Sweet Divorce

20 minutes later.

Liam's right arm was obviously slightly numb because of Rita's pressing. He glanced at the sleeping woman beside him but still didn't move. He just let her kept leaning on him.

In the meanwhile, Rita's head was slipped from his shoulder. When he was about to hold up her head, Rita was awake. At the same time, Liam drew back his hand so that Rita didn't see it. "Have we arrived?"

Rita darted a glance at the man beside her and sat upright.

Liam looked forwards and gave an affirmative reply stonily.

"Did I fall asleep for a long time?" Rita was surprised by the time on the screen of her mobile phone.

It was almost three o'clock!

She must be asleep for a long time.

She asked in embarrassment, "Have we arrived long ago?"

"We got here just now."

"We just arrived?" She remembered that it was not too far from hotel to the hospital. It was very strange that it took them 20 minutes more than usual to get here this time. "Well, there's a traffic jam on the road."

Rita had no doubt about his explanation.

It wasn't until she got out of the car that Liam in the driver's seat moved his numb right arm.

For fear that she might find out, he just simply pinched his arm and got out of the car.

The moment the door opened, his face returned to the former indifferent look.

"Doctor, doctor, twenty more minutes! My friend is about to send me the money right away! " As soon as them came in the hospital, they heard Isabelle's hoarse voice begging.

"I'm sorry but I can't help you." The doctor slowly pushed her away and looked at the nurses, "There's a patient downstairs who has already checked in. He's coming up soon. Go and make the bed quickly."

And then the doctor left without hesitation.

Watching the nurses pushed her paralyzed mother out of the ward, Isabelle was anxious to tears. She madly called Charlotte again and again.

However, there was nobody answered the phone.

The last time she called her, Charlotte had shut down the phone.

Hearing the massage on the phone, Isabelle was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Looking at the mobile phone screen, Isabelle still took chances with her hand trembling slightly, thinking that it must be Charlotte's mobile phone had no power.

Charlotte won't brush her off, she believed.

Suddenly, she heard the footstep behind her.

She burst into tears with joy and turned around, "Charlotte, I knew you would come... Rita?"

To her dismay, she saw Rita and Liam coming and she couldn't help but knitted her brows.

Isabelle stared at the empty elevator behind them with her eyes full of disappointment.

"Don't be silly, Charlotte won't come." Seeing through Isabelle's mind, Rita directly tore her last hope.

Isabelle was about to walk away with her face looked clouded.

"You don't know about the plagiarism problem of Charlotte in the design competition, do you?" Hearing this, Isabelle stopped her steps.

She didn't know any of this, but this had nothing to do with her. So, she decided to ignore Rita.

"Because of her plagiarism, all her cards have been frozen. If you want to wait for her to rescue you, I'm afraid it's impossible." Seeing Isabelle being so stubborn, Rita added.

Now she stopped here still completely.

Even if she didn't look back, Rita could guess how she looked pale at the moment.

Rita knew, what she said worked.

Rita took out her mobile phone and quickly tapped on the screen. Then she showed what she found to Isabelle and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look at our school online community. There are some discussions about her these days."

Isabelle took the mobile phone out in doubt, and soon saw the posts about Charlotte.

Charlotte really plagiarized the work of others?

They really got her cards frozen?

Isabelle watched the screen. And her mind drifted to the morning when Charlotte suddenly said that she had used up her credit cards quota with a pale face.

And now Charlotte had shut down her phone which made Isabelle in panic.

"Now you can believe me, Miss Anderson?"

Rita looked at Isabelle who was trembling her hands severely. She took out a gold credit card from her pocket and said, "Miss Anderson, although Charlotte can't help you, I can help you pay the hospital bills." Rita put the card into her hand and said, "Go, pay the bills for your mother."

"I..." Isabelle looked down at the card in her hand. She was hesitating, but when she saw her mother who was driven to the corridor, she suddenly grasped the card firmly.

She looked around at Rita and asked, "You want me to tell the truth in that year?"

"It's all up to you. I won't force you to do it." Rita smiled sweetly, turned to the direction of the elevator and added, "You can use the money if you need, I won't refuse to pay the bills of your mother just because you don't tell the truth."

Isabelle was shocked by her trust.

Did she just leave?

Shouldn't she use her mother to coerce her into telling the truth?

Isabelle looked down at the card in her hand with her heart full of complex feelings and asked, "Are you not afraid that I can't give you the answer you want even if I use the money?"

"No." Rita stopped and smiled at her, "I believe you will give me what I want." She believed in confidence that she would find evidences sooner or later.

