Ch. 231..235: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 231-235

Chapter 231

Leah froze on the spot. She would be dead meat if she were discovered now.

Kennedy spun his head around but he saw no one behind him.

However, he still hung up. and he was now cautiously scanning his surrounding.

Suddenly, a cat sprung out of nowhere and caught his attention. He looked like he was slightly letting his guard down after realizing his suspicion might stem from some overthinking.

Leah continued to hide behind the tree. Only when the sound of footsteps had faded that she quickly sped back to her room. She also locked the door.

She crumbled onto the floor as a realization dawned on her. The moment Ron lost power, his nemesis and underlings were equally unsettling as they all began to make their moves.

Kennedy had already betrayed them.

She suspected that he would not be the only one to do that.

Leah wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and got up with much difficulty. She needed to go to the hospital now. She had to watch over Ron.

“George, where are you now?"

Leah called George.

She chose to believe George based on her intuition. She felt that he would never betray Ron.

“Ms. White, what’s wrong? Did Kennedy provoke you?” George had come to the hospital alone because he was worried about Ron. Therefore, he asked Kennedy to see Leah.

Leah wanted to ask him to come to bring her to the hospital, but at the last moment, she changed her mind.

Ron was still in a coma. It was not wise to leave him alone and unguarded.

“It’s nothing. Please watch Ron carefully. Don’t even leave liis war'd."

After reminding Georgy. Leah rushed downstairs after quickly changing into a new set of clothes.

“Ms. White, where are you going?”

Kenney stood in her way, and he had a relaxed expression on his face.

“My stomach feels a little funny. Bring me to the hospital.” Leah tossed the car key to Kennedy.

Kennedy was still figuring out how to get to the hospital without arousing suspicion, and to his pleasant surprise. Leah had offered him a chance to do that.

He graciously opened the car door and said. "Ms. White, watch your steps."

Leah thanked him before settling into the backseat.

The car rolled to a stop in front of the hospital. Leah was rummaging around the backseat.

"This is weird. I am sure that I’ve brought it.”

“What are you looking for. Ms. White?”

Leah saw that she had gotten Kennedy's interest, so she continued, "It’s an amulet that belongs to your boss. It’s one that I’ve gotten with him last time. I am pretty sure that I've brought it with me before departing."

There was a disdainfill look on Kennedy’s face. He was just feeling amused. What good could an amulet do when Ron was practically on death's door?'

Leah was talking to herself. "Could I have forgotten about it in my room? Can you go back and get it for me? It should be on my dressing table. It’s in a red purse.”

Leah was able to divert Kennedy away as she had planned. She quickly ran to the ward.

When she laid eyes on Ron who was lying on the bed motionless, she let out a sigh of relief.

George was staring at her with a questioning look. He asked, "Ms. White, why are you here?”

Leah shut the door of the ward and sat on the sofa. She was examining George carefully.

George looked away with an unnatural look on his face. He even blushed a little as this was the first time that he received such an intense gaze from a woman.

“Ms. White, if you have something to say to me. just say it.”

“Ron has been in such a forlorn state now. You can leave whenever you want.”

She would not know whether Ron would come to her consciousness anytime soon. On top of that, she wondered if he would be liis old self ever again after waking up.

For an underling, it would be wise to venture out and look for other opportunities since their future was now uncertain.

George raised his eyebrows and his tone tinned vehement. “Ms. White, what are you trying to say?"

Ever since Ron was met with this mishap, many who used to follow him chose to leave him. However, there were still those who chose to be loyal to him and stay behind to protect him.

“I mean what I said. You are free to go as you please."

As she said that, she produced a card from her purse and put it on the table.

“There’s three hundred thousand in there. This is my parting gift for you.”

Leah was paying close attention to George’s expression. She was not particularly close with George, so she had to test him no matter what, just in case...

If he chose to accept her offer of money, that would mean that he was not someone reliable.

George walked over and took that card, but he immediately threw it into the dustbin. He had a determined look on his face. “I will never leave my boss.”

When Leah heard this coming from his mouth, she felt that something that weighed her down was now gone. There were people around Ron who could be trusted too.

She said gently, "Thank you. George.”

Only then George realized that she was just testing his loyalty.

