Can't Let Go novel Chapter 107

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became suffocating.

The whole body of Mary Yun quivered heavily and her face became paler and paler. The bottle with the water on the hand shook for her severe tremble.

Gu Liangchen was equally shocked and didn't know what to say.

James Yun responded first, and asked with somewhat angry," Ting Chen, what are you talking about? Do you have any evidence that Mary killed Patricia Bai? At that time, Patricia Bai was terminally ill. So she would not live long. How could this responsibility be shirked to Mary? That's her birth mother. How could she not be sad, en?"

Linda clenched fists with body shivered slightly.

James Yun was still arguing at this moment?

"No, I haven't done it. I admit I don't like her. Why did she take Linda away, not me? Can't I blame her? Now I grew up. Because she wanna recognize me, so should I be filial to her? No, I can't do it!" Mary Yun also reacted quickly and roared with a crying voice.

"Mary, don't be excited. You can't be excited!" Gu Liangchen hugged and patted her gently on the back to comfort her.

"I haven't done it. I really haven' done it. It's none of my business!" Mary Yun roared, "she was already sick and going to die. Why should I take the responsibility for her death?"

Hearing the words, Linda couldn't tolerate anymore but rushed forward.

But when she passed Michael Huo, he embraced her tightly.

Linda looked up with starlet eyes, her body trembling to show her strong anger.

Naturally, Michael Huo felt it. His big hand gently comforted her back and calmed her down.

"Trust me, OK?"

Linda didn't speak, just looking at him. For a while, she lowered head, but still clenched the fists.

Just then, the door opened.

The visitor was Joe Guo. Instead of looking at them, he came directly to Michael Huo.

"President Huo, the data are all here." Joe Guo handed him a phone and a document folder.

Everyone in the room dared not breathe. What's the information there?

What's in the phone and file?

Mary Yun sat on the bed uneasily.

Michael Huo opened the folder and took out a piece of paper to read.

Everyone wanted to look over, but Michael Huo was 1.9 meters tall.

He was so tall, and he holding the paper so tight that they could not see even if they stood on tiptoe.

What's more, they were face to face with Michael Huo.

So it's even more difficult to see clearly.

Michael Huo looked at the paper, suddenly hooked lips and put it down.

Once again, he looked at Mary Yun coldly, "OK, please answer my first question, is it you on the video?"

Mary Yun stunned, and didn't know that he would turn the topic to the video again.

"No!" Without thinking about it, she refused directly.

With a faint smile, Michael Huo seemed not surprised by this answer.

"So, is this abortion yours?" Michael Huo suddenly threw the paper to her.

Abortion?

Qu Zhirong stunned.

Gu Liangchen grabbed the sheets of paper from the bed and looked at them.

These were a B-ultrasound and some painless abortion files.

Gu Liangchen looked at Mary Yun in dismay but she couldn't act out.

Mary Yun looked at the paper, forgetting to respond.

Qu Zhirong went over to take the paper to read.

Then, she frowned, "isn't Linda?"

Gu Liangchen looked over, and found that all files were named Linda.

So immediately she shouted, "look, Linda. It's Linda, who had an abortion!"

For this sentence, Mary Yun returned to her mind quickly and said trembly, "Yeah, it's Linda, not me. There's a record on it!"

David Huo came over to pick up the paper.

"What..."

The above name in the paper was indeed Linda.

Michael Huo smiled faintly without speaking and he looked to Joe Guo.

Joe Guo clearly understood, then turned on the TV again, connecting to the phone and starting playing.

"Here's the information from a private hospital. Let's have a look at it!" Joe Guo said.

Immediately, the crowd watched it. It was taken by the surveillance of hospital, where showed the date and time clearly.

It clearly showed that Mary Yun, wearing sunglasses and hat, entered the hospital at half past to one in the afternoon.

Though she was well dressed, it could be told from her back, walking posture and curly brown hair that she was Mary Yun.

And the time she left the hospital was at half past three in the afternoon.

With the help of a female friend, she left the hospital.

"Miss Mary Yun, this is you!" Joe Guo asked.

"No!" Mary Yun busily denied it.

