A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 224

Nelson pulled himself together without saying a single word. He did not once look at the girl he was carrying in his arms.

Linda thought about how destiny played a magical role in bringing two people together.

A perfect way to begin a new relationship! In most cases.

Linda had a good feeling about Nelson and Lily. It was the way they affectionately looked at each other.

"Lily, do you live in the dormitory?" inquired Linda. "We could drop you back to school on our way back." Linda smiled as she asked Lily.

"That won't be necessary My Lady, " replied Lily. "The dormitory is closed during winter break. So I'm living in another locality temporarily." Lily smiled.

"Alright! In that case, we will drop you at your temporary locality."

Once they got into the car, Nelson followed the directions Lily gave him.

It was a quick thirty minutes drive.

It so turned out that Lily was living in a slum area. It was tiny and packed. The house looked shabby from the outside.

When she saw where Lily was living, Linda remembered her childhood. It was not one of the best places for a single young girl. She did not say anything. On the other hand, Nelson was shocked. He could not help but ask, "Miss Jiang, do you live here?"

Once Lily saw the look on Nelson's face, she giggled and said "It's falling apart, right? Ha-ha. Well, what choice do I have? I do not have a family anymore except for a few distant relatives who don't seem to care. I'm only a student. I can afford this cheap place. It costs a few hundred to live here. Besides, its only during my winter break."

Lily gave Nelson the brightest smile. But Linda could see that beneath those beautiful eyes there was sadness.

After exchanging goodbyes, Lily picked up her backpack and began to walk away.

Linda called out, "Lily, what's your mobile number? I have a good feeling we will be good friends." Linda spoke from the car.

The feeling came out of nowhere. Given the similarities between the two women, Linda felt they would get along, especially since Lily was a humble girl with a good character.

Lily waved to Linda's surprise. "You are Lady Nalan from the Nalan clan. I'm just an ordinary student. We will probably not even cross paths again."

"Why do you think so?" asked Linda in return. "I lived in a place exactly like this in my childhood, and I completely understand your feelings. Nel didn't mean to hurt you whatsoever. We can't blame him just because he's not familiar with our way of living, right?"

Linda made a final attempt to befriend Lily.

Nelson's expressions and doubts must have upset Lily's feelings.

Lily had never lived a comfortable life. She was in school, with no family to fall back on. She had learned how to survive. Linda immediately knew that someone like Lily would do very well for herself.

Linda had just discovered that Lily had lost her parents at a very young age. It would be normal for such a child to develop many psychological issues such as carelessness or being extroverted. The child might even develop an inferiority complex and feel hurt by peoples remarks, however unintentional.

Thus, it would seem very normal for a girl like Lily to allow her wounds to heal in a safe place, like her home.

Lily was definitely on this path.

Nelson had indeed made an honest mistake. He had never been to a slum because as far as he was concerned, an international metropolis like SH City only had well-developed residential and business areas. Nelson knew right away that he had been wrong. But, he had never seen this part of the city and it had taken him by surprise. He had imagined that a cosmopolitan city like SH

Would have only had brightly lit skyscrapers and developed CBDs.

To him, slums existed outside normal city limits, where the rich could not see them.

Nelson had lost his parents at a young age as well. However, he did not have to survive on his own as he had been adopted by Lord Nalan and had been raised as the Lord's grandchild. Nelson had grown up in better circumstances.
