"What's wrong?" Waking up from a sound sleep with a start, Linda suddenly felt a hitch in her heart.
Rolling out of the bed, Linda hurriedly put on a coat and followed Bun out the door.
"I don't know. It's Paul. He said that Young Master was ambushed by a sniper on his way back home."
Charles Mu had an array of Mercedes lining up in the garage. Bun got in one of them and took the driving seat.
It had never occurred to Linda that Bun can drive.
When they first met, she came off to Linda as a cute, lovely maid. As it turned out, apart from being a maid and a bodyguard, Bun also knew quite a lot about other things too.
It took them half an hour to reach the hospital.
It was the same hospital to which Charles brought her when she had an injured arm.
Paul was there at the entrance to meet them. Linda asked,"Paul, where is your Young Master?"
"He is in the ward."
"Is he OK?"
"Nothing serious. Young Master dodged in time and the bullet only hit his arm."
"Well, I better go check on him," nodded Linda, who felt much relieved after the initial shock.
When she first learnt that Charles was hit by a sniper, her heart was racing so fast that she felt like it might pound right out of her chest.
She did not know what she was so afraid of.
"Thing is... My Lady."
Linda had already pushed the door open before Paul could finish his words. "Are you dead, Charles Mu?"
Linda regret having said that just as soon as those words left her mouth, As she found out that Charles wasn't alone in the room.
Sitting on Charles's bed was a beautiful girl who were pouring water for him. Meanwhile, Charles was lying in bed with his eyes closed. Linda could not tell if he was sleeping or that he was in a coma.
The girl turned around and cast a look on Linda.
In stark contrast to her exquisite make-up, Linda did not have any make-up on, yet her natural beauty outshone the worldly glamour, which made Amy Qi feel quite jealous.
"You are not allowed in here. Get out!" Wearing a cold, pretty face, Amy Qi pointed her finger with perfectly polished red, sexy nail at the door.
Linda was struck dumb. "Who the hell is she?
What gives her the right to boss me around?" thought Linda.
"What's it to you?" said Linda while standing at the door.
Linda was wearing a plain coat that she randomly grabbed from home, and perhaps that was what prompted Amy Qi to call the security, as she hated to waste a second on a nobody.
"Hello, security? How come we have so many irrelevant personnel walking about in the hospital? This isn't a public park you know! Come here at once and get this one out of here."
While she was making the call, Amy Qi kept glancing at Linda, thinking that this girl must have been a secret admirer of her dear Charles, who climbed over the wall and sneaked into the hospital.
The head of the security soon showed up with his team. However, they were stunned at the sight of Linda. They were caught between a rock and a hard place, as they could not afford to offend neither Linda, the Young Master's fiancee, nor Amy Qi.
That day, they all saw Charles Mu carry Linda into the hospital.
"Well, Lady Qi. Could this be a misunderstanding? I understand that Lady Linda is Young Master's fiancee," said the head of the security, who scratched his head out of embarrassment, bowing and scraping.
Those words came as a thunderstorm to Amy Qi.
