Chapter 292 Amy Couldn''t Get Away With It


    There was a botanical garden 10 kilometres from the Nn mansion in SH City.


    It was half an hour''s drive to get there without traffic congestion.


    When Lord Richard heard that Linda was going to go sketching, he arranged five body guards for her


    protection. Linda and Lily were amused since having a group of bodyguards around would definitely


    make a scene.


    Linda wanted to keep a low profile, But she followed Lord Richard''s advice just in case. After all, she


    was pregnant with child.


    In March, all the flowers were still in their buds.


    "It''s boring! There''s nothing to sketch about buds. We should wait at least until April. I just don''t


    understand my teacher''s purpose, " Linda glowered. "Not really. Your teacher may want you to explore


    something different. The flowers are preparing to bloom. Though in buds, they''re still beautiful, " Linda


    refuted.


    "Let''s hope so."


    Linda and Lily strolled along theke. The water was limpid, and there were a lot of benches where


    visitors could rest. Linda felt tired after walking for about ten minutes.


    She sighed at how easily fatigued she was during pregnancy. She was already exhausted without


    walking that far.


    "Let''s have a good rest on the bench, My Lady, " Nelson was thoughtful enough to have brought a


    cushion for Linda and Lily.


    "Shall I sit here to sketch? I think it''s a picturesque scene. We''ve got ake, a wide expanse of


    sprawling trees, and quaint little bridge."


    "Good idea!" Linda agreed.


    Lily sat on thewn, pulled out the sketchpad, and squeezed a bit of ink on the brush. With everything


    ready, she had set out to work.


    Linda sat next to her, watching Lily draw with great interest.


    The five body guards were scattered, keeping their distance, while Nelson stood near the girls to


    ensure their security.


    While drawing, Lily started a conversation with Linda.


    "What do you think is the point of sketching, Linda?"


    "The point? Well, you can capture all the beauty of mother nature with your own eyes and disy it on


    the paper with your brush. I can''t do that. I think you''re good at it. You''re awesome! I can only keep


    mental pictures of it."


    Amused by her response, she turned around, with the breeze ruffling her hair, and said, "You said the


    same thing my professor had said. It''s like a standard answer."


    "Then what do you think?" Linda threw the question back.


    "As far as I''m concerned, it''s all for the diploma, " Linda burst intoughter.


    Nelson couldn''t help butugh, "Seriously? That''s the only reason why you''re doing it?"


    "Yeah! How could I support the family without a diploma? Can I count on you?"


    Nelson replied with a serious face, "Of course you can!"


    All of sudden, Lily''s face was stern. She tried to avoid meeting Nelson''s eyes and concentrated on the


    drawing. The truth was, she was shocked by his frankness.


    Noticing her blushing face, Nelson asked with a trace of smile at the corner of his mouth, "How about


    it?"


    Seeing the two love birds having a romantic moment, Linda prayed they wouldn''t encounter so many


    difficulties, just as Charles and herself did.


    She had wanted to have a simple life, away from the battles among the affluent and powerful ns.


    But since the moment she fell in love with Charles, she was destined to be dragged into the arena.


    Now she knew that her dream of a simple life would never be a reality.


    When Lily almost finished, Linda found her a hidden master since she was really skilled.


    Admiring the invitingndscape on the paper, Linda hoped to create a simr masterpiece someday.


    "Wow. That''s amazing! Can you teach m-"


    Before Linda finished her sentence, a loud ssh was heard. Someone seemed to have fallen into the


    water.


    "Help! Help me!"


    "What''s going on?" Linda felt strange.


    There was a long rail standing along the bank to keep the visitors in a safe distance.


    "Nel, go and check what''s happening, please."


    "Yes, My Lady."


    With that, he ran to the scene, spotting one man standing by the bank and the other floundering in the


    water.


    The man shouted, "Help us! Please help My Lady! She can''t swim and neither can I. Help us, please!"


    When Nelson saw the drowningdy, he took off his coat and jumped into the river to pull her out.


    As they made it to the bank, Nelson found thedy familiar. It was Sarah Shen.


    "Things were not simple since Sarah was at present." he thought to himself. As a result, he ran back to


    report to Linda.


    "My Lady, do you know who just fell into theke?"


    "Who?"


    "Sarah Shen."

    "Why''s she here?" Linda turned her sight to the noisy crowd. Since it was in the distance, she could


    only see two blurred shadows.


    "I don''t know what they are brewing? But as Sarah was here, I think there must be something."


    "Never mind. Let''s see what she''s capable of, " Linda said with a smirk.


    Lily continued to draw. Sarah Shen spitted out mouthfuls of water after being saved. It was hard for her


    to pretend that she couldn''t swim. Since Nelson was hesitant to save her, she drank more water to


    make it believable.


    And it worked.
