Chapter 167 You Have Changed


    Both women closed their mouths perfectly at the same time.


    The jealous nurse began to clean Emily''s wound with an antiseptic, dressing it in a rough manner. She


    hated being the one to care for Emily.


    Although the wound was small, Emily could not help but frown, noticing that she was being treated


    such rudely. However, she bore the pain in silence instead of calling her out. It was no use losing her


    temper over this little rat.


    "Have you actually ever had any training in nursing? You''re so unprofessional!" It was Jacob who


    couldn''t stand to watch. The nurse was shocked by the cold questioning voice of Jacob.


    To be put in her ce like that, she bit her lips and looked at Jacob, feeling aggrieved, as she


    said,"Sir… I…"


    Jacob raised an impatient eyebrow with a grim expression in his eyes. "Since you can''t do it well, get


    out!" he snapped.


    When the nurse heard Jacob''s unfriendly words, she immediately forgot the prejudices against Emily


    and started to exin,"I can…"


    "I said, get out of here!"


    The nurse froze up for a second, her face turning red. Then she ran out of the room sobbing, with eyes


    full of tears.


    Emily craned her neck to see the nurse''s receding figure, then nced at Jacob and said,"Look what


    you''ve done. you scared her and made her cry!"


    "It serves her right," said Jacob in a cold tone, his anger hadn''tpletely dissipated.


    "Well, you''ve driven the nurse away. Who''s going to deal with my wound now?" asked Emily raising


    one eyebrow at her boyfriend.


    "Well... me. I can do it for you." Jacob sat down beside Emily, set up the tray and gently cleaned


    Emily''s wound with a cotton ball soaked in disinfectant. Then he applied medicine on her wound.


    Jacob treated Emily with all tenderness. His movements were very light, and he looked as if he was


    doing the most important thing in the world.


    Emily''s eyes grew softer, resting her chin on her good hand, as she gazed at the man in front of her.


    Although it was winter, her heart was filled with warmth, as if she was bathing in the warm spring


    sunshine.


    ……


    On the other side of Jingshi City, David was seeing Nora off at the airport.


    Nora was crying in David''s arms. David quietly held her for a while, then slowly pushed her away.


    "Nora, you''ve missed your flight. Don''t miss it again." said David.


    Nora was supposed to take the previous flight back to M country, but before it was time to board the


    ne, she turned around and came back. This led to her missing the flight. David had to book the next


    flight for her.


    "David, I don''t want to go..." Nora''s eyes had be swollen from crying, just like a little rabbit, which


    made David feel sorry for her. She asked in a choked voice,"Does Rita dislike me? Because I bothered


    you?"


    ''The honest answer is, of course, yes.'' thought David, but he didn''t speak it out, afraid of hurting her


    feelings. He dared not let Nora and Rita be together in the same ce because Rita didn''t like Nora at


    all. If Nora stayed longer in Jingshi City, a fierce quarrel would inevitably break out between them.


    David sighed helplessly, but he had to say it. "Nora, I am sorry, but you have to go back to M country,"


    "David." Nora looked up at him. Sadness filled her voice. "You''ve changed. You weren''t like that


    before."


    David asked,"What kind of person was I before?"


    "You used to be very kind to me. You spoiled me; you made me happy; you gave me everything I


    wanted and you said that you liked me the most...." answered Nora without stopping.


    "As you said, that was before," David interrupted her, with a sternly cool and unmoved expression on


    his handsome face,"You''ve married my brother, so you shouldn''t be saying things like that anymore. I


    hope you can put our rtionship in the right ce, which is in the past. It is time to move on."


    Nora was surprised and said in an unwilling tone,"Is that how you really feel? I don''t believe it!"


    David controlled his emotions, trying to stay calm, and said with determination,"I will take you to the


    boarding gate. Don''t waste time anymore. There is still someone waiting for me at home."


    "You mean Rita? The maid will take care of her," Nora said with bitterness,"I''m leaving soon. Can''t you


    spend more time with me?"


    David didn''t say anything anymore. But Nora knew that it was a silent refusal.