While he was still baffled by what she was doing. Leah began solemnly, “Kennedy has turned on us. I heard that he is planning to kill Ron and offer him as a tribute."

George was stricken with shock. "How can that be?”

“It’s tine." Leah did not want to believe what she had just said too. She could never predict what was at the bottom of a human’s heart.

Humans were always selfish. There were no exceptions.

George did not believe Leah’s words. He felt that they needed to look into this more.

Leah could not leave Ron alone, fearing that an assassin would come to take his life when she did not pay attention. She decided to just stay and live here. She could take care of him around the clock too.

News of her moving into the ward spread to Han’s ears very soon.

Ben was drooping liis head, unable to see him in liis eyes. He felt a chilling avalanche sweeping across his skin.

He regretted coming here to submit documents at such timing.

He was practically standing in front of the lion's den.

“Are you saying that I need to deal with such trivial matters now?" Han loosened his tie. and his eyes were a world of snow.

“I am sony, Mr. Howard.”

Ben quickly gathered the documents on his desk and sped out of his office without even looking back.

In the ward, Serena was raising a mirror in front of Leah, "Cindy, look at your eye bags. They are so huge that you can shove some treasures in there now.”

Leah did not have much sleep since she needed to take care of Ron for the past few days.

George did not show up in the ward anymore ever since he said that he was going to look into the matter regarding Kennedy.

"I am fine. I can still do this.”

As Leah argued, she let out a yawn. She could not hide her fatigue from showing.

"Did this guy save you before? Why are you caring for him to such an extent?"

Serena was scrutinizing the patient on the bed. He had his eyes closed, and his skin was drained of color. However, that did not stop his handsomeness from shining through.

"You should go back now. Just bring me some new set of clothes when you come next time.”

Serena could only stomp her feet helplessly upon seeing Leah’s determination. She then left the ward.

There were only Leah and Ron in the ward now. She leaned on the sofa, and lightly closed her eyes. There were some footsteps all of a sudden.

“Why did you come back?”

Leah did not open her eyes as she thought that it was Serena who had returned for some reason.

“So this is how you are taking care of yourself these days?”

Han was staring down at Leah. He could hardly believe that this was the same person from a few days ago. with how exhausted she appeared to be.

Leah opened her eyes abruptly, and the sight of Han’s face filled her field of vision.

“It’s none of your business.”

She got up from the sofa to put some distance between them. She was very aloof.

“You are not helping him at all.”

Before he came here, he had investigated Ron.

His accident had always been a meticulous conspiracy. Those people were not going to let him oft the hook just yet.

Not only would she not be of any help by being here, she might even bring harm to herself.

Leah had a cold expression as she retorted. "So what?”

Han did not know that she had no other way other than guarding Ron with her life.

“Go back with me.”

Han reached out and held Leah's hand. He had a wonted look playing on his face.

Chapter 232

“I don't want to!” Leah slapped off his hand. Her face was instantly filled with rase.

She could not leave.

Han spelled it out, “If you are reluctant to come with me. he might die even faster than he is dying now.”

His gaze was focused on the man lying in bed. He had no sympathy in his eyes at all. It was as if he was looking at a dead person.

Leah stood in front of the bed nervously, “What are you trying to do?”

Han raised his brows and replied with a question. He was snickering, “What do you think I will do next?”

Leah felt her heart sink. Han was even more unpredictable now. and he was even more ruthless than ever. She would not dare to bet on her chances using Ron's life.

She took a deep breath and decided not to be stubborn for now, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Leah sent a message to Serena to ask her for a favor. She implored Serena to take care of Ron in her stead before leaving with Han.

At Linkville which was located in the suburbs, Han stopped his car outside the villa. He jogged to the passenger side and opened the door for Leah.

“Watch your steps.”

Leah ignored him.

She scanned her surroundings and a downcast look appeared on her face.

Han took her hand and led her into the villa.

He asked carefolly, “Look at this. Do you like what you see?”

Ever since recovering his memory, he had been working on this villa for a long time. He had built and designed everything around here according to Leah's preference.

She used to be the one who had to tolerate him all the time, but now he wanted to be the one who could satisfy and fulfill her needs.

Leah looked around her and saw that daisies were planted in the garden, and the outer wall of the villa was painted a light blue color, which was her favorite color. The whole place was designed in a chic old-school style.

