Chapter 316 You Are Playing With Fire
Lisa had just showered. Her hair was still damp. She was shivering with cold as she fondly gazed at
him.
"Of course."
Robert opened the door wider for her so that she could step into the room.
As soon as he closed the door, Lisa quickly reached out and switched off the light. The room was dark,
and the ambience was intense.
"What's wrong, Linda?"
"Bobby, I feel cold. Could you please come to the bed and hug me?" Lisa's soothing voice echoed in
the darkness.
The Mu clan's main house
Charles was still upset when he left the villa. He could not focus on his work in the company, so he
went to the Mu clan's main house instead.
For a couple of nights, whenever he went to bed and closed his eyes, Linda's face would appear and
haunt him.
He felt useless about himself.
"Young Master, the woman disappeared."
Paul knocked on his door and brought him the shocking news.
No servant ever bothered Charles late in the evening, unless it was urgent.
"Disappeared?" Charles got out of bed and sat in the sofa. He rubbed his hair in distress and
murmured to himself.
Tonight was going to be another sleepless night for him.
"Yes. She is gone. Tonight around midnight when the guards switched shifts, someone set fire to the
lawn and caused a distraction. After the fire was put out, she vanished into thin air."
"She seemed to have gotten scared after having been exposed."
"Yes, Young Master. Luckily, we had tapped into her phone and tracked down her whereabouts. Last
time at around 8:00 PM, she dialled a number. It belongs to Robert Huo. The GPS also shows that she
is now with him in the Huo clan's villa, "
Paul calmly reported to Charles.
"Do you have a recording of her call to Robert?"
"Yes, we do. I asked the technicians to extract their conversations. But, we came across some
technical glitches. We'll deliver it to your desk tomorrow morning."
"Noted. You may leave now."
Paul paused and then said, "Young Master, shouldn't we send some men over and get the woman
back?"
"Robert sent her to me to start with. Now that they know that I have found out about her real identity,
they had to rescue her back. Anyway, she is not my Linda. Why would I bother getting her back? Rest
now. Let's discuss this tomorrow."
Charles needed to listen to the recording first to find out what they were talking about. Then, he would
act accordingly. He had all the patience to deal with them.
It was indeed a harsh night for Charles as he had difficulty falling asleep. His mind was filled with
thoughts of Linda.
He even had a dream about her. In the dream, Linda screamed at him, "Hubby, please come and
rescue me..."
Early next morning, Paul knocked on Charles's door again. He brought him a bunch of newspapers.
"Young Master, please have a look at these papers. The media has written horrible things about you. I
am sure someone is behind all of these, trying to ruin your reputation!"
Charles slept badly last night. His body was aching all over. Upon hearing Paul's words, he quickly took
the newspaper and started scanning through the articles. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The headline of the paper read, "Shocking News! Abandoned after Miscarriage! A Vicious Scheme or A
Utter Tragedy?" Then there was a subtitle of how Linda, the Lady of the Mu clan was mistreated by
Young Master Mu. 'Shocking News?'
Charles's face turned darker and darker as he carried on reading the content. Obviously, someone had
set him up by writing fake news about him. They wanted to tarnish his reputation and be shamed by the
public! The story in the newspaper was very detailed. They even mentioned how Amy tricked Linda into
conceiving.
The incident was only known to a few people in the Mu clan's villa.
Charles had every reason to believe that the whole incident was carefully planned by someone.
"Young Master, this is outrageous. I am sure Robert is behind all these. He secretly took the woman
away from us last night, and now, he used his connections and published false stories about you in the
newspaper. He is deliberately trying to ruin your reputation!" Paul's voice was shaky.
"More than my reputation, I care about Linda's wellbeing. Is she with him or not?"
If Linda was indeed being held hostage by Robert, then everything that had happened made sense.
Nalan clan's private hospital
"My Lady, your child is in very good condition at the moment. It is growing well inside your body. We
can schedule you to one visit per week to monitor its development." The doctor looked at Linda's
reports and explained to her with a smile.
Linda was relieved at the doctor's words. She smiled back and said, "Thank you, Doctor."
"You are welcome, My Lady. We are just doing our jobs here."
Anna was a trained doctor. She had abundant knowledge in taking care of patients. Some of her
advices were extremely useful for Linda. But she wasn't an OBGYN.
Therefore, Linda still had to go to the hospital every week to have herself checked. She was concerned
about the development of her baby. She needed to make sure that it is growing healthily in her body.
Now that she was already four months pregnant. Her pregnant bump was getting visible.
Linda lovingly rubbed her belly. Her heart was filled with joy.
"My Lady, your baby is already four-months old. You should start taking extra care of it from now on.
Stay healthy, and don't get sick. Otherwise, it could be bad for the baby." As soon as they stepped out
of the hospital, Anna started to nag Linda about her wellbeing.
Linda nodded with a smile. She knew that she was frail, so for the sake of her child, she needed to pay
extra attention to herself. As the weather was changing constantly, she needed to dress more warmly.
She also understood that she shouldn't take any random medicine during her pregnancy as they might
damage her baby's brain.
"I know!"
Linda pouted as she nudged Anna on the waist. Anna's caring words always warmed her heart.
