Can't Let Go novel Chapter 174

“Crack!”

A loud crash of thunder broke the silence of the night.

“Ah...” Linda Yun suddenly woke up with a scream.

“What’s wrong?” asked Michael in a sleepy voice. He woke up as soon as he heard the scream.

Sitting on the bed, Linda Yun realized that it was raining heavily outside. The rain s hit the window, making slight crackling sounds.

She didn’t say a word, instead, she just stared at the window. It seemed that she was thinking about something deeply in her mind.

“Did you have a nightmare just now?” Michael held Linda Yun in his arms to comfort her.

The sweat on her forehead had already made her hair wet. She slowly turned around and looked at him, eyes filled with fear and worry.

“What happened?”

Seeing her expression made Michael frown.

Linda Yun didn’t know why she could be like this. She quickly threw back the covers and said, “I’ll go to find George!”

Michael immediately got up and got in front of her saying, “What’s wrong? Didn’t we agree to pick him up tomorrow?

Linda Yun didn’t reply him. She was about to open the door without wearing shoes.

Michael walked to her and grabbed her wrist, “Look at me. Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Linda Yun stopped and slowly turned her sight to him, frowning. Her expression showed that she was frightened. Then she opened her mouth and said, “I, I just dreamed that...”

Tears fell down from her eyes before she could finish saying her words.

“Linda, I will go now. Take care of yourself and live a happy life!”

The voice was so clear.

It’s more like someone was whispering to her ears.

And that was...

George Mo’s voice.

“Why do you cry?” Michael immediately took her into his arms and persuaded, “Don’t cry. You had a nightmare just now, right? Don’t worry. I’m here with you! Don’t be afraid!”

Linda Yun kept sobbing without saying a word, holding his waist tightly, her body trembled violently.

Frightening!

That dream was so frightening!

“That’s okay. George Mo is all right now. We will go to pick him up tomorrow morning.” He slightly petted her shaking back and said, “That’s okay. Don’t worry.”

Linda Yun didn’t reply as she still couldn’t calm herself down, tears felling down uncontrollably.

’Yes, it’s just a nightmare.

It must be a nightmare!’ thought Linda Yun in her mind.

“Okay, don’t be afraid now. Sleep in my arms now and let’s pick him up tomorrow morning. It’s raining heavily now, so we can’t go out now. And your brother may be sleeping now!” said Michael, holding Linda Yun by her hand and took her to the bed.

Linda Yun silently followed him and went back to the bed.

Michael smiled, held Linda Yun in his arms and kissed her forehead.

“Alright, sleep now and I’ll be at your side!”

He knew that too many things had happened these days.

Linda Yun must be stressful so she had nightmare now.

Linda Yun nodded, then lied on his chest and closed her eyes. It was hard for her to fall asleep now.

Meanwhile, Michael’s phone flashed.

He reached out to get the phone and opened it.

What he saw made his body tightened in a short time.

George Mo killed himself.

Then a message came.

“President Huo, George Mo told us he wanted to have a rest and asked us to go away. After that, he knocked out a doctor when the doctor came to check. He changed into the doctor’s uniform, put on the mask and finally escaped. It was already late when we realized what happened and went to find him with the information about his position...”

Michael got astonished, staring at his phone for a while. His mind was totally blank.

After a long time, he averted his eyes to the woman who was sleeping beside him.

Linda Yun was quietly lying on his chest. She had not calm herself down and still kept frowning.

Michael’s eyes were filled with panic and uneasiness.

If...

If she got the news about her brother’s death...

Then she would...

Michael dared not to imagine what would happen...

Next morning.

Aunt Mu had prepared breakfast form them when Linda Yun got up.

Sitting in the living room, Michael had broken the Internet as he was afraid that Linda Yun would get the news.

Linda Yun quickly got downstairs. She came to the kitchen and said to Aunt Mu, “Aunt Mu, please make some chicken soup for George. He will be back today.”

Aunt Mu looked at Linda Yun, then she quickly looked down and wiped off the table unnaturally saying in a blurred voice, “Oh, okay, okay...”

Then Linda Yun walked to the dinning-table and looked at Michael saying, “Let’s go to the hospital now. George must have been waiting for a long time!”

Michael’s hand which held a spoon obviously paused. Then he looked up to her as his pupils slightly narrowed.

“Can, can you come to the Z City with me?”

Linda Yun frowned asking, “Go to the Z City?”

“Yes. I have a very important contract to sign there. But I don’t feel well today. Can you go with me?” Michael stared at her with his unnatural sight.

Linda Yun bit her lips.

Michael didn’t force her. He was waiting for her answer.

“Okay, but I should call George to tell him that we will go to pick him up later!” Then she took out her phone to call him.

Seeing that, Michael immediately stopped her and said, “I called him this morning!”

Linda Yun paused and then smiled, “Really? You did it so early. Well, when will we set out?”

“Right now!” Michael stood up and straightly stepped to her, holding her hand and taking her out.

Linda Yun got mixed up. “I haven’t changed my clothes. Isn’t it too casual? After all, you are going to sign a contract. It’s about business affairs.”

“It’s okay!” answered Michael without turning his head back. Then he got into the car with her.

Sitting in the car, Linda Yun took out her phone and was intended to turn it on. But before she could do that, her phone was taken away by Michael.

Linda Yun got speechless with his behaviour.
