A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 405 Caught In A Dilemma

After Adam finished speaking, he walked away.

Not long after he left, Lisa got a phone call. It wasn't from Adam this time. It was from Robert.

"Where have you been, my dear? What's taking you so long? Are you not feeling well?" Robert said in

a soft voice at the other end of the line.

"No, I'm fine. I'm coming back now, " answered Lisa.

Before Robert's call, she had been sitting on the floor, almost crying her eyes out. Robert wondered

why she had been gone for so long, so he called her to make sure that she was okay. Lisa managed to

stand up from the floor. Her hand as well as her chest were very painful. There was a big, red handprint

on her face.

Adam had hit her too hard. Wasn't he afraid that Robert would notice the wound or the handprint?

Robert saw the red handprint on Lisa's face right after she walked back to the waiting room. Her

forehead was also bleeding. Although the wound had been cleaned up, it was evident on her face.

Robert panicked. He tried to find out what had happened to her. Lisa said that she went to the

bathroom. What had happened? Why was there a red handprint on her face?

Robert held Lisa in his arms right away. He placed his hand on her cheek and said, "What happened to

you?"

"The bathroom floor was wet, so I slipped and hit my head against the sink by accident. It's not a big

deal, " Lisa shook her head and said.

"How clumsy of you. You must be more careful next time!" Robert said worriedly.

Just then, an attendant opened the VIP room's door. Smiling at them, he said, "Mr. Huo, Miss. Xia, the

airline has announced the departure of your flight. Boarding will be closed in 15 minutes. Please have

your belongings and tickets ready and go to the boarding gate."

"Let's go, Linda.

Our flight is now ready for boarding. We should get on the plane."

"I'm not feeling very well now, Robert. Can we go next time? Let's go home now, shall we? I don't want

to leave like this."

Robert understood what she had meant. Leaving everything behind was very hard for her. After all, she

had a very close relationship with Charles before. The reason she wasn't feeling well might have

something to do with him. Robert didn't think about it any further since he loved Linda so much. He

simply said, "Okay, let's go home. We will have our trip some other time. I will go anywhere with you."

"I love you, Robert, " said Lisa. She didn't know what else to say. She knew that Robert treated her

very well, but she also knew that the one Robert loved was Linda Xia, not Lisa Xia.

On their way back, Lisa hesitated for a long time, but then she spoke eventually, "Robert, if I have lied

to you about something, what would you do?"

Robert was shocked at the question. He wondered if Linda had hidden something from him, Or if she

had regretted leaving Charles for him. Robert thought that Linda might still love Charles. He knew well

that if Charles hadn't left her in the first place, he wouldn't have had the chance to be with Linda.

Robert felt bitterness in his heart. Was he just a rebound guy?

"Linda, do you want to go back to Charles?" Robert asked in response.

Lisa shook her head at once and said, "No, I don't. I've never thought of getting back with Charles. You

must believe me. You are the one I love now."

Robert's face softened by what Lisa had said.

"So what did you mean by that? Have you lied to me?"

"I can't explain it to you now. But please, believe in me. Robert, I truly love you. Even if you find out that

I have lied to you, please don't leave me for that. Please don't."

Although Robert didn't understand what Linda was talking about, he thought that she might have her

own problems that she couldn't share with him at this moment. "Don't worry. I won't leave you as long

as you are not lying about loving me, " Robert said in distress

Robert believed that Linda wouldn't lie about her feelings to him. If she didn't love him, why would she

want to stay with him? At the very beginning, Linda had rejected him coldly. At that time, she was with

someone else, and she didn't want to hurt his feelings.

Rejecting other men when she was with someone else showed that she was a loyal girl who was

serious about her relationships, right?

"Thank you, Robert, " said Lisa. Opening her arms, she gave him a big hug and a kiss on his face.

Kissing her on her cheek in reply, he said, "You silly girl, you don't need to thank me for something like

that. Let's go. I will accompany you to Charles's wedding. I want to ask him how he could do something Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

that terrible to you. You are my love. I won't allow him to hurt you and treat you like a fool anymore."

Lisa was caught in a dilemma. If Robert went to the wedding with her, he might find out about the truth

that there were two Lindas. After all, she was the fake Linda Xia. If Young Master Mu revealed the truth

in front of Robert, Robert might not believe her no matter what she said.

Robert's phone rang while Lisa was trying to think of something to stop Robert from going with her.

Robert took out his phone. It was from Adam.

"What's wrong, Adam?"

Robert answered the call, wondering why his brother would call him now.

"Hello, is this Mr. Huo?" There was a strange voice at the other end of the line. Robert had a bad

feeling about it.

"Yes. Who is it?"

"I'm a doctor from XH Hospital. Are you Adam Huo's brother?"

"Yes, I am."

"Your brother is in our hospital now. He was sent here by strangers on the street. It seemed that he

blacked out. We found his phone with him, and we found your number on his contacts marked as

'brother', so we gave you a call."

"Oh my god! Is he okay?"

"We're not sure yet. We hope you can come to the hospital as soon as possible."

Lisa was standing close, next to Robert, so she heard the conversation clearly. As expected, Adam had

thought it through. It seemed that Adam had come up with something to get Robert away from her.

She would never believe that Adam really passed out. He was kicking her so hard a while ago.

Because of it, she felt dizzy, almost passing out just then in the bathroom. There was no way that he

was sick now.

"Is there something that happened to Adam? You don't need to worry about me. I can go to the

wedding by myself. You should go take good care of Adam now, " Lisa said cautiously.

Now, Robert was caught in a dilemma. Today was very important for Linda and him.

He wanted to go to the wedding and confront Charles with Linda, but his brother was in the hospital

now. He loved Adam dearly. He got very worried when he knew that Adam blacked out. He wanted to

go the hospital right away to find out what illness Adam was suffering from since the doctor didn't say

much on the phone.
