Chapter 881 One Trouble Follows Another (1/2)

Emily put the mysterious postcard back into the gift box and left it in her office. What had happened with Rita was so sudden that Emily soon forgot about this incident.

When Emily arrived at the hospital, Rita was resting on the bed and David was sitting beside her, peeling an apple for her.

Without a second thought, Emily hit David lightly. ”Is this how you look after my dear Rita? How come you didn't know about something so important until today?”

No sooner had Emily hung up the phone than Rita had fainted in her room. Luckily, the servant had found her and taken her to the hospital in time.

After an examination at the hospital, it turned out that Rita was pregnant.

David also blamed himself for not having been with Rita when she passed out. ”I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I'm a terrible husband and an awful father.”

”No, David, it's not your fault. But I want to drink some milk now. Would you go downstairs and buy some for me?” Rita quickly distracted him with an excuse.

”Okay.”

Handing the peeled apple to Rita, David stood up and left, leaving the two women to their discussions.

”Are you feeling better now, dearest Rita?” Sitting beside Rita, Emily placed the bouquet which she had bought in the vase on the bedside table.

”I'm fine. The doctor said that I fainted because I was too sad and worried, and I would feel better after getting some rest,” replied Rita.

Everything that had happened with Nora had made Rita suffer a lot. It wouldn't have been easy for the unborn baby to survive through all that mess, and yet, it had done so with a strong vitality.

Feeling her belly, Rita beamed with the glow of love and mercy that only a mother could possess.

”All right. But if anything happens to you, I'll make David regret what he has done.” Emily pouted discontentedly.