Her trust and her bright smile totally shocked Isabelle.

What a silly girl!

How could she be so stupid to trust a person who had framed her up?

Suddenly, Isabelle felt the card was so heavy that she couldn't almost hold it.

At this time, the nurse came out from the ward. When she saw Isabelle standing here, she said, "Miss Anderson, please take your mother and packed up your things to leave. If our director come and see such a mess at the door, he will scold us."

"Don't worry. I got the money. I'll pay the bills now." Isabelle turned to look at her paralyzed mother on the bed, and then quickly ran to the cashier.

When she passed by Rita, she stopped and said hoarsely, "Wait for me in the underground parking lot. After I pay the bills, I'll go find you."

"Okay." Rita was a little bit surprised but she replied quickly.

Watching Isabelle rushing to the cashier, Rita finally felt a little bit relieved.

She finally convinced Isabelle with tenacity!

She was getting close to the truth.

However, she did not leave as Isabelle said, but went to the front of her paralyzed mother to take care of her.

She didn't leave until Isabelle was back.

Looking at her limping figure, Isabelle was filled with guilt. How could she have been so cruel and helped the evil person frame such a kindhearted girl?

******

The first parking lot.

Rita was afraid that Isabelle couldn't find her so that she had been standing outside the car.

Because she had been standing for so long, the nerve of her left leg hurt like she was poked by a needle. When it hurt too much, she raised her hand to give the injury a fist to stop the pain. When she was about to do it again, her fist was grabbed by a big hand.

Then, she was held up by the man beside her.

"Since it hurts, just wait inside the car."

"But she may not find me." Rita struggled and refused to enter the car.

However, she was pushed into the car.

"If she had come sincerely, she would not have been unable to find you!" As soon as she wanted to get out of the car, she was pushed back by Liam.

Rita wanted to refute, but she closed her mouth.

He was right. If Isabelle really want to come, she would not be unable to find her.

She stopped her struggling and sat back to the seat.

However, after standing for such a long time, even if she sat down, her left leg still hurt badly. She raised her hand and patted her leg again and again.

The sound of the patting became louder and louder. Liam couldn't help but glanced at the position of her left leg that she was patting.

For that moment, he squinted his eyes, seeing the deep and thick scar on her left leg, and asked, "It must hurt badly at that time, right?"

His question surprised her.

Did it hurt at that time?

She couldn't remember whether it hurt at that time. She only knew that when the doctor checked her wound after the operation, she broke down and cried so loudly only by one touch. She just kept crying out loud like a child that day.

However, compared with the hurt, it was more unacceptable and heartbroken when she knew that this leg was broken by someone she knew so much before she died.

Think of these, Rita suddenly clenched her fists with her nails almost got into the skin.

"I was living hell. It's exactly what you want."

Liam frowned and asked, "Don't you think that it was me who did this to you on purpose, do you?"

"Mr. Wilson, don't take me by mistaken. I don't think it was you." Yes. She did!

In the previous life, she heard the truth from others that Mr. Wilson arranged the accident for her!

"Rita, there must be some misunderstanding in it!" Seeing she suddenly talked coldly, Liam was sure that she must misunderstood something. He explained immediately.

At that time, no matter how much he hated Rita, he didn't want to make her disabled at all.

Rita suddenly sneered.

"It doesn't matter for me whether I misunderstand anything or not." After all, she was totally heartbroken.

Liam knitted his brows so hard when he saw her expression like this.

He wondered what she had gone through, because the despair and sadness in her eyes made him feel so pitiful.

At this moment, the conversation between them was hard to be continued.

Rita looked outside of the window and didn't say anything.

Liam reached for a cigarette, lighted it up and started to smoke.

Soon enough, in the narrow space, the smoke made the air hard to smell.

In the haze, Liam glanced at Rita who was sitting on the other side of the car. His eyes fell on the distance between them, and he took another puff.

Rita started to cough because of the smoke and her tears came out of her eyes.

She tried to get out of the car, but the window in front of her opened before she opened the door.

It was opened by Liam for her.

She hesitated for a while, staring at the window. Finally, she got off the car.

At the same time, someone came forwards her from the elevator.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Brown."

Looking at Isabelle, Rita smiled politely and asked, "Has you gone through the hospital formalities of your mother?"

"Well, yes. And thank you." Isabelle looked at Rita with her eyes tearing. She took a deep breath and took out an USB drive from her pocket and handed it to Rita.

Rita took it confusedly. She asked, "What is this?"

"The answer you want."

Rita was stunned, looking at the USB drive in the hand with great excitement.

Finally, she was able to prove her innocence to him!
