A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 115

David sneered, with a disapproving attitude,"That is not necessarily a misunderstanding."

What he meant was that, there were too many social climbers who would do anything and everything to marry into a rich family. He had seen plenty of such examples in his past life.

Rita turned to him in shock, as she glared at David's self-righteous expression. In a cold voice, she refuted,"You don't know Emily at all, so please keep your judgments to yourself. You have no right to talk about her like that."

"Okay, I see," replied David. David habitually compromised with Rita, as he sensed that she had a tendency to be angry. In the past few days, he had grown accustomed to coaxing her whenever she got angry and he also made sure not to lose his temper or patience with her.

Besides, Emily was not his priority. There was no need for him to quarrel with Rita about Emily's business. If he had continued the conversation, he would have far more to lose than to gain.

"Since you want to know why I am unwilling to live with you, I will tell you the reason." Rita was not in the mood to go on arguing either, so she turned switched the subject. "You see, Jacob likes Emily. How about you? Do you like me?" she asked.

David paused, as he opened his mouth but could not think of the right thing to say.

"Is it too difficult for you to answer this question?" Rita smiled, as her beautiful face became even lovelier, and said,"I'll answer this question for you. The answer is David had never liked Rita."

There was no denying the fact that even after all the years they had been together, David never really loved Rita!

Their relationship was a dead end.

"So please stop making these ridiculous requests," said Rita, sounding unconcerned.

The indifference in Rita's facial expression made David's heart ache. He wanted to explain, but he just couldn't find the right words.

An awkward silence had filled the car. With nothing else to talk about, David drove on without looking at Rita.

After a while, Rita suddenly called out his name,"David."

David took his eyes off the road to look at Rita, and found that her face had turned pale, as if the blood from her face had been drained. Frightened and confused, David asked,"What's wrong?"

"I'm feeling sick now…" Rita said in a weak tone.

"Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the nearest hospital right now..." soothed David. As his voice shook with fear, he continued,"Don't be nervous. I'm here. It's all right."

Soon after, he turned his car around and drove to the nearest hospital as fast as he could.

Rita bit her lip to hold back the tears of pain, as she put her hands on her big belly.

David, however, who had always paid attention to Rita, noticed that she was sweating profusely and trembling in pain. It was a stressful and heartbreaking time for David, as there was nothing he could do at that moment to reduce her pain.

'She must be in pain now... But everything will be fine. She's going to be fine, ' David tried to calm himself down in his mind.

When they finally arrived at the hospital, David had no time to park the car in the parking lot. He took Rita in his arms and rushed straight into the hospital.

"The patient was suffering from pain and anemia due to the complications of pregnancy. Although, the fetus was in momentary risk... everything is stable now. From now on, you should take good care of her and keep her in a happy mood."

After speaking with the doctor, David finally breathed out a sigh of relief and strode into the VIP ward.

When David walked in, Rita was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, and with an intravenous infusion in her right hand. Her face still looked a bit pale, but she seemed to be resting peacefully.

"How are you feeling now?" asked David in a fraught tone, as he was worried sick for Rita.

Rita slowly opened her eyes and glanced at David, then closed them again. "I am all right," she said.

After a short moment of silence, David asked again,"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Are you worried that your child will go hungry?" Rita sneered, and continued,"I know you well, David. Quit beating around the bush, unless you want me to think that you're a hypocrite."

In truth, David really cared about Rita. However, in her opinion, he was only concerned about the baby. After all, he had transferred all his property to her because of the baby.

David frowned, and said,"I'm talking to you nicely. Can't you stop being so rude and harsh?"

"If you can't stand me, you are more than welcome to leave," said Rita.

David was speechless.

'Well, she is not feeling well now. I should be more patient with her!'

David's feelings were hurt. He took a deep breath and walked out of the room to buy some nutritious porridge for Rita. After he got back, David put the bag on the table, when his cell phone started vibrating.

David took out his cell phone and answered the phone without even looking at it,"Hello."

"David…" In came the soft cry of a woman.

In an instant, David's facial expression changed. Suddenly, there was a hint of nervousness on his face as he glanced at Rita, who was lying in bed, completely oblivious. 'Maybe she didn't hear that, ' thought David, putting his mind at rest.

Relieved, David turned around and walked out of the ward to answer the call.

"Hello, Nora. What's going on?" David spoke to her gently as usual,"Don't cry. Tell me what happened."

"David…" Nora slowly calmed down, as she struggled to speak clearly,"I had a quarrel with Allen, and I didn't tell him that I came to Z Country..."

David quickly asked, as his expression changed instantly,"Where are you now? I'll pick you up right away."

David noted the address Nora had given him in his mind and comforted her for a while, before hanging up the phone.

When David turned around, his heart almost sank to the floor as he didn't expect to see Rita, standing not too far away from him, with no expression on her face.

The first thought that popped into David's mind was whether Rita had overheard anything. However, he soon he came to the realization that even if Rita had heard him speaking with Nora, he wasn't doing anything wrong because they were already divorced. The only thing that was keeping Rita and him together was the unborn child in her womb.

Yet David still felt guilty, and he couldn't understand why. Did he really lose his mind after suffering Rita's abuse for such a long period of time?

"Why are you standing outside? It is cold," he said. David was expecting Rita to ask him about Nora, but to his surprise, it was nothing like that.

"I want to eat some shrimp dumplings from Zhou restaurant," Rita demanded, as per usual.

David thought that Rita hadn't overheard his conversation with Nora. He was relieved by the fact that he didn't need to explain himself to her. "Get inside, you shouldn't be out here," he said.

David carefully brought Rita to the ward. She watched him as he placed the table on the bed and poured out the hot porridge he had brought for her. His face looked gentle and serene, as the steam started to belch from the porridge.

"You are too weak to eat foods like shrimp dumplings. For now just have some porridge, when you recover, you can eat anything you like," said David in a firm tone. It seemed like he had a heart of stone, and no one could change his mind.

This time, Rita did not show any signs of resistance, as she obediently ate her porridge.

David found Rita's obedient attitude quite refreshing. He gazed at her, finding it hard to leave her as he didn't want Rita to stay there alone in the ward...

But, what about Nora? Nora rarely visited Z Country. She wasn't familiar with the place at all. If she were to come across bad men, who would protect her?

Finally he spoke out, what he was struggling to say for so long,"Rita, stay in the hospital and don't roam around. I have something important to tend to, so I will be gone for a while."

David understood the importance of keeping Rita in a good mood. It seemed Rita had no idea of what was going on, so there was no need to tell her the truth. Besides, she had never been fond of Nora before.
