Chapter 115 This Is A Dead End (2/2)
David took his eyes off the road to look at Rita, and found that her face had turned pale, as if the blood from her face had been drained. Frightened and confused, David asked,”What's wrong?”
”I'm feeling sick now…” Rita said in a weak tone.
”Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the nearest hospital right now...” soothed David. As his voice shook with fear, he continued,”Don't be nervous. I'm here.
ta to ask him about Nora, but to his surprise, it was nothing like that.
”I want to eat some shrimp dumplings from Zhou restaurant,” Rita demanded, as per usual.
David thought that Rita hadn't overheard his conversation with Nora. He was relieved by the fact that he didn't need to explain himself to her. ”Get inside, you shouldn't be out here,” he said.
David carefully brought Rita to the ward. She watched him as he placed the table on the bed and poured out the hot porridge he had brought for her. His face looked gentle and serene, as the steam started to belch from the porridge.
”You are too weak to eat foods like shrimp dumplings. For now just have some porridge, when you recover, you can eat anything you like,” said David in a firm tone. It seemed like he had a heart of stone, and no one could change his mind.
This time, Rita did not show any signs of resistance, as she obediently ate her porridge.
David found Rita's obedient attitude quite refreshing. He gazed at her, finding it hard to leave her as he didn't want Rita to stay there alone in the ward...
But, what about Nora? Nora rarely visited Z Country. She wasn't familiar with the place at all. If she were to come across bad men, who would protect her?
Finally he spoke out, what he was struggling to say for so long,”Rita, stay in the hospital and don't roam around. I have something important to tend to, so I will be gone for a while.”
David understood the importance of keeping Rita in a good mood. It seemed Rita had no idea of what was going on, so there was no need to tell her the truth. Besides, she had never been fond of Nora before.
