Chapter 929 A Vain Disguise (2/2)
Rita didn't want to just give in to that woman. She got furious at David for making such a ridiculous request without feeling any guilt. At this thought, tears rolled down from Rita's eyes.
”Rita, I need you to know that everything I do is for you and Dylan. I will always be the man who protects you. You can trust me! I promise that I will never betray you. What I am doing now is for the good of our children, for you, and for myself. You will come to understand this in the future!” David explained softly.
Judging by the look in Rita's eyes, he could tell that she felt wronged by him. David felt helplessly heartbroken at the sight of her tears. He couldn't help reaching out his hands to wipe the tears from her face,
on.
After the nurse informed Nora about the examination, Nora touched her swollen belly with the hint of a smirk on her face. She thought to herself that David would have to appear on Monday and she would then have her golden opportunity to meet David.
Waiting patiently outside the examination room, David supported Rita with his hands and took care of her. One could easily notice her swollen belly even though she was in a slightly baggy hospital gown.
At the sight of this scene, Nora stood still in the corner and tears swirled in her eyes. The closeness and intimacy between David and Rita drove Nora mad with jealousy.
At the same time, two hospital guards went over to Nora as they talked to each other. ”I heard that the monitoring equipment broke down. The monitoring system will not restart until this afternoon. What a bad news!”
Nora wiped her tears quickly and focused on their conservation with a twinkle in her eyes. She told herself that God was always at her side and that now, He had created another opportunity for her just when she was at the point of disappointment.
A few minutes later, David received an urgent call and had to leave Rita alone. He explained to Rita and then rushed out of the hospital quickly, leaving Rita outside the examination room alone.
Nora hid at the corner and waited until the time was right. She adjusted her emotions and pretended to walk toward the examination room with a painful look as if something was wrong with her.
Rita was surprised to see Nora here. She looked at Nora coldly and asked, ”Nora? What a coincidence! Lately, I keep seeing you everywhere as if you're my shadow. Have you been following me?”
”I didn't know you were also here. I... I am here for the prenatal examination. You... You are thinking too much. There is nothing between David and me. Please don't be so suspicious.” Nora pretended to be wronged.
She bit her lips and forced herself to squeeze out a few tears. Her facade made the other pregnant women around them believe that she was the weak one and that Rita was the one being rude to her. Suddenly, Nora bent over and put her hands over her belly painfully.
”Enough, Nora. You are a great actor! I almost believed you! I was stupid before and I am still stupid for always believing you so easily! But I won't fall for your tricks anymore!” Rita murmured, smiling bitterly.
”There's no one here besides the two of us, so stop pretending, okay?”
