Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Samson was still in Usna when his assistant informed him about Linda’s accident. He was overseeing an important contract for the Lynch Group that demanded his presence.

As soon as the contract was signed, his assistant told him the situation was dire. So, Samson booked the next flight home without hesitation.

Upon landing, he learned Linda was at the Wilson residence and headed straight there without comprehending what had happened.

Everyone knew about Linda’s love for William. Despite knowing this relationship would never bring her happiness, she stubbornly persisted for four long years.

If William could achieve the divorce so easily, her perseverance would have been a joke.

Linda’s expression fell at the mention of the divorce. William’s cold gaze still haunted her.

Samson handed her a cup of warm water, which she held tightly.

Linda remained silent, and Samson patiently waited for her to speak, knowing she would in time.

“Samson…” Linda pursed her lips and handed the cup back to him.

There was too much history and complexity in her tormenting marriage with William to explain in a few words.

She took a deep breath and said vaguely, “I’ve loved him long enough. I’m exhausted, so it’s time to let go.”

She had loved him for four years and sacrificed her dignity, only to be seen as a clingy, wicked woman. Since that was the case, it was better to end it now.

Thinking about the lost child, tears welled up in Linda’s eyes. This was the result of her four-year struggle in the marriage. She tearfully caressed her abdomen, lamenting the child she never got to feel.

Seeing Linda’s profound sorrow, Samson was at a loss for words to comfort her. He decided to stay silent and keep her company in the ward.

“Linda, come live with me in Novena,” Samson suggested after a long silence, handing her a letter. “This is from Mr. Felix.”

Linda took the envelope in a daze, and Samson continued, “Mr. Felix knew you wouldn’t stop until you hit rock bottom.

“He loved you and wanted you to pursue what you wanted. He saw everything you’ve been through these past years.”

With trembling hands, Linda opened the envelope and took out the letter.

“My dearest Linda, if you’re reading this, it means you’ve finally run out of patience. I know these past few years have been incredibly tough for you, enduring a failed marriage.

“You gave everything to a man who once promised you the world, but whether he remembers you or his promise, you’ve held up your end. You’ve loved him long enough. You’re remarkable.

“Your love is so great that William doesn’t deserve it. While your mother was still conscious, she always worried about you suffering and asked me to leave you and Chloe a safety net.

“She always said that she only saw light in your eyes when you looked at William. Since you saw him as your light, you should follow it. Later, we realized you treated him as the direction and destination of your happiness.

“As your parents, we had no choice but to support you wholeheartedly. It was the only thing we could do for you.