"Hey, Secretary Guo, you should be responsible for your words. Why are you sure it's Mary? Why not Linda? I believe they are exactly the same!" Gu Liangchen really didn't give up.

Instead of refuting, Joe Guo took out his phone again and played another video.

This video was taken by a friend from Phoenix City.

In the video, Linda was at school at the same time on the same date.

Staying in school from eight o'clock in the morning, and Linda left school at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The video distinctly showed what Linda did at any time, including when she ate in the canteen, when exercised in the playground, and when left school. It's all clear.

Moreover, at that time, Linda had long black hair, which was an direct contrast to the wavy hair of Mary Yun.

Once again, it was silent in the room.

Linda looked at Michael Huo beside. For a moment, she didn't how to do with him.

These files...

When did he collect?

"Mary Yun, it's true, isn't it? Qu Zhirong questioned Mary Yun.

Mary Yun didn't answer and the whole of her was seemed to be wilting and trembling.

"You, you...are you crazy? You're going to mad me, right? I trust you so much!" Qu Zhirong felt cheated and couldn't stand anymore. All of a sudden, she was held by David Huo.

"Rong," David Huo calmed her, "don't be angry."

Qu Zhirong laid hands on the temple, looked at Mary Yun, then shook angrily, "I wanna go home, go home!"

"OK, OK, let's go home." David Huo ignored them and helped his wife to go outside.

James Yun stepped forward to slap Mary Yun with all his strength.

The slap, hit Mary Yun's ears buzzed.

"Damn it!" he slammed the door and left.

"Mom..." Mary Yun hugged Gu Liangchen tightly to cry, and didn't know what to do.

Michael Huo came over with Linda, "this is your last chance for your heart. If you... Then I would rather destroy it, wouldn't let you live!"

Mary Yun looked at Michael Huo in astonishment, but the whole person didn't know what to say except for astonishment.

"Let's go home!" Michael Huo looked at Linda in his arms.

Linda said nothing.

Looking at Mary Yun's pale face, suddenly, she didn't hate anymore.

Qu Zhirong knew what Mary Yun really was.

Michael Huo also knew everything.

It's hard for Mary Yun to perk again!

What's more, she did want to destroy her, but didn't really want her to die.

After all...

They were related by blood.

Turning around, she walked towards the door.

Michael Huo then followed out.

Joe Guo looked at Mary Yun and Gu Lingchen, "Miss Mary Yun, conduct yourself!"

Then, he closed the door and left.

Gsuddenly, Gu Liangchen turned around and loosened Mary Yun to slap her severely.

---

In the luxury car,

"Would you blame me?" Michael Huo looked at Linda.

"Blame for what?"

"Blame me for not putting her..." He didn't go on, but he believed that she could understand.

Linda looked down, "I never thought of killing her, let alone today she's got what she deserves!"

Stabbed herself in the heart.

And So many secrets had come out.

Also, Qu Zhirong clearly recognized her.

Presumably, now, she should be more alive than dead.

Michael Huo grabbed her hand and smiled lightly, "don't worry. I'm here. I won't let her hurt you. If I find out once, I won't spare her!"

Linda didn't speak, but looked sideways.

Today, she was really shocked by what he had done.

She didn't expect that he should have investigated so much secretly.

"Are you hungry? Let's go out to have food, OK?" When Michael Huo noticed that she was somewhat avoiding him, he asked immediately.

"Go home," she replied in a low voice, "your mother should be sad now. Let's go home to comfort her a little..."

Michael Huo smiled faintly, which had some meaningful feelings.

However, Linda felt uncomfortable about it. So she turned around and frowned at him, "what are you laughing at?"

His eyes were full of spoiling, "are you concerned about you mother-in-law?" He stretched out hand to rub her head.

Linda clapped his hand off and frowned, "I'm not a puppy. Do not touch my head like that!"

Michael Huo was interested in her unhappy appearance, so he suddenly bowed head and stretched out to her, "you can touch me. I don't mind!"

Linda looked at his dark hair impatiently, "Michael Huo!"

"Yes?" He looked up at her and smiled.

