"I, eat too much... I am simply a bit stuffed...Don't make a scene..."
After hearing the explanation, Bun let out a snort of laughter.
In Bun's mind, this Lady was quite interesting. Unlike other Ladies from prestigious families, she was rather easy-going and very... funny...
What Linda did not notice was the fact that Paul had quietly left during the dinner.
After 15 minutes, Paul returned.
He had a see-through plastic packaging bag with him, in which there were several small items.
After swallowing down the last bite, Charles wiped his lips clean in a graceful manner and took over the bag from Paul.
"Well, well. Look at that. Four bugs, three micro-cameras. Your sister is a real piece of work. I will give her that." Charles looked into the bags while stroking his chin. His slender finger knocked at the dinner table, making sporadic sounds.
Linda was rather astonished by Charles's quick move. She was just about to tell him that Lisa had been strolling around in her room, and that she deliberately left the room just to see what Lisa was up to.
How was Linda supposed to know what Lisa had planned.
Lisa's visit was like a Greek gift. She must have had an evil agenda.
When Lisa suggested a tour in her room, Linda knew right there and then that she was trying to plant something there.
The whole thing was all too familiar to Linda. Back when Linda and Charles were on their way to the Mu clan, Linda had once thought about how Walker Chen was able to foresee her schedule and pinpoint her location. It was at the moment that Charles spotted something suspicious - her hair accessory.
It was very strange.
She remembered that Charles looked deep into the hair accessory and pulled off a small, black gadget from within a flower bud embedded in the middle of the accessory.
It was a mini GPS.
What Lisa did this afternoon reminded Linda and Charles of that incident in the car. "It looks like that Walker Chen was having an affair with May Shen. My poor father," said Linda across the table with her chin resting on her hands.
Meanwhile, Bun, being a thoughtful and considerate maid as usual, went out in search of medicine for Linda.
Charles shook his head,"No way. Walker Chen would not kill himself for your step-mother."
"My Lady, I have already checked. I don't believe they were having an affair," added Paul.
Linda opened her mouth, trying to say something.
"Well, I will help you find out the truth about Walker Chen. You can get your mind off it," interrupted Charles, who then stood up and walked up to Linda.
"What?" said Linda vigilantly.
To her surprise, Charles lifted Linda up with a swing of his hands and started striding towards her room,"You should be focusing on your wound instead and see if it has festered."
As a hygiene-conscious girl, Linda took her bath everyday and totally forgot about Dr. Xu's instruction. Her wound had festered after coming in contact with water.
Back in Linda's room, Bun closed the door and left.
Sitting side by side with Linda, Charles gazed at her with a serious look on his face,"Do I have to help you take off your clothes?"
Wrapping herself in the quilt, Linda looked like a frightened rabbit.
"Gosh, what are you doing, Charles Mu? We just finished dinner. What are you going to do to me?"
"I am going to give you anti-inflammatory ointment, or you will soon find this arm to be completely useless, and I, for one, don't want to marry a handicapped woman."