    "I understand." Nora wiped her tears, showing a reluctant smile, as she asked,"You have fallen in love


    with her, haven''t you? Will you remarry her? This is myst question. Tell me and I''ll board the ne


    right away."


    David closed his eyes, thinking about her questions. After a while, he looked up and answered,"I have


    been considering it."


    David didn''t answered either of her questions, but he seemed to take the rtionship between Rita and


    him seriously. Nora clenched her fists with a heavy heart, trying hard to pretend not to care, and then


    she said,"Okay, I understand. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness."


    ''Even if David likes Rita, it doesn''t change anything. Rita must have lost her baby by now. Whoever


    takes something important from me will have to pay the price.''


    An evil thought glimmered in Nora''s eyes, but soon disappeared.


    Finally, Nora boarded the ne bound for M country. David felt relieved, seeing the ne take off. He


    then drove back to where Rita lived.


    Originally Rita lived in David''s vi, however, she and Nora hated each other and there was a lot of


    friction between them. Rita decided to give way and moved out to live alone.


    David had no way to get rid of the tension between the two, so for the time being, it was a good


    decision. What he did was to send a reliable maid to take care of her. Every day he went to see her, but


    today he didn''t see Rita because he had to see Nora off. At this point, there was no need to hurry.


    David couldn''t wait to see Rita, as if that was the only way to make him feel at ease. Perhaps taking


    care of Rita had be part of his life.


    While driving, David took out his mobile phone, only to find that his phone had been turned off. He


    quickly turned it on, surprised to see a lot of missed calls.


    However, none of them were from Rita.


    David could not help feeling a little disappointed. Was she not anxious that he hadn''te to see her


    yet? He threw his mobile phone sideways in sullen, resentful silence, then stepped on the elerator


    harder to speed up to Rita''s ce.

    David soon arrived at his destination. When he was walking toward the house where Rita lived, he


    wondered if it would make her happier knowing that Nora had gone. Thinking that she might not have


    been all too happy, having had to move out and live in this house, David decided to bring her back to


    his vi in due course.


    When David got to the door, he found that the door was half open and the lock was broken, as if


    someone kicked the door straight in.


    Something must have happened. David''s heart started beating faster. He rushed into the house, only to


    find a big pool of blood in the hall. He searched the house both inside and outside, but didn''t find Rita.


    He yelled in panic,"Rita, Rita!"


    It was the first time for David to feel so scared that he was ashen and trembling. He couldn''t help but


    think, ''What happened? Why is there a big pool of blood?'' So many questions filled his head. ''Where is


    Rita? What about the maid who is supposed to take care of her?''


    It took quite a while for David to calm down. He guessed that Rita could be in the hospital by now.


    David left the house in a hurry. He sat back in the driver''s seat, starting the car while calling the maid.


    "Hello, Haley. Where are you and Rita now? Why is nobody home?" he asked as soon as the phone


    was connected.


    There came Haley''s astonished voice at the other end of the line,"Mr. Xu, my son had a car ident


    today, so Rita gave me two days off. I''m not with her now..."


    David scolded her,"How can I not know of this? I told you that you must take good care of her at all


    times! You know that she is pregnant! How can she move around without your care?"


    David lost control of his anger. He hung up the phone without waiting for Haley''s reply.


    ''If Rita was alone at home, what happened to her? Where is she now?'' thought David with such


    anxiety.


    David dialed another number. As soon as the phone was connected, he ordered,"I think Rita is missing.


    Find out where she is now. Start with the hospital."


    The person whom David contacted on the phone was very efficient. He found some women with the


    same name as Rita in several hospitals, after crossing out the wrong women one by one, he got the


    exact whereabouts of Rita. By that time, it was already 9 p.m.


    It turned out that Rita had gone intobor. When David found out that Rita had given birth to a son for


    him, he was so excited that he rushed to the hospital without a stop. But as he arrived at the door of


    Rita''s ward, he froze, unable to take one step further. He had gotten somewhat timid and hesitant.


    David couldn''t help feeling excited at the sight of his woman and his son in the ward.
