. She wished to speak but stopped.
