A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 405

After Adam finished speaking, he walked away.

Not long after he left, Lisa got a phone call. It wasn't from Adam this time. It was from Robert.

"Where have you been, my dear? What's taking you so long? Are you not feeling well?" Robert said in a soft voice at the other end of the line.

"No, I'm fine. I'm coming back now, " answered Lisa.

Before Robert's call, she had been sitting on the floor, almost crying her eyes out. Robert wondered why she had been gone for so long, so he called her to make sure that she was okay. Lisa managed to stand up from the floor. Her hand as well as her chest were very painful. There was a big, red handprint on her face.

Adam had hit her too hard. Wasn't he afraid that Robert would notice the wound or the handprint?

Robert saw the red handprint on Lisa's face right after she walked back to the waiting room. Her forehead was also bleeding. Although the wound had been cleaned up, it was evident on her face. Robert panicked. He tried to find out what had happened to her. Lisa said that she went to the bathroom. What had happened? Why was there a red handprint on her face?

Robert held Lisa in his arms right away. He placed his hand on her cheek and said, "What happened to you?"

"The bathroom floor was wet, so I slipped and hit my head against the sink by accident. It's not a big deal, " Lisa shook her head and said.

"How clumsy of you. You must be more careful next time!" Robert said worriedly.

Just then, an attendant opened the VIP room's door. Smiling at them, he said, "Mr. Huo, Miss. Xia, the airline has announced the departure of your flight. Boarding will be closed in 15 minutes. Please have your belongings and tickets ready and go to the boarding gate."

"Let's go, Linda.

Our flight is now ready for boarding. We should get on the plane."

"I'm not feeling very well now, Robert. Can we go next time? Let's go home now, shall we? I don't want to leave like this."

Robert understood what she had meant. Leaving everything behind was very hard for her. After all, she had a very close relationship with Charles before. The reason she wasn't feeling well might have something to do with him. Robert didn't think about it any further since he loved Linda so much. He simply said, "Okay, let's go home. We will have our trip some other time. I will go anywhere with you."

"I love you, Robert, " said Lisa. She didn't know what else to say. She knew that Robert treated her very well, but she also knew that the one Robert loved was Linda Xia, not Lisa Xia.

On their way back, Lisa hesitated for a long time, but then she spoke eventually, "Robert, if I have lied to you about something, what would you do?"

Robert was shocked at the question. He wondered if Linda had hidden something from him, Or if she had regretted leaving Charles for him. Robert thought that Linda might still love Charles. He knew well that if Charles hadn't left her in the first place, he wouldn't have had the chance to be with Linda.

Robert felt bitterness in his heart. Was he just a rebound guy?

"Linda, do you want to go back to Charles?" Robert asked in response.

Lisa shook her head at once and said, "No, I don't. I've never thought of getting back with Charles. You must believe me. You are the one I love now."

Robert's face softened by what Lisa had said.

"So what did you mean by that? Have you lied to me?"

"Yes. Who is it?"

"I'm a doctor from XH Hospital. Are you Adam Huo's brother?"

"Yes, I am."

"Your brother is in our hospital now. He was sent here by strangers on the street. It seemed that he blacked out. We found his phone with him, and we found your number on his contacts marked as 'brother', so we gave you a call."

"Oh my god! Is he okay?"

"We're not sure yet. We hope you can come to the hospital as soon as possible."

Lisa was standing close, next to Robert, so she heard the conversation clearly. As expected, Adam had thought it through. It seemed that Adam had come up with something to get Robert away from her.

She would never believe that Adam really passed out. He was kicking her so hard a while ago. Because of it, she felt dizzy, almost passing out just then in the bathroom. There was no way that he was sick now.

"Is there something that happened to Adam? You don't need to worry about me. I can go to the wedding by myself. You should go take good care of Adam now, " Lisa said cautiously.

Now, Robert was caught in a dilemma. Today was very important for Linda and him.

He wanted to go to the wedding and confront Charles with Linda, but his brother was in the hospital now. He loved Adam dearly. He got very worried when he knew that Adam blacked out. He wanted to go the hospital right away to find out what illness Adam was suffering from since the doctor didn't say much on the phone.