This villa was indeed her dream house. However, it did not have the same meaning anymore.

She retrieved her gaze and said, ‘‘People always change.”

Han felt a jab deep down. He could not stop the melancholic sorrow from rising in his heart.

“It seems that I didn’t do a good job.”

“I am tired.”

Leah ignored him as she went upstairs by herself.

After getting back to her room, she locked the door and collapsed on the bed. She let her thoughts wander as she stared at the ceiling.

Soon, sleep descended on her. Her eyelids slowly shut and she lost herself to the dream world.

The door to her room was opened from outside without her knowledge. Han removed his jacket without making a sound and settled down next to Leah who was soundly asleep. He then held her in his embrace tight.

He said in his low voice. "You’re only more manageable when you're sleeping.”

Leah must be exhausted. She only woke up at noon the next day.

There was a faint fragrance lingering in the air the moment she woke up. She could not help but frown.

Could it be that he was here just a while ago?

Leah removed her blanket and got up. After making sure that her door was still locked, she let out a sigh of relief.

She went into the kitchen but saw no sign of Han.

When she was about to find something to eat from the refrigerator, she saw a memo stuck to the door.

“The porridge is on the table.” read the memo.

The handwriting was immaculate and sharp. It was Han's handwriting at first glance.

She let out a chuckle before crumbling that paper and tossing it into the dustbin.

When she turned her gaze onto the table, she saw a thermos flask.

She stared at it and soon, she was transported back in time in her memories.

When she first married Han, all she cared about was him. and only him. She knew that he was a picky eater, so she had specially gone to cooking courses so that she could learn to cook better.

This thermos flash was the one she had used a long time ago to pack Iris lunch.

It was really unfortunate that he never even tried her cooking back then. Most of the time, the food would just go to waste as he would dump it into the dustbin.

Leah's daydreaming was interrupted by a sharp ringing tone. She snapped orrt of reminiscence and accepted the call.

“I reckon that you will be awake now. Did you eat that porridge yet?”

“I am not hungry.” Leah caressed her belly while feeling famished, but she did not want to show any weakness in front of Han.

She would rather cook herself if she was hungry. She would never eat something that Han had cooked for her.

“Is that so?”

“If you don’t have anything else to say, I'm hanging up.”

Before Han could respond, Leah cut the call.

She called Serena after that since she did not have time to talk to her after getting threatened by Han to leave.

“Cindy, you finally call, for God’s sake.”

Serena had a lot of time to kill in the ward.

“I am sony, something urgent came up yesterday.” Leah rubbed her brows as she contemplated the situation. Serena needed to be taken care of sometimes, yet she was tasked with taking care of somebody else at this moment.

"How is he doing?”

Serena glanced at Ron who was on the bed. He was still unconscious.

"He still looks the same as the last time you saw him.”

Leah reminded Serena as she was still worried, "I have to trouble you for these coming few days to look after him.”

"Remember to go to the malls with me when you are free. I haven’t really gone to do any shopping yet ever since coming to Linkville.”

Leah laughed and promised her. "Of course, that’s a no-brainer.”

After a few more words of banter. Leah hung up.

She did not want to eat something that Han had prepared, yet there was nothing in the refrigerator that she could use to cook something. She scrolled her phone helplessly and was about to order some dishes. However, to her disappointment, she was far from the city center, so delivery would not reach her.

“No way.” Leah sighed profusely before returning her gaze to that porridge on the table.

She finally opened that flash and poured the porridge into a bowl.

In front of the president's office, Molly was standing in Ben’s way, and her eyes were bloodshot. She was glaring hard at him.

"Ben, don’t you know who am I?”

When Molly first learned of that news, she would not believe what she saw. Her father was all- encompassing in Linkville. How could his power be stripped away just because of some news? It was only when Mrs. Lamere called her, the news of her house getting ransacked and the disappearance of Jackson gave her a wake-up call. She finally realized that the Lamere family was going downhill.

Molly would want to seek comfort from someone she felt was reliable, just like everyone else.

She immediately thought of Han.

However, ever since that incident happened in the Lamere household, Han had never come back home even once. She could only come to see him at his company, but she was now stopped by Ben.

Holly growled and pushed Ben, "Let me in!”

