A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 125

Lily stood at the door of Linda's ward for a while. She wasn't sure if she should enter. She was worried that Linda wouldn't forgive her.

But what else could she do?

"Go on, Lady Linda is waiting for you." Paul said to Lily.

"Alright..."

Hesitantly, Lily nodded. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Inside the room, a sweet voice called out, "Come in."

Lily entered the ward.

Upon seeing Linda's condition, she was consumed with immense guilt. Tears started streaming down her cheeks. Linda cast a glance at her, but she didn't say anything to console her.

After the incident, Linda held no love for Lily. She almost died because of her. Some mistakes didn't deserve forgiveness.

Why would she forgive her now?

But Lily's crying softened her heart. "Lily, don't cry. I'm not scolding you. Why are you crying?"

Lily knelt down by Linda's bed, and burst into another round of tears. She whimpered, "I'm really sorry, Linda! I didn't mean to lie to you."

"Alright." Linda said stiffly.

"I didn't know things would turn out that way." She was shocked when she saw the image?of Linda hanging by a crane over the river in the news.

She was still frightened at the thought of it.

"What now?" Despite what Lily said, Linda seemed apathetic. Lily felt even more upset.

"Linda, can you forgive me?" Lily felt lost hearing Linda's cold tone.

She should have thought twice before acting the way she did.

Linda smiled grimly. "Why should I forgive you?"

"Linda..."

"Lily, there are mistakes you can't turn back from once you've made them." Linda sighed. Her heart softened at the sight of Lily's distressed face.

Lily nodded fervently as she listened. "Of course, Linda. I promise this will never happen again! I'll never do stupid things like that?ever again!"

Linda smiled at her earnest face. "Alright. Charles and I forgive you."

Lily?had another purpose for her visit. It was to return Linda's SIM card. She took it out from her bag and said, "Linda, this is your SIM card. A man called you this morning. He asked you to return his phone call when you have time."

"A man?"

Who would call her? Linda couldn't figure it out.

"He said his name was Robert Huo."

Robert.?Taking the SIM card, Linda said, "Lily, my phone's broken. Could you lend me yours?"

Lily handed her phone to Linda. With a knowing look, ?she said, "I'll leave you to your phone call."

"Yes, "

Lily's phone was old, the kind that could only make phone calls and send messages. Linda browsed the call history. A familiar number caught her eye. It was Charles' number.

The?main reason she forgave Lily was because Lily had called Charles so he could rescue her. From this, she knew that Lily had not betrayed her on purpose.

She was just a?na?ve girl who made a stupid mistake.

On top of Charles' number was another number. It must belong to Robert Huo.

Linda dialed the number.

Robert was in the middle of a meeting when she called. He was about to dismiss his ringing phone, when he saw the number on the screen.

He paused.

It looked familiar. It seemed like the number he dialed yesterday.

... Could it be Linda?

Robert didn't want to miss a call from her, so he picked up his phone and stepped out of the conference room.

The Huo Group Board of Directors were shocked.

During meetings, Robert Huo would dismiss all incoming phone calls without hesitation. Who could be so important?that Robert would?interrupt the meeting?

They started whispering to each other.

A sweet voice greeted Robert when he picked up, "Hello."

Robert always felt nervous when it came to Linda.?His heartbeat would race and his face would flush.

"This is Robert Huo."

"I know. What's up?"

"I heard that you were hospitalized. Can I come visit?

The Mu Private Hospital prohibited visitation. And if the information leaked, it could have a negative impact on their reputation. More importantly, Charles would get jealous once he found out.

"There's no need. It's nothing serious. I should be discharged in a few days."

"Can I buy you dinner once you recover? You promised me last time." He added before Linda could refuse.

Linda had forgotten. She had promised to have dinner with him before.

After all, they?used to be very close back in college. Linda always sought advice from him about school. At the time, Robert had a great talent in chemistry.

"Alright. I'll have dinner with you."

"I'll send you the time and address tomorrow."

After?their conversation, Robert went back to the conference room to resume the meeting. Linda pulled out the SIM card in the phone and returned it to Lily.

After telling Bun to get her a new phone, she installed the SIM card in the new one.

They next day, she received a message from Robert. The rendezvous was at a cafe near the back gate of their Alma Mater.

Linda was elated.?They could visit their Alma Mater after dinner.

Two days later, Charles personally arrived at the hospital to take her home. Anna prescribed her many traditional Chinese medicine and urged Bun to boil them for her. Linda was amused.

She imagined turning into a medicine jar from drinking so much traditional Chinese medicine.

That night in bed, Charles contented himself?with holding her in his arms tightly.

Linda wasn't up for any amorous activity yet. Her body was still recovering and the bruises haven't faded away. Charles curbed his desire by taking a long and cold shower.

Cocooned in Charles' arms, Linda felt so secure that she slept soundly that night.
