Free Web NovelChapter 897: Chapter 338: If Only Time Could Turn Back (Part 7)_3
"The marriage within a wealthy family is truly pathetic. The company is in deep water and fire, yet the son-in-law who could change it all remains indifferent, never showing up from start to finish. Though not interfering might be the righteous act, it’s... still shocking."
"Alas, who wouldn’t agree? Poor Miss Lin, she’s so young, hasn’t even graduated, and encounters such a thing. After all, she is married to the president of Lu Family, yet she is completely left out when disaster strikes."
"That girl had blood on her face and hands, wearing what seemed to be sleepwear. She probably had no idea. Regardless, Lin Zongjun is dead, we still hope she can be safe."
"..."

Morning has come.
A circle of onlookers surrounded the area, pointing, discussing, with voices rising and falling.
The unconscious Lin Chu still clung tightly to the stiff and cold Lin Zongjun. The police, alerted by the report, struggled to pull her away and handed her over to the doctor.
Sitting in a car parked in the corner was Lu Zhengmao.
He watched the tightly encircled death scene in the distance, his calm dark eyes unchanged.
He withdrew his gaze and coldly instructed the driver, "Follow the ambulance."
The driver responded respectfully, "Yes."
...
Hospital.
"Mrs. Lu..."
Detecting the sharp gaze above him, the doctor seemed suddenly reminded of something and hurriedly corrected, "The blood on Miss Lin isn’t hers. These days, she must have been working endlessly and, combined with her excessive grief, she fainted, but there’s no major issue."
Lu Zhengmao lightly nodded, "Hmm."
"And..." The doctor pursed his lips and continued bravely, "Miss Lin is pregnant. Her current condition is not good, showing signs of a potential miscarriage."
Pregnant...
Lu Zhengmao’s gaze instantly darkened.
"I don’t want a third person to know about this, especially Lu Huai’an. If one day it reaches his ears..."
It was a threat.
Cold sweat trickled down the doctor’s forehead as he solemnly assured, "Rest assured, I will take it to my grave."
Lu Zhengmao’s indifferent gaze shifted toward the direction of the hospital bed, narrowing his eyes in contemplation.
Still unconscious, quietly abort the child, no one will know.
But there’s no wall without cracks in the world, even if his threat works now, it can’t ensure it will always be effective.
If Huai’an finds out, it could be troublesome...
He made a decision and instructed, "Arrange a car to take her to the Lu Family Villa."
The doctor nodded, "Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."

Bzz... bzz... bzz...
The phone vibrated repeatedly, dragging Lin Chu out of her nightmare.
She opened her eyes, like slow-motion in a movie, her blurred and hazy vision gradually cleared.
Very strange, yet oddly familiar.
The vibrating phone was held in her hand, with congealed blood stains in the corner crevices.
The incoming call had no name labeled, and the phone screen showed it was already three days after that night.
"Mrs. Lu, hello. Your father’s body has been held by the police for three days now; when do you plan to come?" freёwebnovel.com
The caller said this to her.
So, none of it was a dream.
The dearly loving Mr. Lin didn’t take her away either.
...
The wardrobe had women’s clothing. Lin Chu took out a black dress. She had lost a lot of weight, making the dress hang loosely on her.
Upon leaving the bedroom, she realized this was the Lu Family Villa.
Sure enough, Lin Chu was stopped by the servants. With Lu Zhengmao absent, the servants wouldn’t allow Lin Chu to leave.
Lin Chu seemed to understand the reason she was brought back to the Lu Family while she was unconscious.
When that man finished dealing with the guards at the door and walked up to her, she smiled and asked, "Lu Huai’an, are you satisfied now?"
Lin Chu suddenly recalled the wedding day. She held her father’s hand, in a white wedding dress, taking one step at a time toward him.
On that not-so-long path, she kept repeating the same line in her heart: Brother Huai’an, from now on, I entrust my future to you, with no way back.
Life offers no way back.
Therefore, time can’t be reversed either.
Lu Huai’an gazed at the girl’s pale face, his hoarse voice masked an imperceptible tremor beneath, "Xiao Chu..."
At the moment he met the girl’s desolate eyes, his raised hand froze.
Lin Chu stood on the two steps. Even though she was barefoot, she matched the man’s eye level.
She was still smiling, but her voice shattered into fragments.
"Didn’t you find my lying disgusting? So why call me? My dad had no other children, only me. I need to take him home. If Mr. Lu has nothing to say, could you please let me go? Dad has been at the police station for three days. If he waits any longer for me, he’ll be disappointed."