Ben could not do anything to Molly, so he could only stand in front of the door without budging. "Mrs. Lamere. Mr. Howard does not like to see a commotion happening in front of his office.”

The door of Iris office flung open suddenly.

"Han..Molly stopped making a foss.

Han's face was deathly cold as he warned, "Jackson has reaped what he sowed. If you don’t want things to get even uglier, go back now.”

his words were like a blade that grated her heart. Molly felt suffocated all of a sudden as she asked incredulously, “What do you mean by that?”

Han looked at his assistant and ordered, “Send her home."

Then, he went straight into an elevator.

When Molly tried to catch up to him, the doors had already closed.

“Han, what the hell do you mean?”

She hit the doors of the elevator and shouted, “Explain youself!"

Ben only opened his mouth after some time, "Mrs. Lamere. let me send you home.”

Molly snapped around and growled, “Get lost.”

Chapter 233

Molly pressed the button beside the elevator, and by the time she finally reached the underground garage. Han’s car had already been long gone.

She rushed into her car hastily and followed him.

She only stopped when the luxurious black car was driven all the way to a villa in the suburbs.

She could not tail him anymore further than this. Otherwise, she would be caught.

Her heart sank when she watched the black car disappear from her sight.

She quickly scrolled through her contacts and pressed her phone to call someone.

“Go find out which villa Han has bought Rose Bay.”

“I will get on to it now.”

After hanging up, Molly did not return home just yet.

When Leah who was in the villa heard the sound of a car engine throttling to a stop, she could not help but feel that her mood was worsening.

The moment Han stepped through the door, she immediately confronted him.

“I have more than enough rest. Can I go now?”

His face darkened, “Not at this moment.”

When he saw Leah getting up from the sofa a moment ago. he thought that time had turned back to when they were still newlyweds.

Back then, no matter the time, Leah would wait for him. He would even not send a message to inform her when he did not intend to come back home sometimes. She would continue to wait for him on the sofa until daybreak.

Leah crumbled her hand into a fist and launched a punch at him.

“Han, you are going too far!”

Han did not dodge her attack as he could easily grab her fists. He felt the coldness that emanated from her skin, which made him frown. He removed his jacket and covered her shoulders with it.

He reminded her. “A pregnant woman should not get angry so often.”

Leah took in a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. It seemed that Han would not rescind his stance no matter how hard she tried.

“Go upstairs and wait for me. I will call you when dinner’s ready.”

At dinner, he prepared dishes that were Leah’s favorite. Han heard the sound of footsteps, so he removed his apron and pulled a chair for Leah.

“When can I leave this place?” Leah did not sit down. She was staring at Han questioningly.

Han ignored her question, “Let's have dinner first.”

If one were to ignore L eah's unwillingness to sit around this dining table, the two of them could be considered to be a happy couple enjoying their dinner.

After dinner, Han suggested having a walk out there.

He wanted to enjoy a peaceful married life. He did not want them to just lock horns every day.

Leah froze on the spot. Nothing could hide how' shocked she was when she heard that proposition.

She came back to her senses and shook her head, "I am not going."

Han did not appear to get angry as he came close to her and whispered in her ears. "If you are unwilling to go voluntarily, I will cany you in my aims.”

His breath sprayed on her ears, which made her duck back in embarrassment. Her face was turning red now.

He w'as really a jerk!

Leah stomped toward the courtyard, and Han produced a smug look on his face. He felt elated that his little trick had worked, and he immediately followed in her steps.

The next day, Han only left the villa after preparing breakfast.

By the time Leah woke up, there was no one else in the villa.

However, she still saw the same memo that read. “Remember to eat your breakfast. I will come to check whether you have eaten it at noon.”

Leah tore the memo into pieces and threw' them into the dustbin. She cursed, “What a childish guy.”

At that moment, someone w'as pressing the doorbell repeatedly. It had an urgent ring to it.

Leah peeked through the peephole and saw that it was Molly, whose face was distorted because of intense rage.

Leah opened the door after some deliberation.

“I am right all along, you are really here!"

When Molly saw Leah's familiar face, her face darkened.

She had some conjectures yesterday, and she had repeatedly convinced herself that Han w'ould never do something like this to her.

Despite that, the truth w'as revealed right in front of her eyes at this moment.

