Ch. 176..180: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 176-180

Chapter 176

Leah looked up in surprise as she locked eyes with the server to make sure he was not amusing himself at her expense.

How could there possibly be an event where you had to play the violin to get a free meal after being drawn as a lucky customer?

What if the lucky customer was someone who didn’t know how to play the violin? Wouldn’t they be losing out?

Leah waved him off with a rejection. “I’m sorry. I don’t know how to play the violin.”

Han had the money after all. What did it matter if the meal was free or not?

Han unexpectedly leaned back with one leg folded over the other as he dismantled her bold-faced lie. “I distinctly recall that you know how to do so.”

Leah glared at him areplied in a sarcastic manner, “Are you serious, Mr. Howard? Are you so poor that you can’t even afford a meal and need me to sell my skills for it?”

However, Han actually shrugged in the face of her provocations and spoke as if it were a matter of course. “Indeed.”

Leah was rendered speechless. “…”

Forget it. It’s not like I don’t know how to play the violin. The food isn’t here yet anyway.

Leah pursed her lips at the thought and took the violin from the waiter’s hands. Just a single glance at the instrument bewildered her.

This violin…is quite a remarkable piece.

Leah stood in the middle of the stage, which prompted the other diners to pay attention to her.

She was in a black and white suit dress, which made her seem all the more elegant with the violin in hand.

Leah shut her eyes and set the violin up at the crook of her neck.

She had learned how to play the violin from a young age.

When the violin had been her greatest passion back in high school, she sent texts to Han telling him about how she had to play it by the sea at least once.

It was an extremely romantic thing to think about.

It was a time when her future held nothing but her violin, the blue sea, and Han.

Leah had been so immersed in her music that when their eyes met, it left her dazed.

It’s like my dream had come true before I even noticed.

The audience erupted in applause as the tune came to a close.

Leah’s violin-playing skills were so good that even those who didn’t understand the intricacies of music would be fascinated by it.

She sat back down at the table under Han’s watchful gaze.

That was when the food was served. Han joked, “My thanks for Ms. White’s generous offering of dinner.”

Leah smiled indifferently. “I wish you a pleasant meal.”

The duo enjoyed their meal.

There was a sudden commotion just as they were about to finish.

“Woah, look!”

Leah looked up, astonished.

The sea began to tide, a ghostly blue from the sky scattered down. She could see the gorgeous shapes the waves took as they crashed the beach from afar.

People on the beach were going insane from joy as they leaped and cheered. Some were even poking their feet into the waters, not at all afraid that they might be washed away by the rising tide.

It was, as they say, ’till death do us part’.

The ghostly blue gleam reflected on Leah’s face as Han swept a glance at her. He suddenly set down the cutlery in his hands and wiped his mouth. “I’m done.”

Leah got to her feet. “Let’s head to the beach to have a look.”

“Yeah.” Han nodded.

Leah was quick to leave and failed to notice Han calmly handing the waiter a card behind her.

When they finally exited the restaurant, they crossed the street to the beach.

It was a lively time on the beach. The sea was coming in waves, and the surface of the waters was sprinkled with a layer of fluorescent light, exuding a faint blue glow.

Leah felt uncomfortable walking on the beach in high heels.

And thus, she removed her heels and carried them in her hands, feeling the softness of the fine sand against her bare feet.

It’s comfy.

Leah treaded backward, watching Han with every step.

And at that moment, she felt as though the distance between her and Han weren’t so far after all.

Han, meanwhile, was still dressed to the nines.

She made up her mind, bent down and scooped up a handful of sand, and flung it at him.

Han was taken aback.

His pupils were dark, which reflected the luminescence of the blue sea, making him seem like a much softer person.

Leah smiled sincerely at him for the first time in their lives. “Aren’t you sick of being so tense, Han? You should take off your shoes when you come to the beach to get a feel of things. Try for yourself if you don’t believe me.”

Han huffed.

This was his first time seeing Leah so happy.

It was as if there was a seed taking root deep in his heart that wanted nothing more than to protect her smile.

Leah had only been joking and didn’t expect Han to agree.

But he immediately bent down to remove his shoes and socks.

She was surprised but was quick to recover her wits. “How is it? It’s nice, isn’t it?”

Han nodded seriously. “Yes.”

Leah continued to walk forward in the sand.

That was when they encountered a young girl by the road selling a variety of light-emitting accessories and toys.

The girl tugged on the hem of Leah’s shirt. “Do you want a glowy headband, Miss? It would look good on you.”

