My beloved wife novel Chapter 157

"What happened to me?" Rita felt a headache. She wanted to sit up, but she couldn't motion a little bit. There was only Magee who was beside her, and she vaguely remembered that she was beaten by several women, calling her names such as mistress, bitch! If it weren't for Magee, her clothes would have been taken off by those women. It was Magee who helped her out.

"You are fine. You just need a good rest."

Rita looked very haggard. She bit her thin lips and said softly, "Thank you, Magee."

Although there was a deep misunderstanding between her and him before, she still had to thank him this time no matter what reasons he was for.

Lowering his eyebrows, Magee pursed his thin lips slightly and sighed, "Riri, I apologize to you for what happened before. It's my fault. I wronged you. I could hold a press conference to apologize to you face to face."

This time, he had completely offended Nora. He couldn't hide what he had done before, and sooner or later he would be imprisoned. But he had to prove that Rita was innocent before the lawsuit, and let the whole world know the true face of Nora. He couldn't let her continue to hurt Rita and ruin her life.

"What happened? Tell me!" Rita frowned and looked at him.

She knew Magee was back to the same one who she had known for many years. She knew that he must have his own difficulties. He suddenly changed into a totally different person she didn't know.

"Riri, I have to apologize to you. When I was abroad, I made some mistakes, so I came back secretly. You know..." Lowering his head, Magee didn't dare to look into Rita's eyes. "That's why I don't dare to express my love to you. I can only watch you marry into the Leng family. I can't do anything about it. I know that if I were braver at that time, I would be frank with you. I have loved you for a long time, for so many years, but I don't have the courage. I have a lawsuit against me, and I can't drag you down."

Rita's eyes were full of astonishment. She stared at him, with a hint of pain in her eyes.

"Nora has something on you? Did she threaten you with that?" Rita guessed what happened next. There was no doubt that for the coercion and pressure from Nora Magee suddenly pointed out it was Rita who seduced him.

"Yes, it's a big case and it would not be suppressed without the power of the Su family. I'm sorry, Riri. If I'm not losing my head for the moment, I..."

"What on earth have you done?"

Rita wanted to know that the gentle and silent Magee would do things that were against reason and nature?

"Are you trapped by someone else? Don't you know that Nora has been keeping an eye on you for a long time?"

Magee shook his head and said, "It's none of her business. I committed the crime of raping abroad. The punishment for the crime of raping abroad is very severe. If it weren't for her, I would have been arrested abroad long ago."

"The crime of raping?" Rita felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She didn't seem to understand that Magee had ever committed the crime of rape. Who was raped? "You, you, you mean..."

She looked at Magee with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what he just said.

The crime of raping? Why did he do that? Magee had always been decent. Was he drunk or something? Or was he drugged by somebody else? Rita couldn't believe that Magee would do this. She stared at him and asked with a pale face, "What you did... Do you know the consequences when you did this? Were you crazy, Magee Jiang?"

Without saying anything, Magee smiled bitterly, "Riri, it's none of your business. I deserve it. Listen to me, you don't have to worry about me. Since I have told Nora everything, I will protect you. Riri, I will make it clear to everyone that you are not that kind of person at all!"

"Make it clear? How? Even if the incident last time was not true, how could you help me explain it this time? I finally betrayed Aaron."

Rita sighed and looked at the ceiling. She didn't know what to do now. She felt ache all over her body. What happened to her? Why was she so weak? She was beaten a few times but ended up like this.

Seeing her frown in pain, he sighed again, "Riri, do you know you have a miscarriage?"

"What? Miscarriage? Me?"

Rita didn't get it at the moment. She thought she was in a dream, and the word floated into her ears. Miscarriage, she was pregnant, and the baby was dead!

"Who is the father of my baby?" He couldn't help but ask.

She was pregnant and the baby was surely Aaron's. She only had sex with him. Even if Pitt really got her laid, it was only two days ago. It was impossible for her to be pregnant now.

Rita covered her belly and grabbed the sheet on the bed. "Am I really pregnant?"

"Yes, it's true. You have been pregnant for three months, but Riri, your baby hasn't been kept."

"Is it because of those women? Were their beating causing me miscarriage? Who sent them here? Was it Nora?" Rita was so angry that she sat up from the bed and pulled out the needle hole on the back of her hand. "Was it her? Did she kill my baby?"

"Riri, that baby... Was he really Aaron's?"

Why did Magee ask such a question? Rita was a little confused. If Aaron had known that she was pregnant, he would have come to her. But why didn't he come? Was there something wrong with the baby?

"Of course it's Aaron's. Is there anyone else?"

"But you haven't married him three months ago! The pregnant period was more than three months? How could the father be Aaron? Did you two know each other before?"
