In the hospital, Rita was lying on the bed. Nina and Frank rushed over and found her ward. Nina rushed inside and saw her best friend was lying on the bed motionlessly. Nina walked up to her and held her hand, "Riri, Riri, wake up."
When Rita heard someone call her, she looked back and saw it was Nina.
For some reason, she suddenly burst into tears and could no longer hold on her grievance. "Nina, you're here."
Rita's heart ached. She needed someone to rely on now.
Nina stepped forward and held her in her arms. "Riri, what happened? What happened between you and Mr. Aaron? I heard that you were pregnant, but you had a miscarriage. Was it really Mr. Aaron's baby?"
Even Nina asked the same question, let alone others. Biting her lips, Rita nodded and said, "Yes, the baby is his. I don't lie to anyone. I won't lie to you, Nina. This baby was Aaron's. Before marriage, I didn't have sex with anyone else. This baby was really his, but he doesn't believe me now."
It was the first time that Nina had seen Rita so helpless. She had always been strong and didn't like to cry easily. But after she married with Aaron, she had cried more than once. Did she really like Aaron so much?
Nina nodded firmly. "If you say it is true, I believe you. Riri, I have known you for so many years, and how could I not know your personality? You never lie to me and will not do it. This baby is absolutely Aaron's. But now the baby is gone. Don't be too sad. Take care of yourself first. Don't think about anything else. Let's talk about it later."
Afraid that she might take things too hard, Nina had to persuade her. "The baby is gone. You can't damage your health. Everything will be fine. Trust me."
Then she asked Frank to buy some food for Rita.
She looked at Rita and continued, "I've been to see Mr. Aaron. He's very angry. He can't even listen to Frank's suggestion. It seems that he only thinks that the baby is not his. I just heard from Frank that he has signed the divorce agreement. Riri, it seems that he is really going to divorce you."
Just like Rita's assumption, Aaron had misunderstood her. He thought that he was pregnant with someone else's baby. He thought that he was a woman of easy virtue.
Rita didn't know how to explain it, because she knew Aaron would not listen to her no matter how she explained it.
Rita smiled and said, "Never mind. Let it be! I don't mind his misunderstanding anymore."
"No, how can you hold this thoughts? You can't give up yourself. You have to prove your innocence. You can't let these rumors drown you. No, I have to tell Aaron the truth. I can't just watch him to divorce you. This baby was his. Why doesn't he believe it? Just because the pregnancy period was three months? What if the hospital made a mistake?"