“Alright.” Leah was in a good mood and bent down to pick out a headband with a luminous halo attached to it. That was when Han caught her eye.

She grinned from ear to ear as she also picked out one that had devil horns on them. “Han, come here.”

Han heard her words and walked toward her.

Leah then stood on her tip-toes to set the headband on his head.

Han was shocked and was about to reflexively remove it.

Leah muttered, “The devil headband suits you.”

Han froze in his motions.

If she said so, he should just…wear it.

“You’re just as evil as this headband,” Leah said, all smiles with no specific meaning behind her words.

As long as she smiled, Han didn’t have a care in the world.

“Really?” He asked. “Am I that scary?”

Leah stared at him.

Scary? She suddenly couldn’t remember why she thought that way.

All she knew was the current Han who would accompany her for crispy chili beef despite his dislike for it. The current Han would grovel at Shawn Ford’s feet but not allow her to lower her head and apologize and would be by her side as she messed around childishly.

Leah stared him in the face and suddenly felt flustered.

She turned around and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s head back to the hotel!”

Han took notice of her evasive gaze.

Then, he sighed. “Alright.”

They put on their shoes and continued on their way back to the main road when Han spoke to Leah. “We can’t hail cabs here at this hour. I’ll call up the car rentals and have them drive over.”

Chapter 177

Leah brushed the sand off her body and nodded as soon as she heard the words.

The both of them stood on the side of the road. They looked a little silly as they wore glowing headbands on their heads.

However, no one took the headbands off.

Han called the car rental and it did not take long for someone from the company to pick them up in a Porsche Cayenne.

Leah pouted when she saw the luxurious car. This was what men always do. Even if they were to be renting a car, it had to be a luxurious one.

“Let’s go.” Han said to Leah as he opened the car door.

The atmosphere was thick as neither spoke while they got into the car.

It was quite a distance going down the hill. They were still circling the ocean after Han had driven for five minutes.

The road circled down the hill on top of the ocean. There seemed to be a village in Dawnvile if they went further down.

Leah stared out the window.

She was thinking about how it would feel like to live in such an isolated place for her whole life.

“Hold tight.” Han said in a cold tone.

Leah was stunned for a moment. “Huh?”

Han stared closely at the rearview mirror and something flashed in his eyes. “We’re being followed.”

“Huh?” Not only was Leah surprised, but she was also shocked.

They were in Dawnville and were unfamiliar with their surroundings. Who in the world would want to follow them out of boredom?

Leah grabbed tightly onto her seat and turned around. There was a white van with no license plate driving so fast as if it was going to crash into them.

Leah’s face turned pale as soon as she knew how fast the van was going. It was going to catch up to them.

She grabbed the armrest and frowned. “Why do you have so many enemies, Han? They even came to Dawnville just to go after you.”

Han did not answer her. He turned the steering wheel with full force as if driving a racing car.

The car was going too fast. Leah’s heart pounded like a runaway horse. Leah tried her best not to scream.

However, the van behind them kept tailing them. Han could not get rid of it no matter how much he swerved the car.

Leah was feeling a little anxious.

Han noticed her at that moment and comforted her, “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine as long as we reach the highway.”

Leah nodded and asked, “Do you know who’s driving the van?”

That person must have hated Han so much to go through all this trouble.

Han’s eyes darkened, then turned the steering wheel quickly.

Of course, he knew who it was.

They were being chased by the van for ten minutes when they were about to reach the highway.

However, there was a loud noise coming from the car and it suddenly stopped.

Leah’s face was flushed pale. “What’s going on? Why did it stop?”

She thought that they were going to die because of how fast the van was driving.

Han was calm. He lowered his head and said, “We’re out of petrol.”

Leah wanted to swear. Did the car rental company not check their cars before renting them out?

She was about to cry and grabbed onto the door handle tightly. “What do we do now?”

Han glanced at the rearview mirror. He still was not flustered at all.

“Get out of the car.” He said without hesitation and opened the door.

Everything was dyed in pitch black except for the glimmering moonlight, and the faint blue light reflected by the ocean. They could not see anything.

Leah knew that she would be dead if she stayed in the car, so she followed Han’s orders.

The van caught up to them as they got out of the car.

The van stopped 10 feet away from them and Shawn smirked as he got out of the vehicle.

Leah felt depressed, “You again?”

Shawn looked at her contemptuously. “What? Don’t wanna see me? Unfortunately, you always have bad luck every time you bump into me.”

