Prev Chapter Next Chapter

“Liam…”

Rita wanted to stop him. But Liam stuck his tongue into her mouth when she spoke.

She pushed him away but then he held her into his arms again.

Their lips locked together.

He kissed her more fiercely this time.

Rita went blank for a second.

Dumbfounded, she gazed at him. What he had said in his deep voice kept playing in her mind.

“Don’t fall in love with other.”

She felt like his words had torn down all of her walls. Then her heart did a flip and thumped wildly.

She might doubt him in the past. But now she sensed that he was serious.

Then she was unnerved by his feelings.

She could not accept that.

She tried to dodge in anxiety, but there was nowhere to hide from him.

In order to stop him, Rita bit his bottom lip.

Liam seemed to feel the pain and then stopped himself.

Rita pushed him away at once and reminded him, “Liam, we’ve got divorced.”

“Rita…”

“It’s over.”

Liam still wanted to say something, but Rita interrupted him.

She managed to put it plainly if she hadn’t expressed herself clearly so that he still had some

misunderstanding.

She wanted a clean break.

But she did not expect that he would turn silent.

The sound of glass falling down to the floor came from the trash can. Rita was jolted. Then she looked

at the phone and found her cell phone was still on the line.

Oliver must have heard that.

She picked up her phone and wanted to hung up it. But her heart jolted when she saw it was “Jim” on

the screen. Then she turned as white as a sheet.

Why was it Jim’s calling?

Did they accidentally dial his number when they grabbed the phone?

But…

Jim coughed suddenly in the phone. And then the sound of Mrs. Davis’s footsteps came through the

phone, “Jim, why are you suddenly coughing blood?”

“Jim!” Rita was stunned and she gripped her phone tightly.

Hearing Rita’s voice, Liam was also jolted. Then he stared at her.

“Both of you, come home, now. I’ve got something to ask you.” After he said this, he hung up the phone

and began to cough violently.

He felt like his lung had been squeezed by someone every time he coughed. And it hurt so bad that he

developed a headache.

“Old Mr. Wilson, we should go to the hospital.” Seeing that he was feeling not well, Mrs. Davis suggest

him worriedly.

But Jim waved his hand and then leaned on the couch weakly, “I’ll wait for them to come.”

“But…”

“Put it back to Rita’s room.” Jim gave Mrs. Davis the divorce agreement of Rita and Liam and reminded

her, “Don’t tell them I have found the agreement when they’re home.”

“I know.”

“OK. You may go now.”

Jim waved his hand and then closed his eyes with mixed feelings.

In the meantime, Rita got anxious when Jim hung up the phone.

She lifted her eyes and glanced at Liam. Although they did not speak, they went downstairs together

quickly.

“Rita, come on. I’ve made the white fungus soup with lotus seed. Come and have some.”

“Mom, we have some pressing business to attend to.” Rita spoke to Zoe and pointed at the room

upstairs, smiling, “Please help us to tell Amelia that later.”

“OK, Rita, Is there something wrong?” Zoe was unnerved when she saw Rita and Liam were strained.

“There’s something need to deal with immediately in the company.” Rita was to explain, but Liam held

her in his arm and spoke at first.

Hearing that, Zoe breathed a sigh of relief secretly, “Well, OK. You may go then.”

She tried to avoid any physical contact with Liam. But she had to admit that her mom would believe

Liam’s word.

Now that Jim had known that there was something wrong between her and Liam, she could not let the

Brown family also worry about that.

Then Liam took her in his arms and got on the car.

And he let go of her when the car door was closed.

“Go home, now.”

“Yes, Mr. Wilson.”

The driver felt unnerved by his deep voice and drove to the villa of the Wilson family as soon as

possible.

Rita and Liam were silent inside the car, which made the atmosphere intense and depressing.

It took thirty minutes from her home to Liam’s home. She had never thought their homes were far from

each other, but now she felt that.

Why hadn’t they arrived yet?

Being nervous, she grabbed her hand more tightly.

“Jim will be fine.” Liam glanced at her hands and said unhurriedly.

Rita went blank for a second and then her eyes brimmed with tears.

Although she was unrelated to Jim by blood, she still regarded him as her family.

Jim had cared about her so much. If he really fell ill because of her…

She would never forgive herself.

“Lee, drive faster please.” Rita raised her eyes and asked the driver to drive faster. She failed to hold

back her tears. Then tears welled up in her eyes.

Liam wiped her tears gently, “Jim does not want to see you cry.” So did him.

Then Rita held back her teas again.

Maybe it was because she had cried or because Liam was here, she was not that nervous. Then she

started to calm down and thought about how to explain to Jim.

She came up with countless excuses, but she still did not made up her mind.

Then she decided to play it by ear. The most important thing to do was to calm Jim down and to avoid

aggravating the situation.

They got off the car and came to the living room quickly.

“You’re home now.” Jim spoke to them weakly when Rita came in.

Rita lifted her eyes and looked at the old man in the couch. But she was shocked when she saw Jim’s

face turned grey.

“Jim.” She took steps toward him and spoke to the servants worriedly, “Get ready, we need to go to the

hospital.”

“No need.” Jim grabbed Rita’s hand and stared at her red eyes, asking tenderly, “Rita, what’s wrong

with you and Liam?”

Being asked by Jim, Rita bit her lip and did not know how to reply.

How did she explain to Jim?

He was so weak now. If she was honest with him, would he still be fine after this blow?

But if she still lied to him, how did she explain?

“Jim, we…”

“Shut up!” Liam was to explain, but Jim flicked a cold glare at him.

Although old, Jim was still forbidding.

But he soon started to cough violently again because of anger, with his face twisting. Nevertheless, he

still held Rita’s hand tightly, “I want Rita to explain.”

Rita’s lips compressed into a thin line.