Seeing this, Linda resisted her rageand turned to look out of the window, "go home quickly. I'm hungry..."

"OK!"For the first time, he smiled happily.

Also, she seemed, for the first time, to show a little temper in front of him.

---

When they arrived in the house, the kitchen was preparing lunch.

And Qu Zhirong lay in the room as soon as she came back, not willing to see her anyone.

David Huo was also driven out by her.

In the living room, there was a rare visitor, Richard Qu .

And David Huo was chatting with Richard Qu .

"Brother..." When Richard Qu saw them, he stood up to greet. While he stared at Linda for a few seconds and laughed, "sister!"

Holding Linda, Michael Huo smiled to walk towards him, "why not tell me first, bro?"

"I've just been here for a while, brother. What's wrong with aunt?" Richard Qu questined carefully.

He's just arrived, and didn't know what's going on.

Qu Zhirong came back unpleasantly and had no respond to seeing him.

"Nothing. By the way, did you have time to here?" Michael Huo knew Qu Zhirong was complicated now.

She needed time to think quietly.

Now, she should not listen to anything. It's no use to confront.

"I may not be able to leave in time. Or I may stay in Austral City. My dad gave me the business here. I'm busy these two days."

Michael Huo smiled, went up and patted him on the shoulder, "you should have stayed. You can ask me whatever you don't understand."

Richard Qu nodded and smiled, "of course!"

Soon, the food was ready.

David Huo worried about Qu Zhirong, so he asked Aunt Zhang to bring food to his room to eat together.

Therefore, there were only three of them on the table.

Michael Huo and Richard Qu had been talking about business, which was not the hobby of Linda.

Obviously, she hadn't recovered from what happened in the morning.

"You two eat. I'm full. Go to room first." Linda stood up and looked at them.

Richard Qu looked at the rice in her bowl. It's hardly been eaten.

"OK!" Michael Huo answered.

Linda nodded, then went upstairs.

Instead of going up the stairs, she went up the elevator.

Unexpectedly, when the elevator opened, she saw Jennifer Huo lying on the stairway, secretly looking down.

"Jennifer?" Linda muttered.

Her voice made the two men in the dining room look up at the past at the same time.

Jennifer Huo shocked, got up quickly and rushed to her room.

"Aunt Zhang?"

"Yes, Master."

"Jennifer didn't go to class today?"

Aunt Zhang shook head, "no. She said she had no class today."

Richard Qu frowned after the words.

————

Confused, Linda opened the door of Jennifer Huo.

Jennifer Huo was lying in the bed with quilt covered.

"What's the matter?" Linda came over to lift the quilt.

Jennifer Huo got up and curled her lips, "nothing. It's nothing. I...I'm sleepy..."

Then, she grabbed the quilt wanna to lie down again.

But Linda drew the quilt that let her couldn't move.

"What's wrong? Sister?" Jennifer Huo asked.

"You're peeking at Richard Qu just now!" Linda answered in a positive way, not negative.

Suddenly, Jennifer Huo nerved and defended in hurry, "nonsense! I, I couldn't peek at him!"

Then, she tightened the quilt, "release the quilt. I wanna sleep!"

Linda didn't pumped but still held the quilt.

"You. Don't look at me..." Jennifer Huo felt worried, then she stood up, "I, I just heard that mom was not OK. I, I go to see her."

She loosed the quilt quickly to get out of the bed and put on shoes.

"Jennifer Huo!" Linda called.

Jennifer Huo stunned but didn't turn around, "wh...what's wrong?"

Linda didn't continue, just lowering head to think about something.

For had not hearing any questions, Jennifer Huo turned around, "what's the matter?"

Linda looked up to see her with careful eyes, which drove Jennifer Huo feel uncomfortable.

"You..."

"You hadn't forgotten Richard Qu , had you?"

Jennifer Huo frowned with a bit nervous, "what! Who tell you that. I don't like him. If I like him, why will I like someone else?"

Linda didn't reply, just looking at her.

"Fine. If you don't believe, I'm out!" then, Jennifer Huo opened the door to run away.

Linda didn't speak but she knew that Jennifer Huo was lying.

