Can't Let Go

Chapter 43 Will Tigers Eat Their Cubs?

What James Yun resented the most in his life was threatening.

Neither his wife nor his children could threaten him!

The whip ped once and again, each time with monstrous fury.

Linda Yun didn't resist. She bent over on the ground, and was beaten so harshly as if her skin

were cut open and her flesh was torn and bleeding.

"Will you talk like that again?"

The angry questioning ped with the whip again resolutely.

She was already numb with physical pain. Biting her lips, she was trembling from the beating.

He...should have come now...

"I'm asking you a question. Are you playing dead? Then I'll beat you until you talk!" James Yun

was in a rage, presently, he lifted his whip, and it fell down again harshly.

But this time, the whip didn't fall on her. It was seized by somebody else.

James Yun blurted out reflexively, "Which jerk dares to interfere?"

When he cast his glance backwards, his whole body was suddenly rigid.

"Dad..." Mary Yun blurted out as if she found it incredible.

Her eyes bulged. She looked at James Yun and then looked at Linda Yun, who lay on the floor,

looking as if she were dying. Mary Yun was shocked.

She had always known that Linda Yun was not popular here.

But she had never expected her Dad would beat Linda Yun like this.

What on earth had happened?

"Ting...Tingchen..." James Yun looked embarrassed immediately, "How come you are back here?"

After saying these words, the whip was loosened awkwardly.

"Why do you come back without telling us?" Maria Gu hastened to touch Mary Yun with her hand,

looking at her reproachfully.

Mary Yun was also struck dumbly. She then understood at once, looking at Michael Huo, and felt a

little worried as well.

"Tingchen....Well, well...Well..." She stammered, and didn't know how to put it at all.

"What if I say they are just as indifferent to others tragedies? What if I say they just don't like us?

What if I say, our difficult position today is forced by them? Will you believe it?"

The man knitted his brows deeply and squatted down slowly.

He didn't say anything, but put Linda Yun into his arms right away.

Linda Yun was hugged in his arms, so she buried his head in his coat. Her tears rolled down in

large s and dampened his shirt.

She was like a mistreated child, holding fast to his clothes.

"Well, Tingchen....Things are not like what you imagine. Nian has just come back, she was going

too far just now, and that's why I wanted to teach her a lesson!" James Yun hastened to add.

"Right, Tingchen. Your uncle was only too anxious to let Nian behave, or else he wouldn't have

been so extreme. This is not his original intention!" Maria Gu also said hastily.

The man didn't pay attention to them; instead, he stared at the lass in his arms.

Linda Yun raised her arms slowly; those bloodstains were a ghastly sight.

Her face was stained with tears. But she still stretched her lips and laughed, looking sardonic,

"Brother-in-law...now...you must have known the answer..."

After saying this, she looked at Michael Huo.

What kind of look was that?

Despair?

Sadness?

Heartbreak?

The complicated and variable looks lternated in the young girls eyes.

Just at the moment, Michael Huo's heart had an inexplicable jerk badly.

It was endearment.

He stood up without saying anything, holding Linda Yun and walking outside.

"Tingchen!" Mary Yun chased after him immediately.

"I'll take her to the hospital."

"I'll go with you." Mary Yun was suddenly nervous without knowing why. She had a hunch.

If she let go of him now,

she would lose him forever!

"Tingchen, well, well, let me call a family doctor and ask the doctor to come here and treat her."

James Yun also approached them and said.

"Tingchen, if you are still worried, I'll accompany you to the hospital. I'm also worried about my

younger sister." Mary Yun hastened to grab the mans arms, and pled.

"That's not necessary." The man sounded cool, without turning around his head while holding her.

They didn't even find that Michael Huo had disappeared at the gateway while holding Linda Yun.

In the VIP ward.

All of the scars on Linda Yun were soon treated.

She lay in bed. Her face looked so pale. As she was receiving drip infusion, she fell asleep.

The man sat on a sofa with his eyes being lowered. He looked at the files in his cellphone and his

brows were knitted even more tightly.

Mary Yun!

The girl referred to by the male model turned out to be Mary Yun!

While the following materials made the man's face even dimmer. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Joe Guo copied the video clips shot at the hotel that night and then sent the clips to him.

He saw two figures, one coming in, the other leaving the room, replacing each other.

The video was pretty clear.

He was fooled!

Raising his eyes and looking at the woman in bed, the man's eyes brimmed with fury.

This woman had been provoking him again and again.

He had finally found out why!

No wonder he found her so familiar, and even the way her body smelled was that familiar!

Well The girl in bed frowned slightly, and couldn't help snoring slightly.

Michael Huo stood up and walked straight to the bed.

The girl opened her eyes slowly. Her pale cheeks and pitch-black eyeballs were extremely quiet.

She looked around herself and asked in bewilderment, "Where...where am I now?"

"Hospital!"

Linda Yun was a little struck dumb, and then she looked at herself.

Her clothes were changed into a hospital gown, and the white band stuck to the back of her hand

hadn't been torn away after she received drip infusion.

What had happened just now quickly skimmed across her mind.

