Linda understood Bun's worries. Brian's missions were always dangerous because most of them were confidential and related to national interests. Brian had to risk his life in order to fulfill his duty to his country. Bun was worried that Brian might get wounded or even lose his life. She was scared that it might be their last farewell.
"Two months will be over soon. But, My Lady, Bun and Brian have just gotten married. They are still in their honeymoon phase. It is normal for them to not be able to live apart from each other, " Anna teased.
Linda then held Bun's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry. Brian is a very strong and clever man. He would surely come back in one piece. Just stay here with me in the next two months. My babies would be born by then. When Brian comes back, he will be my twins' sworn father."
Bun thought that Linda was right. Since Brian had gone on a mission, she could stay with Linda and ensure her safety in the last two months of her pregnancy.
As the Lady of the Mu clan, Linda was always in a dangerous position. There were always people who would have evil intentions against Linda. The following two months would be a crucial period for her, so Bun felt that she was obligated to protect Linda well.
"My Lady, your babies would be born soon. Let me protect you in these two months!" Bun said with a smile.
Linda nodded in agreement. Indeed, she felt much more relieved if Bun stayed by her side. After all, Ron and the other bodyguards were all men, so it was inconvenient for them to protect a pregnant woman in some respects.
"Oh, right. I have to visit the Nalan clan's house tonight. Bun, could you and Anna come with me? I want to stay there for a couple of days to keep my grandfather company, " said Linda.
"Yes, My Lady, " said Bun.
Bun had just gotten back from her honeymoon, so she went out to unpack her luggage first. They were all going to set out at about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Linda felt sleepy after she had finished her congee, so she decided to take a nap.
In the Huo clan's villa
Lisa Xia felt like there was a swarm of ants biting and crawling all over her body.
It was very tormenting for Lisa to get rid of her drug addiction, but on top of that, she had to make sure that she wouldn't get caught by Robert Huo. Lisa realized that these two months were the most unforgettable days in her life. It was even more tormenting than the days when she was under Adam Huo's torture.
But Lisa had no choice but to endure it. Every time she thought of surrendering to her drug addiction, she would think about Robert and the happiness of having a healthy baby with him. With this on her mind, Lisa was motivated and determined to battle her vice. She clenched her teeth and tried to manage with all her efforts to carry on destroying her drug habits.
Time slowly passed by, and it had been already two months since Lisa had started to fight against her drug addiction. During these two months, Robert felt his heart ache for Lisa. He didn't know why Lisa was getting thinner and weaker day by day. Her face had been looking pale, too.
Robert wanted to take Lisa to the hospital and have her go through a thorough check-up. But Lisa refused to do so.
Lisa simply explained that she was just feeling tired and frustrated because of the hot summer weather. She told Robert that she would be fine when summer was over.
"Lisa, come on. You have to hold on. Things will be over soon, and you are going to win. If you persist for one more month, you will completely get rid of your drug addiction and be sober, " Vincent Zhou said to Lisa.
The drug withdrawal symptoms were attacking Lisa again. She lay prone on the floor, wearing an anguished face. Vincent felt so sad to see her like this. But he could do nothing to help her. Lisa could only depend on herself.
