The Villain's Wife Chapter 621 Divine Intervention

The Villain's Wife 621 Divine InterventionIt was a ring.

To be precise, it was a diamond ring in a woman's ring finger. Instantly, Lily's eyebrow lifted. She then returned the tablet back to Yang Mi. She was sure that her father would call and meet up with her soon to announce his happy engagement. If her guess was right, his background check must have come back clean. Or else he would not be so eager to propose.
Lily didn't give this matter another thought as she went back to reading her mail. "Send an anonymous email to that woman. Tell her we know who she truly is. Have her send us money to a foreign bank account." She uttered.
"President, what if… she asks Mr. Qin to help her out?"
"She won't, that will only make him suspect her. She would not want to create any doubts between them. Especially now"
Yang Mi nodded in response.
Lily then sent a text to Qin Yuanfeng about the matter.
"He wants to marry her?" Zhou Jingren asked when Lily told him what happened. However, what he got in response, was a blank look on Lily's face. "What's wrong?" He asked as he sat next to her.
"I'm wondering. If… If I die… will you replace me with someone that looks just like me?" she propped her chin onto her palms. She watched as surprise flashed in his eyes.
"No." His tone had a hint of assurance, no, a promise. "If you die… I die too."
Lily snorted. She was already expecting such an answer from him. "He is stupid."
"He is in love." He retorted softly. "We tend to do crazy things if we are in love with someone."
"He is not in love with Su Ma. He is in love with my mother, he is in love with the image of my mother in that woman." Lily remembered the similarities on how Su Ma and her mother act. The way they say some words, their mannerisms and even the way they laugh.All of this was something that Su Ma showed the last time that she met her.
It was really not that surprising, after all… Su Ma was very familiar with Bec Facci.
"Do you have a plan?" He asked, concern laced in his tone.
In response, Lily nodded and gave a mirthless smile. "I will see them at the wedding." She uttered.
What could be more scandalous than ruining someone else's wedding? For now… she would let Su Ma and everyone behind her think that she is limiting her interaction with Qin Chuan. "That man needs divine intervention." She added. "And I am giving it to him. I only hope he can take it."
"Alright. Don't stress yourself too much about this matter. Secretary Go is always willing to help Yang Mi out whenever she needs any assistance. For now… we should go home."
Lily instantly beamed at his words. The word 'home' sent a tinge of warmth into her heart. She closed her laptop and gave it to Yang Mi before heading out of the office with Zhou Jingren.
...
"A fractured bone?" Adalind frowned as she stared at the X-Ray in front of her. "Do we need surgery?"
"Unfortunately, yes." The older doctor nodded. "I can see that you already have a dislocated midfoot because of wearing heels for long periods of time. The CAT scan revealed that these injuries are far more serious than we originally anticipated. The accident earlier only made it worse. This time surgery is needed."
"So… it wasn't just a sprain?"
"No. It wasn't."
"Will I be able to walk again?"
"Of course. This is nothing major. You will be able to walk again after some time and of course… rehabilitation."
"How long will it take me to walk again after the surgery?"
"This will depend on how you take care of your body. Half a year should be enough time for the bone to heal. It could be another year before you can start walking in heels again."
Adalind's face morphed into an ugly scowl. "Alright." She nodded. Not long after, the doctor left her alone in her room. She then started calling her agency and her parents to inform them about the matter. Adalind's legs were one of her assets, having this accident was a deal-breaker for her.
"Damn it!" She cursed after she ended the call with her parents. This accident was not worth it at all! Aside from the fact that she failed to get Zhou Jingren's attention, she also encountered such an ugly accident that might affect her career in modeling. After all, a year and a half of rehabilitation would take away a lot of modeling opportunities from her.
"When I heard about the accident I almost couldn't believe it." Adalind flinched when she heard a woman's cold voice.
"Madam He? Why are you here? I think it is already past visiting hours." Adalind frowned. For some reason, she always felt weird around this Madam He.
"Such things cannot stop someone like me." Madam He chuckled. She walked towards her. "How is your foot?"
"I will have to undergo surgery."
Madam He widened her eyes at Adalind's words. She stared at the woman's bandaged foot on the bed before giving out a sad sigh. "That's too bad." Madam He did not even bother to hide the glee in her voice that completely contrasted with the surprise on her face. "What will happen to your career now that you are injured? Are you going back to America to recuperate?" she asked.
"I decided to stay here. My parents will send their lawyers tomorrow to help me buy a new place. I can't stay at my cousin's place as her mansion has stairs and it will be such a hassle to move around with my injury."
"You will stay here?" Madam He asked. "But… who will take care of you? I mean… you are alone."
"I can hire some people to take care of me. My stepmother already promised me that she will send some of the best therapists here. My mother also said the same thing." Adalind shrugged. "It is not a problem."
"I see." Madam He smiled as she hid the fury in her eyes. "Oh! I brought this for you." She handed Adalind a box. "Its chocolates. One of the best in Hong Kong. They are dark chocolates though. I hope you don't mind its bitter taste. It is good for your body."
"Thank you." She accepted the box. "That is so sweet of you." Adalind smiled. To be honest, being alone with this Madam He was giving her a weird… vibe. Not enough to scare her but it is truly making her uncomfortable. "Oh… I am tired and it's already late. I hope you don't mind but… I want to rest now."
"No problem. I was in the hospital when I heard the news so I thought… I would just drop by and see you." Madam He's tone was cordial. "I apologize for disturbing you. I will take my leave now. Don't worry… I will visit you after your surgery."
"Thank you."
"Of course." Madam He nodded. "We women… have to support each other." An enchanting smile dangled on her lips. "I will see you next time. I hope you have a good rest." Without waiting for Adalind to answer her, Madam He walked out of the private room.
"Will you be doing the surgery?" she asked the man standing next to the door of Adalind's room.
"Yes." The doctor nodded. This was the same man that showed Adalind the result of her X-Ray and scan earlier. "Do you want me to cripple her?" he asked.
"No… I am not that mean." Madam He laughed as she started walking with the doctor. "Just… make her unable to wear heels again." She smiled.
"Then… that will happen." The doctor nodded before walking in the opposite direction leaving Madam He smiling alone as she walked towards her car.