Jennifer Huo didn't forget Richard Qu .

---

Back to the room, Linda didn't think about Jennifer Huo and contacted with Wang Kai with computer.

Though, she was only nominally involved and as a matter of fact, Michael Huo let his staff had done it all, she still wanted to participate in person.

After all things done, it's already over six o'clock in the afternoon.

Michael Huo didn't go upstairs to the room for the whole afternoon.

So Linda believed he was confronting Qu Zhirong!

However, she didn't mind it, just rubbing sore shoulders herself.

'Ding-Dong', a message came in.

It was from Paul Mu.

”The money is ready. Do not forget send the information on time.”

Linda curled lips lightly, tomorrow was the birthday of Gu Liangchen?

The time flied!

”Deal!” Linda replied the message.

Then, sent him a video.

She knew that Paul Mu would report the video before dawn punctually.

After sending the video, she put the phone down and was ready to open the door.

Suddenly, the door was opened at the same time.

Several servants came in with some dishes.

At the last, there was Michael Huo followed with smile.

"What are you doing?" Linda asked Michael Huo.

"Have dinner with you." He smiled, "we have dinner here tonight, not going downstairs."

When he explained, the servants had already prepared the dishes and walked out.

"You are hungry now, right?" Michael Huo questioned with smile, "have a taste. To check if it's available."

Sitting on the stool, Linda stunned for what Michael Huo had done. He uncovered the lid of every dish.

"Wh...what's this?"

"I told the chef to cook for you. Have a taste. Yesterday in Phoenix City, I saw you loved the dishes there. So I let the chef to cook it." After the words, Michael Huo picked some food for Linda with chopsticks.

Linda looked at him and then looked at the food in her bowl.

These dishes, was not the same as in the restaurant in Phoenix City?

"Have a taste!" Seeing Linda didn't try, Michael Huo urged, seeming more haste than her.

Afterwards, Linda bowed to have a taste.

"How's it?" Michael Huo asked nervously.

Linda didn't speak but looked at the dishes unbelievably, "it tastes..."

"Delicious?"

Linda turned around to Michael Huo and nodded.

Suddenly, Michael Huo became a little excited that his beautiful and thin lips turning red. He said in a gentle and strong voice, "If it's delicious, have some more. You didn't have something at the noon. Tonight, you should have some more!"

Linda became a little awkward.

She was not used to such care from anyone else.

"Er..." After having some food, Linda looked at him, "how's your mom?"

"She's going out with my dad, Richard Qu and Jennifer. She'll be OK soon. Don't worry." As he said, he picked up some food for her again.

"They're out?" Linda was surprised. She thought Qu Zhirong would stay in the room for a long time, "so, what about you? Why aren't you going out with them?"

Since, dad, Richard Qu and Jennifer were all going out with mum, why he didn't go?

Michael Huo laughed, "if I go with them, what about my wife?"

After being laughed by him, Linda lowed head to have food hurriedly and didn't look at him.

Feeling her uncomfortable, Michael Huo said all of a sudden, "my mom is accompanied by my dad, Richard Qu and my sister. But for you, you only has me!"

"Da" The chopsticks of Linda ped on the ground for his words.

Michael Huo picked up the chopsticks and turned his to Linda, "this chopsticks are clean, you can use it."

Linda looked at him with stunning and astonishment for a long time. Then, she curled lips, "don't be nice to me!"

She stood up, "I'll take a shower."

Michael Huo didn't speak but looked at her back with a bitter smile.

He knew that she was avoiding him and avoiding his feelings.

For a long time, she didn't walked out of the bathroom.

So Michael Huo smiled helplessly and knocked the door of bathroom, "you have some food after shower. I go swimming now."

Then, he went out.

Until the door was closed, Linda stepped out of the bathroom.

The dishes on the table was covered carefully to prevent them being cold.

And the rice in the bowl of Michael Huo was just as it before, not eating by anyone.

Michael Huo, didn't have food.

Coming to the table and taking off the cover, Linda felt confused for the familiar dishes...

She was not used to his nice for her.

Not used to 'love'.

She didn't know that when she could defeat James Yun.