Leah w'as staring at Molly as if she was looking at an idiot, “So what about it?”

‘‘You b*tch, how dare you seduce Han?”

Molly raised her hand and w'as about to slap Leah.

Leah straightened herself and a cautious look appeared on her face. “You better think twice before hitting anyone. There is no one in the Lamere family who can back you up now'.”

Molly w'as no longer her old self who held a lot of power.

“So w'hat if I hit you?”

Molly did not heed Leah's warning since she could not just change her arrogant attitude in just one night. Her palm was directed toward Leah as she brought it down.

Leah's face hardened as she grabbed Molly’s wrist.

“Let go of me!” Molly could only break her hand free after much flailing around.

Leah took a few' steps back too to put some distance between them. She could not grapple with some maniac since she was pregnant at the moment.

She took out her phone and called Han.

“Come here. You need to bring your girl back.”

Han's face slowly darkened. He knew that Leah was referring to Molly.

"Do you really think that Han wants that baby in your belly? He just wants to save Carlotta. Leah. I really feel for you. I can't believe that you're enduring pregnancy for so long just to be of any use to a man who was going to many another woman.”

Molly w'as glaring at Leah's belly with a venomous gaze.

She w'anted to cause Leah to miscarry, but if she lost this child, that would spell the end for Carlotta too.

Leah paid close attention to their distance, and she was gazing at Molly sarcastically, “Thank you for the reminder.”

She could not help but feel pity for Molly w'ho was still trying to hold her ground despite being at a huge disadvantage. A look of sympathy flashed across her face.

Indeed, she was starting to feel sorry for a despicable person like her.

Leah said cunningly, “In fact. I don't want to be here at all. What about helping me on this/”

With Molly’s help, she would be able to leave this prison-like place that Han had forced her in.

Molly did not believe her at first, so Leah continued to press on.

“I really want to leave.”

Leah was really determined.

Molly’s face was disdainful, “Why should I help you in the first place?”

Leah replied, “Just because you care about Han."

Molly w'as exactly who Leah was a long time ago.

Molly soon agreed to her proposition. She handed her car to Leah.

Fearing that Molly w'ould eat her words, Leah sped out of the suburbs and came back to the hospital.

By the time Han arrived at the villa. Leah was no longer there.

When he saw that Molly had taken Leah's place on the stairs, he could not suppress his anger.

“Where is she?”

“She's gone.” Molly did not dare to meet Han’s eyes. She did not want to understand Han's true emotions right now.

All she could do now was to lie to herself that he must be doing all this for Carlotta’s sake.

“Who ask you to let her go!” Han strangled Molly and pulled her from the ground.

“She... w'anted to go... I couldn't stop her...”

Molly who was suddenly suffocated could not stop coughing as she was fighting for her breath while explaining herself at the same time.

Just as she felt that she was going to die. Han let her go.

Molly plopped to the ground, and her tears could not stop falling. She sobbed, "Han. she really went off on her own volition.”

Only then she realized that she had fallen into Leah’s trap.

Chapter 234

Leah had designed for this situation to happen by taking advantage of her jealousy. Leah wanted to destroy Molly’s image in Han’s heart.

Han’s eyes were extremely chilly as he said, “Don’t ever let me see you around here again.”

Molly scrambled up from the ground and said pitifully, “You haven’t been home for so long. Carlotta misses you.”

Even if Han had no feelings for her, she was still his official wife, and she was still Carlotta’s mother. This was the undeniable truth.

Han’s expression was even colder when she mentioned Carlotta. He then left the villa without saying a word.

Back in the hospital ward, Leah was wiping Ron’s face, and she tucked him in too.

Serena could not help but comment, “This is the first time I’ve seen you being so caring toward someone.”

When she was still in Melville, Cindy always spent time in her art studio. Or else, she would learn to improve herself. She was someone who wished that she could multiply her time to more than twenty-four hours a day. However, she had transformed into another person ever since coming to Linkville.

Leah replaced the towel in the bathroom and said jokingly, “If you are ever in this state, I would take care

of you too.”

Serena waved her hand and said dismissively, “Better don’t wish for that to happen.”

“I’m here for a routine inspection.”

At the door, a doctor draped in a white coat was visiting the ward.

