A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 250 Disaster by the Pond

"Do you know how to play go, Linda?" Lily asked, out of the blue.

Linda was taken aback for a second, "Yeah, I do!"

She certainly wasn't a master of the game but only knew the basics.

"Let's play a round! It's still early." Lily then suggested.

"Okay." Linda nodded.

"Luckily we have a great view here in the plum garden, and it's not very windy today. Out here, we can

enjoy the magical scenery while looking at the plum blossoms in the cold breeze. It's such a nice

location."

"Great, wait for me! I'll go get Nelson. The Nalan villa is huge, and surely they must have a set of go!"

For some reason, Lily's words sounded less sincere. Her eyes strayed from Linda as well.

It turned out Lily just wanted to find Nelson. It was a clever excuse that made Linda chuckle. She didn't

point out Lily's pretense, but simply nodded and said, "Go on. I'll be here waiting for you."

Lily then trotted out of the plum garden.

Feeling bored, Linda crouched down by the pond and looked at the fish in the water. Because of the

chilly weather, all the fish stayed at the bottom of the pond, and none of them would surface.

The water in the pond was somewhat warmer.

Next to the pond was a mounted chest filled with left-over grains. Everyday, the servants came by and

fed the fish.

Right on cue, one of them walked towards Linda.

Linda waved at them, "You can go now. I'll feed the fish today."

The servant nodded and carefully reminded Linda that she shouldn't feed too much to them.

The fish would never feel full, so they would eat as much as they were fed. They could easily die

because of this. Such common sense was not alien to Linda. She nodded to the servant to the

affirmative.

The servant left as Linda grabbed a handful of the fish food, and started feeding the fish.

One had to admit, they looked quite pretty. 'No wonder Richard Nalan treasured them, ' she thought as

she watched them eat.

Suddenly, Linda felt someone push her, and she tumbled straight into the pond.

The moment she fell into the pond, Linda turned and saw a figure dressed in white running away. Then,

the person bumped their foot into a stone bench and fell on the ground.

But they didn't dare stay a second longer, fearing that Linda would see their face. The figure stood up

and started running again, far away from Linda's sight.

Who pushed her into the pond?

Linda couldn't help but feel upset.

'Why do bad things keep happening to me?' thought Linda.

When Linda fell into the pond, she noticed immediately that something was off. The pond didn't seem Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

deep because the water was really clear, but it was at least two meters deep.

She had thought that even if she were to fall, the water would not be above her waist. However, Linda

couldn't reach the bottom of the pond even when she stretched out her legs.

After taking a deep breath, Linda calmed down. Luckily she knew how to swim.

Slowly she swam to the edge of the pond. As Linda was climbing out, her calf started cramping.

The weather was too cold at that time of night. In the water, it was almost below zero degrees. Linda

was pregnant, so her body was not in its best form and cramped easily.

Her heart sank. Linda didn't dare move anymore. She started sinking back into the water. Out of

options, Linda started screaming for help, "Help! Anybody?"

"Help! Anyone there?"

Linda screamed loudly, yet no servant came by.

The plum garden was usually forbidden to the servants. Unless they were cleaning or feeding the fish,

the servants were not allowed in there.

Linda's body became stiff. The water was too cold and one of her legs was numb already.

Her whole body slowly sank.

She couldn't remember the times that she escaped death in the water.

The first time, she was thrown into the river from a giant crane and barely survived.

The second time, Amy carved her face and threw her into the river, and she managed to survive again.

This was the third time. Was she going to die in this little pond? Linda hated herself. Why did her calf

have to cramp at this moment?

"Linda! Linda!"

Dazed and confused, Linda felt her consciousness slipping away, but she heard Lily's voice. Lily was

calling out to her by the pond.

At this moment, Lily couldn't be more nervous.

Just now, when she had left Linda and exited the plum garden, Lily was failed by her sense of direction.

She forgot whether she should turn left or right to go to Nelson. So she walked back and wanted to ask

Linda for the right direction.

When she came back, Lily couldn't have expected to see Linda flopping in the water. And from the

looks of it, she had been in the pond for a while.

Linda was within an inch off her life. The scene terrified Lily.

Amidst the confusion, Linda opened her eyes and saw Lily. Yet her throat felt too tight to let any voice

pass through. She didn't have any strength left.

"Linda, how are you? Are you okay? Just hang in there, I'll get someone to rescue you. I can't swim. If I

jump in, I will be of no use.

Linda, please don't close your eyes. Hold on a bit longer, please, you must hold on.

Linda!"

Linda was no longer responsive, but subconsciously she was able to make her body float on the pond

so that no water would enter her nose.

Lily quickly sprinted outside. With all the nerves on heightened alert, Lily's memory became so clear.

She suddenly remembered where Nelson lived. 'Turn left from the plum garden, then turn right, and two

hundred meters straight head'.

Lily swore that she had never run so fast, not even during her PE exams.

When she got to Nelson's place, Lily banged on it with all her strength.

"Nelson, Nelson! Are you there? Nelson, you gotta come out quickly!"
