Chapter 1697 Temptation
The more Linda thought about it, the more she liked the idea!
If she could get together with Will, she needn't fear anything in the future!
She needn't even be afraid of the one manipulating things behind the scenes. Linda had Will on her side after all.
She took a breath to collect herself and listened.
"So… Does that mean you can't do it right now?" Elisa asked casually.
"Yeah. I'm focused on recovering right now. It will take some time before we can discuss the collaboration. I don't
have the energy to work right now."
Linda heard every word Will said. She tensed up. How could this be?!
She parted her lips, but not a sound came out.

"Mmhmm." Will didn't want to hang up, but he needed to continue the act with her.
"I'll hang up then. Rest well."
"Okay."
Elisa hung up. She seemed to be oblivious to Will's reluctance.
She turned to Linda and apologized, "I'm sorry, Melinda. He still needs to recover. You heard our conversation."
Linda smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. Health should be his priority if he hasn't recovered fully. Besides, I just
returned. There's still so much I need to take care of for the family. Waiting a little longer shouldn't be an issue."
Elisa nodded. "Then… Let me send you back?" She sighed helplessly.
Linda felt nothing but anger towards Elisa. Their meeting amounted to nothing, and she wanted nothing more but
for them to go their separate ways.
But the thought of Elisa going to the trouble of driving her home sounded amusing. She gave Elisa an awkward
smile, "I… I can't trouble you any further."
"It's no problem. Are you worried about my driving skills?"
"Of course not!" Linda feigned surprise. "Well then… I'm in your care, Elisa."
Elisa smiled and started the car.
Neither of them said much during the drive. They were both lost in their thoughts. It wasn't until they arrived at
Linda's home that Elisa spoke up, "Well, see you next time."
"Thank you for sending me home, Elisa. It's the kindest anyone has been to me ever since I got home. You're such a
good friend." Elisa smiled warmly at her.
Elisa smiled back. "I like you too. I'll be off then."
"Okay. Drive safely."

Through the rearview mirror, Elisa could still see Linda standing in the yard looking her way. Disdain finally showed
on her face. Linda was an excellent actress.
She only agreed to Rachel bringing Linda to the hospital to confirm her identity. She wanted to know if her
suspicions were real. If Melinda weren't Linda as she suspected, Elisa would stay away from her. She didn't want to
hurt the innocent.
However…
Linda did not disappoint her. She rushed over the moment she heard about Norman.
They were indeed father and daughter.
She sneered.
It was time for her to make her move.
She stopped at an intersection and waited for the light to turn green. Conflicting emotions burgeoned in her chest.
It's been a while since she last saw him. She should pay him a visit…
Before she could give it much thought, her phone rang.