Nothing good happened whenever she bumped into him.

She did not expect that this man would go after them even when they were in Dawnville.

Han protected Leah.

Shawn smiled sullenly and said, “I’ll see how well you can protect Leah this time, Han.”

He got into the van as soon as he finished speaking.

Upon seeing this, Han grabbed Leah’s hand and said, “Run!”

Leah’s heart almost jumped out. Han held her wrist tightly and started running on the highway without explaining what was going on.

How could they be any faster than a van?

It was as if Shawn was playing with them, like a cat with a mouse.

Leah felt hopeless.

She had never felt this tired in her life, and her legs were getting heavy. It felt like she was running for her life.

There was a path in front of them after running for a while.

Han dragged her into the path without hesitation.

Shawn’s van was too big to drive in. He got out of the van and cursed in anger. His eyes flashed all of a sudden. He got an idea and smirked.

Han dragged Leah and ran.

After all that running, Leah could no longer take it anymore. She loosened her grip on Han’s hand and slumped onto the ground.

Han stood and waited for her.

After a long while, Leah managed to speak. “Good thing Shawn hasn’t caught up to us yet.”

Han already knew that.

Leah asked, “Then, what are we supposed to do now? It’s already dark and we can’t spend the night in the forest, can we?”

Han heard her and looked at the road in front of him. “We can get to the highway if we get out from here.”

“Alright then.” Leah was motivated as soon as she heard that there was a way out. She struggled to get up from the ground and panted. “We’ll be fine as long as we get there. Come on, we don’t have time to waste.”

Han squatted in front of her.

Leah asked, “What are you doing?”

Han’s voice was clear. “I’ll carry you.”

Leah was stunned, then refused. “No.”

Han urged her, “Don’t waste time.”

Leah hesitated for a while and realized she had no more strength. She had no idea how long it would take them to reach there if she was going to walk slowly.

She thought about it for a moment and laid on Han’s back and whispered. “Thanks for your help.”

Chapter 178

Han’s shoulder was broad. He carried Leah steadily as soon as she got on him.

The difference in physical strength between men and women was immense. He carried her as he ran. She was so tired she could barely get up. On the other hand, Han did not even break a sweat.

Neither of them said anything but panted.

Leah put her arms around Han’s neck and looked up. She could see his side profile and she had never been this quiet around Han before.

“What are you thinking about?” He looked straight ahead and asked in a low voice.

Leah shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.” She paused and asked, “How long until we get out?”

Han glanced at the road ahead of them and frowned. “Soon.”

Han was straight to the point and it did not take long for the both of them to see a dazzling blue light at the end of the road.

It was the light reflected by the ocean.

The both of them went through the forest and returned to the highway. However, the road was not the same as before. They were now at the back of the mountain.

There was no beach underneath, but a vast blue ocean, emitting a mysterious glow.

Han carried Leah through the woods and let her down.

“What should we do now?” Leah asked Han, looking at the ocean below.

Han took out his phone and said, “I’m calling Roman to send someone to pick us up.”

Just as he was about to make the call, there was a sudden screech.

Han and Leah’s expressions changed. They stood up from the ground in unison and looked at where the sound was coming from.

“Honk, Honk!” A car’s honk could be heard.

At that juncture, a white van rushed out from the corner. Shawn held the steering wheel while excitement flashed across his eyes. “As I said, you can’t run away from me!”

His van rammed towards the both of them as if he was going to crush them into bits!

Han pulled Leah and threw her aside. He grabbed her shoulders, and waist then tossed her to the guardrail.

Han snorted as cold sweat formed on his forehead.

However, Shawn’s van missed them as they dodged. Shawn was not amused by this, he turned his van around and charged at them again.

Han pushed Leah. “Run!”

Leah looked at the dazzling lights of the vehicle in front of her and was stunned.

Shawn smirked viciously as if he was at the dawn of victory!

Han was going to die in front of him!

Shawn stomped on the accelerator and rushed towards the both of them. However, Shawn held back his strength as Han and Leah were near the guardrail.

Shawn slammed on the brakes just when his van was about to hit them.

However, his expression changed all of a sudden.

His brakes failed!

“Stop right now, Shawn! You’re going to die!” Leah yelled hoarsely at Shawn.

Shawn’s face turned pale. His brakes failed! No matter how much he moved, there was no way to stop the car. He rammed Han and Leah at an uncontrollable speed without hesitation!

“bang!”

Shawn’s van hit Leah and Han. At the same time, his van broke through the guardrail and they plunged down.

