Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 228 Shirley Had A Miscarriage

Shirley had intended to upset Rachel at the dining table. By the use of her pregnancy, she already tried

hard enough to capture Hiram's undivided attention. However, Hiram's attention was entirely set on

Rachel. It infuriated Shirley. Taking just one look at Rachel, she quickly turned her back towards her

and went to her room after dinner.

However, in the attempt to feel better, she couldn't even find peace in her room either. Since Hiram's

room was adjacent to hers, she felt even more irritated and upset. The mere thought of Rachel living

together with him in the next room, made her feel truly uncomfortable.

Although the room was soundproof, Shirley thought she could hear Rachel and Hiram talking and

laughing outrageously. She felt very jealous, so much so that she felt like she was about to lose her Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

mind. Exiting her room, she knocked on Hiram's door.

After waiting for a response, the door opened, and Hiram appeared. "What's wrong, Shirley?" he

asked, standing at the door.

"Hiram, I don't know what it is, but I feel uncomfortable. Can you please accompany me for a walk

around the garden?" Shirley said in a faint and weak voice, without any confidence at all.

Thinking of Shirley's question, Hiram called out," Rachel, Shirley invited us to go for a walk with her. Do

you want to go?"

"Okay, I'm coming," replied Rachel as she took a brisk walk towards the door. "Shirley, are you sure

you want to walk around? I think you had better stay in bed and get some rest. Are you sure you're

able to walk now? You shouldn't stay out too long. That won't be good for my baby."

Shirley felt extremely angry to hear Rachel refer to the baby as hers, but she had to control herself in

front of Hiram. "It doesn't matter, Rachel. I feel fine. Going for a walk won't hurt me, nor the baby,"

replied Shirley.

"Well, okay then, if you insist. Just wait a minute, please. I'm just going to change my shoes," Rachel

said to Hiram, smiling.

Once Rachel returned with her shoes, she took Hiram by the hand, and they proceeded to walk

together towards the stairs.

Suddenly, Shirley felt bouts of pain in her stomach, as Hiram and Rachel continued to walk in front of

her. "Hiram... My, my stomach... It hurts. Please help me!" cried Shirley as she lowered her body to the

ground and held her stomach with both hands.

The couple stopped subtly. Hiram looked at Rachel with a serious expression on his face and shook his

head. Rachel couldn't help but force a smile as Hiram walked towards Shirley. She didn't want to seem

rude. Hiram approached Shirley," What's wrong now? Do you need me to call the doctor?" asked

Hiram, who was just standing aside without offering her a hand.

Taking Hiram's arm voluntarily, Shirley said," No need to call a doctor. I know what's wrong. I've had an

upset stomach on and off, during the past two days. Don't worry about it. I'll recover soon."

Rachel noticed exactly what Shirley was doing, which was why she continued to walk ahead of them.

Hiram stared at Rachel's back as she walked further away from him. His expression suggested that he

was rather worried about her.

"Hiram, I want to tell you something. I don't like the name Jonny," Shirley said. She wasn't paying any

attention to the look on Hiram's face, as he stared at Rachel walking away from them. "Once the baby

is born, I would like to give it a fresh, new name that is more meaningful than the name Jonny. What do

you think?"

Shirley said carefully, as she cast a glance at Rachel, who was now too far to even hear them speak.

"I think Jonny is fine. We shouldn't change it. Why, do you have a problem with it?" Hiram asked. He

continued to walk without even looking at Shirley.

"Well, yes. Of course, Jonny is a good name, but I don't like it. I want to give my baby a name myself."

As Shirley continued to talk, they arrived at the garden, which seemed even greener at night, than it did

in the morning.

"Shirley, I'm not going to repeat myself. Jonny is the name of my future son, whether you like it or not.

Whatever you feel about it, doesn't matter.

Once the baby is born, it won't have anything to do with you. I'll be its mother and care for it. You'll be

free to marry another man that wants you, and have your own baby. Until then, you have to wait before

you have your own son and then you can call him whatever you like." Rachel suddenly said with a

serious expression on her face.

Shirley was utterly enraged. In fact, she was so angry, that she felt another sharp pain in her stomach.

"Hiram, did you just hear what Rachel said to me? She is mean to me.

