“Mr. Wilson!”
Rita was still feeling embarrassed when Mrs. Davis opened the door anxiously.
Mrs. Davis was too anxious to find something went wrong between Rita and Liam. She said in a hoarse
voice, “Jim is badly ill now.”
Rita and Liam were stunned. Then the atmosphere crackled with tension.
Rita said with a heavy heart, “He looked well yesterday when he came to the hospital. Why would he
fall ill suddenly?”
“Jim kept coughing blood a week ago. But he didn’t allow me to tell you. He worried about Rita, so he
managed to come to visit Rita. But he collapsed after he came home. Now he can’t even get up.”
Tear misted Rita’s eyes when she heard Mrs. Davis explaining in a choked voice.
She held back her tears and looked at the calendar next to her. Then she found it was September now.
If she was right, in her previous life, it was in September that Jim…
Suddenly, tears welled up in Rita’s eyes. “Liam, take me to the wheelchair. I want to come home and
see Jim right now.”
Liam kept silent.
“Liam?” After a while, Liam still did not reply, so Rita turned and looked at him.
Liam paused for a few seconds and then lifted his eyes, “You are injured. You can’t move around too
much.”
“It doesn’t matter, I…”
“If things are going badly, I will send someone to pick you up.” Liam interrupted her and then walked
out.
Staring at him, Rita was unnerved with her eyes filling with tears, “Liam, Liam!”
But he did not pause even though she shouted in a cracked voice.
She could do nothing but watch him closing the door. Rita was angered. She tried to struggle out of the
bed and catch him. But the pain locked her into immobility. Then she fell to the bed exhaustedly.
“You jerk! Liam, I want to see Jim! Jim…”
She shouted with anger at first. But then she began to sob.
Mrs. Davis had seen Rita getting along with Jim, so she knew why Rita was so sad.
Mrs. Davis tapped Rita on her trembling shoulders and tried to comfort her, “Rita, Jim will feel sadder if
he sees you crying like that. Liam will take you come home when you get better.”
Rita took a long time to calm herself down.
She could try to avoid some disasters because she was reborn and she knew what would happen. But
she could not prevent death.
Therefore, she also had to accept it if he died.
She glanced at the date on the calendar with mixed feelings.
She had expected to have a clean break with Liam, but now she hoped time could stop flashing.
Then Jim would not leave her, so she needed not to worry about getting into trouble. He would protect
her if she was bullied. Moreover, he cared about her so much.
Tears misted her eyes again, but she held back very soon.
She took the ointment and gave it to Mrs. Davis, “It’s time to put on the ointment. Help me, please. The
doctor says I should put it on the sore skin more often so as to reduce the swelling.” Then she could
get out of the bed and come to visit Jim.
Last time she was banished from Wilson’s house by Liam, so she did not see Jim for the last time
before he died.
This time, it must never happen again.
Liam hadn’t come to the hospital for two days, so Rita had to know about Jim’s situation by phone calls.
Liam called her as usual. She answered the phone immediately and asked, “How is Jim? Did he have
the lunch today?”
“Yeah, he did. He’s fine.”
Liam replied briefly. Then a smile hovered on Rita’s lips, “Well, that’s nice.”
“Rita.”
“What?”
“Mrs. Davis said you did not have your lunch.”
“I ordered the curry chicken and your favorite dish.” Rita frowned, “I’m not hungry.” Thinking of Jim, she
did not want to eat anything.
“But I’m hungry now.” Liam replied.
Rita was surprised. He would come to the hospital?
“The order should arrive now. “
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something when his sound came through the phone again.
In the meantime, the door was opened.
The order came here now?
She was vexed and then lifted her head, “Please help me throw away the trash outside… Why do you
come?”
Rita was shocked when she saw Oliver.
When she was dumbfounded, Oliver held her into his arms, “I miss you. That’s the reason.” He climbed
the wall and fled Roberts’s house to visit her after he heard she was injured.
Rita was stunned.
At the other end of the phone, Liam squinted his eyes with indifference.
Standing beside Liam, Jacob turned pale suddenly.
Why would Oliver come here? Jacob wondered.
And why would Liam say he missed Rita?
Jacob peeped at Liam who was standing with a scowl and then swallowed hard.
Gee, Liam must have been infuriated.
Every time when Liam and Rita had a fight, Liam would take it out on them.
‘Rita… No, my goddess, please do not annoy him again!’
‘Otherwise, Lee and I will be in the shit’
Jacob kept complaining in his mind. Then Rita’s voice came through the phone, “I’m sorry. I have
company. You may enjoy your lunch somewhere else.”
Rita hung up the hone before Liam said anything.
Jacob felt he was driven to despair. Then he rolled his eyes. He knew that silly woman would always do
something to annoy Liam.
And then Liam would vent his anger on them.
She was so mean!
Jacob hid his feelings and said in a trembling voice, “Liam, I’ll go to drag Oliver out, then you can give
him a clout.”
Liam stared at the screen, with coldness in his eyes.
At that moment, he felt he was to lose control, “Bring him to me.”
“Well, okay.”
Jacob did not propose intentionally, and he did not expect that Liam would agree with him. After all,
Liam was always a sensible man.
Jacob did not dare to delay, so he got off the car to go upstairs with other guys.
But Liam stopped them after a while, “Wait.”
Jacob was bewildered.
Liam took his phone and then dialed Oliver, “Leave the room in one minute.”
Standing on the balcony, Oliver frowned when he heard the commanding tone of Liam, “Who are you to
tell me what to do?”
“The Roberts family did not get the land. And I don’t mind to make you lose the project that you have
already won in the bidding.”
“You…”
Oliver grabbed his phone tightly, with another fist clenching.