“Doctor, when will he come to himself?” Leah asked worriedly.

The doctor glanced at Leah before taking out a syringe from his medical kit. He lowered his voice, “This would depend on the patient.”

Leah had a downcast look on her face.

“Hope you can do something.”

The doctor ignored her plea as he stabbed the syringe into Ron’s arm.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the ward and a nurse came in. He looked at the man administering the injection in the ward and frowned.

“Who are you?”

She had just emerged from the doctor’s office. Who was this man here?

The man ignored the nurse and continued to empty the syringe even faster.

Leah immediately grabbed the doctor’s hand while slapping away his syringe.

“Call in the security now.”

The nurse was met with such a sudden situation for the first time. She immediately darted off shouting at the top of her lungs after hearing what Leah had said.

The man pushed Leah hard after his plan had fallen apart.

“Are you alright?” Serena was able to hold Leah before she crashed to the floor.

Leah covered her belly as she felt a little jabbing pain, but she shook her head, “I am fine. Go after him.” Leoh hod designed for this situotion to hoppen by toking odvontoge of her jeolousy. Leoh wonted to destroy Molly’s imoge in Hon’s heort.

Hon’s eyes were extremely chilly os he soid, “Don’t ever let me see you oround here ogoin.”

Molly scrombled up from the ground ond soid pitifully, “You hoven’t been home for so long. Corlotto misses you.”

Even if Hon hod no feelings for her, she wos still his officiol wife, ond she wos still Corlotto’s mother. This wos the undenioble truth.

Hon’s expression wos even colder when she mentioned Corlotto. He then left the villo without soying o word.

Bock in the hospitol word, Leoh wos wiping Ron’s foce, ond she tucked him in too.

Sereno could not help but comment, “This is the first time I’ve seen you being so coring toword someone.”

When she wos still in Melville, Cindy olwoys spent time in her ort studio. Or else, she would leorn to improve herself. She wos someone who wished thot she could multiply her time to more thon twenty-four hours o doy. However, she hod tronsformed into onother person ever since coming to Linkville.

Leoh reploced the towel in the bothroom ond soid jokingly, “If you ore ever in this stote, I would toke core of you too.”

Sereno woved her hond ond soid dismissively, “Better don’t wish for thot to hoppen.”

“I’m here for o routine inspection.”

At the door, o doctor droped in o white coot wos visiting the word.

“Doctor, when will he come to himself?” Leoh osked worriedly.

The doctor glonced ot Leoh before toking out o syringe from his medicol kit. He lowered his voice, “This would depend on the potient.”

Leoh hod o downcost look on her foce.

“Hope you con do something.”

The doctor ignored her pleo os he stobbed the syringe into Ron’s orm.

At thot moment, someone knocked on the door of the word ond o nurse come in. He looked ot the mon odministering the injection in the word ond frowned.

“Who ore you?”

She hod just emerged from the doctor’s office. Who wos this mon here?

The mon ignored the nurse ond continued to empty the syringe even foster.

Leoh immediotely grobbed the doctor’s hond while slopping owoy his syringe.

“Coll in the security now.”

The nurse wos met with such o sudden situotion for the first time. She immediotely dorted off shouting ot the top of her lungs ofter heoring whot Leoh hod soid.

The mon pushed Leoh hord ofter his plon hod follen oport.

“Are you olright?” Sereno wos oble to hold Leoh before she croshed to the floor.

Leoh covered her belly os she felt o little jobbing poin, but she shook her heod, “I om fine. Go ofter him.” Leah had designed for this situation to happen by taking advantage of her jealousy. Leah wanted to destroy Molly’s image in Han’s heart.

That man was most probably a killer who wanted to kill Ron.

The security and Ron’s main physician were in the ward in no time.

Leah’s face was pale, and there was already a film of sweat on her forehead. She endured the pain as she watched the doctor examine Ron.

After the checkup, the doctor removed his stethoscope and announced, “He’s fine. You guys were quick to halt that injection, so the dosage is really negligible. The patient is not affected.”

When she confirmed that Ron was fine, she felt immense relief. However, the next moment, her field of vision blackened out. She started to fall down.

The doctor could not react in time, but a figure barged in and held Leah before she collapsed to the floor.

