A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 117

Jacob lowered his voice and asked," What's the matter?"

"Something happened to Rita. I'll go and have a look," replied Emily.

"Isn't David there? How can you help?"

"She's my best friend. I'll go to see her whether David is there or not!" Without a conscious thought, Emily got excited. Perhaps, it was because she cherished her friendship with Rita a lot more, after being betrayed by her ex-lover and friend.

"I'm not forbidding you to go there. Why are you speaking up to me!" Jacob flicked her forehead and added," I'll take you there."

Emily rubbed her aching forehead. Feeling embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue and said," I'm sorry, well, and... thank you..."

However, before Emily could finish, Jacob flicked her forehead again, and said," Silly girl."

...

Soon, Emily and Jacob arrived at the hospital where Rita was. When they got there, Rita was awake, and she was being taken out of the observation room.

"Rita, are you OK?" asked Emily, as she looked at Rita's pale face and could not help feeling distressed.

"Nothing serious." Rita replied, but her voice sounded feeble.

Emily felt more distressed. She asked worriedly," Where is David? Why isn't he here at this moment?"

"He was got caught up with something important," replied Rita.

"What could be more important than you?

!" Emily was furious at David's irresponsible behavior. How could he leave Rita in the hospital alone!

Rita closed her eyes slowly and said," It doesn't matter. I am just being optimistic. Maybe he's not here not because of work, but because he was in a car accident."

Emily," …"

Standing outside the ward, Jacob overheard their conversation. He immediately took out his phone and dialled David's number.

About half an hour later David showed up.

Rita was lying on the bed, resting her eyes with Emily sitting quietly next to her. David walked over carefully, to avoid disturbing the sleeping woman.

David didn't notice that he was getting calls from the hospital. Besides, he had his plate full with Nora, which took up most of his time and energy...

He didn't know what was happening until Jacob finally called him.

Even Jacob knew before he did... David was drowning in his own guilt. However, he left Nora and hurried to the hospital as soon as he found out.

Emily was the first to notice David's arrival as she looked at him angrily, and said," You..."

David immediately put his finger to the lips, and said," Hush..."

Emily's face turned red with anger, but before she could flare up, she was pulled out of the ward by Jacob.

When David tardily approached Rita, she slowly opened her eyes. He was slightly bemused at the trace of a cool smile on her face. "You're here." she said.

Taking into consideration the current state Rita was in, David decided not to talk about where he had been," How... are you feeling?" asked David.

"I'm still alive." replied Rita, with a hint of insouciance in her voice. Moments later, she continued," Well, the baby is also safe."

David felt disheartened. Then, he suddenly realized that Rita was no longer the person she used to be.

Rita did not love him, nor did she care about him anymore. Even giving birth to his child was a matter of formality to her...

Could she have changed so fast?
