Chapter 233
Linda took a deep breath before answering. “Okay, I understand.”
And so, they ended the phone call. Rose immediately arranged for some people to go to the hospital. Linda, on the other hand, sat in her ward. She felt extremely uneasy.
Soon, twenty minutes had passed.
Linda gripped her phone tightly. Eventually, she called Monica.
Monica had played an important role in helping her get into the Wickam family. Monica was also waiting for tonight.
When Monica heard her phone ring, she thought she had succeeded. She smiled and answered the call with a smile. “Linda, why are you calling me at this time? Have you not gone to bed yet?”
Linda gently gasped through her mouth like her nose was blocked. She sounded like she had cried.
Monica frowned, and quickly asked, “Linda, what’s the matter?”
Linda gasped again, then spoke softly. She sounded as if she was trying hard to refrain from crying. “Aunty, I’m… going home first.”
Her voice shook as she was about to finish her sentence. She sounded like she was unable to hold back her emotions.
Monica’s facial expression changed immediately. “What is wrong, Linda? Where are you going? What about Gareth?”
Linda sighed. “Aunty, perhaps we are not meant for each other. I… I shall go back first. I will not intervene in Gareth’s life anymore in the future. I will not carry any hopes for him either.”
“Linda, calm down. What on earth happened? Tell me.”
Linda sniffed. Then she spoke in a trembling voice, “There’s no need for that, aunty. You don’t have to do anything for me. I shouldn’t have expected too much. I should have remained aloof, and not spoiled their relationship. I shall leave, aunty. I will visit you in the future when I have the chance.”
Linda hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
It was a chilly night. The icy breeze kissed her face. She could not help but shiver. But the chill she felt physically was no competition to the piercing coldness in her heart.
