Chapter 68
Back at the hotel, they were ready to go back.
Lynn went back to the room to pack up and when she lay out the quilt, she found a delicate button on the bed sheet.
Picking up it, she was shocked because the clothes on her body didn’t have such buttons, so it must have been left by the man the night before.
At this time, Benson stepped in, “Have you packed up. Let’s go.”
Lynn tightened her palms abruptly and hid the button. It was like a rusted nail pierced into her skin. She didn’t want anyone to know that such an embarrassing thing had happened to her.
“What are you looking at?”
Regaining her senses, Lynn realized Benson had come to her room, and kept searching as if looking for something.
Benson turned his back and straightened, shielding Lynn with his back. Then he raised his right wrist to touch the bare cuff.
He had already found out that the button on his cuff had fallen off.
It wasn’t lost under the cliff. Before he went to find Lynn in the orchard, he found the it had been off.
Last night, he thought about it and believed the biggest possibility was that it was lost in Lynn’s room, more likely in her bed because that night, he slept with the shirt inside.
Benson glanced around and looked at the ground, but there were no buttons as the bed was already covered with a quilt, so he couldn’t see it.
Looking at Lynn’s wary expression, he gave up, thinking probably she didn’t realize that the button was his.
Looking back, Benson said decisively, “It’s nothing. If you don’t want to go back on foot, just get downstairs and get into the car.”
Then he turned to strid away while Lynn frowned and put the buttons in the tote bag.
After returning, Lynn went directly to the hospital to visit her grandmother.
Walking into her grandma’s ward, Lynn called happily, “Grandma, I brought you oranges. It’s your favorite.”
Her grandma was awake today, which was rare. She was leaning on the hospital bed and chatting with Maggie.
“Lynn, come here. Maggie is right. Lynn, the scar on your face is really healed.” Her grandma hurriedly pulled Lynn over and looked at her kindly.
“Miss Miller, I told your grandmother about your face, and she was so happy that she felt much better.”
Lynn’s grandma touched Lynn’s face lightly with her rough pale, her eyes filled with cloudy tears.
“It’s good to have no scars, and you’ll be less scorned by others. Even if I’m going to die now, I’ll be relieved. I heard that The Warners are one of the largest families with many rules, so if you are wronged, tell me and don’t bear it alone.”
Lynn was touched, “Don’t say anything unlucky, grandma. You will live long. Come to eat the orange. I have tasted it and it’s very sweet.”
…
In the evening, Lynn had dinner with her grandmother and sat for a long time. Under the urging of her grandmother, Lynn reluctantly left the hospital and went home.
As soon as she entered the door, the smile that Lynn had from the hospital froze. Feeling the freezing atmosphere in the villa, she sensed a piercing gaze hit her in the living room.
Looking over, she saw Chelsea sat sullenly in the living room and stared at her while Katrina was also there.
Chelsea said angrily, “Come here. Why do you come back so late? Do you think our home is a market? You’re so disobedient at all.”
Lynn recalled that the only time Chelsea smiled at herself was at her grandma’s birthday party. At that time, she didn’t have the scar on her face anymore, which shocking everyone and she was overjoyed.
“I was at the hospital with my grandmother, so I came back a bit late.” Lynn paced over and explained calmly.
“How could a woman with a vicious mind like you still have the intention to accompany your grandmother? You think it’s easy to cheat me, right? But what I want to ask today is another matter. When you were playing outside, you pushed Katrina into the lake and almost drowned her. How could you be so cruel?”
Katrina was like a delicate and pitiful little white flower, sitting softly and weakly, with a pair of teary eyes. Whoever saw her would pity on her.
Rumbling, rumbling…
Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder outside, followed by pouring rain. Lynn was surprised, staring at the transparent glass window and the billowing lightning.
Boom!
“Ah.” Katrina was shocked and exclaimed, feeling that the lightning was about to penetrate through the glass window and hit her.
Chelsea was also stunned for a moment, “Are you afraid of lightning, Katrina?”
“No, no.” Katrina shook her head.
Lynn looked away at Katrina and smiled.
“Did the lightnings come so quickly to warn someone not to defend herself for her evil behavior?”
Katrina looked very bad and looked at Chelsea nervously.
“Mrs. Warner, everything Katrina said is true. Do you still want to deny pushing me into the lake, Lynn? Benson saw it all.”
Chelsea was successfully persuaded by her, “Katrina, don’t worry. I believe you.”
“Lynn, you are so unscrupulous. How could you be so arrogant when doing something wrong? Let me tell you that I’m in charge of this villa. Grab her and throw her out. I must let her get rid of this fake audacity.”
Immediately, someone stepped forward to hold Lynn’s arm.
“Young lady, sorry.”
“Let me go.” Lynn broke free soon and took a step forward.
“Mrs. Warner, I know you and Katrina have a very good relationship and you’ll believe everything she says. But it’s a pity that after so many years, you haven’t seen her as a person with ulterior motives. How sad. Yes, I admit that I kicked her into the lake, but did she say about her rocking me in the head?”
“I’ve always been sincere to Mrs. Warner, but you actually said that I had ulterior motives. Lynn, you are clearly the one with ulterior motives. Mrs. Warner, she is slandering me. I didn’t stone her in the head, I really didn’t.”
Katrina waved her hands and burst into crying while Lynn rolled her eyes, thinking Katrina must have taken acting lessons.
Chelsea was so furious that she couldn’t hear a word from Lynn when hearing Lynn said she was pathetic.
“What kind of thing are you? How dare you to criticize me? You force me to expose all your ugly things. You not only kicked Katrina into the lake, but also flirted with other men.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Did you know that it was already your super honor to marry into our The Warners? I think that you are a disrespectful woman and not worthy of a strand of my son’s hair. No wonder you are a child without a mother. You’re really kitsch.”
Lynn suddenly raised her head and smiled, not expecting that Chelsea, as a high-class woman, could speak so ruthlessly.
