Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179 His Promise

“Ah!”

An ear-splitting scream broke the silence of the early morning.

Rachel pushed Eddison, who was sleeping soundly while hugging her, away. She shouted, “You! Me! Last night, did we…”

Eddison fell to the ground with an exasperated look on his face.

“Aren’t you embarrassed for saying you won’t get drunk from a few drinks? You got drunk after drinking just a bit! Then, you pestered me to play with you!”

Rachel blinked her eyes, and recalled a few fragments of memories from the night before. It seemed like what Eddison said was true!

“What did we play?”

Eddison yawned and stood up, “What do you think?”

Rachel’s face suddenly flushed red. She could not remember anything! Since they were both sleeping together, therefore the night before…

The more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed of herself!

Rachel apologized in an embarrassed manner, “I-I’m sorry!”

Eddison was stunned, “Why are you apologizing to me? Didn’t I tell you last night that I’ll be with you in the future?”

Rachel felt warm in her heart. Had they made such a promise the night before?

She thought about it carefully, and he seemed to have indeed said such words.

“Alright!”

Rachel took a deep breath. Their relationship was getting a fresh new start!

…

After lunch, Rachel asked the driver to send her to school but she was stopped by Eddison. He said, “There’s no need for that. Just get in my car!”

Rachel was stunned. “Your car?”

“That’s right! What’s wrong with that?”

“Wouldn’t doing that be the same as announcing our relationship to the public?”

The school was usually crowded in the morning, and although Eddison had always kept a low profile at school, he was somewhat popular because of his handsome appearance and good academic performance.

If the two of them were to appear together, it would be equivalent to announcing their relationship to the world.

Although she had looked forward to such a moment, she was still a little nervous when it finally arrived.

Eddison nodded, “That’s right! Didn’t I say that I’ve already decided to be with you? Since I’ve said it, I must show my sincerity! Is there any problem with that?”

“No…” Rachel lowered her head, and her eyes were slightly wet.

She was being a little too pathetic, but she was terribly overjoyed!

“No, there isn’t!”

Even so, she took the time to tidy herself up again, although she had already done so earlier.

…

At the school gates, it was the time when most people were arriving. Rachel was a little nervous so she took a deep breath. The next second, Eddison held the back of her hand with his big hand.

“Don’t worry!”

Her nervous heart finally felt at ease, and she smiled at Eddison.

The driver stopped the car, and Eddison was the first to get off.

Rachel followed closely behind. Just as she was about to step out of the car, she heard a familiar voice coming from nearby.

“Eddie!”

Sierra was dressed in a sorry state as she appeared next to them. Her hair was messy and she looked very pitiful.

“Save me, Eddie!”

Eddison supported her and said, “How did this happen?”

Sierra had not even had the chance to say anything before she fainted.

“Sierra!” Eddison shouted and hurriedly carried Sierra to the backseat of the car. However, because she was unconscious and could not move on her own, the back seat became a little crowded.

Rachel immediately got out of the car from the side. In fact, she was also a little shocked.

“Eddison, Sierra…”

It was just that at that moment, Eddison’s mind was completely focused on Sierra, therefore he did not hear what Rachel said at all.

“To the hospital!”

By the time Eddison finished his words, the car had already sped away!

Rachel was left standing there alone. Her heart gradually fell.

The school spread the rumors very quickly. It only took one short morning and Rachel had already known the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Sierra’s boyfriend, Jairus, was a bad guy. In the past, he relied on the fact that he was rich and had hurt many girls.

However, ever since he started to pursue Sierra, his behavior was well. Everyone thought that he had turned over a new leaf. However, in the end, he went back to how he was before.

After the honeymoon period with Sierra, he began to ignore her and mess around with other girls.

Sierra was pretty and had many fans. How could she bear such behavior? Therefore, she went to look for him to confront him.

Jairus got mad and threw punches and kicks at her. He even asked her to pay him back all the gifts and money he had spent on her.

Although Sierra was quite miserable, the other students did not have much sympathy for her. Most of them laughed at her.

They all said that it served her right for being with him!

Rachel took a deep breath. In fact, Sierra really was in a pitiful state!

When it was finally lunch time, Rachel found a chance to call Eddison as she wanted to ask him about Sierra’s condition. However, the call rang on for a long time, yet Eddison did not pick up.

She could only send a message, asking, “Is she alright?”

However, there was no reply from Eddison either.

After school was over, some of the students in the school proposed to pay Sierra a visit at the hospital. Due to the fact that Rachel had been invited to the gathering that was organized by Sierra last time, she was dragged into joining them too.

…

In the hospital, Sierra was arranged to stay in a single-person ward.

When everyone entered the ward, they were quite surprised. They started to discuss among each other, “Isn’t she poor? How could she be admitted to such a ward when she no longer has a rich boyfriend?”

Indeed, the private hospitals abroad were all expensive, and a single-person’s ward was even more luxurious.

“It should be Eddison who arranged this for her, right?” someone said. “I saw that it was Eddison who sent her here this morning!”

“That’s impossible, isn’t it? I remember that he’s from an average family! Don’t many people say that he’s just a poor student?”

“You all don’t understand, do you? Eddison’s family background is ordinary, but sometimes, man will do their best for the people they love! Don’t you know that Eddison has always liked Sierra?”

“Oh, my! She’s so lucky!”

“Forget it, it’s too late to be envious!”

Everyone was discussing Eddison’s background. Only Rachel was looking at Eddison who was sitting in the chair next to the sick bed.

His clothes from the morning were now wrinkled. There were still some blood stains on them. It must have been stained when he sent Sierra to the hospital.

He must be incredibly tired from running around in the hospital, coupled with the fact that he had slept late the night before. Everyone was talking for some time but he was still asleep.

Not far from his seat was where Sierra laid.

The sun came in through the window, casting beautiful halos on both of them. It looked just like a scene from a picture book.

Rachel suddenly felt that she was probably the one who was delusional.

“Get out!”

Sierra’s sudden shout woke Rachel up from her trance.

“Who let you all in? Get out of here!”

When Sierra woke up, she found that she was surrounded by a group of women. She could not accept it for a while as she looked very ugly at the moment. She knew that everyone was laughing at her in their hearts. Of course, she did not want to face any of them.

“Why are you acting like this?” Everyone grumbled unhappily, “We came to visit you out of good intentions!”

“Did you guys come to visit me or to laugh at me? You think that I don’t know your intentions? Get out, all of you! Leave!”

The shout also woke Eddison up. He stood up and stood in front of Sierra.
