Can't Let Go novel Chapter 110

The word "disfigure"...

means the end of the world for women.

Mary Yun did wake up in the next hour.

Then a heart-wrenching scream echoed the entire ward.

Crack. The mirror was tossed hard on the ground.

"Ah-"

Mary Yun was devastated.

Her face was all covered by white bandage except that pair of fishy eyes.

Disfigured.

Her face was completely disfigured...

Hands were quiveringly touching these white cloth.

hiss-

A killing sense of pain was scorching all over her face.

Tears were dripping down on the sheet.

On seeing this, everyone frowned and was not sure whether to say something to console her.

"I'm... I'm disfigured, right?" She looked up and glanced around. Tears were falling from her cheeks like incessant rain s.

"Mary..." Gu Liangchen's eyebrows were slightly twisted, "Well, you survived... That's good enough."

Mary Yun stared at her. "I survived..."

But her face...

Then there came a string of desperate screams, "Ah-Ah-"

Qu Zhirong was sitting on her wheelchair, the moment she was to come to her, Mary Yun was embraced by Gu Liangchen who just said, "Mary, stay calm, stay calm!"

"My face, my face..."

Disfigured!

She didn't want disfigurement!

How pretty she used to be! She's well aware of that!

She didn't thought of disfigurement, she never wanted to be a monster!

Mary Yun turned from quivering to raging that she tried to tear the bandage off.

"I'm not disfigured, I'm not disfigured!" She shouted with all her strength.

"Miss Yun, you can't tear these off!" The nurse dashed toward her.

"Back off, back off. This is no me! Not me!" Mary Yun yelled and pushed Liangchen away. Then she scanned all of them in the room in defense.

She was not pretending or acting these.

Her pain was darn true.

Linda was standing at the corner and gazing at her twin sister who was now completely disfigured, she didn't sense any release.

"Mary, please don't do that. Calm down, calm down." Gu Liangchen tried to come closer to her once more.

"Mary..." Qu Zhirong rolled the wheelchair to her bed and clutched the quilt to apologize, "Sorry, I'm sorry..."

Mary Yun's empty eyes took a glance at Qu Zhirong, from which tears couldn't stop falling out.

On seeing this, Michael Huo came to her bed.

The next time that Mary Yun looked up, she saw directly into a pair of eyes whose owner was standing beside her bed.

For an instant, she hurriedly covered her face with both of her hands and was trembling like crazy.

"Mary..." Qu Zhirong wanted to say something.

"Get out, get out! Don't look at me! Don't see me like this! No..." She screamed even more desperately.

At this moment, James Yun spoke, "May you Huo family leave here for a while? Our Mary wants to have a good rest."

"I want to stay here for her." Qu Zhirong uttered.

"Get out, get out, all get out..." Mary Yun was shaking and wailing madly.

She didn't want anyone to see her awful appearance now.

"You just leave, please don't stimulate her..." Gu Liangchen said to them when she was holding Mary in her arms.

Under this condition, the rest of them had to step out of the room first.

David Huo pushed Qu Zhirong to the room next door and came back to tell them, "You can go home. I'll take care of your mother."

"Dad, I wanna stay." Jennifer Huo replied.

"Uncle, it will be fine. I stay here to look after Auntie." Richard Qu added.

He had already made a phone call to his parents to inform them about these.

His parents said that they couldn't make it here right away--they might come here next week--and asked him to take a good care of his aunt.

"That's alright. I appreciate this. But as you can see, she's fine. She will feel uncomfortable if all of you stay here. You may just go home. And if we need anything, I'll just make a phone call."

"Jennifer!" Michael Huo called her name.

Jennifer Huo looked at her brother and then her father.

David Huo waved his hand to make them leave.

On seeing this, these four had to just leave there.

But the moment Michael Huo got to the hall, his phone rang.

It was Joe Guo. He called him to inform that there was a very important contract needed him to sign.

And the president of JO Group who made an appointment for next week did come here today. And he wanted to see Huo immediately.

Michael Huo cast an unwilling look to Linda and said, "I'm going to the company. You come back with Jennifer and Richard Qu , okay?"

Linda didn't say a word but nodding her head instead.

