“What’s wrong with her?” Rita took a doctor by the arm and asked.
The doctor glanced at her and said very seriously, “The pregnant woman is hemorrhaging.”
Rita looked at the doctor with her mouth open. Was Lillian pregnant? That was why she met Lillian in the hospital? What happened to her? She was fine a few minutes ago.
“Hurry up. Her life is in danger.” Doctors’ voice reached Rita ears.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Rita hurried to follow.
By great effort, Lillian was brought back to life. She woke up a few hours later and saw Rita sitting by her bed. Lillian put her hand on her belly and asked, “How is my baby?”
Rita looked at her. There was sadness in her eyes.
“I lost my baby, right?” said Lillian, in a voice choked with tears.
“Don’t be sad. Fortunately, you’re OK. You will have the chance to be a mom again,” soothed Rita.
“No! I never will,” said Lillian sadly. “Why am I still alive? He should kill me together!”
Rita looked at her with surprise. “What do you mean, Lillian? Who did this to you?”
But Lillian turned and made no reply.
“Michael did it, right?” Rita asked warily.
Lillian still said nothing, but her eyes were moist again. Rita knew everything instantly. Her guess was correct.
Rita put a hand on Lillian’s shoulder and said, “You said you are fine. Why did you lie to me?”
Lillian looked at Rita for a moment and burst into tears. “Rita!” she cried.
“Tell me! What happened?” Rita asked, choking back her anger.
“Michael drugged me,” sobbed Lillian.
“How did you find it?” Rita asked, confused.
“I am here today for a checkup, but the doctor told me the fetus has dead. Then I called Michael. He admitted to kill our baby!” Lillian said and became quite sad.
She remembered Michael’s words very well. He said she did not deserve his baby.
At this thought, Lillian wept bitterly. She had cried for a long time, and then she fell asleep, but even in slumber, she still sobbed.
Looking at Lillian, Rita felt the anger mounting up within her. Lillian had done something wrong, but Michael had gone too far this time. She would have justice for Lillian.
Rita turned to Liam and said, “I’m leaving. I got some things to take care of.” Then she stormed out of the ward.
Liam was rather worried. He said a few words to Jacob and sprinted towards Rita.
Rita got in the car and took out a note, on which there was Michael’s address. Then she headed to the destination.
