Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

Ida was curious about how Linda had survived.

"Do you not know?" Linda looked at Ida through the glass.

Ida responded with a smile, "If I knew, I wouldn't be here, wanting to see you today."

Linda thought that made sense. As long as her goals were achieved, Ida wouldn't care about the details. After all, everyone's abilities and energy were limited.

"It's because your assistant didn't want me to die. She warned me before the fire was set."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Ida's eyes widened in shock. "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Ida, do you think everyone in this world is as morally corrupt as you? Your assistant had received my help before, so she didn't want me to die. "She also knew that after setting the fire, you would likely kill her, so she recorded that video in the car. It was meant both to protect her family and to clear her name if I came back.

"I knew about the fire in advance, and it was the only way for me to escape the villa. So, I used the fire you wanted to kill me with.

"Even though I survived, you should know that when I got out of the fire, I was severely burned. I spent a whole year in a hospital in Usna, undergoing numerous skin graft surgeries, to look like I do now." Reflecting on those past events, Linda felt more relief than hatred. She no longer harbored the same intense anger she had when she first woke up.

"I didn't expect that I'd end up defeated by your good connections." Ida laughed sadly, a mix of pity and regret.

"You didn't lose to my good connections. You never really won against me. Everything you gained after my death was something I didn't want anymore. To me, you were just a scavenger picking up what I discarded, things I didn't care about or even wanted to get rid of."

Linda was blunt, making Ida struggle to find a response. "Linda, do you still love William?"

"No, I don't." The answer was immediate and decisive with no hesitation. This was a question everyone had asked her. Whenever asked if she still loved William, she would have a reflexive response. "Do you regret it?" Linda asked again.

"That's not important."

Linda agreed. At this point, considering whether Ida regretted it was meaningless.

"Don't do these things in your next life." With that, Linda stood up to leave.

Just as she was stepping out of the room, Ida said, "Linda, I'm sorry. I ruined your once happy marriage."

Linda didn't turn around. Her marriage was never going to be happy.

In this story, Joanne, Ida, and everyone involved were at fault, but the biggest mistake was Linda's own. It was her excessive obsession and fixation on William that led to her current fate.
