Chapter 476 There was No Retreat
Linda understood Bun''s worries. Brian''s missions were always dangerous because most of them were
confidential and rted to national interests. Brian had to risk his life in order to fulfill his duty to his
country. Bun was worried that Brian might get wounded or even lose his life. She was scared that it
might be theirst farewell.
"Two months will be over soon. But, My Lady, Bun and Brian have just gotten married. They are still in
their honeymoon phase. It is normal for them to not be able to live apart from each other, " Anna
teased.
Linda then held Bun''s shoulders andforted her, "Don''t worry. Brian is a very strong and clever
man. He would surelye back in one piece. Just stay here with me in the next two months. My
babies would be born by then. When Brianes back, he will be my twins'' sworn father."

Bun thought that Linda was right. Since Brian had gone on a mission, she could stay with Linda and
ensure her safety in thest two months of her pregnancy.
As the Lady of the Mu n, Linda was always in a dangerous position. There were always people who
would have evil intentions against Linda. The following two months would be a crucial period for her, so
Bun felt that she was obligated to protect Linda well.
"My Lady, your babies would be born soon. Let me protect you in these two months!" Bun said with a
smile.
Linda nodded in agreement. Indeed, she felt much more relieved if Bun stayed by her side. After all,
Ron and the other bodyguards were all men, so it was inconvenient for them to protect a pregnant
woman in some respects.
"Oh, right. I have to visit the Nn n''s house tonight. Bun, could you and Annae with me? I
want to stay there for a couple of days to keep my grandfatherpany, " said Linda.
"Yes, My Lady, " said Bun.
Bun had just gotten back from her honeymoon, so she went out to unpack her luggage first. They were
all going to set out at about four o''clock in the afternoon.
Linda felt sleepy after she had finished her congee, so she decided to take a nap.
In the Huo n''s vi
Lisa Xia felt like there was a swarm of ants biting and crawling all over her body.
It was very tormenting for Lisa to get rid of her drug addiction, but on top of that, she had to make sure
that she wouldn''t get caught by Robert Huo. Lisa realized that these two months were the most
unforgettable days in her life. It was even more tormenting than the days when she was under Adam
Huo''s torture.
But Lisa had no choice but to endure it. Every time she thought of surrendering to her drug addiction,
she would think about Robert and the happiness of having a healthy baby with him. With this on her
mind, Lisa was motivated and determined to battle her vice. She clenched her teeth and tried to
manage with all her efforts to carry on destroying her drug habits.
Time slowly passed by, and it had been already two months since Lisa had started to fight against her
drug addiction. During these two months, Robert felt his heart ache for Lisa. He didn''t know why Lisa
was getting thinner and weaker day by day. Her face had been looking pale, too.
Robert wanted to take Lisa to the hospital and have her go through a thorough check-up. But Lisa
refused to do so.
Lisa simply exined that she was just feeling tired and frustrated because of the hot summer weather.
She told Robert that she would be fine when summer was over.
"Lisa,e on. You have to hold on. Things will be over soon, and you are going to win. If you persist
for one more month, you willpletely get rid of your drug addiction and be sober, " Vincent Zhou
said to Lisa.
The drug withdrawal symptoms were attacking Lisa again. Shey prone on the floor, wearing an
anguished face. Vincent felt so sad to see her like this. But he could do nothing to help her. Lisa could
only depend on herself.
This was the most difficult period to endure after the initial treatments. Her drug addiction would have
rpses from time to time during this month. If Lisa could get through all of them, she would seed in
abandoning the drug addiction.
Now, beads of sweat were trickling down Lisa''s forehead. Her face went deathly pale. She was unable
to utter a single word because of the great pain. Before, when the drug addiction attacked, the pain
would be over in about two hours. However, this time, it was already three hours, but she was still
feeling pain all over her body.
Lisa was beginning to have hallucinations. A lot of voices and whispers were echoing in her mind.
"Give up!" "Just take a little drug this time." "Have a bit of it. It''s okay." She was battling these
psychological temptations.
"No, no. I can''t give up. I must get rid of my addiction. I must have a happier life than Linda Xia!"
"I want a baby with Robert. We will live happily forever."
Lisa kept muttering all these words, trying to encourage herself.
Another two hours passed by. Vincent was still sitting on a corner, helplessly watching Lisa fight against
the pain on her own. Vincent had asked the doctor about it, and the doctor said that this was the most
difficult phase of the rehabilitation. If Lisa could ovee it, she would gradually feel better in the
following month and she would soonpletely get rid of the addiction.
Drugs were a dangerous vice, but Adam Huo was so vicious to have made Lisa addicted to them.
Vincent really hated Adam with a passion because of this.
But Adam had already paid for what he had done. They had already killed him, dismembered his body,
and threw the parts in an unknown forest to feed to the wild beasts. Adam deserved it.
Finally, the pain began to ease. Lisa was drenched in her sweat.
"Brother, I''ve gotten through it. I am winning this. But, oh, it was so tormenting!" Lisa said lweakly.
Teardrops fell down her cheeks and onto the floor because Lisa was too exhausted to wipe off her
tears.
Sympathetically, Vincent helped Lisa stand up from the floor andforted her, "Things will get better
and better. The doctor said that this would be the most difficult time. It won''t be as tormenting in the
next following days."
"Really? Oh, thank god! I really wouldn''t be able to endure it a second time. It''s so terrible!"
"It seems that you really love Robert Huo very much, " said Vincent.
Lisa grinned and nodded. "Yes, I love Robert very much. Before, I''ve always thought that I love Young
Master Mu. But now, I realized that I might have just been attracted toward him because he was an
outstanding man in society. I adored him, but it wasn''t true love. It''s different from my feelings toward
Robert."
"Yes, I think so." Vincent nodded in agreement. Lisa was young and impulsive at the time. She had
always behaved absurdly without thinking things through. Now, after having experienced so many
things, she had be more mature andposed. Life, indeed, didn''t treat her so well.
"But Lisa, I want to remind you. Have you really considered it? Robert loves Linda Xia, not you. Is he
worth it?"
Vincent frowned and hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to ask the question that he had
always wanted to ask. Lisa was his only sister, one of his only remaining family members now, so
Vincent didn''t want her to regret it.
Lisa nodded her head. She was not going to back away from this one.
"It''s worth it. Look. If I wasn''t with Robert, he would''ve been very distressed because he couldn''t get
Linda. I love him, and I want him to be happy. I look like Linda now, so he is happy to be together with
me. As long as we can stay with each other and get what we want, it''s totally okay."
Vincent understood that Lisa was crazily in love with Robert, and she would do anything for him. He
sighed and patted Lisa''s shoulders, saying, "Okay, fine. Do whatever you want as long as you are
happy. Okay, Robert would be back soon. Go take a shower. You look like you''ve fallen into a river."
