A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 206 Richard's Promise

It had been a long time since the name Sherry Nalan was brought up. It seemed that people had

unknowingly forgotten about her and her story.

But deep down, the story was still clear and fresh in her mind. After May Shen was jailed, Lisa

disappeared. The two events seemed to have a connection. The Xia clan almost fell apart as a result.

Johnson Xia sometimes spoke of Sherry to Linda. But truth be told, she had no memory of her because

when she was born, she was separated from Sherry until she grew up.

Some would say that Sherry died of a broken heart because of this. Because she lost the me.

Her mouth twitched as thoughts run though her mind. This made her face ache so much that she

subconsciously caressed her cheeks heavily bandaged by thick gauze.

Richard looked at Linda with a pang of sadness enveloping his heart. He sat by the bed and clenched

her hand. "You must have gone through so much, my dear. I promise when you return to our family, no

one will ever hurt you."

"Thank you. But when will I recover? Soon?"

Linda asked seriously, retreating her hands from his.

"Tell me the truth. Is my face ever going to recover to the way it was?"

Richard was caught in a rock and a hard place. There was no way he couldn't tell her the truth. "Yes,

Linda, you had over ten knife wounds on your face. And every wound was deep, so it's difficult to tell.

The doctors aren't sure if the wounds will heal properly. They aren't sure that you will be able to retain

your facial structure the way it was."

"Difficult? What do you mean? If there aren't sure, does that mean that there is still hope?

I don't care about how I will look, just whether I will be able to live..."

Linda's hands were trembling. Never before had she been so helpless.

Linda had never done anything evil to anybody. Why would Amy do this to her?

What would she benefit from doing this? It was clear that Charles had never loved Amy.

"Linda, relax! Your physical health is stable. However, your face... I have used my connections to find

the best foreign plastic surgeon for you. But I have to be honest with you. It's almost impossible to fix

you to how you were... beautiful... divine... But we can make it better than it is now."

"Oh okay... What do you mean? Don't I look like Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty?" Linda tried to

make a joke, and they both laughed. But soon after, a solemn sadness fell over the room. Linda was

lost in silence as her mind wandered.

"Linda, please don't be so sad. No matter where you are, the Nalan clan's door are always open for

you. You have my word." Narang tried to assure her.

"Thank you Grandpa, I appreciate it." Linda was appreciative, but there was a nagging question she

had to ask. "How did you find me?"

Linda vaguely remembered that she had been thrown into the frozen river before she fainted and then

lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she was here.

"I received a secret letter the other day, which said that some members of the Mu clan were planning to

kill you. I didn't believe it at first but I feared for your safety. So, I dispatched some of my men to check

the supposed dock the letter mentioned that you would be killed. Thankfully, one of my men saw you

being thrown into the river... " Narang trailed off as his voice hitched.

Linda reached out to grab his hand. Richard looked at her and gave a weak smile, "So they rescued

you. You hadn't been in the water long, so you were able to breath after a few seconds of CPR. They

called me and brought you here." He finished, spewing out a sigh of relief.

"Wait, the Mu clan didn't come after me. It was Amy, the eldest daughter of Qi clan."

Richard nodded, "I indeed had some doubts. I had done some investigation and knew that Charles was

good to you. Since it was done by Qi clan, it all makes sense now. My intelligence said that the eldest

daughter of Qi clan Amy had feelings for Charles and they knew each other since childhood. She

dreamed to marry him for so long."

"Yes, she did. I had known about her affections towards Charles but I didn't think that she could go this

far." Linda clenched her fists in anger.

At this moment, she hated Amy for not only trying to kill her but ruining her face.

Murder for love?

Linda might have understood her actions if Charles loved Amy, but that wasn't the case.

"Amy is insane. I think she has psychological issues. How can she think that Charles would love and

accept her after she killed me? That's a delusional thinking especially since he doesn't even like her...

"Linda was getting visibly upset.

"Linda, there's no point of getting upset over this. You should focus on recuperation. I will do all I can to

make sure that your face is fixed. I can't promise you that it will be healed as it was but I'll try my best to

find the best, okay?"

Richard moved her with his words.

All of sudden, Linda remembered. She reached out to touch her belly. She was pregnant and she

wasn't sure if she had had a miscarriage.

Was her child still alive? She looked up at Nalan and almost instinctively, he responded to her internal

torment.

"You can rest easy. The baby is alive and kicking. My grandson is a fighter. I will... no, I must protect All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

him in every possible way."

"A son... Oh, Thank you, grandpa." Linda hadn't known the sex of the baby, but she was glad to hear it

was a boy. Whether a boy or a girl, she didn't care. As long as they were healthy and alive.

Rubbing at her belly, she murmured to her unborn son, "Just like your grandpa, I promise not to let

anything happen to you. Mama loves you." Tears welled up in her eyes. She hated Amy even more for

putting her in this position.
