"What happened?"Rita suddenly raised her head, clutched the screen of her mobile phone, and asked but the end of the mobile phone fell silent.One second.Two seconds... Three seconds!There was dead silence, yet it was like a sharp claw that strangled Rita's heart, a faint uneasiness suddenly surged up.Her anxious voice couldn't help but increased,"Jacob, what happened to the Brown family?!"Met with the girl's questioning, Jacob still did not respond. Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words and handed it to the man in the seat first, and let Liam call the shots. Liam lowered his eye and saw the statement,'Amelia and Noah are dying from the car accident, and the Brown family are internally fighting for shares., his eyes squinted.Rita's anxiety became heavier when she saw the sudden change in the man's expression and nervously asked, "Liam, answer me. What's wrong with the Brown family?"The girl's shout came through, and Liam's eyes fell on the screen again.He paused
In a hotel of the Country M, "I am so sorry Miss.I am afraid that you cannot board a plane." The hotel staff declined her request politely and pointed to the heavy snow outside, "All the cars here cannot go out during the blizzard."Rita lived in a famous holiday village which was built on the cliff.Although the only vehicle here was the local bus, many tourists came here to appreciate the beautiful scenes.When she got off the plane, she was arranged to live here by the commercial partners.The partners were to treat her well. They thought that they could show her around during the negotiation but unexpectedly, the snow was so heavy that it blocked the whole mountain. All the cars failed to get on the mountain and people here could not go out.Rita frowned at the sight of the endless white."Miss, I suggest that you should wait until the snow stopped and cars could run freely." The reminder from the staff sounded beside her ears again. She looked at the staff, "Could I leave this
Three hours later, in the Country M, walking on the thick snow, Liam searched carefully and slowly step by step."Liam, a guy from the hotel told me that they haven't found her." Jacob's voice sounded behind him, informing him of the latest news.Liam held the alpenstock more tightly.She was not found yet.The temperature on the mountain was already minus 15 degrees, which meant that a person must suffer from frostbite and may even die.And Rita's still there...Thinking of Rita's sufferings, Liam's face turned cold and stern. "Give me a tracker."Jacob took out and handed two of the trackers to him immediately.Liam asked Jacob to prepare some trackers before they climbed the mountain to cope with the blizzard and the possibility of getting lost in case of emergency so they could be rescued instantly by those who were staying at the foot of the mountain by the accurate location from the tracker if they were in danger.Liam put the tracker into the pocket and made his decision,"Now
The sound of their kiss and the warmth from the lips recalled her to herself completely. Looking at his face with the perfect outline, she was so astounded that she tried to push him away. But her hands were held firmly by Liam. She was unsatisfied and looked away, warning him out of anger, "Don't forget that you have promised not to touch me again." "Well, I remember." "So why do you still..." Kissed me? At a glance of the girl who was offended in his arms, he explained slowly and clearly, "It's I that always make the rules and other just need to obey them." "?" "And my standards when I make rules depend on my feelings and moods." He broke the promise and tried to persuade her by sophistry. Rita turned angrier immediately and looked away, ignoring him. When they were silent, her stiff hands were gently rubbed by the man. His warmth and care made her have mixed feelings. She was moved by his tenderness for a second but this kind of feeling had nothing to do with love.
"Dad, I am back." On the wheelchair, Rita looked at the hospital of the F City in front of her with tearful eyes. She tried her best to hold back the tears and was ready to enter the hospital by the wheelchair. At this moment, her phone in the pocket rang suddenly. It's her mother that called her. "Mom, wait for a minute." "Rita, Charlotte is forcing me to sign the document together with a lawyer. Hurry up, honey." Before she told her that she was already in the hospital, her mother interrupted and urged her. "Dear Mrs. Brown, who are you talking with? Give me the phone." "My phone. Give it back to me, Charlotte." Rita heard some noises of the scrambling and after the silence of two seconds, Ritas voice was sounded from the phone, "Wow, it turns out that you are talking with my sister, Rita." Rita frowned with disgust, "..." "Oh, Someone told me that there's a heavy snow blocking the mountains in the Country M. I am afraid that you cannot return. Charlotte pretended to
Liam put some ointment on Ritas wound. To avoid any contact with him, Rita closed her eyes and pretended having fell asleep. The room became silent. There was only the sound of Liam's peeling an apple. "Have an apple?" Rita heard his words but she didn't move at all. Liam seemed to realize she had fell asleep, so he didn't continue. Playing possum was really helpful, Rita thought. Liam might go way after he waited for a long time. Then she could breathe a sigh with relief. When she was sniggering covertly, someone got closer to her and puffed his breath on her cheeks, "Rita." Rita was jolted and opened her eyes at once. Then she met his deep eyes. She was so close to him that she even felt his temperature. Her eyes rounding, she wanted to push him away immediately. But her hands were pinned down on the bed by Liam, "Grandpa is outside." Liam stared at her and flicked a glance at the window meaningfully. Rita found Jim was standing outside watching them, then the anger
Liam came back to the hospital after he dealt with Charlotte. Several steps later, a sudden dizziness overpowered him. Beginning to overbalance, he felt himself teeter. "Feel dizzy again?" Jacob caught him with worry, "Liam, you should see a doctor, then I'll feel more reassured." "I'm fine. I just need to get some sleep. I'll have a rest when I come to the hospital room." Liam hadn't fallen asleep for thirty-six hours since he heard Rita had an accident. Moreover, he also came to search and rescue Rita in the mountain, so the strain was beginning to tell on him. Jacob frowned, "Well, let me help you go upstairs." "I can go by myself." Liam tapped the boy, "It's been a heavy day. Go home and get some rest." "But..." "Go home!" Jacob still wanted to say something, but Liam interrupted him with a commanding tone. Although Jacob still worried about Liam, he just said, "Liam, have a rest right after you go to the room." "Okay." Smiling, Liam saw Jacob left the
"Mr. Wilson!" Rita was still feeling embarrassed when Mrs. Davis opened the door anxiously. Mrs. Davis was too anxious to find something went wrong between Rita and Liam. She said in a hoarse voice, "Jim is badly ill now." Rita and Liam were stunned. Then the atmosphere crackled with tension. Rita said with a heavy heart, "He looked well yesterday when he came to the hospital. Why would he fall ill suddenly?" "Jim kept coughing blood a week ago. But he didnt allow me to tell you. He worried about Rita, so he managed to come to visit Rita. But he collapsed after he came home. Now he can't even get up." Tear misted Rita's eyes when she heard Mrs. Davis explaining in a choked voice. She held back her tears and looked at the calendar next to her. Then she found it was September now. If she was right, in her previous life, it was in September that Jim... Suddenly, tears welled up in Rita's eyes. "Liam, take me to the wheelchair. I want to come home and see Jim right now." Lia
