Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

A black fountain pen was dropped onto the document with a soft clink.

Linda stared at the pen absentmindedly before she picked it up. With trembling hands, she removed the cap and signed her name on the divorce papers.

With all her remaining strength, she threw the document toward William.

A single tear fell onto the diagnostic report in her hand, and it spread like smudged ink on paper. It wasn’t just the end of this fruitless love affair that hurt her, but the loss of an innocent child.

Linda forced a smile and sighed softly. “From now on, we have no further ties. Mr. Wilson, I’m truly sorry for wasting four years of your life. From now on, you’re free.”

William remained silent. He bent down to pick up the divorce papers from the floor and walked out of the ward.

As soon as he left, Linda broke down and wailed uncontrollably. Her pale hands that gripped the rough hospital blanket were now marked with red imprints.

After a long time, she placed her hand on her flat abdomen. She still couldn’t believe that this place had once held a tiny life that lasted only 61 days.

Seeing the diagnostic report in front of her, the hatred in Linda’s eyes boiled. Despite all her efforts and sacrifices, William never loved her. To him, she was merely a scheming woman who deserved her fate.

Thinking back, her apparent weakness over the past two months wasn’t due to illness but early pregnancy symptoms.

Joanne, who had given birth before, was the one behind her fall into the lake. It dawned on Linda that Joanne and Ida were the ones who had killed her child. They were the true villains.

But, no matter who the killers were, she vowed to make them pay. Even if she was at fault, they had no right to harm an innocent child.

…

Two weeks later, Linda was discharged from the hospital.

She seemed like a completely different person and was no longer the gentle and mild-mannered woman she once was. She had become cold and distant. Her eyes were unsettling, radiating a glacier’s chill.

Anyone who came near felt as if they were being caught in a snowstorm.

The bodyguards at the villa’s entrance tried to stop her, but her fierce gaze made them hesitate. They were left powerless to prevent her entry.

Linda made her way through the Wilson residence smoothly.

Joanne was out, and Ida was sitting on the stairs with a cup of tea, casually enjoying the scenery. It was the perfect spot to view the small courtyard Linda had created.

Seeing Ida sitting there with an air of superiority, Linda’s hatred boiled once more. As she walked past the living room, she noticed a cup on the table with an extinguished cigarette butt inside.

It was a cup she had specially made for William while studying in Jasper City. But now, it was repurposed as an ashtray.

Linda picked up the cup and slowly approached Ida from behind. She smashed the cup against Ida’s forehead, and the cup shattered into pieces on the floor.

Ida winced in pain and turned around with blood streaming from her forehead. The blood soon stained her pale face like crimson roses against a blanket of snow.

“Linda, how dare you?” Ida’s hand moved to strike back, but Linda quickly restrained her wrist.

Linda gripped Ida’s throat. “How dare I? Did you ever think about that when you hurt my child?”
