Chapter 405 Caught In A Dilemma


    After Adam finished speaking, he walked away.


    Not long after he left, Lisa got a phone call. It wasn''t from Adam this time. It was from Robert.


    "Where have you been, my dear? What''s taking you so long? Are you not feeling well?" Robert said in


    a soft voice at the other end of the line.


    "No, I''m fine. I''ming back now, " answered Lisa.


    Before Robert''s call, she had been sitting on the floor, almost crying her eyes out. Robert wondered


    why she had been gone for so long, so he called her to make sure that she was okay. Lisa managed to


    stand up from the floor. Her hand as well as her chest were very painful. There was a big, red handprint


    on her face.


    Adam had hit her too hard. Wasn''t he afraid that Robert would notice the wound or the handprint?


    Robert saw the red handprint on Lisa''s face right after she walked back to the waiting room. Her


    forehead was also bleeding. Although the wound had been cleaned up, it was evident on her face.


    Robert panicked. He tried to find out what had happened to her. Lisa said that she went to the


    bathroom. What had happened? Why was there a red handprint on her face?


    Robert held Lisa in his arms right away. He ced his hand on her cheek and said, "What happened to


    you?"


    "The bathroom floor was wet, so I slipped and hit my head against the sink by ident. It''s not a big


    deal, " Lisa shook her head and said.


    "How clumsy of you. You must be more careful next time!" Robert said worriedly.


    Just then, an attendant opened the VIP room''s door. Smiling at them, he said, "Mr. Huo, Miss. Xia, the


    airline has announced the departure of your flight. Boarding will be closed in 15 minutes. Please have


    your belongings and tickets ready and go to the boarding gate."


    "Let''s go, Linda.


    Our flight is now ready for boarding. We should get on the ne."


    "I''m not feeling very well now, Robert. Can we go next time? Let''s go home now, shall we? I don''t want


    to leave like this."


    Robert understood what she had meant. Leaving everything behind was very hard for her. After all, she


    had a very close rtionship with Charles before. The reason she wasn''t feeling well might have


    something to do with him. Robert didn''t think about it any further since he loved Linda so much. He


    simply said, "Okay, let''s go home. We will have our trip some other time. I will go anywhere with you."


    "I love you, Robert, " said Lisa. She didn''t know what else to say. She knew that Robert treated her


    very well, but she also knew that the one Robert loved was Linda Xia, not Lisa Xia.


    On their way back, Lisa hesitated for a long time, but then she spoke eventually, "Robert, if I have lied


    to you about something, what would you do?"


    Robert was shocked at the question. He wondered if Linda had hidden something from him, Or if she

    had regretted leaving Charles for him. Robert thought that Linda might still love Charles. He knew well


    that if Charles hadn''t left her in the first ce, he wouldn''t have had the chance to be with Linda.


    Robert felt bitterness in his heart. Was he just a rebound guy?


    "Linda, do you want to go back to Charles?" Robert asked in response.


    Lisa shook her head at once and said, "No, I don''t. I''ve never thought of getting back with Charles. You


    must believe me. You are the one I love now."


    Robert''s face softened by what Lisa had said.


    "So what did you mean by that? Have you lied to me?"


    "I can''t exin it to you now. But please, believe in me. Robert, I truly love you. Even if you find out that


    I have lied to you, please don''t leave me for that. Please don''t."


    Although Robert didn''t understand what Linda was talking about, he thought that she might have her


    own problems that she couldn''t share with him at this moment. "Don''t worry. I won''t leave you as long


    as you are not lying about loving me, " Robert said in distress


    Robert believed that Linda wouldn''t lie about her feelings to him. If she didn''t love him, why would she


    want to stay with him? At the very beginning, Linda had rejected him coldly. At that time, she was with


    someone else, and she didn''t want to hurt his feelings.


    Rejecting other men when she was with someone else showed that she was a loyal girl who was


    serious about her rtionships, right?


    "Thank you, Robert, " said Lisa. Opening her arms, she gave him a big hug and a kiss on his face.


    Kissing her on her cheek in reply, he said, "You silly girl, you don''t need to thank me for something like


    that. Let''s go. I will apany you to Charles''s wedding. I want to ask him how he could do something


    that terrible to you. You are my love. I won''t allow him to hurt you and treat you like a fool anymore."


    Lisa was caught in a dilemma. If Robert went to the wedding with her, he might find out about the truth


    that there were two Lindas. After all, she was the fake Linda Xia. If Young Master Mu revealed the truth


    in front of Robert, Robert might not believe her no matter what she said.


    Robert''s phone rang while Lisa was trying to think of something to stop Robert from going with her.


    Robert took out his phone. It was from Adam.


    "What''s wrong, Adam?"


    Robert answered the call, wondering why his brother would call him now.


    "Hello, is this Mr. Huo?" There was a strange voice at the other end of the line. Robert had a bad


    feeling about it.


    "Yes. Who is it?"


    "I''m a doctor from XH Hospital. Are you Adam Huo''s brother?"


    "Yes, I am."


    "Your brother is in our hospital now. He was sent here by strangers on the street. It seemed that he


    cked out. We found his phone with him, and we found your number on his contacts marked as


    ''brother'', so we gave you a call."


    "Oh my god! Is he okay?"


    "We''re not sure yet. We hope you cane to the hospital as soon as possible."


    Lisa was standing close, next to Robert, so she heard the conversation clearly. As expected, Adam had


    thought it through. It seemed that Adam hade up with something to get Robert away from her.


    She would never believe that Adam really passed out. He was kicking her so hard a while ago.


    Because of it, she felt dizzy, almost passing out just then in the bathroom. There was no way that he


    was sick now.


    "Is there something that happened to Adam? You don''t need to worry about me. I can go to the


    wedding by myself. You should go take good care of Adam now, " Lisa said cautiously.


    Now, Robert was caught in a dilemma. Today was very important for Linda and him.


    He wanted to go to the wedding and confront Charles with Linda, but his brother was in the hospital


    now. He loved Adam dearly. He got very worried when he knew that Adam cked out. He wanted to


    go the hospital right away to find out what illness Adam was suffering from since the doctor didn''t say


    much on the phone.