She also didn't know when the truth of Patricia Bai could be knew by everyone.

She even didn't know which day she would leave Austral City...

About love...

She had no courage to have!

Taking a deep breath, she walked to the balcony wrapping the hair.

The moon was light and the view was beautiful tonight.

Flowers in the garden of Huo's family were all blooming. There was a smell of fragrance in the air when standing in the balcony.

The wind was a little wild tonight, but it was not cold for it's already in May.

Linda leaned on the balcony, and wrapped her hair.

”You only have me.”

Her heart was moved again by the words of Michael Huo. And for her wandering, the towel in her loose hand went go with the wind.

She looking down, the white towel was in the grass on first floor.

So she put on her shoes hurriedly and went downstairs by elevator.

"Mrs. Huo." Servants called when they met Linda.

Linda nodded and went towards where the towel was.

A few minutes later, she finally saw the white towel in the grass.

She stepped forward and bowed to pick it up.

"You know how much Mr. Huo loves Mrs. Huo?" Suddenly, a girl's voice came out.

Linda stood up and looked over.

It's a maid and a man with a bucket walking in the road.

"It must love so much. You have seen that, how many times did Mr. Huo learn to cook dishes today. When he turned the spoon on his left hand, his palm was scalded by the pot with big blisters!" Linda knew the man, who helped chef Liu in the kitchen.

"Why not let Chef Liu. If Chef Liu cook, it must be easy. It wasted a lot of food materials." The girl asked.

"Are you stupid? It's love. Do you know? Cooking it personally for Mrs. Yun is different!" The man laughed.

Thinking for a while, the girl agreed, "yeah, that's right. Chef Liu said it cost one hundred thousand to buy the cooking way for dishes. It's expensive."

"Maybe Mrs. Yun loves it. Anyway, go fast. It's my duty today. I have to tidy the chicken."

Then, both of them disappeared one by one.

”These are cooked by Chef Liu, have a taste?”

”The palm of Mr. Huo had a big blister.”

”The cooking way is easy but it costs one hundred thousand. It's too expensive.”

”After shower, you have some more. I go swimming now.”

Linda frowned and immediately, went upstairs.

”You know how much Mr. Huo loves Mrs. Huo? “

Didn't knowing why, Linda got agitated and fastened her step.

Soon, she walked to the swimming pool and opened the door.

In the moonlight, Michael Huo sitting beside the swimming pool, lowing his head, didn't know what he was thinking about.

Hearing the sound, he turned around subconsciously, which made him stunned for a while but then, smiled, "why are you here?"

He stood up.

Linda didn't answer, just stepping towards him.

She held his left hand and checked.

After the pouring of water, the big blister had broken. The scar on the palm was long and narrow, like a curving centipede, which let people be frightening.

"It's OK." Michael Huo subconsciously had to pull his hand back.

Linda quickly raised eyes with flames, and frowned, "are you crazy? It's already hurt like this. You're swimming now? You can't cook, then just don't do it. Why are you so stubborn?"

For the first time, Michael Huo saw her so angry.

Somehow, he felt warm.

Linda watched him not feeling angry, and even wiping a smile. She became even more angry. "what do you buy that prescription for? Ten hundred thousand. You're really rich!"

Seeing this, Michael Huo couldn't help holding her in his arms and putting his jaw on the top of her head, "Linda, do you care about me?"

Linda frowned and tried to struggle, but he didn't let it.

"You always don't eat. Yesterday in Austral City, I saw you eat so many dishes for the first time. So I think you should have a good meal as long as I can do it!" Then, he smiled faintly, "I'm a little stupid to waste a lot of food, but, fortunately, it was finally done. Although you still don't eat much..."

Linda was not struggling anymore and opened her eyes as big as she could.

"You spent ten hundred thousand on those dishes, which were not worth it..."

Hearing the words, Michael Huo smiled. "it's worth it. As long as you like it, it's worth it!"

For a moment, Linda stiffened.

He loosened her slightly and looked at the woman in his arms. Her eyes seemed to have a layer of smoke, with a little confused, and a little dull...

"Linda..." He called.

Linda looked up at him.

