NovelEnglishChapter 254 It Doesn’t Concern You
Linda’s eyes brightened, and she immediately gave Rose a thumbs up. “Mom, thank goodness you’re
my mother! You’re a genius!”
Linda chuckled and said, “Alright, you stay in the hospital and act your part. Do you know what you
need to do to keep Gareth by your side?”
Linda took a deep breath and nodded earnestly. “Mom, don’t worry. I won’t be careless like before. I will
make the most of this chance and marry him in two months!”
“Good. I have some other matters, so I can’t keep you company. You should call your assistant here.”
“Sure.”
Rose left right after that. Linda’s assistant, who was waiting outside, came in and said respectfully, “Ms.
Benett, do you require any assistance?”
Linda smiled. “It’s alright. You can take a break. I will call you if I need anything.”
“Sure.”
…
In the following three days, Gareth would pay Linda a visit every evening after work. His visits put Linda

She controlled herself this time and did not try to keep getting close to Gareth. She also did not ask him
to leave. Instead, they interacted naturally like friends. This enabled Gareth to relax a little and feel less
impatient than before.
At this moment, Gareth sat by the head of her bed and looked at her. “How are you feeling today?”
Linda smiled. “I’m quite well now. I think I should be able to leave the hospital in two or three days. This
time, I only injured my leg. Everything else is alright.”
Gareth frowned slightly. “Nonsense.”
Linda chuckled as she looked at the disapproval on Gareth’s face. She immediately pulled her blanket
away and showed him her bandaged leg. Gareth’s expression changed as guilt rose from his heart.
Linda’s eyes flashed with delight, but she kept a natural expression. “Why don’t I try walking around
and show you how I have recovered?”
“Don’t move.”
Gareth immediately grabbed her arm to stop her.
Linda trembled for a moment. It seemed they had not had such close physical contact for a long time.
She quickly recovered her composure and said coyly, “My mom also told me to stop playing around,
but I know my body well. Furthermore, we have such advanced medical treatment. Why would I not be
alright?”
Linda tried to get down from the bed as she spoke, but Gareth refused to let her go. He said solemnly.
“You should stay and rest.”
Linda shook her head casually. “I need to be responsible for myself. Moreover, I’m telling the truth.
Work is piling up in the company. I fear my department would go down without me around.”
“Someone’s managing it for you. Don’t worry.” Gareth’s tone was even, but when he saw Linda’s pale
face, he looked away. It was as if he did not wish to see how weak she was because each sight of her
increased his sense of guilt.
“I know, but they are my work, so I feel responsible for them. Garry, I know you feel guilty about what
happened to me, but it’s not your fault. It was mine.”
Linda’s voice and expression were sincere as if she was apologizing. Gareth looked away. “It has
nothing to do with you.”
Linda’s eyes glimmered with tears. She looked at Gareth and could not resist saying, “Garry… About
what happened during grandma’s banquet, I…”
She looked down and seemed as if she did not know how to continue explaining. In actuality, she was

Gareth’s gaze flickered. He did not want her to feel sad, so he said, “I understand.”
He was certain that Elisa tricked Linda into doing what she did that day.
However, seeing that she did it for the sake of his grandmother, he stopped pursuing the matter.
Linda was astonished as she looked at Gareth. “Garry, you knew…”
Gareth nodded calmly. “I’m sorry for not believing you then.”
He rarely spoke such tender words to her. Tears filled Linda’s eyes as she said, “Garry, it’s enough that
you believe me.”
Gareth sighed and said, “Linda, don’t cry.”
Linda looked up suddenly and gradually forced down her tears. “I don’t want to explain because I fear it
would put Elisa in a bad light. But I don’t want you to think badly of me. Garry, it’s enough that you
understand me. I don’t care what other people think. However, you must not be angry with Elisa. She
wasn’t thinking clearly then.”
Gareth pursed his lips and did not say anything.
However, unbeknownst to Linda, Gareth never planned to blame Elisa, even if he knew the truth.
Linda was finally relieved.
As she thought the mood between them had warmed, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared,
prompting her expression to darken.
