She said and then sprinted.
But when the pair opened the ward door, they saw Linda staring at her phone.
The pair were horrified.
Tears streamed down the woman’s face. She turned to look at her parents and smiled, “So, it was really a dream.”
Rose answered in distress, “Linda, it’s not your fault! It’s the old man of the Wickam family who changed his mind. I will never allow your marriage to be voided just like that! Never!”
Linda laughed, “Is there anything impossible? They have already prepared liquidated damages, so what else can we say…”
She is no longer as irate or agitated as she was earlier. Her mother saw that she resembled a delicate porcelain doll that may topple over in the slightest breeze.
Norman Benett was worried about his daughter’s situation, so he immediately stepped forward. “Linda, look at the bright side. You’re free.”
Linda was weeping at that point, “It’s useless whether I cheer up or not, so why force myself? Dad, Mom, you don’t need to persuade me. I know, I’m done. I’ve lost him.”
A man of great standing was to be engaged to her, but now… it’s all gone. That same man now wants nothing to do with her.
From a star to now a butt of some cruel joke.
Linda gave up.
“Ah!”
Norman and Rose were shaken by her sudden outburst. Rose rushed to her side.
“Linda, calm down! Mom will figure it out!”