"I know it's hard for you to accept me now. That's all right. We have plenty of time. But don't push me away, okay?" At this moment, the eyes of Michael Huo were extremely black and bright, as if they were ready to absorb all the stars in the sky.

Subconsciously, Linda wanna push him away.

But Michael Huo grasped her hands in advance as if he had knew already.

"Don't push me away like that!"

He stared at her quietly, with dark eyes full of mists, such as the stars hanging in the sky, which made people unable to see the scenery behind the deep waves.

Linda didn't speak, but didn't know why, there was a strange feeling spreading from the fingertips to the bottom of her heart, strange and confusing...

---

After a while, Michael Huo took her hands to go back.

Linda wanted to walk alone, but he held too tightly to let her move at all.

As soon as they came out of the swimming pool, they met a servant face to face.

"Mr. And Mrs. Huo, the Master is back, let you go downstairs."

Linda looked at Michael Huo habitually, and their eyes collided.

"It's OK!" He smiled faintly, "I'm here!"

Then, he took her downstairs in the elevator.

On the first floor, Qu Zhirong sat on the sofa with the whole person somewhat depressed.

Next to her, was Richard Qu and Jennifer Huo.

Obviously, Jennifer Huo was not in the state as well, her eyes always looking purposelessly.

"Dad!" Michael Huo came, hugging Linda.

"Dad, mom!" Linda whispered.

"Well, have you eaten yet?" David Huo looked at them.

"Yes," answered Michael Huo, "what's the matter?"

"Well, your mom is not good. We decided to take your mom to Maldives to relax. I've booked the tickets. So you pack your bags tonight and take the plane at ten o'clock tomorrow." David Huo said.

Michael Huo frowned, "what? To Maldives? We together?"

"Yes, everybody. Richard Qu and Jennifer are going too. It's hard to leave you two behind!"

Linda frowned for she didn't want to participate.

Qu Zhirong had no idea about this decision because she was not in the state at all.

"Linda, come here for a minute." David Huo called her.

Linda looked at Michael Huo, and he nodded.

So she went to David Huo's side.

"Linda, I know your mom didn't let you suffer less wrongs. She's short-tempered, but she's warm-hearted. Mary's affair hit her badly. So I organize everyone to relax and get along well with you. I know you're a good girl. I believe your mom will know it too!" David Huo patted her shoulder and said slowly.

Linda looked at David Huo, feeling a little uncomfortable.

At the beginning, everyone didn't like her.

Only David Huo stood on her side.

So far, he had always been helping her.

And it was the first time that she realized how it felt to have a father.

"Dad, I got it!" Linda whispered.

"Well, it's okay. Michael, Jennifer and I are all there. She won't embarrass you, huh?" David Huo smiled.

Linda nodded.

"Well well. All of you guys go back to your room and rest. Pack up your luggage and start tomorrow morning." David Huo came to his wife and helped Qu Zhilong to the room.

Jennifer Huo saw that everyone was gone and stood up busily, "I, I'll go back to my room to pack up."

Then, she fled quickly.

Richard Qu also stood up, "I'm going back to my room, too."

After words, he left.

There were only two of them left in the huge living room.

"What did my dad told you?" Michael Huo looked at Linda.

Just now, he was a little far away from Linda.

So he didn't hear clearly what his dad told to Linda.

"I'm going to pack up." Obviously, Linda didn't want to tell him.

"Well, what? It's so mysterious."Michael Huo followed.

"I don't know!"

"What? Say something about it, eh?"

"Michael Huo, go ask your dad!"

"It's same to ask you. Linda, we do not have a honeymoon. This time, we go Maldives to have a honeymoon, OK?"

"Who wanna have a honeymoon with you?"

"You're my wife. Not having a honeymoon with me, who do you wanna be with?" Then, he smiled, "George Mo was your brother. You can't go with him!"

"Huo, Ting, Chen!"

"Well, I heard you. What did you ask me to do? Well, Linda, Linda..."

The voice in the stairway was fading.

For the first time, the Huo's family could come up with a harmonious and beautiful scene.

However, the Yun's family was planning an earth-shaking premeditation at the time...
