"Rainie!"
Although they knew that the medicine was not a threat to Rainie, Mango was still scared out of her wits when she saw such a frightening scene.
However, Rainie waved her hand. Her face was dreadfully pale, but she sat up by herself.
Her emotions were in an utter mess right now. She felt happy and excited, but she was also upset and devastated.
If Thomas hadn't done that, she would have told him about the good news about her being a mother. In fact, Thomas would definitely be over the moon upon knowing it. However, now there was no need to say it anymore.
Meanwhile, Mango did not say anything else and silently accompanied her by her side.
After a long time, Rainie finally whispered, "Mango, I want to go out for a walk."
"I'll accompany you."
"I want to go out alone. Can you lend me a car? I see a sports car in the garage."
Mango was taken aback by Rainie's request. However, she still nodded when she thought of
Rainie's current mood.
"Take care of yourself. If anything happens, let me know."
"Alright."
Rainie nodded in reply.
After that, Mango found a sports car that was more durable and safer before handing it over to Rainie.
Then, Rainie took the car keys and went out.
She drove very fast and sped across the road. After going out of the urban area, she headed straight for the suburbs.
In fact, someone had given her a location, and she was driving towards the destination.
Rainie drove the car to the southern suburbs, where there happened to be a car racing competition.
She parked the car nicely and got off.
In front of her, the cars were speeding across the circuit as they chased after each other.
Rainie listened to the sound of the car engines, and she was immersed in her thoughts.
Not long after, a man wearing a racing suit and a helmet came over.
"Care to join us for two laps?"
"Nah, I'm not good at it."
She refused directly.
"Sit beside me, and I'll run you through a few rounds. It's very exciting, and I guarantee that it'll get rid of all your worries."
There was a hint of temptation in the man's voice.
Rainie frowned slightly, but she still got on the man's car.
When the car started, the engine's roar was deafening, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. However, Rainie was still felt alive as the car sped across the circuit.
It was an exhilarating and intense experience, which made her both nervous and scared. Therefore, she couldn't help holding the hand next to her, but she didn't scream like the other women.
The man could see that Rainie was very tense. He shouted at the top of his voice, "No one here knows you. If you are afraid, you can shout out. You'll feel better this way!"
In the beginning, Rainie couldn't be herself. However, finally, she screamed at the top of her lungs as the car sped up again.
Her piercing voice echoed in the car and disappeared with the wind.
Upon seeing this, the man's lips lifted slightly.
However, he didn't slow down his driving at all.
After they had gone around for two laps, Rainie was exhausted.
In the end, the man helped her down as she leaned against the corner and gasped for breath. No one knew whether she was crying or sweating.
This was the first time she had vented her emotions so heartily after the incident with Thomas. Although it was tiring, she felt extremely refreshed.
