Can't Let Go novel Chapter 128

  A week later,

  The weather was fine in this week.

  Linda Yun enjoyed sitting on the balcony and basking every day. She read books, and sometimes looked at the bay and appreciated the scenery there, with a empty mind.

  Of course, what she enjoyed most was to make interaction with the baby in her womb.

  The temperature difference between day and night was very large in the middle of November.

  Linda Yun took a blanket and sat on the sofa. She was sending messages to Xiao Kui with her mobile phone.

  Xiao Kui went to Thailand with her family members yesterday. And she was shopping right now.

  [Wait for my coming back, I have bought many clothes for your baby, which are very beautiful]

  Linda Yun smiled lightly and replied [Don’t buy too much since there are a lot of baby’s clothes in my home]

  [I got it. You are wordy! The clothes are not for you. You just leave me alone]

  Linda Yun reluctantly replied [Tell me when you will be back, and I will let aunt Fang cook delicious foods for you.]

  [Okay! Now I am going to go shopping]

  Linda Yun looked at the phone, with smile in the corner of her mouth, and then she opened the weibo of George Mo.

  His company had opened market in Austral City. And he was was busy every day during this period.

  However he still regularly sent messages to greet her almost every day, and would visit her together with Xiao Kuoccasionally.

  As for Michael Huo...

  "Ding ding ding" rang the phone.

  She looked downward and found it was Michael Huo’s call, which just like to talk of the devil and he will appear.

  "Have you had dinner?" came the magnetic voice of Michael Huo from his phone.

  "No, I haven’t yet, and aunt Fang is cooking"

  "I will come back earlier this afternoon, and cook dinner for you personally tonight"

  "Okay!" she smiled slightly. However she suddenly screamed out "Oh-------" no sooner after she begin to smile.

  "What’s wrong?" asked Michael Huo. When he suddenly heard her scream from the phone, he was shocked and stood up all at one, inquiring hurriedly "What’s wrong with you, Linda?"

  Linda Yun held the phone without moving. She quickly looked at her belly, and became astounded.

  "Linda, Linda...." shouted Michael Huo anxiously once again.

  "Madam" called aunt Fang. She also ran to her fast after hearing the scream, and asked "What’s wrong with you, madam?"

  "Linda, Linda!" called Michael Huo once again. With no reply, he hurriedly said, "Don’t move, I will come back right now"

  While saying, he took up the suit nearby and stood up.

  "Michael Huo..." Linda Yun spoke all of a sudden.

  Hearing her voice, Michael Huo stopped his pace all at once, and asked "What’s wrong with you, Linda? What have happened with you just before? Is there anything wrong with you, right?"

  "I... I just" she answered, with her eyebrows being twisted "It seemed that ... I had felt that our baby was moving just before....", which she thought seemed to be an illusion.

  "What?" Michael Huo was stunned, and asked once again.

  "Our baby had...had moved in my womb." answered Linda Yun. She looked downward at her plumped belly, with her eyes being red all at once, and said "Michael Huo, our baby moved, and I felt that our baby moved in my uterus!"

  "Really? Wait for me, I will come back soon!" said Michael Huo

  "President Huo, the contract has been prepared well, and do you want to sign it right now " came the voice of Joe Guo from the phone suddenly.

  "The contract will be sign on afternoon since I have another thing to handle with now." said Michael Huo, and hung off the phone.

  Linda Yun put down her phone slowly, with her eyes staring at her belly closely, and her hands stroking her belly quiveringly, and in next second, she suddenly looked forward, with her red eyes, and smiled at aunt Fang, answering "Aunt Fang, my baby moved, and I felt it. He moved!"

  Seeing the delight from her heart, aunt Fang didn’t say a word, and had a mixed feeling at that every moment.

  ’Ding’ rang aunt Fang’s phone in her pocket. It came a message.

  Aunt Fang leaned her body to one side, and took out her phone from pocket, seeing there was a message only with three words [Mom, help me!], which was sent from a phone number she hadn’t noted.

  ————

  More than one hour later.

  Michael Huo Ran back hurriedly.

  "Had our baby moved?" asked Michael Huo. He took off his suit and wore a shirt, and then came to her front.

  Linda Yun nodded with a smile, and said "Yes! He had. But the frequency was not too much. According to books, the fetal movement is not very obvious at the early period, and will be more frequent in the later period" explained Linda Yun.

  When she explained, it was easy to see her gender smile and maternal love.

  Hearing this, Michael Huo put his ear on her belly.

  Linda Yun laughed lightly, and said "He may be slept now since he doesn’t move!"

