The door of the emergency room was opened slowly, and a doctor walked out.
Liam came to him quickly, “How’s she going?
“Her wound is so severe with lots of gores. But don’t be too nervous. I treat her with ice and after she
wakes up, she can lie on the bed for rests with treatments.
The doctor’s explanation calmed him who was stern and serious.
He looked at the girl’s pale face on the bed, frowning with a broken heart, “So she fainted suddenly
because of the injury in her waist?”
Did the silly girl struggle since she was in the Country M?
“Partly.”
The doctor’s answer made him confused, “Are there other reasons?”
“The result of the nuclear magnetic resonance shows that her injury of the muscle and the soft tissue
was caused by the second attack after she was wounded.”
The second attack?
Liam silently recalled the scene that Rita hit against the bed after being pushed by Rose.
And at the next moment, he narrowed his eyes nearly to a line, with deep resentment.
The temperature of the corridor was obviously lower at once and there was even frost frozen on the
ground.
Following him for so many years, meanwhile, Jacob felt his rage.
He took a secret glance of him, and was shocked by his facial expression. He was unconsciously
standing still.
What the hell? Who annoyed my brother again?
His face was so horrible that he looked like the demon from the hell, in want of blood.
No matter who irritated him, he knew that he had better be silent.
‘He can’t see me. He can’t see me. He can’t see me.’
Jacob was praying quietly and suddenly, Liam looked at him, “Jacob.”
“!” Jacob seemed to be attacked by the lightening and remained at the same place.
After a few seconds, Jacob picked up his bravery and walked to him, “Liam, what…what’s wrong?”
Although he kept smiling, he was reluctant actually, saying to himself that he didn’t annoy Liam and
hoping that he would not be punished by him.
“I want you to help me …” Liam leaned towards him slightly and whispered to him.
“Ok, I get it. I will do it right now.”
Jacob nodded and walked to the door.
“Rita, Rita!” A soft voice sounded beside her ears and Rita was called back to herself.
She opened her eyes to see beautiful eyes.
“Rita!” The doctor wearing the white suit was smiling charmingly at her, “What happened to you?”
Looking at the doctor who seemed to be familiar with her, Rita was confused.
Did they know each other before?
She stared at him who was just showing his eyes, recalling the men she met before.
“Do you forget me?” Michael Burke took off the mask to show his face, “I am Michael.”
The man in front of her was smiling and looking at her. She was stupefied at first and then she was
surprised, “Michael? Are you Lillian Burke’s brother?”
“Yes.”
“I remember that your family moved to the C City. Why do you appear here? How’s Lillian?”
Looking at her best friend’s brother, she was so excited that she wanted to sit up.
But when she moved, her waist took away all of her power, aching severely and she had to lie back to
the bed.
And this scene happened to be witnessed by Liam who came from the outside. He then directly walked
past Michael to help her, “You are not allowed to move. Lie back.”
Rita chose to ignore his kindness and even his existence.
She turned back to smile at Michael, asking him vigorously, “Michael, how’s she? Is she in this city as
well? Could you give me her phone number?”
Being asked by the girl so many questions, Michael stopped looking at Liam’s worried face and turned
to her.
He hid his feelings and answered all the questions, “She’s well. She’s not here. I will write down the
phone number to you.”
“Ok, thanks.” Regaining the phone number, Rita could not help smiling.
Lillian was her best friend and they had known each other since her childhood.
Since the main property of their family was in the C City, the Burke family, including Lillian, moved from
the F City to live in the C City a few years ago. Rita began to have fewer and fewer connections with
Lillian.
Besides, Rita lost her phone before and she never remembered any phone number so she hadn’t
communicated with Lillian since then.
Therefore, she was very pleased to regain Lillian’s phone number.
But her pleasure made her fail to notice the secret battle between the two men in the room who were
scanning each other with different thoughts.
After looking at Liam for a few seconds, Michael looked away and began to talk with Rita. After handing
her the ointment, he left.
Liam stopped looking at the doctor sharply, and pretended to ask the girl smiling brightly with the phone
casually, “Are you familiar with each other?
“Not quite. We met a few times when I went to the Burke villa.” Rita answered honestly since she didn’t
understand the connotation.
Liam nodded with a handsome smile as if his mood became good like the cloud in the sky dispersed.
He sat at the bed and bent down to take off her clothes.
Feeling her waist cold, Rita was stupefied and turned back, “What are you doing?”
“Apply the ointment for you.”
“It’s ok. I can do it by myself.” Rita took the ointment from the man instantly and pointed to the door,
“You leave room, please.”
“Just go.” Seeing he didn’t move, Rita urged him again.
But the man still ignored her request and took the ointment back by force. He ordered, “Lie back.”
“No!” She bit her lips, “My mother can do it for me.”
“But she is taking care of you father.”
“Then I can ask a nurse.”
“They are all busy.” He took out some ointment and warmed it in the palm. Then he took off the clothes
of her back again.
She still refused, “Liam, we have divorced.”
But he seemed to hear nothing she said and put away her hand determinedly. Rita insisted, “I am a girl
and you are a man. I don’t want you to touch me.”
“Liam.” His warm hand was on her blue back where the agony appeared. Her refusal was stopped and
changed into bitter cries.
“Be gentle.” Rita complained.
Looking at her back of gores, he was heartbroken and tried to be gentler as he could.
This scene was spotted by Michael through the door, who was repeating the statement in the mind that
Rita divorced with Liam.
Divorced! She was divorced!
Michael smiled brightly at the girl on the bed.
