Chapter 205 – Meeting Linda
Scarlette saw my emotional tension, and immediately comforted me, “Don’t be anxious, this is just our guess, besides, there is still Dean He’s side, give us a bottom, what are you afraid of?”
“That being said, if there’s the slightest slip-up in any of the steps, it can be all downhill from there!” I glanced at Scarlette.
She had a disinterested look on her face, “No way? Don’t you think too bad.”
“I hope so!” I mumbled in response.
“Daisy!”
Just then, a voice came from not far away, calling my name again.
I was stunned and hurriedly turned around, but to my surprise, I saw Steven’s daughter-in-law, Linda, carrying a bag, coming from outside.
“Hi!” I opened my mouth to call out and greeted her, “What brings you to the hospital?”
She smiles coyly, takes my hand, looks at Scarlette again, gives her a polite nod, then looks back at me and says, “I’ve been a little under the weather lately, so I came in for a checkup and pick up the results today.”
To be honest, I hadn’t seen Linda in a long time, and if I did the math, it could have been years.
She still looked the same, except she seemed to be thinner than before, and her face had a hint of pallor to it.
“What’s wrong? Seen?” I asked with concern, I still had a soft spot for this sister-in-law, the only person in Robert’s family that I didn’t resent, and then there was their daughter.
“My stomach is always upset and vaguely aching, and it’s been a long time!” She spoke with the voice of a kitten, so quiet that it was heartbreaking.
She scrutinized me, “It’s been too long since I’ve seen you, I heard you were sick, I wanted to see you, but …”
She lowered her eyes and didn’t continue the conversation, but I knew what she was going to say in the following words?
“It’s okay, it’s family, I’m better now! Don’t worry Linda,” I reassured her, “Is Loretta home on vacation?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Her daughter with Steven is named Loretta, a little older than my Lilly, and I haven’t seen her in years.
“She’s home by herself. Where’s Lilly and Oliver?” Linda smiles warmly and looks over at me and asks, “It’s been a long time! All grown up!”
“Hmm! It’s all very high! They went to Southend, to my mom’s house!” I regretted it as soon as I said it; Linda has very little interaction with her parents, so it’s unlikely that the kids would go to Grandma’s house.
At that time, Robert and I had been dating for a long time, and Linda and Steven were just about to get married when the two families fell out.
Her parents said many times that this marriage can not be concluded, so that Linda and Steven hurry to break up. However, Linda did not know what to think, anyway, is silently followed Steven’s back, no matter how the two families how to make trouble, is to follow Steven.
I don’t know if she really likes Steven or if she’s being dominated by Steven, but anyway, no matter how much she fights, it doesn’t break up.
Angry, her parents directly threw out a few of her clothes and announced to the public that if she insisted on marrying Steven, they would disown the daughter.
Linda was also really odd, packing up her clothes just to follow Steven’s ass in a life and death fashion.
Then it was me who interceded with Charlotte and took some more money and bought a very small old house for the two of them, and finally got the marriage off the ground.
The result was the birth of Loretta in less than a year.
I later reckoned that it was because Linda already knew she was pregnant with Steven’s child, so she thought in her bones that she couldn’t break it up, and so she quietly followed through to the end.
As a result, Linda’s relationship with her parents has been strained and she doesn’t get along very well.
Sure enough, Linda’s expression stiffened when she heard me say that, “That’s great that you have a parental home to go back to!”
“Hi …, I haven’t been back for a long time since I’ve been sick, and it’s only because I’m angry with Robert. I was angry with Robert, so I went home in a fit of rage!” I said this on purpose, “I’m going back in a few days, why don’t … we get Loretta to go to Southend for a couple of days as well?”