“Ah!” Leah’s screams echoed in her ears, and the huge sense of weightlessness made her mind go blank.

At that juncture, she felt a pair of hands protecting her, pressing her head firmly in his arms.

Leah could smell the scent of tobacco. It was Han who protected her!

Despite all of that, it would not change their fate of being knocked off the road. There Ocean was beneath the highway. A burst of light flashed before Leah’s eyes.

“Whoosh!”

Water was splashing.

Leah was deafened by the sound of seawater engulfing her. Her vision gradually blurred and fainted.

…

“Cough! Cough! cough!” Leah woke up choking as if something was rubbing her chest. She coughed a few more times and got up. She covered her chest and gasped for air.

Leah opened her eyes and it was already dawn. She finally remembered what happened.

She remembered that the accident happened yesterday night. However, it was already daytime. Did she fall asleep for that long?

What about Han?

Han held her tightly in his arms when the accident happened. What happened to him?

Leah resisted the huge pain in her body and stumbled up from the ground.

She looked around and noticed that she was at a beach, but no one was there. It seemed that she was washed up somewhere by the sea.

Leah struggled to stand up and shouted in a hoarse voice, “Han?”

There was no answer. Her voice echoed on the beach.

Leah sauntered. There were wounds all over her body, and there was a huge gash on her leg. Her wounds had already clotted, but it still hurt whenever she took a step.

She was with Han when she fell off the road. Even if she was washed away by the sea, Han should not be far from her.

She walked across the sand and headed all the way to a pile of rocks.

Her eyes narrowed and a glint of light flashed in her eyes. “Han…”

She saw a man lying face down on the reef next to him. He did not move, she did not know if he was dead or not.

Leah stumbled and ran towards the man.

She finally ran to the man’s side, she turned the man over as her hands trembled. Her expression changed all of a sudden.

It was not Han!

It was Shawn who was knocked out by the reefs.

Leah suddenly fell, as she bit her lips and looked at Shawn angrily.

She would not have fallen to this point if it was not for him

She did not know if he was alive either.

Leah reached out her hand cautiously, touched the tip of Shawn’s nose, and felt his weak breathing.

Shawn did not die, he just passed out in a coma. However, if he did not wake up, she would not know whether he would survive.

Leah pursed her lips, she didn’t want to save Shawn.

Eventually, she could not take it anymore, since his life was on the line.

After debating whether she should save him, Leah sighed and dragged him to the shore. She placed her hands on his chest and performed CPR on him.

Chapter 179

Shawn spat out a mouthful of seawater, and his body was shaking violently. After a while, he gradually opened his eyes.

Seeing that Shawn woke up, Leah took a few steps back and stopped about three or four meters away from him. She was ready to run away if something happened.

Shawn was covered in blood. and it seemed that he had more injuries than Leah.

Leah remembered Shawn was still in the car when falling off the road. She did not know how he escaped before getting washed ashore. In fact, he looked more disheveled than she was. Even the blood on his face had coagulated.

Shawn coughed and lay on the beach, gasping for breath.

Leah kept watching Shawn vigilantly.

Not long after, Shawn slowly sat up. He looked around and suddenly fixed his eyes on Leah.

Leah’s heart skipped a beat. She swallowed subconsciously and took two steps back quietly.

Seeing that, a smile appeared on Shawn’s face. He had lost his glasses. However, Leah could see a sense of excitement in his eyes even without the glasses.

Leah could not help but frown. What is he smiling at? she mused.

Shawn kept looking at Leah with a smile, and he seemed different from his usual gloomy expression.

Leah was confused.

Right then, Shawn suddenly stood up. However, as soon as he stood up, he frowned. Then he pursed his lips and said, “Ouch! My legs hurt.”

Hearing that, Leah was dumbfounded. She stared at Shawn in disbelief. Shawn was a tall man but when he puckered his face like that, Leah felt her stomach churn.

However, Shawn was not a bit embarrassed at all. He limped toward Leah and said, “Shawny’s legs are so painful.”

Leah was stunned. What happened in front of her was so unreal. She tried to say something but stopped on second thought. Nevertheless, she muttered, “Shawn, did you hurt your brain or something?”

Hearing that, Shawn knocked on his head. Then he shook his head and answered, “No, my head doesn’t hurt, my legs hurt.”

Looking at the finger-wide wound on Shawn’s forehead, Leah was silent for a moment. Shawn must have suffered a heavy blow when he fell and hit the rocks. It seemed that he was suffering from mental regressing.

