The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Everyone thought that Jake would be angry with Rita. After all, this man usually took action at the slightest disagreement. However, everyone had waited for a long time without Jake taking any action. On the contrary, it seemed that his anger was slowly fading away and he became calm.

This was something that had never happened before. The servants couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him. Rita's eyes were also a little complicated.

"I've always wanted to know why you're so persistent just by relying on a name and a story."

This was Rita's doubt.

Jake slightly stopped and then said with a bitter smile, "If one always lives in the darkness, you don't know how important that sunlight is to that person."

Rita didn't know.

Although she had been unable to experience the happiness of childhood because of her health since she was a child, she was also spoiled by everyone in the Ye family. Naturally, she did not know what darkness was. Therefore, the way she looked at Jake was somewhat confusing, and she did not understand. However, her eyes were clean.

Jake didn't know why that person was so persistent with Rita. Now he finally did, but because he did, he became more and more tempted.

"How are you feeling today?"

Jake restrained his emotions and walked over.

Rita looked at him and said lightly, "Not bad."

She could stand up without a wheelchair, but her physical strength was still not enough.

She said not bad, but in fact, she was indeed good!

She had never felt her body so light in the past few years.

Seeing the satisfaction in Rita's eyes, Jake suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

"Your body has a very high tolerance for medicine and didn't reject much. If there is no accident, you should recover very well. You don't have to take any exclusionary medicine in the future too." Rita couldn't help but be stunned.

Didn't need to take any exclusionary medicine in the future?

Since her kidney transplant, although she was much better, she had to take medicine every day.

She had no choice. After all, this kidney was not hers. If she wanted the kidney to stay in her body safe and sound, she must take medicine.

She thought that she would be like this for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to take medicine anymore.

Looking at the astonishment in her eyes, Jake couldn't help but smile and said, "Now the kidney is connected to all the gene cells and bloodlines in your body, almost equivalent to your own kidney. As long as you pass the observation period of these days, generally speaking, you don't need to take medicine for the rest of your life."

"Thank you."

In this respect, she still had to thank him.

However, Jake did not say anything. He merely smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, why don't you have a meal with me?"

"Okay."

Rita did not refuse.

On the other hand, Jake was extremely flattered.

He hurriedly asked someone to prepare the food. He looked as happy as a child.

Rita didn't know this person at all, and she didn't even know the past Jake. Jake and she had some common topics in the past, but at this time, she felt completely strange. The scene of Jake becoming so happy just because of a small thing brought up the deepest memory in Rita's heart.

It was the same with the person in her memory. No matter how ordinary or how trivial things she did before, it was enough to make him happy for a long time.

What kind of living environment had created such a life forthem?

Rita was a little curious.

When Jake saw that the servants had laid out the dishes, he stepped forward and wanted to push Rita over. However, he was stopped by Rita.

She jumped out of the wheelchair and walked straight to the restaurant.

Compared with the wheelchair, she still liked the feeling of standing on the ground.

That was great!

Jake looked at her and couldn't help but smile. He then followed her silently.

The restaurant was very big, and only two of them were there.

Rita missed her younger brothers a little.

The Ye family's restaurant was also very large, but it was crowded. Every time they had dinner, it was very lively. Unlike there, it was big and empty here, which made her feel lonely. Yes, she was lonely!

It was the first time in her life that she had experienced loneliness!

It was a feeling as if there was no one familiar around you when you were in a busy city, and no familiar scenery too. Even the traffic was not enough to fill the loneliness in your heart. It was like floating duckweed, drifting along without roots.

Rita thought that she more or less understood why Jake was like this.

Seeing the thoughtful look in Rita's eyes, Jake paused for a moment and then said with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't you like this food?"

He remembered what Rita's favorite food was.

Rita shook her head.

"What right does a prisoner have to be picky about food?"

These words were a little harsh, and Jake's hands suddenly clenched tightly.

"You are not a prisoner!"

"So I can leave at will?"

"No!"

Jake seemed to be afraid that she would leave, so he hurriedly opened his mouth. However, when he finished speaking, he discovered the mockery and laughter in Rita's eyes.

He was a little annoyed.

"I'm not imprisoning you, but you just can't go out now!"

"Well, say whatever you want. I'm hungry."

Rita picked up her chopsticks and ate casually. She didn't feel any pressure at all. Any other woman would probably have cried bitterly now. However, Rita was always sober and calm. Even when at the moment she was almost going to die, Jake had never seen her panic-stricken face.

Was there no one in the world who could make her lose her cool?

It wasn't that Rita couldn't sense Jake's gaze, but she turned a blind eye to it.

For the past few years, she had been pursued by a lot of admirers. She was already used to this kind of gaze. However, she still felt a little unhappy seeing Jake like this.

"Put away your affection. As I said, you are not him, don't involve yourself in our story."

As soon as Rita finished speaking, she could feel that Jake's eyes became cold, but he was still trying his best to suppress them.

An ordinary woman would naturally know that the wisest thing to do at this time was to avoid talking about this matter. But was Rita an ordinary woman?

Obviously, she wasn't!

Rita knew that Jake was already angry, but she still smiled and said, "When will you take me to see him?"

Both of them knew who she was talking about.

Jake tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

"Even if you see him, you may not know him. Why do you have to see him again?"

"It's just my expectation. I want to meet him, the current him, and see the real Jake in my heart!"

Rita was very persistent.

Jake's expression did not look good.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed past. Jake's expression changed drastically. Rita immediately turned around. Just as she wanted to see who it was, Jake had already gotten up and chased after the person.

Rita's eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be Mylo?

Her heart suddenly tensed up!
