Can't Let Go novel Chapter 112

  When she dragged her tried body back to the Huo house, it was already 1:00 a.m.

  "Don’t be childish. Come back home. And we will go there to bury Uncle Meng tomorrow!"

  "Girl, you’re already married. It’s improper to stay out late. Be reasonable!"

  Linda Yun’s head ached like crazy. She didn’t make any response to those maids’ greeting to her.

  She walked to the third floor and pushed the door open.

  She then turned around and closed it quietly.

  However, the dark room was lightened up instantly.

  She subconsciously lifted her hand before her eyes to block some strong light.

  But a few seconds later, she put them down and walked in.

  She walked through the bedroom lounge and came directly into the room. The man was dressed up and was sitting by the window, gazing at her.

  Cigarette butts were overflowing the ashtray on the table beside him.

  And the room was full of the smell of tobacco.

  Linda Yun frowned, which was not sensed by the man. She turned around and headed to the bathroom as if he was not there.

  Michael Huo stood up and opened the window to change air.

  After a while,

  She walked out of the bathroom.

  Then she came to the bed without saying a word, got into the bed and pulled the quilt on herself.

  She did this process mechanically like she was a robot.

  The man’s deep dark eyes were fixing on her.

  A moment later, he sighed and came to the bed, "Sorry, it was my fault not having taken your feelings toward Steven Meng into consideration!"

  Linda Yun was lying on her side with her back toward the man. She closed her eyes and didn’t move.

  "I guess you don’t wanna sleep with me tonight..."

  The man stood up and walked toward the door. But he was stuck half way as if something occurred to him.

  Then he bent over to the bedside cupboard, pulled the drawer, took out a thing and placed it before her. He said in a husky voice, "As for this incident, I’ll investigate it clear for you. And... I don’t wanna see you cry anymore. I assume you Uncle Meng wouldn’t like that, too."

  After finishing his words, the man left the room.

  When the door was shut,

  She opened her eyes.

  On her bedside cupboard, there lied a medical ice eye mask...

  At the hospital,

  "Mary..."

  Qu Zhirong tried to call her.

  Mary Yun fell into an oddly negative mood ever since she’d been disfigured. She refused to eat, to drink or to have the treatment.

  Even if both Liangchen Gu and James Yun came to console her, she was like a corpse still with no response.

  On seeing this, Qu Zhirong didn’t feel very well that she lost her appetite.

  At this moment, David Huo had already fallen asleep. And Liangchen Gu and James Yun went back home.

  So Qu Zhirong came to Mary’s ward in her wheelchair.

  As expected, Mary Yun was not asleep. She was tightly holding her knees, facing a bowl of cooled porridge.

  Qu Zhirong frowned, rolled her wheelchair toward and touched her.

  Mary Yun then came to herself, she looked at Qu and squeezed some smile, "Aunt..."

  Hearing this, Qu’s heart wrenched madly that her eyes turned reddened with tears, "Mary, are you calling me... aunt?"

  Mary Yun lowered her head without speaking a word.

  "Why? Why did you save me at that time? You could have escaped!" This was the ultimate doubt under the bottom of her heart.

  Back then her leg was stuck because of a rolled over car.

  Mary Yun did crawl out but she returned into the vehicle for her.

  Why?

  Mary Yun looked up at Qu Zhirong with tearful eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I don’t know. I wanna go, I really wanna go, but... but here..." She pointed at her heart, "It hurt like crazy. It told me I must save you. No matter what would happen, I couldn’t leave you behind, so..."

  "It’s Susan... It’s Susan..." Instantly, Qu Zhirong burst into tears.

  It must be Susan that required her alive!

  Mary Yun lowered her eyes and sobbed, "Maybe". Then she uttered with some tears, "Aunt, you just hate me. For I didn’t save myself. But, but I, I haven’t met and fallen in love with Michael Huo before that!"

  Qu Zhirong looked at her in doubt.

  "You see, I and Susan used to be great friends. I knew Susan was Michael’s girlfriend. How could I manage to play these tricks. I wished them a happy life forever. But I admired her luck and I also wanted a boyfriend..."

  Then she started to sob, "After that accident, her heart was implanted in my chest so I truly fell in love with Michael Huo. But I swear I never did anything cheating on him from that moment... Why, why he said these comments about me?"

  "Mary..."

  Mary Yun grabbed Qu’s hand and said, "I don’t care what he said about me. Yes, I did these. But, but how could he doubt Susan? I felt I have inherited everything from her after I had her heart. I love him very much, but..." She gradually released her hand, "Maybe I’m just like Susan--never have the chance to marry him."

  Her tears dropped onto the sheet.

  Mary Yun smiled faintly, "Now I’m disfigured like this. I just cannot get close to him with this ugly face." Then she took a deep breathe, "But I’m gonna be fine. As long as aunt wasn’t injured, it is enough. Otherwise me and Susan will be blamed and feel great pain!"

  "Mary..." Qu Zhirong was holding her hand and couldn’t stop weeping.

  "Aunt, you may leave. You don’t have to feel sorry. After all, Susan loved you the most. And I must do something for her as her heart was beating in my chest." Then she was about to lie down.

  "Mary!" Suddenly, Qu Zhirong clutched her hand and claimed, "You didn’t lose and you won’t!"

  Staring at her, Mary Yun was confused.

  "Michael did love Susan. Though he doesn’t, he does owe her. She saved his life five years ago. Now that you’ve been disfigured, why not having a cosmetic surgery and put on her face?"

  Mary Yun was completely stuck, "I, I have Susan’s... face by a cosmetic surgery?"

  Qu Zhirong nodded, "You’re bound to win him back as you have both her face and her heart. Susan shared a relationship with him for 20 years! How could this strong bond be changed by merely someone he has only known for one year? What’s more, they grew up together!"

  Mary Yun was overwhelmingly shocked by her words.

  Why it didn’t occur to her?