Standing a few steps away from him, Leah narrowed her eyes and asked, “How old are you?”

“Shawny is seven years old!” Shawn replied obediently.

“Seven years old?” Leah could not help but gasp. Shawn returns to the age of seven? Could a seven- year-old child have the power to hurt others? Leah wondered. Nevertheless, her top priority was to find Han. As for what happened to Shawn, she could not help but sigh.

“In that case, you’d better follow me. I’ll take you to the hospital when I find Han!” Leah ordered.

Hearing that, Shawn quickly nodded his head. “Okay, I’ll follow you. You’re such a good-hearted and pretty sister.”

“Pretty sister?” The corners of Leah’s mouth twitched. She was speechless when she heard what Shawn called her. The man who was chasing me and wanted me to die just now suddenly turned into a seven-year-old child and called me pretty sister? Leah could not help but exclaim inwardly.

However, Leah still brought Shawn with her as she began to search for Han around the beach. Nonetheless, they did not see Han. Is he not washed ashore like me? she wondered.

The sky turned dark, and Leah was getting worried. She had not seen Han for a day. She had to keep assuring herself that no news was the best news.

With a sigh, Leah decided to take Shawn back first. She would ask Roman for help to look for Han with his men later.

Right then, Shawn was playing on the sand. Leah shouted at him, “Shawn, let’s go.”

Hearing that, Shawn scampered over. “You have ignored me for the whole day.”

Leah was stunned. She did not know how to reply to Shawn after hearing that. She rubbed between her temples as if she had a headache. Leaving the beach, she found a small shop on the side of the road and gave Roman a call.

Roman came in a hurry. When he saw Leah and Shawn in a disheveled state, he could not help but frown. “What happened? Where is Mr. Howard?”

Nonetheless, Leah sighed and said, “Let’s get in the car first.”

In the car, Leah told Roman the whole story. Roman was shocked and looked inexplicably at Shawn, who was sitting on the back seat, playing with his fingers.

After a while, Roman turned around and asked Leah, “Do you need me to call the police?”

Leah shook her head. “Find Han first. As for Shawn, let Han deal with him later.”

Shawn had done so many things. Leah thought she should let Han decide what to do with Shawn later.

”Well, I will send my men to search for Han, but…” Roman’s face darkened. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. The sea was so big, and Han had been missing for a day and a night. He was probably dead by then.

However, Roman did not dare to say that. He sent Leah and Shawn back to the hotel and even called a private doctor to see them.

There were some bruises all over Leah’s body. However, it was not a big problem after applying some ointment. The one who was more serious was Shawn.

“No, no. I don’t want an injection. I’m scared!” Shawn kept dodging away. When the private doctor approached Shawn for the tenth time, he finally lost his patience.

“I can’t do anything if it goes on like this,” the doctor sighed with the needles in his hand.

Hearing that, Leah frowned and glanced at Shawn. What should I do with a seven-year-old kid? she wondered.

After thinking for a while, Leah waved her hand and said, “Shawn, come over here.”

Shawn ran to Leah immediately. “I don’t want an injection,” he cried.

“You’re injured, and there are so many wounds all over your body. Only the doctor can help you so that you can recover quickly,” explained Leah in a soft voice. “Listen to me. If you listen to the doctor. I’ll buy you… gummy bears!” Leah could not believe what she had said.

Unexpectedly, Shawn’s eyes lit up. He lifted Leah’s hand and said happily, “Hooray, I want to eat gummy bears!”

Leah was speechless. Nonetheless, she still patted Shawn on the shoulder and said, “Good boy. I will give you gummy bears later.”

After hearing that, Shawn walked stealthily to the doctor. “Okay, I’ll let you give me a jab now.”

Chapter 180

The doctor and Leah were coaxing Shawn as if they were coaxing a kid. Leah was exhausted.

She felt she was indebted to Han and Shawn in her previous life. Otherwise, she would not have been tortured by them so much.

The doctor put away the vials and put on his mask. “I’ll send you the examination results in two days.”

Leah nodded. “Thank you!” she said.

After the doctor left, Roman stood up and said, “It’s getting late. Go to bed early. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

However, Leah frowned and sighed, “But Han…”

“Don’t worry. I have already sent my men to look for Mr. Howard. I’ll inform you if I get any news. Don’t worry too much. I believe Mr. Howard will be fine.” Roman patted Leah’s shoulder. He then caught a glimpse of Shawn beside her.