  Michael Huo also laughed, and said "I can touch and feel it after some period. "

  Linda Yun nodded "Yes! You can touch and feel it after some period!"

  "Sir and madam, the lunch has been prepared well!" said aunt Fang, with a not good complexion, and her hands rubbing the apron in front of her.

  Then, Michael Huo quickly supported her to stand up with his hands, and said "I will take you to go to the supermarket after we finish the lunch, okay?"

  "Aren’t you busy this afternoon? And I heard that you will sign a contract this afternoon from my phone just before." asked Linda Yun.

  "It’s okay to sign it tomorrow." explained Michael Huo. He was very happy, and it seemed that he had seen a soft baby.

  At the sight of this, Linda Yun smiled, and she felt very good too.

  The two people went to the dinning-table, and had lunch simply.

  "Aunt Fang, you can have a rest at home, and I will buy the food materials for dinner" Michael Huo took up his coat, then he looked at aunt Fang and said.

  Aunt Fang nodded "Okay"

  Then Linda Yun went out together with Michael Huo.

  At the moment when the door was closed, aunt Fang could not help calling Mary Yun’s phone.

  ————

  It was about 4 p.m.

  Michael Huo was busy in the kitchen, meanwhile Linda Yun stood beside and gave directions to him.

  "Okay. You go out first, and I can cook it" said Michael Huo. For fear that the lampblack would touch her body, he stood in front of her with half of his body to shield her while speaking.

  However Linda Yun said, "It doesn’t matter. Please put less sugar since it’s not good for me to suffer from gestational diabetes!"

  "I know, and know it very well in my heart!" while saying this, the man dipped a little bit of sugar with a spoon and put it into the cuisine.

  After quite a while.

  After cooking for a long time, Michael Huo brought three courses and one soup to the table at last.

  "You can have a taste, please" suggested Michael Huo. He wore the apron, with a childlike expression, which was as funny as it could be.

  Seeing his impatience, Linda Yun couldn’t help laughing. And then, she took up the chopstick to pick up a sweet and sour spare rib, and put it into her mouth.

  "How does it taste, how? Is there any progress for my cooking skill?" asked Michael Huo. It seemed that he was going to lean to her side, and his expression looked just as that for expecting to open the lottery.

  Linda Yun didn’t say anything, but to taste it seriously.

  In next second, she picked up another one and ate.

  "What about the taste?" he asked.

  "How do you think?" she laughed, with her cheek being bulging. "And if it isn’t delicious, will I taste it once again?"

  Hearing her words, Michael Huo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled right away. Then, he picked up one spare rib and tasted, and next he twisted his eyebrows and exclaimed "Bah bah bah..... it is so sour!"

  Linda Yun laughed lightly "It’s not bad. I think it tastes good!"

  "Don’t eat. It’s too sour. Maybe I have regarded the soy sauce as the vinegar by mistakes. Come here, and eat other dishes" Michael Huo said.

  On the dinning-table, were the two persons eating intimately.

  Meanwhile, aunt Fang was cleaning the cooking utensils in kitchen, and became absent-minded...

  After the two persons finished the dinner, Michael Huo armed around her and went downstairs for walking.

  "It is so sweltering" complained Yuan Linda. She walked in the community, only feeling fuggy in her chest.

  "It will rain tonight" Michael Huo explained. He had a look on the sky, and added "The sweltering weather will be relieved after it rains"

  Linda Yun nodded and said, "It is a true that a rain brings cool. Fortunately, our baby will be born in spring which is neither hot nor cold."

  Michael Huo laughed," It is our baby who is good at choosing date!"

  Yuan Linda smiled, without saying anything, and greatly strengthened her strength to arm the crook of his arm.

  It was obvious that she was cheerful.

  Michael Huo naturally put his arm around her shoulder and said, " A good new came from my layers those few days that the court date will be advanced. And we have finished collecting evidence. I’m afraid that James Yun will spend his lifetime in prison this time!"

  Linda Yun stopped her pace and looked at him, asking "Really?"

  "Yes! And don’t worry. I will try my best to let my lawyers give him the biggest punishment---death penalty!" the man answered with a calm voice.

  Linda Yun didn’t say a word, and looked at him in surprise.

  Michael Huo laughed, "This end is what he is supposed to have! "

  Linda Yun’ eyes became red at once, and she had the idea in her mind that the best outcome is that he will be sentenced to death, and if won’t, then it is still comforting that he will be put into prison for lifetime.

  At the sight of this, Michael Huo hurriedly armed her more tightly, and said "After he handles this matter well, it will be time to resolve another matter!"

