A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 116

Brian glanced at the floating time bomb with steely determination.

There's no way he could let Linda die. Should anything happen to Charles's beloved girl, Charles would be shattered by grief.

Brian Ho and Charles Mu were always as thick as thieves. Futhermore, Charles had once saved Brian's life.

So Brian would not hesitate to go through fire and water for Charles.

For as long as Brian had known him, Charles Mu had never showed interest in any woman. So Brian thought Charles would remain single through his whole life.

But everything changed after Linda came into the picture.

Besides, it's Brian's fault that Linda was put in jeopardy now, so Brian was determined to get her back at all costs.

The time bomb was ticking, which unsettled Brian.

Holding Linda tight to his chest, Brian Ho turned his back to the time bomb and swam toward the shore as quickly as he could.

Three, two, one...

The bomb went off.

Even though Brian Ho swam as far away from the bomb as he could, They only got as far as fifteen inches away from the tomb when it exploded. Brian felt an excruciating pain on his back when the bomb went off. The onslaught of the heat wave was simply too much for him.

But he didn't give up and went on swimming even though he was exhausted.

On the pier, Bullets shot through Vincent Zhou's limbs soon after Linda fell into the river.

Vincent Zhou dropped to a pool of blood, unable to move. Charles Mu ordered the snipers to avoid the vital parts pf his body to keep him alive.

"How's it going? Have you found them?" Asked Charles Mu with a frown.

"No, Young Master, none of our men has found Lady Linda and Young Master Ho yet."

"Keep searching and put more men on it."

Bun came down from the high ground and looked at Charles Mu with red-rimmed eyes, "Young Mater, it's all my fault. I failed to protect My Lady."

Charles Mu knew Bun's not the one to blame for this emergency and he's not a man who drew no distinction between right and wrong. So he said, "Never mind, I now it's not your fault."

Many of their enemies were out for blood. What happened today had proved it: Not long after Bun left, Linda's life was immediately put in danger.

When they were about 32 inches away from the shore, Brian Ho felt he's going to slip into a coma. Then he whipped out the dagger clipped to his belt and cut one of his arm.

The sharp pain made him lucid.

He was exhausted, but still grasped Linda lest she might float away.

Fortunately, some of Charles's men spotted them and pulled them out of the water before Brian Ho passed out.

"Young Master Ho! My Lady! Are you OK?"

"Loosen the rope around her. I am afarid she could not make it..."

They were put on a lifeboat which would carry them to the shore.

When the two reached the pier, Charles Mu took over Linda, who was in a coma, looking rather pale.

Looking his poor wife-to-be, Charles Mu's heart ached. He frowned and stroked her cheek with one of his trembling hands.

Brian Ho looked pale too. He managed to tugged at Charles Mu's sleeve and said, "Charles, I am terribly sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so negligent, Linda would not have ended up like this..."

Charles Mu glanced at Brian Ho and found he's bleeding all over himself. His back must be badly injuried.

"An simple apology won't do. I'll get even with you after you recover." Charles Mu looked at him with cold eyes. He ordered some of his men to carry Brian Ho away from the pier. And Linda was carried by himself.

The rest was taken care of by Paul.

They came to the private hospital of the Mu clan as soon as possible. Anna was fully prepared for their arrival.

However, when they did arrive, she was still shocked by the terrible look of Linda.

"What happened to Lady Linda?"

Asked Anna as she examined Linda with a frowning look on her face.

"Linda was kidnapped. She was hung up for almost half an hour and fell into the water. But I guess she didn't drown. Give her a thorough examination to see whether there's something wrong."

Charles Mu felt rather uneasy and knitted his brows. It made his heart ache so much to see Linda in a coma looking so pale.

Anna tested Linda's heartbeat and felt relived to know she's alive.

"I'll take her to the ER. No need to worry, Young Master. She's going to be OK. You should wait outside."

While waiting outside of the surgery room, Charles Mu kept pacing around.

He's fretting about something.

Brian Ho was taken to hospital now. His back was badly injured by the shrapnels and it would take him at least half a month to recover.

Bun was sitting outside the operating room and the red light was on. Bun's heart was in her mouth when she though about what they were going through.

A nearby nurse came up to Bun to calm her down, "Bun, don't worry. Dr. Xu is an experienced doctor. Lady Linda is in good hands."

It was Brian who came out of the operating room first and by then he was fully conscious.

Brian was wrapped up in many layers of banages. Bun was taken aback by how he looked and said, "Young Master Ho, why are you wrapped up in so many layers of bandages? You look like a mummy."

"Bun, I was hurt so badly today. You don't care about me and even say I look like a mummy. I felt pretty sad, you know." Brian Ho lay on his stomach and shook his head with a melancholy expression.

"But you really look funny." Bun giggled with her hands covering her month.

"Fine, As long as it makes you happy."

Charles Mu was still sitting beside them with his brows knitted. Even though he knew there's no need to worry about Linda since Anna told him so, Charles Mu still felt uneasy.

Bun was upset by the bleak expression on Charles Mu's face, but she could not find a word to comfort him.

"Get some rest. You are badly injured." said Charles Mu lightly as he glanced Brian Ho whose face was twisted with pain.

"Charles... "I..."

"Well, say no more. it's not the first time you pull something stupid in order to get laid." said Charles Mu, rubbing his hands with a disgusted look on his face.

Brian Ho opened his month, but don't know how to counter the accusation. A sheepish look froze on his face.

"Come on, Charles. I have risked my life for Linda today. Please stop being mad at me! I could have been disfigured, you know."

"... "Disfigured? Even better."

"If I had been disfigured, Bun would have lost a good-looking husband."