Leah was so tired after a long day. It was not suitable to put Shawn under her care. What if Shawn woke up in the middle of the night and hurt Leah?

Thinking of that, Roman walked toward Shawn and said, “I’ll take care of him for you tonight.”

Leah was very tired. She nodded and replied, “Thank you.”

With that, Roman reached out his hand to Shawn. However, before he could touch Shawn, Shawn was so shocked that he jumped away. He held Leah’s hand tightly and hid behind her, watching Roman vigilantly from behind Leah’s back.

Embarrassed, Roman said again, “Shawn, let’s go. I’ll take you to your room.”

Shaking his head violently, Shawn pouted his lips and cried, “No, I want to stay with Leah.” Somehow, Shawn remembered Leah’s name after hearing her conversation with Roman.

“But Leah is tired. She needs to rest.” Roman frowned. He really did not like Shawn.

Nonetheless, Shawn continued to refuse. “No. I want to sleep with Leah. I won’t go with you!”

Hearing that, Roman was speechless. Although he was gentle, he was a man of his word. Seeing that Shawn was still holding Leah’s hand tightly, he stepped forward and tried to separate Shawn’s hand from Leah’s forcibly.

Unexpectedly, Shawn sat down and began to cry.

Seeing that, Leah was dumbfounded.

Roman and Leah had no experience in taking care of children, so they did not know how to handle Shawn.

With a deep sigh, Leah told Roman to leave. “You can go back first. I’ll comfort him.”

“But what if he hurts you?” Roman frowned and disapproved.

Leah shook her head. “He is only seven years old now. What can he do? Don’t worry. I will protect myself.”

Hearing that, Roman had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, he added, “I’ll send a bodyguard, and he will be standing by the door. Call him if you need anything.”

Leah was very grateful for what Roman had done for her.

After Roman left, Shawn stood up from the ground. He sat on the couch with his legs together and looked at Leah timidly.

With a serious face, Leah ignored Shawn and did not want to talk to him again. Although she did not want to vent her anger at him, it was because of him that the accident happened. Even if he was only seven years old now, she was still angry with him.

However, Shawn thought Leah was angry because he cried just now. He sat on the couch quietly like a child who had done something wrong.

“Leah…” Shawn called her name in a low voice.

Leah raised her head and glanced at him. Her eyes were as calm as the blue seawater.

Meeting her eyes, Shawn panicked and explained in a hurry, “Leah, please don’t be angry with me. I don’t want to be separated from you. Only you treat me the best. The others are all bad people.”

Hearing that, Leah could not help but frown. She stared at him. “The others are all bad people?”

“Yes!” nodded Shawn at once. He was afraid Leah would not believe him. He quickly continued, “Dad is a bad person, and that woman is also a bad person. They are all coming after my things, and the uncle just now was also trying to take you away from me! They are all bad people!”

Leah could not help but narrowed her eyes. She did not expect to hear such things from Shawn.

Shawn had returned to the age of seven. In other words, his father and another woman were bad to him in his childhood. Besides, it seemed that he felt insecure. Perhaps Leah was the only one who he trust after she promised to buy him gummy bears.

Leah’s mind went blank. She was so exhausted and had to rubb her temples. She was having a headache.

“It’s getting late. I have to go to bed,” Leah said and stood up. “You can sleep on the couch tonight.”

Shawn stood up too and followed Leah behind. He looked aggrieved and asked, “So, are you still angry with me?”

“I’m not angry with you.” Leah had no choice but to answered him.

Hearing that, Shawn’s eyes lit up. “Really? As long as I’m obedient, you won’t leave me alone?”

Huh? What is he talking about? Leah mused.

Nonetheless, Leah was too tired that she did not want to argue. She nodded and went back to her room before locking the door. She took a shower and changed the bandages on her wounds by herself. After that, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

However, she began to have nightmares.

In her dream, Han walked toward her with blood all over his body. He asked her why she did not save him.

Leah shook her head and explained, “But I can’t find you.”

“You did not look for me at all. You want me to die, right? That’s why you did not even try to look for me. You’re such a vicious woman!”

“No, it’s not like that.” Leah shook her head, and suddenly, she woke up from her dream.

Leah was sweating. Even though the air conditioner in the bedroom was set at a very low temperature, she was still perspiring. She looked at the ceiling in a daze. Then, she picked up the phone from the side, but there was no call from Roman yet.

If Roman did not call her, it meant that he had not found Han yet. It had been two days. How was Han now?

Leah looked out of the window worriedly. The sun was slowly rising in the morning.