  Linda Yun looked forward at him and asked "What is matter?"

  The man lovingly looked at her with his abstruse eyes which had emitted blurring and rippling lights, and said "Don’t worry. You will know soon!"

  After saying this, he looked upward at the gloomy sky, thinking that he was still lacked of the last evidence.

  Then, everything will be clear.

  "Michael Huo...." Linda Yun lightly called him suddenly.

  "Um?"

  "Can you let those bodyguards go away?"

  Michael Huo was stunned slightly, and was surprised at when she knew it.

  "Don’t look at me in this way. I have known it for a long time. I dislike being monitored by others since this kind of feeling lets me feel very uncomfortable...." said she. She lowered her head and added "This is why I am unwilling to go out. Though I know your purpose is to protect me, the feeling just as that of ...being imprisoned. Can you understand? "

  Michael Huo frowned at once and said "Sorry, I just wanted to protect you better!"

  "I know. However, you are at my side, as well as aunt Fang. And aunt Fang will always accompany on me when I go out occasionally at ordinary times, thus it won’t have anything wrong. Moreover, ....this kind of feeling just as... as that James Yun brought to me before when he sent people to monitor my mother and I "

  Hearing this, Michael Huo felt his heart ached somehow, and he promptly said, "Sorry, I don’t know... Don’t worry, I will let them go away, and I will stay with you at home later "

  Then, he took out his phone and sent a message.

  At the sight of this, Linda Yun felt relieved at last.

  She knew those people disguised very well, and protected her all the time.

  However, this kind of protection gave her heavy pressure, and even let her unwilling to go out.

  The two persons walked for a while, and then went back.

  After washing, Linda Yun went to the bed, followed with Michael Huo.

  Linda Yun read a book by leaning into his arms, meanwhile Hou Michael unexpectedly followed her and seriously read the book she was reading.

  At this moment, the phone of Michael Huo suddenly rang.

  The man took up his phone and looked, then he found it was Mike’s call.

  "Hello...." he answered.

  After several minutes,

  "I have to go out, you can sleep earlier, and I will come back as earlier as I can" the man said with a little bit hurried tone.

  Linda Yun spontaneously sat up and asked "Is there anything wrong?"

  "Nothing is wrong. Don’t read for too long time, and have a rest if you are tired. I will come back soon, okay?" Michael Huo comforted.

  Linda Yun frowned slightly, but she didn’t asked him further, instead she nodded and said "Take it slow on the road!"

  "Okay!" the man said, and quickly took his clothes and went away.

  Without knowing what happened, Linda Yun wore slippers and came to the window. Seeing the man was getting on his car fast, she wrinkled her whole eyebrows.

  At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

  "Come in" she said.

  Aunt Fang opened the door, and looked at her unnaturally. She asked, "Madam, does sir go out?"

  "Yes!He had something to handle. What’s wrong with you aunt Fang? What do you find him for? "

  Aunt Fang quickly shook her head and said "No, nothing. When will sir come back?"

  "Um?" Linda Yun felt a little bit surprised and asked.

  "Oh, don’t misunderstand me. I just want to ask you when sir will come back, and decide whether I should cook two midnight snacks or not." explained aunt Fang hurriedly.

  Linda Yun frowned and answered, "I don’t know either. He didn’t say when he will be back!"

  Aunt Fang rolled her eyeballs and said, "Ah, okay. Then I go out first, and you can call me if necessary!"

  "Okay!" Linda Yun said.

  It was 11:30 p.m.

  "Rumble" came a loud thunder outside. Linda Yun sat up all at once.

  She tilted her head and had a look, finding there was nobody beside her.

  She had a look at the clock, and found that it was nearly 12 p.m, but he still had not come back.

  She didn’t know why she felt a little bit uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

  She picked up her phone, and called.

  Soon the phone was put through from that side.

  "Michael Huo..." she called.

  "Linda, I won’t come back tonight, and you can go to sleep earlier. I will come back early in tomorrow morning." said Michael Huo. Though his voice was some tired, he still spoke as mildly as he could.

  Linda Yun couldn’t help wrinkling her graceful eyebrows, and asked "Is there anything wrong with you? You can tell me!"

  Michael Huo looked at Mike beside who was verifying the last item.

  Once his conjecture was verified, then he could make a 80 % judgement that Susan was die of murder but not accident.

  Moreover, he also had investigated and found that Susan was not the daughter of Cai Jiren.

  Since Cai Jiren had no sperms, he could not give birth to a child.

  And Susan was the girl adopted by Cai Jiren from an orphan asylum twenty years ago.

  Then, who was Susan really?

