Chapter 918 A Gambling (1/2)

”Nonsense!”

Rita snarled, her face soaked by the tears running down from her eyes as she pushed Ariel's hand away and rushed to Nora.

When David came back home, the first thing he saw was Rita acting like a lunatic, pushing everyone away and shaking Nora's lifeless body in a pool of blood.

”Rita!”

David dashed towards Rita and held her in his arms as he signaled Stuart with his eyes to take Nora away.

”Rita, it's okay. It's okay... I'm here now. I'm here with you...”

David spoke in a gentle manner, even though his whole body had gone stiff, as if all he cared about was Rita and not the woman lying unconscious in front of him.

”It is not what it looks like... It is not what it looks like...”

Rita sputtered incoherently, as if possessed by an evil spirit. The shock of what she was seeing was hard to bear and she was overwhelmed with grief at the sight of Nora's blood.

Ariel stood aside with a gloomy face as she believed that Rita was telling the truth because she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

It was true that Rita had seen the knife in Nora's hands, but it had been just a figment of her wild hallucination, which was proof that Darren's potion had started to take effect.

If this had continued, within the next few days, Rita would have had more hallucinations and she might have even hurt herself.

Feelings of guilt knocked the breath out of Ariel, as if her heart was being crushed by a large boulder.

”I am telling the truth! I saw the knife and Nora tried to stab me with it. Nora had this malicious smirk on her face and she threatened to kill me and my baby. So, I had to push her away... I was so afraid. You believe me, don't you, David?”