Then, she sat up slowly, looked at him and grinned, "Brother-in-law, thanks!"

"Thanks?" Michael Huo looked at her. His low and coarse voice contained an inexplicable

meaning, "Isn't this the result you wanted?"

Linda Yun slightly frowned because she couldn't get it.

"You knew that I would come to Yun's mansion, right?" He approached her, and his eyes were

filled with intense force.

Linda Yun couldn't help knitting her eyebrows.

"Linda Yun, you are clever!"

Linda Yun remained silent and stared at him.

The man curved his lips and stood up. He turned around and walked to the window sill. Then, he

opened the windows and lit a cigarette.

"If I have made no mistake, Richard Qu must have told you that we were back. You were intelligent

enough to know that we were in the same flight soon. I'm not interested to know where you went after

getting off the plane, but you were so clever that when you got back to Yun's mansion, you sent me a

message, 'Will tigers eat their cubs?'"

With it, Michael Huo wore a faint smile, "You refused to answer my questions on the islet again

and again, but now you've sent such a message to me. Don't you want me to know the answer here?"

After saying it, Michael Huo nipped the cigarette and put it out, "How did you expect that I would

come back for sure?"

Linda Yun's facial expressions became rigid at once.

The man was not in haste, either. He just kept staring at her this way.

On seeing this, Linda Yun suddenly looked at him, wearing a bright smile in her eyes. But her

smile was cold and her voice was also low and cool, just like an illusion, "Because I know you are

curious about me!"

"Oh?" The man's doubtful voice flew out faintly.

Linda Yun lifted her quilt, and walked over to the man barefeet.

Then, she stood on tiptoes and approached his ears with her scarlet lips. She whispered,

"Because men all like coquettish girls, I Aren't I a shameless coquette?"

On hearing it, Michael Huo upturned his lips and smiled. He covered up her waist with one hand,

so as to get her close to him.

He also bent over, and whispered in her ears, "Then, why don't you act like it more professionally,

like being a contemptible coquette?"

Linda Yun raised her eyes, and looked at him in bewilderment.

What did he mean?

'Knock, knock, knock'. Suddenly, the door to the ward was knocked by someone.

"Nian, are you asleep? This is your elder sister."

The girl at the doorway was Mary Yun!

Linda Yun sneered inside. Mary Yun had really picked the right moment to come.

She raised her eyes, and wore a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Brother-in-law, let go of me, if

my elder sister sees it, I'm afraid my sister would have misunderstandings about us."

"So you care about her feelings?"

"Sure, that is your fiancée, and my good sister!" She lifted her eyebrows, and said in a tone as if

taking things for granted.

"Really?" The man smiled ungratefully, "When you were deliberating on how to hook me, why

didn't you think about your elder sister?"

Linda Yun was struck dumb on the spot.

"Brother-in-law wh..what are you talking about?"

"Attixs."

He wore a faint smile, and pinched her waist with great effort, "A, t, t, i, x, are you familiar with

these letters?"

Linda Yun's eyes bulged abruptly. She looked at him in surprise.

'Attixs', that seven-star hotel, is where she lost her chastity!

"Wh..what are you talking about? I can't get it." She started to shove him aside.

She didn't know why, but suddenly an intense feeling of uneasiness seized her.

Such uneasiness scared her and made her want to flee away.

But the man imprisoned her more tightly, making it impossible for her to escape.

"Nian, are you asleep? This is Mary, open the door!" It was Mary Yun's voice from outside.

"Miss. Yun, are you here to visit patients? I have keys, and I'll help you get them soon." A nurse's

voice rang presently.

"OK, thanks."

As Linda Yun heard it, she knew that Mary Yun would come in soon.

"My sister is coming in, step aside!"

"Are you scared of her?" The man wore a smile on his thin lips, as if scorning her.

Linda Yun knitted her brows, and said nastily, "Why would I be scared of her? It is you who should

be scared of her. What are you doing now? Having an affair with her younger sister? Aren't you afraid

of her jealousy?"

He didn't say anything just with his faint smile.

Right, the man wasn't scared at all.

"Michael Huo, step aside!"

She was not worried about Mary Yun's being jealous at all; she was scared of this man.

He had really seen her through completely.

She felt that if she continued to pester him, maybe she would be the one suffering.

"Michael Huo..." he laughed, "You were calling my name in such a funny way!"

Right, the pronunciation of the three characters was filled with anger. This was the first time for him

to hear his own name called in anger.

"Let me tell you, if you do not loosen your grip now, I...I'll tell her that we've had sex!"

In a hurry, she blurted out.

She remembered that he had given her 400,000 yuan as hush money!

"Hah." On hearing it, the man was happier.

"Linda Yun, are you looking down upon her? She didn't even care when you made love with me for

the first time, why would she care when it is your second time?"

Linda Yun was shocked.

Wh..what had he said?

On seeing her dumbstruck look, the man was on cloud nine. He held her up instantly, and then

walked over to the bed and ped her.

Both of his hands were supported on both of her sides, "Linda Yun, you want to avenge her, don't

you? Why not edge her out and be Mrs. Huo instead?"

Linda Yun,...