"Be a good girl and wait for me." He took Linda's hand toJennifer.

Then he headed to the door. Joe Guo's car was already pulled over there.

The moment when the car Michael Huo took was out of sight, Linda's cell phone sang.

It was Steven Meng.

She walked aside to answer it.

A few minutes later, she walked to them and said, "Richard Qu, Jennifer, well, I have an emergency. You may go home first, I'll come back later."

Jennifer Huo frowned, "Sister, where are you going? My brother has told us to bring you home."

"It is nothing big. I'll come back home very soon." Linda smiled slightly and said to Richard Qu , "Take Jennifer home! And, see you guys later!"

Then she just turned around and dashed to the front gate.

Jennifer Huo was feeling uneasy. She wanted to call her but she disappeared swiftly.

Soon, she was nowhere to find.

Then Richard Qu turned to her and said, "Don't search her, I'll take you home."

Jennifer Huo gave him a strange look and said hurriedly, "No thanks. I'll take a cab." When she was about to move forward, she was grabbed by the wrist, "Jennifer Huo, why are you still hiding from me?"

Jennifer Huo didn't dare to turn around for her lips were quivering madly and her body was shaking slightly.

"What happened in Britain..."

"I remembered everything!" Out of a sudden, Jennifer Huo looked back at him and uttered loudly.

As for Richard Qu, he was speechless now...

Jennifer Huo frowned and was avoiding his eyes. Later, she seemed to put up enough courage to claim, "You are my brother! Brother!"

Richard Qu put down his hand.

Jennifer Huo took a deep breath and forced herself to be calm. Then she just beamed and said, "Richard Qu brother, that... that was just an incident. Don't mention it again."

After ping her words, she ran away.

On hearing these, a kind of disappointment appeared on his face.

-

When Linda arrived at Steven Meng's place, he had just finished preparing the lunch.

"Here comes our Linda!" Steven Meng opened the kitchen door and hobbled in.

"Uncle Meng, you have made a lot of dishes!" Linda smiled.

"These are all for you. Come on, this is my specialty." Then, he went back to the kitchen again for bowls and chopsticks.

Linda put her backpack down and helped him with some chores.

"Uncle Meng, I have sent you a help. Why are you still doing all these housework?"

"I dismissed her. There's no need to find a help for me. I can do these on my own. Come and sit!"

Linda knew that Uncle Meng was trying to save money for her. So she sat down and frowned unconsciously, "Uncle Meng, I mean I'm living a well-off life. I have this money to hire a help for you, you really don't have to save money for me."

"Look what you little girl says, you can't squander these money, right?" After saying these, Steven Meng seemed to be in a good mood and poured himself a little glass of liquor.

And they started to have their lunch. They had three dishes and one soup.

The meal couldn't be simpler, but it was the best one that Linda had ever had.

After the lunch, Steven Meng handed her a little box.

"What’s this?" Linda took the box over and was a little bit confused.

Steven Meng didn't say anything but took a gulp.

This kind of unusual behavior really made her more puzzled.

Then she took off the lid--there lied an envelope.

Linda opened it, in which there were some photos.

Patricia Bai was on these pictures.

She was wearing a backpack and entered a KTV with another woman.

Then it could be clearly told by the mark on one of them--that girl showed up at the gate at 10:00 p.m.

But Patricia Bai didn't.

After a while, she could see that her mother--seemed to be a little bit drunk--was supported by some men to dive into a car.

And the man who was sitting beside the driver could be clearly told that he was... James Yun!

After that, the car disappeared.

Linda was completely stuck.

She was petrified.

"Those are photos taken at the night when your mother was raped. That woman was the one who asked your mother out. Now she's living in another city and leads a bitter life. So it took me 500 thousand yuan to acquire this file." Steven Meng explained.

"Why, why she would have these photos?" Linda enquired.

"Probably she's afraid that James Yun would frame her. So she kept these evidences to protect herself." Steven Meng's voice was a little bit hoarse.

Linda clutched her hands. She already knew that her mother's being raped had something to do with James Yun.

But she was really stroke by the darn proved truth.

She trembled, "Were... were these three men that raped my mom?"

