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.
