Chapter 216 Still a Stunning Beauty


    "Your face will probably feel itchier for two more weeks. It happens when the wounds are healing. The


    traditional medicines are working their charm. But never scratch with your hand. You need to bear with


    it."


    "Yes, I understand."


    After she removed the gauze, Anna Xu prepared a fewrge-sized face masks that could totally cover


    more than half of Linda''s face. It helped that her face was small.


    Once she wore the face mask, Linda realized she could go out without attracting much attention. The


    only visible marks are the two scars on her forehead.


    But Anna still found the two scars on Linda''s forehead unnerving.

    Linda put on a face mask, as well as a jacket with a hood. Everything seemed fine.


    "My Lady, let me introduce you to the Nn n and show you around the mansion!" Nelson Li said.


    In thest few days, Nelson Li had been following Lord Nn on his visits to Linda. Linda has heard


    Richard Nn calling him young Nelson. At first, she assumed that he belonged to the Nn n and


    was of her same generation. So she called him Nel.


    But she found outter that Nelson was the butler of the Nn n. He had always been at Richard''s


    service. Nevertheless, she kept on calling him Nel. For Linda, status was not a big deal.


    "Ok, Nel. Sorry to trouble you."


    Nelson smiled. He liked Linda even more now. He felt that she was very different from the otherdies


    of the n, who were were haughty, temperamental, unruly and obnoxiously arrogant.


    When Linda stepped outside, she still felt the chill. It might be because of the thin clothes. Besides, she


    was still in recovery mode and her body was still sensitive to the cold temperature. So Linda asked


    Anna for a coat.


    "Anna, do you have something warmer to put on? I feel a bit cold."


    "My Lady, my coat is in theundry now. I only have a cotton coat usually worn by the Nn n''s


    servants. Do you want it?"


    "That''s fine. As long as it''s warm."


    Anna then went inside and fetched a white coat which had a hood attached to it. Linda put the coat on


    along with its hood. Now she felt warm. She then followed Nelson.


    The Nn vi appeared quaint and vintage. The architecture seemed to be modeled after antique


    Chinese buildings.


    At Linda''s private residence, there was a que hanging by the door. Written on it was "Linda''s


    Garden." Linda couldn''t help but feel surprised.


    "Nel, when did they hang this que here? How did my name get there?"


    Linda smiled and asked. It did not look like a new addition. The que seemed to have weathered


    quite some rains and storms. There was visible wear and tear on it.


    "No, My Lady. As far as I know, the ques around here have been up for over a decade. As for why it


    bears your name, it''s probably because Lord Nn arranged your current residence very long ago. The


    Nelson exined to Linda in detail. He also exined theyout of the whole area of the Nn vi.


    It took them about half an hour to walk around the vi. It was really quite huge. Linda followed Nelson


    all the way. She was struggling to breathe after some time.


    Nelson saw her difficulty. He asked: "Mdy, do you want to rest a little in the garden over there? The


    Nn n indeed has an immense vi area with a diameter of three kilometers! We''ve walked one


    kilometer already. Your body''s still in recovery. Why don''t we take a break?"


    Linda did feel tired by the walk. She nodded and said: "OK."


    "What a pretty garden! So many plum blossoms here!"


    "Yes, My Lady. His Lordship really likes plum blossoms, so he nted a lot of them here. This garden


    is called the Plum Garden."


    Linda and Nelson strolled casually in the garden. Smelling the fragrance of the plum blossoms, Linda


    increasingly felt that this garden suited her.


    She closed her eyes and stood in front of a plum tree. Then she leaned her head towards the flowers,


    lightly inhaling the vibrant scent of the plum blossoms. She went on to take a deep breath and no


    longer wanted to open her eyes.


    Nelson stood nearby. Looking at this beautiful scene that seemed to have walked out of a painting, he


    couldn''t help but freeze. He had seen Linda Xia''s photos before.


    But the first time he actually encountered her was when he rescued her out of the river that day. The


    scene of the rescue was extremely brutal, as Linda''s face was swollen because the corrosive river


    water had seeped into her wounds.


    A month has passed. He didn''t expect her to recover so quickly. At this moment, even though she was


    standing there covered in a face mask and a hood, and the two scars on her forehead were still clearly


    showing, her beauty was still pratingly heart-stirring.


    After a long while, Linda finally spoke, "Nel, does the Nn estate have a ce that stores books? I''d


    like to read something."
