SWNOVELS Chapter 503 Lord Nalan Could Be Cured
"Why are there so many journalists out there?" Linda felt confused. Suddenly, she remembered that Rosy and Jessie came here earlier, so she guessed that they might have something to do with the matter.
"Let them stay at the gate," said Linda.
"They want to interview you now. Do you want them to come in?"
"They're all suspecting me, and right now, I don't have any evidence to prove that I'm innocent, so they might not believe me!"
After all, except for Rosy, no one else had witnessed the moment Lord Nalan was pushed into the water. And Lord Nalan couldn't testify as well because he was still in a coma.
And perhaps, no matter what kind of questions the media reporters would ask and how Linda would answer their questions, they might manipulate Linda's words and make it worse for the public audience.
"I don't want to see them." Linda shook her head, picked up the shears, and began trimming the flower branches in the garden.
"My Lady, if you won't see them, they will surely make negative comments about you in news reports. By then, you will really be unable to defend yourself against the rumours and allegations. Do you want Jessie and Rosy to keep framing you for murder?" "It doesn't matter. I don't care about them or the public opinion. The truth will be revealed as long as my grandfather wakes up. If he doesn't regain consciousness, I must get back at the Nalan clan..."
Now, Linda didn't plan to take any action at all before she was ready. Although Rosy had framed her, she didn't strike back against her. After her babies were born, she would definitely come up with a full-on strike and take her revenge against Rosy if Lord Nalan still couldn't wake up.
Rosy believed that she could get Linda into trouble by taking advantage of this matter, but she didn't expect that she would end up being trapped in a difficult position that she would never be able to turn back away from.
Charles went back home at about 7:30 in the evening.
Linda was watching TV in the living room. When she saw Charles, she stretched out her arms as though she was asking him to hug her. "Honey, you're back!"
Charles nodded at her with a tender expression on his face. Only when he saw Linda, would Charles be so gentle and affectionate.
"I'm back, my dear. I've heard that the reporters came to our house today. Is that right?"
He walked up to Linda and held her in his arms. He, then, sat down on the sofa, making Linda sit on his lap.
Linda felt more comfortable sitting on Charles's lap than on the sofa. Linda, in Charles's arms, put her fair, soft arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
"Yes. Some reporters came here today, but I didn't see them. I believe that Rosy has told the reporters about some false news and asked them to come here..."
"I have taken some action to stop this matter from being spread. I've ordered a news blackout. We don't have any hard evidence to prove that Rosy had hired people to push grandfather into the water or that she has anything to do with this matter. All we could do now is to wait. Everything will be clear only after grandfather wakes up."
"My Lady, I have good news to tell you. My schoolmate who lives abroad told me that the latest research achievement of the academy where he is currently working at is effective in curing the people who are in vegetative states. They are willing to come to our country to treat your grandfather. Do you think that we should have a try..."
Anna, who just ran into the living room, shouting excitedly, saw Linda leaning into Charles's arms. They were whispering lovingly at that moment. Anna realized that she came there at an improper time, so she said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Young Master." After she finished speaking, Anna was about to leave and leave the couple alone. However, Charles stopped her, "Come over here."
"I'm so sorry, Young Master. I didn't mean to come here to disturb you. I didn't expect that you would come back so early today." Anna immediately covered her eyes with her hands as she turned around to answer Charles.
Linda was a bit surprised and amused upon seeing what Anna did. She just sat on Charles's lap and leaned against his chest. Besides, her belly was massive, so what could she possibly do with these two babies still in her stomach? "Come inside, and tell us about the good news in detail."
Charles was a bit displeased. He had on a morose expression on his handsome face.
Anna then went inside the living room.
Linda moved out of Charles's arms and sat on the sofa beside him. She thought that it would be better for her to sit properly on the sofa,
instead of leaning against Charet
in
front of others. Otherwise, Anna would feel embarrassed if Linda and Charles continued showing their affections toward each other in front of her.

"Lord Nalan is in a coma now, right? It might be impossible to make him wake up within several years if we would only rely on the current domestic medical technology. But the foreign medical team, which my schoolmate is a part of, specializes in studying treatments for brain-damaged people who are in vegetative states. Now, they've succeeded in curing 23 patients, and all of them have recovered very well. Only one patient couldn't recover and died because his cerebral cortex was severely destroyed."
"As for grandfather's condition, how long would it take to treat him before he would wake up?"
"I have asked them about that. His subcortical nerve center can still allow his lungs to pump oxygen and his heart to pump blood. Moreover, his head was not severely injured. If they treat him the best they can, he can wake up within a month." Linda felt relieved after she heard Anna.
With a smile on his face, Charles raised his head and said, "Anna, thank you for your help."
Anna was very surprised to see Charles smile at her.
Charles always wore a straight face with an indifferent expression in his eyes. He often kept silent and was a man of few words. He would only start talking more when he met Linda.
Perhaps, Linda had influenced him somehow, so he gradually conversed with others like normal people did. Learning that Lord Nalan could be cured, Charles was also pleased. Since he loved Linda, he also cared about Lord Nalan. "Young Master, it's my pleasure."
"How do we carry out the treatment? Do we need to bring grandfather abroad?" asked Linda.
Anna shook her head and replied, "We don't need to send him abroad. I have discussed with them about that. They can come here. They have never been to our country, so they can take this chance to travel in our country and do an operation on your grandfather." "That's great."
Linda was pregnant, so it was
inconvenient for her to keep Lord Nalan company all the time. Now, Lord Nalan, was in the hospital, and if he had to be sent abroad for treatment, Linda would not be ease and would surely go with him. However, she was about to give birth in one month and a half, so it would not be good for her to go abroad at present.
"But now, they're carrying out an operation for another patient who was also in a vegetative state. The following treatment will last one month and a half. The patient is a senior government official with high status, so they can only travel to our country after that patient wakes up."
