Chapter 171 He Was In A Coma
"… Rachel, go back home with me."
Rachel slowly nced at Patrick and then quickly red back at Hiram. Did he only give his undying
attention to her when he felt threatened?
To Hiram, Rachel was like one of his personal belongings. Although he was reluctant to part with her, if
push came to shove, he was willing to bite down and give her up.
However, once things went back to normal, his strong sense of possessiveness wouldpel him to
get her back.
"I''ll ride back home, "

Said Rachel. Then she turned around and asked the worker to unload her motorcycle from the cart.
Soon, Rachel''s motorcycle was unloaded. She put on her helmet, twisted the motorcycle handlebar
and rode away.
Rachel knew that Hiram was following her in his Maybach.
All of a sudden, Hiram sped up and stopped right in front of her, blocking her way.
Hiram got out of his car, strode towards her and then sat on her motorcycle.
"I wanna go for a ride too. How about I drive the motorcycle, Rachel?"
Rachel looked at Hiram, who was now sitting behind her, and frigidly said, "Sorry, I only have one
helmet. Go back to your Maybach!"
"Who said there is only one?"
Chad passed Hiram a helmet. Surprised, Rachel wondered how they managed to find the time to buy a
helmet.
Rachel didn''t answer. She twisted her handlebar again and continued to ride off in her motorcycle.
As they rode on, the rugged road made Rachel''s back stiff. Hiram''s hands were on her waist; he was
practically, hugging her from the back, but not just for safety purpose. He held onto her so tightly that it
seemed like he was bing a part of her body.
"Stop hiding from me… Please?" pleaded Hiram. Although, Rachel was not a very good driver, Hiram
enjoyed riding with her, as the fast wind kissed their faces on the road.
"I''m not hiding from you. I just need to go out and rx. I came across Mr. Yan by ident, " Rachel
took a deep breath and said to Hiram. She watched as the river flowed onwards, swiftly and boldly
under the bridge.
In any case, she and Hiram were still a married couple. It was necessary for her to exin things to her
husband.
If it hadn''t been for Patrick''s constant nagging and pestering, she wouldn''t have gone out with him.
"I know. You don''t need to exin to me, " Hiram whispered in Rachel''s ears. Rachel felt a slight tickle
in her ear when Hiram whispered, so she twitched awkwardly. Hiram smiled at her and suggested,
"There''s a nice ce with a good view up ahead. How about we get off the motorcycle and take a
walk?"
Hiram knew Patrick very well. If Patrick had made up his mind to do something, he would stop at
nothing.
Therefore, if he insisted Rachel going with him, it must have been impossible for her to say no.
They stopped at a bridge and enjoyed the gentle breeze that blew into their faces. The sunset was
absolutely breathtaking.
"What do you think about that? The thing I mentioned earlier." Rachel was still sitting on the
motorcycle. She looked away from the sunset and asked Hiram, who was standing next to her.
Hiram''s face shrivelled with sadness. He crossed his arms and looked at the sunset, "What?"
He knew what she was talking about. Rachel sighed and replied, "Divorce."
Hiramughed out loud when he heard Rachel, but there was a strong hint of sadness in hisughter.
"Do you think that''s possible? I have done everything in my power to make you go to the court with me
to nullify the agreement. I didn''t do that to get a divorce."
Not to mention the fact that Rachel had attracted a few men already. If she was divorced, there was no
guarantee that they wouldn''t try to steal her from him.
The root of the problem was- how could Hiram let Rachel leave him now?
"Hiram. I''m not kidding. I''m being serious." Rachel emphasized again, although she didn''t know how he
found out that she was in the Salt Sea City.
"I''m being serious too. Rachel, I can promise you anything you want, except this!" Hiram turned his
head around and stared into her eyes.
She was special to him.
No matter how angry or furious he was, as soon as he saw Rachel, all his anger would disappear.
Rachel took a deep breath. She knew that he wouldn''t agree so easily, so she made apromise.
"Alright then, let''s split up. I wanna live with my mom."
Hiram looked at her with despair in his eyes. Rachel''s words were hurtful. He furrowed his eye-brows
and said, "Okay, if it makes you happy, then so be it. You cane back and live with me when you''re
not mad at me.
But don''t ever think that I''ll let you go!
''You''re mine. Nothing in this world will ever change that!'' he thought.
Neither of them spoke another word. They silently watched as the sun set behind the horizon, painting
the sky shades of tangerine and red. They left soon after.
Rachel went back to Laura''s house again to say goodbye to Jasmine and Mars. She gave them the
french fries and hamburgers she had bought for them when she was riding back.
"You can eat junk food once in a while, but do not eat them all the time, okay?" Rachel patted Mars''
head gently and smiled.
"Jasmine, I''m leaving now. I''lle to visit you next time!" Rachel looked at Jasmine standing there in
the corner. Her eyes were brimming with tears.
Jasmine nodded her head, crying.
"Aunt, here is the money from the delivery..." Rachel had almost forgotten about the money. She
quickly took out the money from her pocket and ced it on the table.
Laura sighed, "Rachel, what are you doing? Am I not your aunt?"
"No, aunt. I know you work very hard to make a living. It''s your money. Next time, when I have time, I''ll
then she went to her bedroom to get her luggage.
Hiram was waiting for Rachel outside the door. He walked up to Rachel and took the luggage from her
hands when he saw her. But before he walked to his car, he nodded at Laura politely to pay his
respects.
By the time Rachel and Hiram got back to the H City, it was already 12 at midnight.
Rachel wanted to go home, but Hiram didn''t let her.
"Mom is sleeping now. Are you sure you want to wake her up? Besides, if you really want to spilt up,
you need to go back to the Tulip Pce to pack up all your stuff."
So, Rachel went back to the Tulip Pce with Hiram.
When they arrived, Hiram stopped pestering Rachel. He went to his bedroom and did note out
again.
Rachel went to her room to take a shower. When she came out, she realized that her luggage was still
in his trunk and her cell phone was in the luggage. She had work in the morning, so she needed to
charge her phone.
"Hiram, are you sleeping?" Rachel knocked on the door.
There was no answer.
Rachel decided to open the door. She walked into the room to ask Hiram for the key to the car.
When she walked in, she found that Hiram hadn''t taken his clothes off. Instead, he leaned against the
bedside table and fell asleep.
Rachel walked towards him and saw the key on the bedside table. She took the key and said to him, "I
am taking the key to open the car door. I''ll put it back when I get my phone."
Hiram, however, didn''t answer her.
Was he in deep sleep?
Rachel took the key with her and went downstairs to the garage to get her cell phone back. After she
finally found her phone, she returned to the bedroom and put down the key on the table.
Rachel didn''t
Realize that something was wrong, until now. She tried to wake up Hiram, but he wasn''t responding.
Besides, shouldn''t he be ufortable sleeping there like that?
"Hiram?"
Rachel bent down to check on Hiram. She patted his face, "Hiram, why didn''t you take off your clothes
before you went to…"
Rachel didn''t finish her words. She furrowed her eyebrows the moment she touched his face. It was
very cold; as cold as ice.
Under the dim bed light, Hiram''s face looked as white as snow.
"Hiram…"
Rachel eximed. She shook his shoulders forcibly as she called out his name.
"Hiram, wake up!"
"Wake up. Don''t sleep!"
When Rachel realized that Hiram might have gone into aa, she was so terrified that her face
turned pale.
