Chapter 124 Linsey, Tell Me


    The Truth!


    Instead of going straight home from the hospital, Linsey decided to stop by the Grester Public Library, which was


    conveniently located nearby.


    Her knowledge about massage was limited.


    If she truly wanted to help Collin regain the use of his legs she needed to learn


    more.


    She entered the library and headed straight for the medical section, where she found several books on massage therapy.


    She settled down at a table and began to read,pletely absorbed in her task.


    Linsey was determined to help Collin walk again. It wasn''t just an empty promise; she meant it with all her heart.


    If Collin could walk again, maybe he wouldn''t have to endure the constant mockery and disdain from the Riley family.


    She was determined to learn everything she could. She spent the entire day at the library, only taking a short break for a


    quick lunch at a nearby cafe.


    Lost in her studies, she didn''t even notice the time passing by.


    Before leaving the library, she bought a few books on massage therapy that she thought would be helpful.


    When Linsey returned to Vista Vi, Jos greeted her at the door. "Mrs. Riley, we have a guest."


    "A guest?" Linsey asked, confused. "Who is it? Are they here to see me?"


    "Yes, ma''am," Josh confirmed. "A youngdy is waiting for you in the living room." Linsey immediately thought of Dolores.


    She hurried into the living room, and there was Dolores, sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.


    "Dolores!" Linsey eximed, her face breaking into a wide smile as she sat down next to her. "Why didn''t you tell me you


    wereing? Have you been waiting long? What brings you here?"


    To Linsey''s surprise, Dolores didn''t smile back. Her face was clouded with anger.


    "Do you really not know why I''m here?" Dolores demanded, her eyes fixed on Linsey with a furious intensity. "Linsey, tell


    me the truth!"


    Her voice held a trace of anger, but the worry and slight panic in her eyes revealed her true emotions.


    Linsey recoiled slightly, a flicker of unease crossing her face. "What are you talking about?"


    After a brief hesitation, she instinctively tried to deflect. "Dolores, are you hungry? What do you fancy? I''ll have the kitchen staff whip something up. They''re fantastic cooks."

    Chapter 124 Linsey, Tell Me The Truth!


    "Linsey, I came all this way, and you''re still trying to keep me in the dark?" Dolores snapped, grabbing Linsey''s arm before she could react. Yanking up Linsey''s sleeve, she found, as expected, a horrifying sight. Deep scars marring Linsey''s delicate wrist, alongside an array of bruises and cuts of varying sizes scattered across her arm.


    In that instant, all of Dolores''s anger vanished, reced by a wave of heartache. "Oh my God, Linsey! Does it hurt?"


    Hearing the slight tremor in Dolores''s voice, Linsey felt a lump form in her own throat.


    Ever since they were children, Dolores had always been her primary source offort whenever she was hurt or upset.


    "It stopped hurting ages ago," Linsey replied, forcing a smile and trying to hide the pain in her voice.


    As Dolores stared at Linsey''s injuries, any lingering angerpletely evaporated. Her eyes were filled with nothing but pain


    and sorrow.


    "I saw the news about Felix''s arrest," Dolores eximed, her voice filled with worry. "It said he was involved in a


    kidnapping, and I immediately thought of you. I rushed over here as fast as I could. My gut feeling was right! That scumbag


    Felix! I should have pped him harder when I had the chance!"


    Linsey gently reassured her. "Dolores, it''s alright now. Felix has been sentenced, and I wasn''t really in any danger. I didn''t


    tell you because I didn''t want you to worry. You''re always so busy, and I didn''t want this to add to your stress."


    "No work is more important than you," Dolores insisted, her voiceced with hurt. "Linsey, you''ve really upset me this


    time. How could you keep something like this from me?"


    Sensing Dolores''s rising anger, Linsey quickly tried to soothe her, saying,


    "Dolores, I was wrong to keep this from you. I


    promise it won''t happen again."


    As they were talking, the sound of a car engine cutting off outside caught their attention.


    Collin had returned.
