In the evening.
After finishing his work, Liam did not return to Rita's room as usual.
He wanted to be alone so that he could figure out some things, so he chose to go back to his room.
However, when he lay down on the bed, he could not fall asleep no matter how he turned. As a result, he succeeded in ...
He succeeded in losing sleep.
He leaned against the bed and took a deep drag on his cigarette to relieve his frustration.
But this method was useless at all. He still couldn't fall asleep.
He had to admit that Rita, as a hypnagogue, was indeed not bad for him.
At this moment, Rita's delicate little face appeared in his mind again.
Rita?
He still thought of her.
Liam took another drag on his cigarette irritably, pulled out a photo frame from the drawer, and stared at the woman, who was gentle and beautiful, with a complicated look. Gradually he was lost in thought again.
This woman was none other than Joey.
Many people were curious about why he had such a deep and special preference for Joey. Maybe it was because of an accident many years ago.
Although Liam was in a coma during that period, he was still conscious.
Liam heard that the doctor had given up on him, but there was a woman telling him – she was waiting for him, and she would not give up. She lent her lucky pendant to him, and she believed that he would wake up again.
The next day, he really woke up. He touched the star-shaped pendant under the pillow and saw Joey.
Later, from the nurse's words, he was sure that the woman, who had taken care of him for two months, was Joey. So from that moment on, Liam swore in his heart that he would take good care of Joey for the rest of his life.
But ...
She was in a car accident later.
Thinking of this, Liam took a drag on the cigarette again, and his face darkened again ...
After that night, he became indifferent to Rita.
However, he went home on time every day.
As for Rita, she was focused on her study, so she naturally didn't notice this point.
On a morning, when Rita went downstairs, she saw Jacob.
She smiled politely. Then she sat down in her seat and lowered her head to have breakfast.
As soon as she sat down, the man opposite her had already stood up and left.
"Mrs. Wilson, I just heard from Mr. Wilson that he would go to F University." Seeing that Rita was still focused on eating, Mrs. Davis couldn't help reminding her.
"Oh" Rita replied with only one word and then continued to have breakfast in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Davis was stunned. She wondered if what she said was not obvious enough.
So, Mrs. Davis added, "Aren't you going to F University too? You two are on the same way, so why don't you and Mr. Wilson go there together?"
When the man heard this, he glanced at Rita.
However, Rita continued to eat breakfast calmly as if she didn't hear what Mrs. Davis said.
"Mrs. Wilson?"
It wasn't until Mrs. Davis called her again that Rita raised her head and said with a smile, "I still have some other things to do today, so we are not on the same way. I'll drive to school by myself later."
Not on the same way?
It was an excuse that she didn't want to go there with Liam!
Liam became gloomy and quickly walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Jacob hurried to follow Liam. He secretly glanced at Liam's gloomy face and sighed secretly.
'Ouch... god really wants me dead.'
'Liam probably have really fallen in love with this woman.'
