A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Rita didn't ask him what was the matter, instead she rudely said,"Get out."

Although David was angry at Rita's response, he bite down his anger willingly, without saying a word.

'Well then, I'll get out. As you wish.'

With that in mind, David walked out of the ward in haste. He quickly got to his car and drove off to where Nora was.

Before long, David arrived at his destination. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a slender figured woman, squatting under a sycamore tree all by herself. "Nora!" David called out to her.

Nora raised her head immediately upon hearing David's voice. Without wasting another second, she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms. "Oh, David!" she said.

Having been through a lot of trouble, Nora's tender body was shivering in David's arms. Every time David found her like this in the past, his heart would melt, as his desire to care for her and give her everything she wanted would become his utmost priority. This time, however, David did not have those feelings anymore. Something in his heart had changed. Perhaps there was another woman who was slowly starting to occupy his heart before he could realize.

Finding himself in doubt, David hesitated, as he thought about whether he should push her away or not. David, being the gentleman that he was, did not turn her down, instead, he said,"Let's get you out of here first."

Nora nodded, like an obedient child. She followed David and got on the car. With bloodshot red eyes from all the crying, her mascara was smeared all over her rosy cheeks.

David drove Nora straight to his house and set her up to stay there. After they got everything settled, David asked Nora,"What happened between you two?"

Nora faltered,"We had a big fight." However, she didn't follow that up with any explanation, as no matter how many times David asked her, she kept on weeping uncontrollably.

Every time David saw a girl crying, his heart would soften, let alone a girl he had been in love with in the past. He tried to comfort her,"Nora, don't cry..."

Bathed in his gentle voice, Nora's face grew more sad. She threw herself into his arms again, seeking comfort. "David..." she said.

David habitually patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her. But soon he remembered that it was an inappropriate thing to do because she was already married to someone else. So as to not be rude, he gently pushed her away and said,"Nora, you're married now. You should keep a certain distance from other men."

Yes, David liked Nora, but she was married to his second elder brother now. Nora was his sister-in-law.
