Can't Let Go novel Chapter 171

Three days later.

Over these three days, Linda Yun was living in suffering pain.

George backed into silence, and he chose not to communicate with anyone.

She couldn’t get any response from him no matter what she said or did.

This was a him that she didn’t like to see.

This was a him that made her suffer.

And there came the psychiatrist.

He told her that George was afraid of oblivion, of deprivation, so he chose silence, indifference and self-isolation.

He needed caring love, love that was genuine and did not hurt.

And this love, was supposed better from... biological parents!

Linda Yun withdrew in silence.

This was like, undoubtedly, giving Duoduo away to them and bowing out.

But...

If she didn’t do this.

Then...

Her George would keep his silence.

The reporters, were still tirelessly watching outside like a ravening tiger’s glaring, and their cameras were like those guns and cannons trying to pass the walls and see through everything inside the house.

“Madam, dinner is ready!” aunt Mu went upstairs.

Linda Yun sat on the bed and watched George. Then, she lowered her eyes and her voice echoed lightly, “are they still downstairs?”

“Yes!”

In the past three days, Richard Qu and Jennifer did not leave here for one step.

Instead, the four parents were all sent away by Michael Huo, back to the villa.

Only, in the past three days, Jennifer and Richard Qu were never invited upstairs.

They too understood that George was mentally hurt and went into self-isolation.

They wanted to visit, only fearing that George got over excited and scared, so they chose to stay calm.

But this staying calm made every second of their three days of being downstairs like a year.

“I see, you can go down first!” Linda Yun’s voice lightly echoed.

Seeing this, aunt Mu just had to leave first.

And right after she had left, the door was knocked again.

And there came in some one.

Linda Yun couldn’t help but look up at this person, and this time she smiled bitterly, “brother George...”

George Mo walked before her, watched the still reticent George sitting on bed, voice quite upset, “let’s uh, let’s go back to Switzerland! Go back to Switzerland to find the best psychiatrist!”

Linda Yun reached out and stroke George’s head, and abruptly said in a choked voice, “brother George, I understand that you are worrying about me, and concerned about me but...” She looked to her, tears falling uncontrollably, “I resolve to let it go!”

“What?” George Mo was astonished, “you are letting go? Let go of George?”

Linda Yun’s tears got even more fierce, “I’m not letting go of Duoduo, I’m choosing to...treat George, the doctor said, he need love from his parents, and I believe that Jennifer and Richard Qu would devote their whole life to loving him.”

“What about you,” George Mo astonished, “George means so much to you, are you willing to?”

Linda Yun watched George with a smile, bitterly smiled, “for George, I would do anything, as long as it makes him happy, to make him happy, I would do anything, really...anything, anything I would do...”

George Mo looked at the silent George, and at Linda Yun overwhelmed with tears, he approached and heart-brokenly, held her into his arms.

Linda Yun held him and cried endlessly in return.

These three days, she lived every moment like eternity.

These three days, she kept awake all through the night.

But it was also the sleeplessness got her up in the middle of the night, and found George Mo...

The extremity in George Mo was causing him to injure himself, and he was punishing himself for not protecting her well.

Not protecting George well.

It hurt her.

George’s silence.

It hurt her even more.

The self-accusation in brother George.

However, all these had nothing to do with these two innocent people.

She wanted to protect George.

She also wanted to protect brother George.

Yet she couldn’t manage these two tasks at once.

But she knew, Richard Qu and Jennifer were George’s real parents, and they would definitely run out of every bit of their love to make up for George.

And were bound to help George of the shadows.

And George Mo...

Had only her...

————

The next time she went down, Linda Yun was holding George.

This was the first time that Linda Yun had ever took George downstairs in three days.

And Richard Qu and Jennifer at the dinning table rose to their feet at the sight at once.

Michael Huo had just returned from outside, and he was quite surprised at this scene.

“George, this is your mother, and this is your father, and they are the persons who gave birth to you, they are the dearest and the closest!” Linda Yun went before them, stared at George in her arms and explained.

Which struck Richard Qu and Jennifer dumb.

“Linda...”

Linda Yun gazed at them and held back tears, “the doctor was right, no matter how perfect a company I keep him, it can’t compare with their parents’, he is so little and he still needs care from his real parents, he still needs devotional accompany, this accompany in blood is what I can’t offer, so...I’m willing to return George to you and only I wish that you could take George abroad, to somewhere without rumors, to reopen his beautiful heart!”

Jennifer burst into tears at this, and she bit her trembling lips and lost her words.

“Linda...” Richard Qu choked with tears too and he fell to his knees.

“I, Richard Qu, owe you, I will spare no effort to repay any time at your call for the rest of my life!” he kowtowed deeply to her presently.

Jennifer Huo followed and looked at her through the blur of tears, “Linda, I’m sorry, I made a mistake and failed your trust...Thank you, thank you for returning George...thank you...my whole life, I will spend my whole life devoting myself to him, accompany him 24/7, keep him, Linda, I won’t let him forget you, we can go abroad together, we can take care of him together.”

For this once, Jennifer Huo figured it out.

She shouldn’t have been so selfish.

This kid was not easy himself, brought up by Linda Yun, with all the feeding and diaper changing, in a most unimaginable hardship.

She was like a thief, stealing a fruit that had been cultivated and matured.

“Yes, Linda, come with us, let’s help George!” Richard Qu added.
