A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 227 Taking Lily Home

Nelson went red with embarrassment. His hands were trembling when he replied "I wasn't peeking!."

"Oh yes I caught you, you were peeking Nelson, it's all over your face. You are blushing, I can see."

Lily Jiang emphasised.

"I was just trying to look at you, Lily!"

Lily didn't expect Nelson to respond. She sat back and continued looking out of the window.

Linda was smiling to herself. She shrugged her head slightly and thought how funny it was watching

Lily and Nelson arguing like a married couple.

On reaching home, Linda settled down in her garden to rest. She could hear Anna complaining at the

back; "Lady Linda, is everything alright? You took so long to return from your walk. You know you have

to eat your medicated porridge on time, else it loses its effect".

When Anna came out, she saw an unfamiliar face with Lady Linda. This woman had beautiful eyes and Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

soft skin. Her hair fell casually on her shoulders. Anna was confused when she saw this woman

carrying many large suitcases.

Who was this young house guest with Lady Linda?

"Give me the medicated porridge, Anna. I will have it right away." Linda reached out her hand.

"Sure, my lady. I will heat it up; it's gone cold due to the bad weather."

"Anna, let me introduce you to Lily Jiang. She will be staying here for some time. Please make up the

room for her." Linda said.

Anna acknowledged. She then looked to Lily "My name is Anna Xu, I'm Lady Linda's home doctor."

"Hello!" Lily greeted Anna. The two made a simple acquaintance.

"Lady Mu, please sit down and rest. I'm going to bring you your porridge. Oh, Lily have you had

anything to eat?" Please join us. I already had some servants set up a room for you."

"Lady Mu? Linda? You have a husband? You're married?" Lily was surprised when Anna referred to

Linda as Lady Mu.

Lily noticed Nelson referred to Linda as My Lady. Then why did Anna call her Lady Mu?

She was completely confused.

Anna told Lily, "Lady Linda is the granddaughter of Lord Nalan. She is married to the oldest son of the

Mu Clan, Charles Mu."

Lily asked in complete surprise, did you just say "Charles Mu?"

Lily could not believe her ears. She quickly pulled her cell phone out and typed Charles Mu. When she

read the information, it then struck her.

"Now I know why her name sounded so familiar. If I'm not mistaken, you are the Lady who got

separated from the Xia Clan for a long time. No wonder you told me you used to live separately and I

could stay with you without any trouble."

Linda smiled and said. "Well, I'm not married just yet; but I'm engaged and expecting a baby."

It was very uncommon for a new mother to talk with such joy and excitement over her soon to be born

baby and Linda was no exception.

"Dear God, you look so young, almost like a student at university. I never imagined you to be expecting

a baby. I just could not tell." Lily felt like she had been daydreaming, she had witnessed such

unforeseen events all day.

Linda smiled. Her mysterious eyes were as beautiful as ever, yet they seemed sad; for the scars on her

forehead only said she must have been a victim of brutality.

Anna had the servants heat up the medicinal porridge for Linda who soon ate it all.

"Lady Linda, please come back on time from tomorrow." Said Anna. "This medicinal porridge was

bought on rations. You must have them on time, or it will not work. God forbid should those scars on

your forehead become permanent.."

Anna cared a lot for Lady Linda. She wanted those scars to be gone entirely. So she could return to Mu

Charles as soon as possible.

Anna could not bear to see the lady who tried to kill Lady Linda standing beside Charles.

Nobody wanted this look-alike of Lady Linda to be anywhere near Charles. Her intentions never

seemed right, and she could not be trusted.

"I understand Anna." replied Linda with an innocent face. Anna couldn't nag on at her anymore.

Once Linda and Lily were alone in the room, Linda took off her mask. The minute Lily saw Linda's face

she was shocked. She then could not hold back and asked "My god, Lady Linda what happened?"

"How on earth did you get wounded like this? These are wounds from a knife."

Linda was unusually calm when she answered Lily, "Another woman who claims to be in love with my

soon to be husband, did this to me." Linda smiled subtly. There wasn't much reaction in her expression.

She spoke so casually, as if she was telling Lily something absolutely mundane.

But there was pain and resentment in Linda's eyes.

One could not fathom how painful this must be!

"But wait, I'm confused. You said another woman claims to be in love with your soon-to-be husband

and he did not know about it?" Has he been unfaithful? "Did you not feel it would be the right thing to

leave him for putting you through all this?" "You cannot be with someone like this? Did he not know

what was going on?"

"I will explain it to you another day. It's not what you think it is." "Relax, stay here with me for some

time."

In the house, there were a lot of vacant rooms, so Lily could choose whichever one she liked, as she

was only a temporary guest.

Linda asked Nelson to inform Richard Nalan about the new house guest.

Once Richard heard about the incident, he approved of Lily's staying.

After all it was a good thing for Linda to have someone to talk to.

So Lily Jiang stayed at Nalan Clan temporarily.

Nelson was visiting Linda frequently. Although there was no reason to. He would ask Linda if she had

any errands for him.

Linda knew Nelson was making excuses in the name of Lord Nalan, but in truth, he was only hoping to

see Lily.

As time passed and with the medication, the scars on Linda's face had lightened, it was almost a

fortnight. But Linda would still worry every time she saw her face in the mirror. That somehow she didn't

feel like herself. Almost like her face did not belong to her.

She looked as pretty as before, but there were so many changes; she could hardly remember what her

face looked like before the scars.

Anna would examine Linda and would not find anything wrong with her. She was getting curious!

She then requested for a few foreign doctors to examine Linda.
