"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
Being threatened by Liam, Oliver squinted, with anger smoldering in his eyes. "Whatever." He would not give in anyway. He gave a short reply and then hung up his phone. "What's the matter?" Rita seemed to know something went wrong, so she asked him. Oliver hid his feelings. Then he turned and shrugged, "Nothing. It's an annoying salesperson." "Do you miss me, my sweetheart?" Oliver sat down on the bed and peeped at her shoulder. Then he got closer to Rita slowly, trying to lean against her. Rita dodged, and replied distantly, "No." "I'm so sad. I miss you every day." Complaining, Liam pouted and then pretended to be upset after she recoiled from his touch. "You miss me?" Rita took a look at him and said seriously, "You are trying to know more about Liam through me, right?" Looking at the girl, Oliver gave a wry smile. That was his intention in her mind? He admitted that he got close to her was to find out the weakness of Liam at first, but now he just wanted to see her.
Rita eventually made a concession and continued to have her meal because Liam insisted. She finished her lunch and then got out of the bed, "Let's go." "Wait." Liam stopped her again. Rita lifted her eyes impatiently, "What now?" He still had requests? Liam raised his hand and wiped her lips gently with a tissue. Then he stared at her face and gave a fond smile, "OK." "Thanks." Rita went blank for a while before he spoke in his mesmerizing voice. She stopped looking at him. Then she went past him quickly and left the room. When she walked out the door, her heart began to thump. She felt her heart melted when he wiped her lips. She would still be influenced by Liam no matter how hard she tried to move on. Maybe that was because she had been too obsessive with him in the past. But it could prove nothing else. That was it. Thinking of that, Rita no longer frowned. But she was still afraid that her mood would fluctuate because of Liam, so she sat next to the car door as
"Rita?" Grandpa Jim looked at the girl sitting beside hissickbedwith worriesfilled in his eyes. "Be careful! You waist has not recovered and you should stay on the bed." "But I miss you so much." She acted like a spoiled child, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You are a good girl." Grandpa Jim compromised with affection, but turning around, showed a stern face to Liam. "You should take a better care of her. If she didn't recover well and soon, you'll be punished with the family rules." Then Grandpa Jim turned to her and helped her stand up immediately, "The floor is so cold that you shouldn't sit there. Come and sit beside me." Feeling his overwhelming tenderness, Rita almost shed tears. Being alive again, Grandpa Jim still doted on her. "Rita?" Noticing she was in a trance, he called her name again. She recollected her thoughts instantly and sat beside him. On that day, they had a long conversation. Only when she was with him, Grandpa Jim burst into laughter instead of
With eyes fixed on Grandpa Jim who passed away so suddenly, Rita just went blank and felt heartbroken. Why?! She remembered that Grandpa Jim was gone at the end of this month in the last incarnation. Why did it happen earlier? She hadn't accompanied him for a long time. "Grandpa! Grandpa..." She was about to step forward but fell on the floor for she was in a disturbed state of mind. Michael was stunned and ready to help the weeping girl stand up. But at this moment, Liam acted before him more quickly, holding the girl in his arms. Looking at his beloved girl leaning on another man's shoulder, Michael tried his best to control and calm himself. What he could do was only to stand still, looking at her with love quietly. "Rita?" Holding her in arms, Liam asked worriedly. She stopped trembling, looking at the man's face above her head with tears, and said, "He left us." Now she had no one to support her. Now she could not do everything she wanted, because the one who alway
