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?"