Steven Meng shook his head, "It's hard to tell. Even though your mother found out she was pregnant a month later, she wouldn't tell who's the father..."

Linda gasped for a few seconds that she was totally pissed off.

"Devil! He is a devil!" She paced back and forth in the room.

James Yun was a monster!

Her mother's parents were murdered by him.

Even his wife--Linda's mother was framed by him!

"Linda..."

"Bang!" Linda popped her hands on the table with reddened eyes, "I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!"

"Linda, don't be furious. You listen to me!" Steven Meng hurried to her and grabbed her wrist, "It is not easy to destroy him by merely these photos. You have to take it slow. We will not only have his life paid, but also reveal his true face to the whole Austral City. He's enjoying a prominent reputation now, if you're too hasty, you might not get the result you want!"

Linda's eyebrows were twisted together and she seemed to be bursting into tears.

"Uncle Meng, where is she now? I want her to be the witness!" Linda stared at Steven Meng in the eyes.

Meng shook his head in vain and said, "She left a way out for herself over 20 years ago. Do you think she will continue staying here after she gave me these evidences?"

Linda was silent after hearing this.

"These are very important, please keep them safe. And as for James Yun, we are bound to destroy him one day." He added.

Linda walked to the window and gasped heavily.

Calm down.

She needed to calm down.

Actually, she had already foreseen all of these, right?

Breathed in and breathed out... She tried to make herself calm.

"Linda..."

"Uncle Meng, believe me. I won't behave on impulse. You're right, I have to ponder over on things. Now that he could my posted video and put on a show with Liangchen, it means that he was a lot more sophisticated than he was before." She snorted at herself, "I looked down on him."

"My kid, don't worry. Anyway, I can be your witness. If there is his doom, I'll be the first one to prove his crime!"

Linda was moved by this man in front of her. He seemed to be over 60, but he was just in his early 50s.

By the way, her mother had never expected that the man who truly loved her had always been there for her!

"Thank you, Uncle Meng..."

"My child, just ask me if you need any help. Oh, yes, I went to visit your mother yesterday." On saying this, he smiled and waddled into his room. Then he took out a flower basket and showed her, "See, is it beautiful?"

"This is..."

"This is Chinese wisteria, your mom's favorite. When she lived in her old house, wisteria was blooming all over her yard in May. She loved to dance under the tree. I saw the flower blossomed by the street, so I picked some for your mom. Take this, it's beautiful!" Steven Meng handed the basket to her.

Looking at these beautiful flower, she held her tears back and said, "Yeah, it's beautiful..."

"That's great." Meng beamed and said, "Just go home, don't let worry about your being late."

Linda nodded, "Then I'll visit you in two or three days."

"I'll be fine. If I miss you, I can go to your school to see you." Meng didn't want others to see him being limp that they might say Linda had a disabled uncle. "And don't panic, now you know the truth, you don't let it show. As for measures, give me some time, I'll think over."

"Okay!" Linda smiled back and said, "Then I just go home."

"Well, take care!"

Linda nodded, took the basket and photos and went down stairs.

"Bang, bang, bang" The door was knocked heavily.

Steven Meng answered the door with a joke, "Are you leaving something in..."

-

Linda was absent-minded when traipsing in the neighborhood with the flower basket.

These photos...

Each scene of the photo was like a needle pricking hard on her heart.

It was so hurt that she couldn't even breathe.

James Yun!

Her fists were tightly clutched and her eyes were full of fire of revenge.

She would never let go of him!

"Oh my God! Someone committed suicide!" Out of a sudden, people began to run to check what had just happened.

Linda was confused--committed suicide?

Before she turned around to check what was really going on, another voice echoed.

"Is that shoe-repairing cripple! He jumped out of the window!"

Linda was stuck, she looked back instantly.

And she started to rush the next second.

She felt it took her forever to get there, which was merely a three minutes’ walk.

Soon, she approached the crowd.

"Jesus, it's too tragic. Look away, look away..."

At this very moment, she squeezed in like she had immense power.

On the ground,

The man in the blood pond was...

Steven Meng!

The basket fell off from her hand. Linda's eyes were soon full of tears.

At the next second, she dashed over and yelled, "Uncle Meng."
