Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 94

Scarlett's POV:

Rita was not welcome, so it was a big shock when she came in Charles's ward. The instant she saw Charles lying on the bed, she ran to him and cried out, "Charles, what happened to you? Does it hurt?"

I rolled my eyes and complained in my heart, 'Of course, it hurt. Why don't you get yourself into an accident and see for yourself?' But I must admit, Rita's acting was getting better. I would have been convinced by her performance if I did not know her better.

"Oh my God! I can't believe it! I wish I were the one who got into the car accident instead." Tears streamed down Rita's face as she spoke.

However, Charles seemed rather annoyed. He moved his hand away in disgust and said exasperatedly, "Rita, you're so noisy. You're giving a headache."

Rita was taken aback by what he had said. She opened her mouth to speak, but words stuck in her throat.

I did not want to stay here anymore because of her. With that, I turned around to leave. But before I walked out of the door, I turned to Charles and reminded him, "Don't forget what I've asked you to do."

I marched out of the room as soon as I said those words when, all of sudden, Rita stopped me.

"Scarlett, aren't you gonna say hello to me?"

She had always been arrogant to me. Like a rooster, she had endless energy and an unceasing fighting spirit. She would devote a significant amount of time just competing for men's attention. How pathetic.

With a deadpan expression, I turned around and greeted her, "Good afternoon, Miss Lively. It's nice to see you."

I was like a robot. Not a hint of expression could be seen on my face. Without waiting for Rita's response, I closed the door behind me. I was worried she would make trouble again, and I would not have the patience to stand her.

Meanwhile, Richard, Rita's bodyguard, was smoking outside the door. He nodded at me when he saw me. He seemed to be troubled about something. He was bearded, and his hair was unkempt. Not only that, but he was also wearing a wrinkled suit. He looked as though he did not care about anything anymore.

Why did Richard seem troubled by girls? I was perplexed.

"Miss Riley, let me walk you out," Richard offered.

As I was in a bad mood, I nodded and accepted his offer.

Before we entered the elevator, Richard threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and turned to look at me. "Miss Riley, can I ask why you didn't stay with Mr. Moore?"

The way he asked me was somehow clever. I could not figure out if he was on Rita's side or if he really wanted me to stay with Charles.

Instead of answering his question, I looked at him in the eye and asked, "Richard, are you in love with Rita?"

Richard was taken aback by my question. But judging from his reaction, I could say that I was right.

I did not ask any more questions. Fortunately, the doors of the elevator opened. I stepped in and pressed the button to go down.

I could not stop thinking about what Charles had told me—Rita's child was not his. I used to think that nobody would dare to touch Rita. But as Charles had said, why could she not be the one who had taken the initiative to seduce others?

Besides, if she did not give Richard hope in the first place, how would he fall in love with her? There must be something that I had not known yet. I had a vague feeling that this matter was beyond my comprehension. No matter how hard I thought about it, I could not figure out the answer.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the entrance of the hospital. While I was in deep thought, Christine's voice rang in my ears, bringing me back to my senses. I looked around and saw Alice not far away, holding Christine's hand.

"Scarlett, what are you thinking about? We called you several times, but you didn't seem to hear us." Christine cupped her face and pretended to be sad.

I hurried forward and took the food box from Alice's hand. "Sorry, I didn't see you there. I was just thinking about work." "You don't have to apologize. Your grandma was just kidding. It seems that you have something on your mind. Penny for your thoughts? We're here for you, you know?" Alice smoothed my hair with a smile.
