Married to the President

Chapter 164: Suffered from depression…

"I'm glad you made it alive. Your life is more important to me than the baby. Everything is going to be

fine.." Julia said and became stuck.

He couldn't say anything further. They were not married and he doesn't want his family to know about

it, especially his elder brother.

But he never cared for her during the pregnancy. He never asked her if she visited the hospital or took

her there himself.

It appears he wasn't interested in the baby. But that is not the truth. He may not have been bothered

about her, but he was readily expecting the baby.

And when he went to crenate it, he discovered the baby would have been a girl. She definitely would

have been the little princess amidst two cousin brothers.

But everything was gone. He had lost her forever. It bothers him as well but what can he do or say? He ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

was an asshole.

When Rita heard Julia's words, It was like the fountain of her tears were let loose. She started sobbing

loudly and was sniffling. That is what he had always wanted. He detested her and now that they were

not expecting any baby, he would be happy inwardly.

Theresa came over quickly and asked that Julia step aside.

His words rather than console her aggravated her pains. Her sobbing was that of pain and not of

disappointment that she couldn't make Julia a father.

She felt pain. Julia stepped aside. He knew she would react negatively. That's why he didn't want to get

close to her until his mother had asked him to.

Junxie Li squinted. Julia had probably not been treating Rita well. He knew his brother was

promiscuous and he thought getting married would reduce his graving for women.

But that idea didn't work. He still does it without the slightest consciousness that he was married. He

didn't know when Julia became this corrupt.

They grew up together. They were not allowed to mix with other children. Their upbringing was different

and they rarely get to see their parents, especially their mother.

But he later left Julia when he went to study in America. That was when they got separated for years.

But they were never separated in soul.

Often They would send mails, chat on their blog or have video calls. Was it when he went to study that

he became addicted to having women?

He was lost. Everyone in the family knows that he is a casanova. What happened? Where did he get

his character from?

Monica was sobbing and Alfred tried calming his mother down. His sister had lost her pregnancy and it

made him unhappy as much as it made his mother unhappy.

" I will take you to the hospital," Alfred said, pulling his mother closer to console her. She is

heartbroken. Her expected grandchild was gone.

Monica stood up and said Alfred should take her to see her daughter. She must be grieving already

and the loss of a pregnancy can sometimes be as hurting as the loss of a child.

Alfred agreed and got into the car. As he drove in the direction of the hospital where Rita had told them

she was admitted, he was ruminating over what might have led to the miscarriage.

She was happy all evening yesterday. She left for work that morning. What might have led to a sudden

miscarriage? She was not having any challenge, that is observable that might suggest a threatened

miscarriage.

Has Julia done anything to her? Or had she caught him with another woman? Did she discover that her

husband slept out when she wasn't home?

This news of a miscarriage is too sudden. Where isn't there signs of a threatened miscarriage? Why

sudden?

He must find out what happened. He would see the doctor and find out why his sister had a

miscarriage. Couldn't they manage her and prevent the miscarriage from taking place?

As he drove into the hospital parking lot, he sighted Rita's car. He knew they were at the right place.

Quickly Monica alighted from the car and went into the hospital. She asked if she wanted to see her

daughter and when she called Rita's name, the nurse directed her to the gynaecology ward.

As Monica rushed in, Alfred followed her from a distance. He saw where his mother entered but

paused. Rather he turned aside and asked a nurse passing by to direct him to the doctor in charge of

the gynaecology ward.

He soon came face to face with the head surgeon who operated on Rita. He introduced himself and

said he was Rita' s brother.

But he wants to know what led to his sister's miscarriage? "I already told her husband and his relatives"

The doctor answered politely.

Alfred was not satisfied. He was going to probe further. He needs answers and doesn't want to ask that

dirty Husband of his sister.

"I know. But can't imagine that could lead to a miscarriage. I felt you should be able to rescue the baby

and salvage the situation.."Alfred spoke, looking like someone disappointed.

The head surgeon, trying to explain to Alfred that it wasn't their fault, that they could not do anything to

save the dead child.

"Like I said before, Ms Rita suffered from depression…"the doctor went on explaining how she drove to

the hospital in a terrible State and almost would have died if they hadn't rushed her into the theatre for

an emergency surgery.

When Afred left the doctor's office, he felt sobered. Rita had suffered within the few months of her

marriage to Julia. It's a pity that she kept her pains hidden from her loved ones.

What could probably have led to depression if Julia didn't abandon her and go after other women. She

saw the man she was pregnant with his child going after other women.

She even drove herself to the hospital? Where was Julia? Rita had to drive herself to the hospital. This

is pure torture for her.

She was covering up for Julia. Why would she do that to them? If she couldn't tell anyone what her

pains and fears are, couldn't she tell them as well?

Are they strangers to her now? "Why Rita?" Alfred asked quietly. He walked towards the ward his

mother entered.

Monica was sobbing quietly and consoling her daughter. Everyone felt pity for the mother and daughter

pair.

Monica is a young woman. No one expected to see her so young in appearance. She would almost be

mistaken as Rita's elder sister.

She and her daughter bore a lot of semblance and being an ambassador, she has the grace of a well

exposed woman.

Julia had seen her pictures before but never met her. Seeing her now, he can't help but conclude she is

a very beautiful woman.

" It's enough, baby. Stop sobbing at once" Monica consoled. She wiped the tears off her puffy face. She

was sobbing herself but urging Rita not to sob anymore.

After a while, Alfred walked in. He looked cold and expressionless. He saw everyone present. Some

seating and the men standing.

Julia was standing with his hands across his chest. He looked unhappy too but Alfred didn't spare him

another glance.

He said hello to Carol Li and Theresa before bowing slightly before Junxie Li. "Hello President Li" .

Junxie Li saw him and knew he was Rita's brother. He smiled at him and Carol Li blessed him. Theresa

waved at him but before everyone, he didn't say anything to Julia.

He went closer to his sister and put his hands in his pants pocket. He felt sorrowful seeing his sister's

pathetic state.

"I want to go home with you momma," Rita said. She hadn't said anything to her mother since she

walked in. She just wants to leave Li's family members and be home with her mother.