The child is my baby. I should have a right to name it. I conceived our baby. It's ours. Why should my

baby call her mother at all? You should speak for me," said Shirley, in her attempt to persuade Hiram

as she held his arm tighter.

"Shirley, why are you bothered about the name of an unborn baby? You're fully aware of our situation.

Rachel is my wife, and this baby is mine. Of course, she is its mother.

The only thing that you have to worry about, is to take care of yourself, and to give birth to the baby,

without there being any complications. After you do that, I promise you will be set for life financially. As

for the baby, you're going to give it to Rachel and me to raise," Hiram said with a cold tone in his voice.

Hiram didn't really care about the name of the baby.

It was the result of an conspiracy. He wished the baby would never be born.

Shirley seemed as though she might raise a scam artist. He didn't believe she deserved to be a

mother.

Hearing what Hiram had to say, Shirley touched her belly with both hands and took a deep breath to

calm herself down. "Hiram, let's walk back to our rooms. I feel uncomfortable..."

"Okay then," said Hiram, not showing any concern for Shirley's discomfort.

Hiram took Rachel's hand, while his other hand was still in Shirley's reach. The three of them walked

back to the house without saying a single word.

"Miss Shirley, the doctor advised you to stay in bed. Why did you go for a walk? He specifically

instructed you not to take part in any strenuous activity?" Amy said as she walked over to support

Shirley when she approached her room.

"Oh, good. Please, can you help me return to my room? I need to get some rest," Shirley held her

stomach and made her way upstairs slowly, with the support of Amy.

At that moment, Shirley was feeling quite sick. Rachel came up to her and asked," Are you okay,

Shirley. I think I should call the doctor?"

Regardless of how Rachel felt about the entire situation with Shirley, she was still worried about her.

She walked to the other side of Shirley to stretch out her hand, trying to hold onto her.

Shirley felt like her pain was increasing at the sight of Rachel. Frustrated with her, she pushed away

Rachel's hand and exclaimed," Leave me alone! Don't you pretend to be kind to me. I know what kind

of person you are."

"Shirley, I've made it clear to you. I will accept the child. I've already explained everything to you. Why

are you still treating me like this?" Rachel said in a patient tone.

She offered her hand to Shirley once more. "Rachel, just leave me alone! I don't want to see you at all!"

said Shirley, as she pushed Rachel away with all her strength.

Rachel grabbed hold of Shirley's clothes at the verge of falling down the stairs. She didn't do it

purposefully.

"Watch out!"

"Oh, no..."

Accompanied with the screaming, Rachel and Shirley fell from the stairs one after the other.

Joanna ran out of her room as fast as she could after she heard the screaming. Hiram also ran over to

the staircase.

"Shirley, are you okay? How are you feeling? How's the baby?" asked Joanna as she ran towards

Shirley in a panic.

When Hiram saw what had happened, he immediately ran towards Rachel, picked her up, and carried

her to the couch. "Honey, did you get hurt?" Hiram asked as he checked her body for bruises.

Rachel shook her head and said," No, I'm fine. You must check on Shirley."

Hiram glanced at Rachel with relief and then walked towards Shirley, who was still lying on the ground.

"Shirley... Shirley... Are you all right? Say something please." Joanna kept calling Shirley, whose face

suddenly turned pale in the midst of feeling too much pain. She then noticed a stream of blood flowing

down between Shirley's legs.

"Oh no! Shirley, you, you..."

Hiram looked at the blood, without an expression on his face. "What happened? How did they fall down

the stairs?" Hiram asked, turning to Amy who seemed to be the only witness stable enough to explain

what happened.

Amy lowered her head in sadness, and said in an anxious tone," Mr. Hiram, Rachel tried to help

Shirley, but she didn't want to accept her help. She... Shirley pushed Rachel... And then they fell down

the stairs together."

Seeing Shirley lie in a puddle of blood, Joanna remained silent. She knew that Shirley had miscarried

and that the baby must have died.

In a rushed manner, Hiram called the doctor.

Well acquainted with the Rong family, the ambulance came quickly, and Shirley was sent to the

hospital.

Gavin who was in the study room at the time of the event, finally received the information, as the

ambulance came to take Shirley to the hospital.

After the family learned about what had happened, they drove to the hospital.

"Rachel, what did you do to Shirley? She couldn't have fallen down the stairs by herself." Gavin said

angrily, staring at Rachel with a heartless look on his face.
