A month and a half was neither too long, nor too short. It was now much better than not knowing when Lord Nalan would ever wake up.
A month and a half was definitely worth the wait.
Linda nodded and said thanks to Anna. To find a doctor who specialized in this field, Anna exploited her connections. She even asked a lot of her former teachers and schoolmates in her college in America. She went through all this effort, just to save Lord Nalan.
When Linda's face was disfigured before, it was Anna who found a professional team to restore her original appearance. Linda would have had ugly scars if it weren't for Anna's help. Thinking of this, Linda unconsciously touched her face.
The feeling of the knife on her skin was still vivid in her mind. That freak, Amy, even got a big mirror in front of Linda to let her see how Amy was cutting her over and over again. Linda almost broke down at that time.
Fortuanately, she got through it.
Linda was with Anna at that depressing time. She enlightening Linda, treating her face and her body with the best medical techniques. Anna made sure that Linda did not have to suffer long.
Charles looked at Linda as he noticed Linda's move. His eyes became dim, and he grabbed Linda's hand as he said, "I'm sorry, honey!"
He had been feeling guilty for a long time, unable to get rid of his guilty conscience of not having been able to protect Linda.
If it hadn't been for Lord Nalan who saved Linda, he would have never seen Linda again.
He did not know how he would feel if he had lost Linda. The only thing he knew was that he would definitely kill Lisa because she was involved in the evil scheme.
Lisa had replaced Linda since the day she had disappeared, so no one was able to find out that the real Linda was gone.
"Don't apologize. It was also because of my carelessness. I was too stubborn, and I went to that winter camp despite of your advice, so others took advantage of it."
Linda shook her head and smiled.
Charles's face looked cold and frosty. He looked at Linda with his deep and melancholic eyes, staring at her for a long while.
"What? Did I get fatter? Why are you staring at me?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Linda joked around. She knew that Charles blamed himself a lot, but she didn't think it was his fault. He had done his best. The shrewdness of the enemy was the only one to blame.
"No, you didn't!"
Charles was stunned by Linda's question, and then he realized that it was only a joke, so he smiled in return.
A lot of things had happened. Time quickly went by. The next day, at Rosy's Garden, Nalan clan's house.
Rosy was reading the newspaper, and she had been doing so for a long while. However, she couldn't find any news about Lord Nalan.
"What happened? Didn't all those reporters rush to the Mu's villa yesterday to cause troubles for Linda? As far as I know, Linda didn't even show her face to them. Did the press just let it go?" Rosy was very depressed. She had deliberately disclosed the news to the paparazzi. They all got very excited, so they rushed to the Mu's villa to interview Linda personally.
Jessie took a sip from her cup of tea and frowned while looking at the news reports. She turned the leaves of the newspaper but did not find anything, either.
"Looks like someone did not want the news released, " Jessie said it in an unhappy tone.
