Chapter 52: Chapter 52

"I can help you, Mr. Li," came a voice from their behind. Mr. Li was none other than Linda's father.

As Linda and her family turned back to find who was speaking, they found a lean man sitting on the chair next to the gambling lord.

Even the gambling lord was shocked by his words. He looked at the man sitting beside him with wide eyes. But he could not question him (the lean man) as he (the lean man) was in much higher positing than himself.

He then turned to Linda's father and spoke, "You are in luck. Thank him quickly."

Mr. Li quickly knelt on the group and bowed his head. "Thank you, thank you, Mr..." He trailed off as he didn't know the man's name.

"You don't have to know my name. And I don't help others without anything in return," the man replied in his emotionless voice.

"Then, wh- what can I do for you in return?" Linda's father asked in his shaky voice.

This time, the man looked at Linda and said, "I want something from your daughter."

This sentence alarmed Linda and her mother. But Mr. Li's eyes lit up. He thought if the man was interested in his daughter, then he can get more money. To his anger, Linda replied, "I don't sell my body." Linda's father face turned red in anger and was about to scold his daughter when the man spoke up again.

"You don't have to worry about it, girl. I will never be interested in you." As he said that, Linda's face scrunched up. What did he mean he will not be interested in her? Has he looked at his own face in the mirror first? But she did not have enough courage to say it to his face directly as he looked like a gangster.

"You can go home now. I will message you later what I want from you," the man spoke up again.

Linda wanted to ask further, but her father hurriedly dragged her from there afraid that the man will go back on his words.

Linda's face darkened after they walked out. She swatted her father's hand away from her and scolded him. "Are you crazy? How can you lose so much in a gamble? Even selling yourself later won't earn that much money."

Mr. Li grabbed her daughter by her hair and snarled, "You bitch. You work for such a rich family. Just a word from you, and they will gladly give you that much amount. So why are you acting as if you don't have a penny?"

Linda's mother quickly walked to help free her daughter, "What are you saying? Even if she works for them, she has a fixed salary. From where will she bring this much money?"

"You get away too," Mr. Li pushed his wife.

Finally, after some struggle, Linda freed herself from her father's grasp. She then walked out of the home without looking back. She wanted to return to Mo Mansion that very moment, but she did not know what to answer after returning. So, she made a decision to stay in some hotels for a few days, and only return to Mo Mansion after some time.

While she was resting in the hotel room at night, she was reminded of the man's words again. He had said that he would message her, but he did not have her mobile number. Linda relaxed at that. Since he did not know her number, she would have no way of contacting her. Only then did Linda relaxedly fall asleep.

She wanted to stay there for more days, but when she remembered that it was Xiao Hui's birthday, she made a haste decision to return back. But to her shock, her idol was already married. Not only Mo Shan, but every family member loved Yun Xi which made her jealous.

As the days passed by, Linda forgot about the man who had told her that he would contact her. But suddenly one day, a message popped up on her cell phone.

"I hope you haven't forgotten about your promise to me, which you made to save your father." The message made her shocked.

"How did you get my number?" She replied back.

"I can do much more than this, girl. So instead of asking me more questions, do as I say. Otherwise, this time, you will get to see your father's and mother's dead bodies." Seeing the message, her whole body turned cold, and she started shivering. She did not care about her father, but she was really close to her mother.

"What do you want me to do?" She asked with her hands trembling.

The next message made her drop her phone. It read, "You just have to do a simple thing. Inject something in your patient's body. As for what it is, come to Hotel Heath tomorrow, exactly at 10 am. A second late, and you will have to collect your parents' bodies."

Even though that person did not specify who the patient was, Linda knew he was referring to Old Madam Mo. Because currently, she only had one patient under her, and it was Old Madam Mo.

She wanted to inform Mo Shan about it, but before she could take a step, another message popped up. "Also, don't try to act smart. If you dare to tell it to anyone, it will be too late to regret the consequences."

That whole night, she could not sleep.

The next morning, she reached Hotel Heath half an hour earlier. The same person she had met as gambling lord's place came into view exactly at 10. He walked straight to her and gave her a vial that contained some liquid. "I want this liquid to enter her body anyhow. I don't care about the method, but I want the result." Having said that, the person left from there as if he was never there.

Linda was left shivering behind with the vial in her hand. It was up to her now which path she would take. One leads to her parents' death, and another to Old Madam Mo's health.
