Can't Let Go

Chapter 118 The Confession of Michael Huo

The night came.

The sky was lit up again.

A round and bright moon was hanging in the sky.

Linda Yun was sitting on the sofa at the balcony. She curled up and looked at the moon, being

absent minded.

The wedding was held today, and it was 15th August. She liked it very much.

The Mid Autumn Festival is a festival meaning reunion.

The moon was also at its most beautiful time.

Her mom used to make moon cakes for her in 15th August every year.

And those moon cakes were that with osmanthus flavor.

She tilted her head on one side and looked at those plenty of costly moon cakes placed on the

table inside the room.

These desserts were sent here by the business partners of Michael Huo, and each box of them

was expensive.

But, she even had no interest to open them.

The wind outside got bigger.

She curled herself up more tightly.

Then, the door was opened.

A tall figure appeared.

With fast pace, the man picked up a blanket on the bed, and walked to her.

"I’ve told you many times that don’t come out to get blown at the balcony!" Michael Huo soon

covered her tightly with the blanket and then, he sat beside her, hugging her.

Linda Yun looked at him and asked smilingly "How is she?"

Michael Huo looked at her eyes, said in an upset tone, "I left you behind, and you got angry, right?"

"No." Linda Yun smiled slightly and answered "Even if she were an outsider, and got fainted at our

wedding, as the hostess, we should take care of her. Besides, she is not an outsider, after all."

Michael Huo looked at her eyes obsessively, saying, "Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. And I

won’t do this next time."

Linda Yun leaned in his arms gently, and said still with a voice as light as wind "It’s nothing. I get

that. I understand that Susan is very special to you..."

Michael Huo didn’t say anything, but the strength he held her shoulders obviously got bigger.

"I heard from Jennifer that Susan and you were childhood friends, you had spent time with each

other for more than ten years. Even though there was no love between you, there would be affection of

family. Besides, your mom told you that she was your fiancee when you were a child. So you would not

treat her as your younger sister..."

"Linda Yun!" called Michael Huo.

"Listen to me!" Linda Yun noticed that he was anxious, so she said at once, "Hear me out."

Michael Huo stopped and even hugged her tightly.

Linda Yun stayed in his arms and looked at that moon again, saying gently and quietly, "I’m not

jealous of her. That is your past, and everyone has their past. I am even grateful to her greatly.

Because of her, you grow into a so perfect man. I am just like a thief. I stole away the man who gave

her all hope..."

"No, it’s not like that!" explained Michael Huo, he got worried.

Linda Yun put her hand on his lips. She looked at the man, saying, "Susan saved your life. She

was not only your benefactor, but the benefactor of us. We owe her, so we need to treat her parents

well to pay back to herin the rest of our life. As for the next life..." She smiled and said, "Just as what

your mom had said, there was no next life, so let’s stop talking about it."

"Linda....." Michael Huo got a little speechless and his voice got a little hoarse at once.

Linda Yun touched his cheek, looking at his slightly red eyes, saying, "Today she got fainted and

you rushed to her because you had mistaken her as Susan. And I believe that the scene that she

saved you six years ago is what you cannot forget. As for the purpose that when she got fainted, you

mistook her as Susan, and wanted to save her promptly, I thought it might be that you wanted to make

up for her, right?"

Michael Huo was stunned. He always knew that she was more mature than her peers.

But what was more out of his expectation was that she could be so smart and considerate.

Today, he did mistake her as Susan.

He could never forget the moment when the accident occurred and Susan jumped on him.

Their car hit a truck with goods in front of them,

letting along rebar fall from the car.

She barely hesitated and jumped on him.

The rebar got through the glass and straightly stabbed into her back...

The blood in her mouth sprayed to his face and got his eyes red.

Today, her despair look, and the scene that she heavily fell down,

made his mind absent, then he could not control himself and rushed to her.

The man didn’t say anything, and the strength in his hands got bigger, making Linda Yun feel some

painful.

HIs reaction had already proved her guess.

She felt sorry about him since she knew that this kind of feeling was painful,

which just like that she felt when she often dreamed about uncle Steven Meng even though one

year had passed.

She also had been blaming herself too. If it were not because of her, uncle Meng would still be

alive.

This self accusation tortured her every night when it was quite, let alone visiting uncle Meng at

cemetery every time.

So, she got that, and understood him.

Today, the lady whom he feel guilty about showed up, even it was not the real her.

But that face did make people confused.

"I’m sorry..." Michael Huo held her in his arms tightly, and put his head around her neck, saying,

"Six years ago...Six years ago..."

He began to sob.

"I saw her.... saw a rebar stabbing through her body when she saved me..."

His body shaked violently, and said "Though I had never truly loved her, I don’t dislike her, and

even I got used to her existence. I got used to her showing up every day and troubling me every

day...She was always optimistic and would pretend to be gloomy from time to time. But it was not until

the rebar got through her body...that I firstly see the real melancholy in her eyes.

