Chapter 969 She Woke Up (1/2)

Ring, ring, ring!

The hurried ringing of the telephone interrupted the conversation between the two men. Darren signaled to Agni and then answered the phone. ”President, Miss He has woken up, but she is crying and screaming again. Now she has gone on a hunger strike. What do you...?”

Darren's eyes darkened as he interrupted in a low and anxious voice that he was not even aware of, ”Wait, I'll come back right away.”

Rita was not eating or drinking anything as she was on a hunger strike. Darren could not just ignore her because she was pregnant with David's baby.

After hanging up the phone, Darren left in a hurry, leaving Agni alone in the office.

Agni was suspicious and followed Darren, but Darren got rid of him halfway down the hall.

In a private villa, Rita leaned against the corner of the wall, gently touching her tummy with both hands. Her lean body appeared even thinner in the over-sized pajamas she was wearing.

Her face was expressionless and her eyes were empty, while her long black hair blocked her pale cheeks from sight. At the moment, she looked like a very sick person who had lived in a hospital for a long time already.

The curtain obscured the bright morning sunshine. If it weren't for the dim light, Darren would hardly have seen her in the room.

”President, Miss He seems to be depressed. She has been shutting herself in the room ever since she woke up. She has not seen the light. Although she is crying, she just repeats the names of several people. The nutritional meals delivered by the doctor are either knocked over by her or left there untouched.”

The medical staff were concerned and truthfully conveyed Rita's situation to Darren.

”Um,”

Darren responded and raised his hand, signaling the medical staff to leave. In three seconds, only he and Rita remained in the room. It was silent, as if they could hear each other's breathing and hearts beating.
