A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 64

"Why? Tell me why."

"There are no other reasons. All I hope is that you are happy." Donna Xie reached out her work-worn hand to run her fingers through Linda's hair.

With her hands trembling slightly, She looked affectionately at Linda.

Linda recalled that soon after she came back to live with Johnson Xia, he had mentioned that he wanted to thank Donna Xie for raising Linda. But Donna Xie refused to meet him and just accepted his medical aid.

Why?

Was Donna Xie unwilling to meet the Xias? Why's that?

Linda was confused. She felt things had gotten more complicated.

"Fine, I won't force you if you are unwilling to come."

"All right, good girl. You better go home. The rain has stopped. I am going to have a nap. The rain usually comes and goes these days. I am afraid that it will pour again. So hurry home and take a hot bath or you may get a cold."

"OK, mom. Have a good rest."

Maybe it was because she's too weak or too tired. Donna Xie fell asleep soon after lying on bed.

Seeing her foster mother dozing off, Linda tucked her in and tiptoed out.

Bun followed Linda quietly after they walked out of the ward.

The gentle rain came again and a gust of chill wind blew past them. Linda felt cold with her wet clothes.

"Sneeze"

Linda sneezed and rubbed her nose. It was easy to get a cold in such an awful weather.

"My Lady. May I go borrow an umbrella from Dr. Xu? It's raining outside." asked Bun while looking out of the window.

For Bun who had years of training in the army, the drizzle was just a piece of cake. But Linda would get sick after getting caught in the rain again.

Seeing that it was not a heavy rain, Linda shook her head and said, "No. I'm good. The car is over there. We just run to it and drive home quickly."

Gathering her clothes around her, Linda was about to trot over there with Bun.

Hardly did she and Bun start to walk outwards when she saw there were two familiar figures moving toward them.

In the thick rain, the man strode toward the hospital under an umbrella. He's strikingly good-looking and usually kept a straight face that made others feel like he's unfriendly.

Paul followed close at his heels with two bags.

Then Linda caught Charles's soft eyes.

The two men got more and more close.

"What brings you here? I thought you have gone to your office, " said Linda, who was surprised at his arrival.

Charles Mu furled the umbrella and shook the rain off it. He took over the two bags from Paul and walked up to Linda, wrapping his arm around her waist. Then they walked inside together.

"Well? Are you going to come home in your wet clothes?"

"I can change it after getting home."

"There is a private bathroom here. Go take a hot bath and change your wet clothes."

Charles said in a low, yet soothing voice and looked at Linda with calm and insistent eyes.

"How annoying you are!" Athough there rose a stream of warmth in her heart, Linda still protested in a coquettish voice. She took the bag from him which contained some clean clothes of hers.