Linda Yun was trembling because of his words.

She didn’t know the things happened six years ago.

But now, hearing this man’s statement, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Susan loved him,

and loved him deeply.

Or she would not have protected him subconsciously at that dangerous moment.

"Sorry, today, I’m so sorry..."

On the way back, he kept blaming himself.

He blamed himself that he should not have just left her alone. He clearly knew that woman was not

Susan, but he insisted on sending her to the hospital.

Linda Yun held him tightly, saying "You don’t need to say sorry to me. I’m not angry with you. I

really don’t!"

Michael Huo loosened her and looked at this thoughtful woman in his arms, feeling sorry in his

heart for her.

He touched her cheeks with his big hand, and his eyes were a little red, saying with a hoarse

voice, "No matter what will happen, don’t leave me, OK?"

Linda Yun grabbed his collar with her hands and pulled him to her. She kissed his lips.

Michael Huo did not speak and just gazed at her.

Linda Yun raised her head and looked at him too.

His eyes were filled with self accusation, apology, regret and sorrow.

All of a sudden, looking at him, she felt like crying.

Her eyes were as if beclouded by sand. She felt that her eyes were hot and sore, and gradually

swelled.

"Michael Huo, actually, I’m not kind. It’s real. And I’m even a little vicious. I once wanted to kill Mary

Yun to avenge my mom, but later many things were happened. And it was not until she got disfigured

that I seemed to put aside all my hatred!"

Then, she took a deep breath, and said " Actually, I didn’t mean to hurt her because in this world,

there is no one have blood relation with me except her..."

Her eyes became more astringent. Tears shimmered in her eyes. She said, "This time, she made

herself look like Susan. Her purpose..."

She laughed bitterly but did not make it clear.

But her purpose was so obvious.

"Michael Huo, I want tell you that if she really want to change, I’ll be willing to ignore what she

have done, But if she still want to hurt me, I will fight back!" she said with extremly firm eyes.

Michael Huo hugged her at once, holding her tightly.

"I’ll not let her harm you, never!" he said.

Linda Yun didn’t say anything, but she was till some disconsolate.

She looked at the moon, thinking that once today passed, the moon would not be round.

She just hoped that people would not separate...

The next day,

Last night both of them had their own worry,

and fell asleep till before dawn.

They woke up naturally this morning.

It was 11a.m.

Linda Yun wanted to get up but Michael Huo hugged her and stopped her action, saying, "Please

sleep for another while…"

"You don’t need to go to the company today?" Linda Yun looked at him and asked.

"I want to stay with you." He smiled and said, "Let’s go on a honeymoon, how about it?"

Linda Yun was stunned, go on a honeymoon?

Suddenly, the door was knocked.

"Younger master and lady, master asked you to go downstairs to have lunch. " came the voice of

aunt Zhang.

Linda Yun hurriedly pushed him, saying, "Hurry up, get up quickly! Your mom just got back, so it is

not good for us to get up too late."

Michael Huo smiled and held her in arm, not letting her go.

The two persons had stay on the bed for quite a while, so when they got downstairs, it was 11:30

a.m.

Michael Huo supported her with his hands and got to the dining hall with a smile.

However, his smile disappeared at the moment when he saw someone.

Mary Yun was sitting there, and beside her were Susan’s parents.

The scene, somehow, just like the familiar one many years...

"Mary, Mary..." called Susan’s mother. She pulled Mary Yun’s hands, with her eyes being red and

swollen, and stared at her.

She looked like Susan too much. They were almost the same one.

"Mom, please don’t cry." Mary Yun said and hurriedly wiped her tears away.

After she received Susan’s heart, she became the goddaughter of Susan’ parents..

And now with Susan’s heart and face, she called them mom and dad more naturally. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Good girl, my good girl..." said Susan’s father. He also cried.

"What time is it? You woke up just now?" Qu Zhirong rebuked, and glance at Linda Yun, with her

eyes being filled with contempt and sarcasm.

"Linda come here and sit. You can ignore your mom’s words." said David Huo. He liked her very

much and asked his son to beckon her to sit down.

"Dad, mom." Linda Yun still called them politely.

Qu Zhirong ignored her and looked at her own daughter, asking, "Jennifer, why are you staring at

Mary?"

Jennifer Huo put her hands on her chin, and stared at Mary Yun, then, she frowned, saying "You,

you look like her too much!"

"Jennifer~~" suddenly, Mary Yun looked at her, smiling slightly, and called.

And this call made Jennifer Huo stunned, almost out of instinct, she called her, "Sister Sue..."

Hearing this, Linda Yun was shock, wondering how much did she look like Susan that even

Jennifer regarded her as Susan?

Michael Huo got upset and became a little angry because of Jennifer Huo’s call.

His deep eyes were filled with some vague rage.

He looked at Mary Yun and said coldly, "Do not imitate her again!"
