"No. But there are several libraries in the neighborhood. My Lady, you can tell me the books that you want. I'll bring the books."
"That's great! But I'd like to go with you. I haven't been out for long. I would love to take a stroll and get some fresh air."
Linda had been staying in the hospital for a month. She felt bored. She was excited to have an opportunity to go out. Reading in the library was Linda's sole amusement in her school days. She gradually developed an affection towards library. She liked the atmosphere of a library very much. Everyone would be reading quietly.
"Yes, My Lady. I'll take you there by the car. Please wait for a second."
Nelson said as he slightly bowed to Linda.
After Nelson left, Linda walked to a stone and sat on it. She felt a little tired. She just looked around. She found the garden beautiful with many varieties of plants and blooming flowers. There were vibrant fishes having fun with each other in a nearby pond. Linda felt positively hopeful: "My face will gradually recover. And everything will be OK soon.
If my face won't recover, then I will take it as a lesson to become stronger..." Linda thought.
Linda was enjoying the long-lost internal peace, as the fragrance of plum blossoms pervaded the air. Then she vaguely heard someone talking nearby.
"Devin, I am so angry. I fancied a Channel purse in a mall yesterday. But father didn't allow me to buy it no matter how I begged him!"
"Rosy, you have already bought six purses and seven pairs of shoes this month. That's why father said "no"."
"Humph, our family is affluent enough to afford several luxury purses. Do you know that the purse is a limited edition one with only five in total all over the world! It's worth the price! What's more, as the Lady of the Nalan clan, if I go out with a limited edition purse, my friends will think Nalan clan is rich and powerful, won't they?"
That female voice was so bombastic that Linda couldn't help getting goose bumps.
Then Linda heard a sneer, "Yes. Whatever you say is right. But I am worried that no man would dare to marry a woman as extravagant as you are. Ha...ha...ha..."
"Devin, How could you say that! No man is unwilling to marry a woman as beautiful as me. Humph!"
"Yes. Our Rosy is beautiful. There are only a few men deserve you throughout the whole SH. So you'd better hurry up to find one or they will be all get hooked by other women."
At the man's words, the woman sounded disappointed, "I know. You know what? I like the Young Master of the Mu clan. I was planning to ask father to discuss this with Lord Mu. But the Mu clan released Charles's engagement with another woman unexpectedly the other day. How disappointing it is! What's ridiculous is that the bride is Lady Xia who had been missing from Xia clan for a dozen years!"
"She is back? That's good! After all she is our aunt's daughter." The man said.
"Humph... Our aunt died many years ago. I even forgot how she looked like. I only remember father saying that grandpa had a preference for the aunt. He doted her very much and presented anything she wanted. But he was strict to father..."? said the woman sourly.
"All right Rosy. Stop quibbling with the dead. I remember our aunt's daughter was called Linda, wasn't she? Maybe Young Master Mu is just playing with Linda. He will dump her soon after he is tired of her, " said the man.
"You are right. After all, someone as rich and powerful as Young Master Mu would never marry a woman who grew up in a slum."
"Yeah. My sister is the only one who makes a perfect match for Young Master Mu."
"Are these two the grandchildren of Lord Nalan?
How could they speak ill of others like that." Linda thought.
