A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 476 There was No Retreat

Linda understood Bun's worries. Brian's missions were always dangerous because most of them were

confidential and related to national interests. Brian had to risk his life in order to fulfill his duty to his

country. Bun was worried that Brian might get wounded or even lose his life. She was scared that it

might be their last farewell.

"Two months will be over soon. But, My Lady, Bun and Brian have just gotten married. They are still in

their honeymoon phase. It is normal for them to not be able to live apart from each other, " Anna

teased.

Linda then held Bun's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry. Brian is a very strong and clever

man. He would surely come back in one piece. Just stay here with me in the next two months. My

babies would be born by then. When Brian comes back, he will be my twins' sworn father."

Bun thought that Linda was right. Since Brian had gone on a mission, she could stay with Linda and

ensure her safety in the last two months of her pregnancy.

As the Lady of the Mu clan, Linda was always in a dangerous position. There were always people who

would have evil intentions against Linda. The following two months would be a crucial period for her, so

Bun felt that she was obligated to protect Linda well.

"My Lady, your babies would be born soon. Let me protect you in these two months!" Bun said with a

smile.

Linda nodded in agreement. Indeed, she felt much more relieved if Bun stayed by her side. After all,

Ron and the other bodyguards were all men, so it was inconvenient for them to protect a pregnant

woman in some respects.

"Oh, right. I have to visit the Nalan clan's house tonight. Bun, could you and Anna come with me? I

want to stay there for a couple of days to keep my grandfather company, " said Linda.

"Yes, My Lady, " said Bun.

Bun had just gotten back from her honeymoon, so she went out to unpack her luggage first. They were

all going to set out at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Linda felt sleepy after she had finished her congee, so she decided to take a nap.

In the Huo clan's villa

Lisa Xia felt like there was a swarm of ants biting and crawling all over her body.

It was very tormenting for Lisa to get rid of her drug addiction, but on top of that, she had to make sure

that she wouldn't get caught by Robert Huo. Lisa realized that these two months were the most

unforgettable days in her life. It was even more tormenting than the days when she was under Adam

Huo's torture.

But Lisa had no choice but to endure it. Every time she thought of surrendering to her drug addiction,

she would think about Robert and the happiness of having a healthy baby with him. With this on her

mind, Lisa was motivated and determined to battle her vice. She clenched her teeth and tried to

manage with all her efforts to carry on destroying her drug habits.

Time slowly passed by, and it had been already two months since Lisa had started to fight against her

drug addiction. During these two months, Robert felt his heart ache for Lisa. He didn't know why Lisa

was getting thinner and weaker day by day. Her face had been looking pale, too.

Robert wanted to take Lisa to the hospital and have her go through a thorough check-up. But Lisa

refused to do so.

Lisa simply explained that she was just feeling tired and frustrated because of the hot summer weather.

She told Robert that she would be fine when summer was over.

"Lisa, come on. You have to hold on. Things will be over soon, and you are going to win. If you persist

for one more month, you will completely get rid of your drug addiction and be sober, " Vincent Zhou

said to Lisa.

The drug withdrawal symptoms were attacking Lisa again. She lay prone on the floor, wearing an

anguished face. Vincent felt so sad to see her like this. But he could do nothing to help her. Lisa could

only depend on herself.

This was the most difficult period to endure after the initial treatments. Her drug addiction would have

relapses from time to time during this month. If Lisa could get through all of them, she would succeed in

abandoning the drug addiction.

Now, beads of sweat were trickling down Lisa's forehead. Her face went deathly pale. She was unable

to utter a single word because of the great pain. Before, when the drug addiction attacked, the pain

would be over in about two hours. However, this time, it was already three hours, but she was still

feeling pain all over her body. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Lisa was beginning to have hallucinations. A lot of voices and whispers were echoing in her mind.

"Give up!" "Just take a little drug this time." "Have a bit of it. It's okay." She was battling these

psychological temptations.

"No, no. I can't give up. I must get rid of my addiction. I must have a happier life than Linda Xia!"

"I want a baby with Robert. We will live happily forever."

Lisa kept muttering all these words, trying to encourage herself.

Another two hours passed by. Vincent was still sitting on a corner, helplessly watching Lisa fight against

the pain on her own. Vincent had asked the doctor about it, and the doctor said that this was the most

difficult phase of the rehabilitation. If Lisa could overcome it, she would gradually feel better in the

following month and she would soon completely get rid of the addiction.

Drugs were a dangerous vice, but Adam Huo was so vicious to have made Lisa addicted to them.

Vincent really hated Adam with a passion because of this.

But Adam had already paid for what he had done. They had already killed him, dismembered his body,

and threw the parts in an unknown forest to feed to the wild beasts. Adam deserved it.

Finally, the pain began to ease. Lisa was drenched in her sweat.

"Brother, I've gotten through it. I am winning this. But, oh, it was so tormenting!" Lisa said lweakly.

Teardrops fell down her cheeks and onto the floor because Lisa was too exhausted to wipe off her

tears.

Sympathetically, Vincent helped Lisa stand up from the floor and comforted her, "Things will get better

and better. The doctor said that this would be the most difficult time. It won't be as tormenting in the

next following days."

"Really? Oh, thank god! I really wouldn't be able to endure it a second time. It's so terrible!"

"It seems that you really love Robert Huo very much, " said Vincent.

Lisa grinned and nodded. "Yes, I love Robert very much. Before, I've always thought that I love Young

Master Mu. But now, I realized that I might have just been attracted toward him because he was an

outstanding man in society. I adored him, but it wasn't true love. It's different from my feelings toward

Robert."

"Yes, I think so." Vincent nodded in agreement. Lisa was young and impulsive at the time. She had

always behaved absurdly without thinking things through. Now, after having experienced so many

things, she had become more mature and composed. Life, indeed, didn't treat her so well.

"But Lisa, I want to remind you. Have you really considered it? Robert loves Linda Xia, not you. Is he

worth it?"

Vincent frowned and hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to ask the question that he had

always wanted to ask. Lisa was his only sister, one of his only remaining family members now, so

Vincent didn't want her to regret it.

Lisa nodded her head. She was not going to back away from this one.

"It's worth it. Look. If I wasn't with Robert, he would've been very distressed because he couldn't get

Linda. I love him, and I want him to be happy. I look like Linda now, so he is happy to be together with

me. As long as we can stay with each other and get what we want, it's totally okay."

Vincent understood that Lisa was crazily in love with Robert, and she would do anything for him. He

sighed and patted Lisa's shoulders, saying, "Okay, fine. Do whatever you want as long as you are

happy. Okay, Robert would be back soon. Go take a shower. You look like you've fallen into a river."
