Liam came back to the hospital after he dealt with Charlotte.
Several steps later, a sudden dizziness overpowered him. Beginning to overbalance, he felt himself teeter.
“Feel dizzy again?” Jacob caught him with worry, “Liam, you should see a doctor, then I’ll feel more reassured.”
“I’m fine. I just need to get some sleep. I’ll have a rest when I come to the hospital room.”
Liam hadn’t fallen asleep for thirty-six hours since he heard Rita had an accident.
Moreover, he also came to search and rescue Rita in the mountain, so the strain was beginning to tell on him.
Jacob frowned, “Well, let me help you go upstairs.”
“I can go by myself.” Liam tapped the boy, “It’s been a heavy day. Go home and get some rest.”
“But…”
“Go home!”
Jacob still wanted to say something, but Liam interrupted him with a commanding tone.
Although Jacob still worried about Liam, he just said, “Liam, have a rest right after you go to the room.”
“Okay.”
Smiling, Liam saw Jacob left the hospital and then came to Rita.
When he came in, Rita was chatting with someone by video. Liam could not hear what they were talking, but she kept laughing.
Liam hadn’t seen her being so happy for a long time, so he did not want to interrupt. Then he sat beside her quietly.
“Rita, how’s it going with cold-blooded Mr. Wilson?” Lillian did not know Liam was here, so she asked Rita curiously, “He still cannot get Joey out of his mind?”
Cold-blooded man…
“What? He really cannot forget about Joey? What a dumbass.” Lillian thought she was right because Rita did not deny. Then she could not resist complaining for Rita.
But Rita was in a sweat.
She flicked a glance at the man sitting in front of her covertly, and then signaled Lillian to stop.
But Lillian did not understand what she was doing, “Rita, what’s wrong? You’ve got a stroke?”
“No…”
“Then why are your eyes and lips twitching?”
Rita was speechless.
“She’s tired.” Suddenly, Lillian heard a deep and mesmerizing voice of a man.
Although she hadn’t seen Liam for years, she could still recognize the voice belonged to Liam, the man which Rita was crazy about.
When did he come? Did he hear what she had said?
Lillian was so unnerved that she could not hold her cell phone steady. Then her phone hit the floor with a smash.
But she did not feel pity for her phone now. She was biting her fingernails with embarrassment.
It turned out Rita had been reminding her to stop gossiping just now. But she was too stupid to know that Liam was right at the other end of the phone and she was speaking ill of him.
It was really awkward.
“Lillian, that’s it. We can have another call when we have the time.” To make Lillian less embarrassed, Rita spoke in time.
After she hung up the phone, Rita glanced at the man distantly, “Jim has come home?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay.” Rita replied and then played on the phone, ignoring Liam.
He had seen through her when she was playing possum just now, so she did not want to do it again.
Maybe she should continue to treat him with difference.
Then he would give up after he realized her determination.
She was staring at her screen when she felt someone approached.
She turned around and saw Liam was lying down on her bed.