  After all, the orphan asylum was located in a remote third-tier city.

  Moreover, it was an orphan asylum with small scale and even without qualification.

  Cai Jiren had millions of family property at that time, and he could adopt various children, but why did he adopt such an orphan from countryside?

  He followed the clues, investigated and found that it was Qu Zhirong who was the intermediary and had helped him.

  Why did his mother help him in that way?

  Why did she care about Susan so much?

  And even after Susan was died, why did she still care about Susan’ heart like that?

  Among these, what was it that he had not found?

  "Michael..." seeing that he didn’t say a word, Linda Yun called him once again.

  "I am okay. It shouldn’t take a long time for me to handle the matter well. You can rest earlier, okay? And I will buy breakfast for you when I come back in tomorrow morning, okay?" comforted Michael Huo. He didn’t want to let her worried.

  Mike said that once he had detected another item, then he basically could make a 80 % judgement.

  So, what he should do now was to wait.

  "Okay. And I go to sleep first" answered Linda Yun.

  "Um, go to sleep earlier!" Michael Huo said, and kissed his phone.

  Linda Yun hung off her phone, but she had no sleepiness anyhow.

  The thunder outside became diminished, while it was particularly obvious that

  the bean big rain was pattering against the window.

  "Dong dong dong" there was a knock on the door.

  "Madam, have you fallen asleep?" asked aunt Fang.

  Linda Yun went to door and opened it, asking "Why do you still not go to sleep, aunt Fang?"

  "Ah, I am not sleepy since I have slept for a while this afternoon. Let me cook a midnight snack for you. Ah, will sir...come back? And whether do I need to cook two midnight snacks or not? " she asked Linda Yun, and observed Linda Yun’ expression cautiously.

  Linda Yun shook her head and answered "You needn’t cook two since he will not came back tonight."

  "Will sir not come back tonight?" aunt Fang frowned and confirmed once again, which seemed that she was not sure.

  "Um." Linda Yun answered.

  "Okay, then, then let me cook some noodles for you." aunt Fang said and closed the door.

  Linda Yun didn’t take a notice either. She ate dinner earlier, and felt a little bit hungry indeed at this moment.

  Inside the kitchen, aunt Fang was cooking the noodles soup with old hen, and she became some absent-minded.

  [Once he is not at home, then you can take action. And when you poison her, you can add some sleeping pills, then you can run away. ]

  It seemed that there was still the voice of Mary Yunn haunting around her ears, which let aunt Fang some uneasy.

  After a while, the noodles were cooked well.

  She looked at the noodles in the wok, with an opened paper in her hand, on which there were many white powders.

  She didn’t know what the powder really contain. But she knew that it could not be a good item.

  However...

  "Have you prepared the noodles well, aunt Fang?" Linda Yun opened the door and asked beside it.

  "Ah----it is done well, is done well, and I will bring it to you right away!" answered aunt Fang. She was frightened, and then the powders in her hand fell into the wok straightly.

  Linda Yun went to the sofa, and turned on the TV and began to watch it.

  Looking at the noodles in the wok, aunt Fang was some tremulous.

  ’Ding’ her phone rang again suddenly.

  It was a message sent from her son.

  [Mom, help me! I have been caught. And if you don’t rescue me again, then what you will see is only my corpse. ]

  The message let aunt Fang begin to shiver with all her body.

  Aunt Fang breathed nervously, and she inhaled repeatedly.

  And then, she ruthlessly threw two sleeping pills into the noodles and stirred them with the noodles.

  In next second, she dished up the noodles and brought it to the living room slowly.

  "Madam...madam, the noodles... were prepared well." aunt Fang said with a nervous voice. She put the noodles on the table, with her eyes not daring to look at her.

  Linda Yun sat on an ottoman and watched TV. Smelling the flavour, she suddenly laughed, "Aunt Fang, the noodles you cooked are really goluptious. Eh... " she looked downward at her belly, and then raised her head and shown a bright smile to aunt Fang, saying "He moves, and he has also smelled the flavour!"

  The expression of aunt Fang was not natural. She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and felt contradictory in her mind.

  She has seen many mother-to-be, but never have she seen a mother who care about a baby like this.

  The girl nearly had gave all her love to her baby who grew up little by little...

  She even could image that if she lose her child....

  The outcome might be that she would go mad...

  But, if she was softhearted.

  Then...

  It was her son who would be die!

  "Baby, are you hungry too? Mom begin to eat!" said Linda Yun.

  While aunt Fang was thinking, and after Linda Yun finished her words, she took up chopsticks and picked up the noodles ...