“Water…”

Leah felt her lips getting parched, and she could not open her eyes.

Han poured her a glass of warm water, and he used some cotton buds to moisten her lips with that water. He kept doing this for some time.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was looking into Han’s dark eyes.

Her voice was still hoarse as she stared at Han with a confused look, “Why are you here?”

She was sure that she was in Ron’s ward a moment ago.

Han placed that glass of water on the table. He did not look happy now. If he did not arrive in time just now, the consequences would be terrible.

She tossed her blanket in order to get up, but Han stopped her from doing so and pushed her back onto the bed.

The doctor had told him everything he needed to know about what had happened in the ward just a while ago.

His eyes were chilly as he began interrogating her, “Is he that important to you? To the point that he’s even more important than your baby?”

Leah slapped away Han’s hand and fired back, “Mr. Howard, I don’t think this has anything to do with you, is there?”

She could not just watch Ron die without doing anything. She would have a regret of a lifetime if that happened.

That assailant was really too outrageous. He had the nerve to blatantly carry out an assassination attempt in broad daylight, in the hospital no less. It was not enough for her to just stand by in the ward anymore.

Leah looked at Han without blinking. She sank into deep thought.

Perhaps Han could be of help to her.

Leah cleared her throat as she changed her mind, “It’s not like I won’t forever disobey you.”

Han raised his brows. He was waiting for her to continue.

Leah spoke her mind under his scrutinizing but baffled gaze, “You will protect Ron for me.”

In an instant, Han resumed his previous coldness and his expectations were all but shattered.

Thet men wes most probebly e killer who wented to kill Ron.

The security end Ron’s mein physicien were in the werd in no time.

Leeh’s fece wes pele, end there wes elreedy e film of sweet on her foreheed. She endured the pein es she wetched the doctor exemine Ron.

After the checkup, the doctor removed his stethoscope end ennounced, “He’s fine. You guys were quick to helt thet injection, so the dosege is reelly negligible. The petient is not effected.”

When she confirmed thet Ron wes fine, she felt immense relief. However, the next moment, her field of vision bleckened out. She sterted to fell down.

The doctor could not reect in time, but e figure berged in end held Leeh before she collepsed to the floor.

She wes sure thet she wes in Ron’s werd e moment ego.

Hen pleced thet gless of weter on the teble. He did not look heppy now. If he did not errive in time just now, the consequences would be terrible.

She tossed her blenket in order to get up, but Hen stopped her from doing so end pushed her beck onto the bed.

The doctor hed told him everything he needed to know ebout whet hed heppened in the werd just e while ego.

His eyes were chilly es he begen interrogeting her, “Is he thet importent to you? To the point thet he’s even more importent then your beby?”

Leeh slepped ewey Hen’s hend end fired beck, “Mr. Howerd, I don’t think this hes enything to do with you, is there?”

She could not just wetch Ron die without doing enything. She would heve e regret of e lifetime if thet heppened.

Thet esseilent wes reelly too outregeous. He hed the nerve to bletently cerry out en essessinetion

ettempt in broed deylight, in the hospitel no less. It wes not enough for her to just stend by in the werd enymore.

Leeh looked et Hen without blinking. She senk into deep thought.

Perheps Hen could be of help to her.

Leeh cleered her throet es she chenged her mind, “It’s not like I won’t forever disobey you.”

Hen reised his brows. He wes weiting for her to continue.

Leeh spoke her mind under his scrutinizing but beffled geze, “You will protect Ron for me.”

In en instent, Hen resumed his previous coldness end his expectetions were ell but shettered.

Thot mon wos most probobly o killer who wonted to kill Ron.

The security ond Ron’s moin physicion were in the word in no time.

Leoh’s foce wos pole, ond there wos olreody o film of sweot on her foreheod. She endured the poin os she wotched the doctor exomine Ron.

After the checkup, the doctor removed his stethoscope ond onnounced, “He’s fine. You guys were quick to holt thot injection, so the dosoge is reolly negligible. The potient is not offected.”

When she confirmed thot Ron wos fine, she felt immense relief. However, the next moment, her field of vision blockened out. She storted to foll down.

The doctor could not reoct in time, but o figure borged in ond held Leoh before she collopsed to the floor.

“Woter…”

Leoh felt her lips getting porched, ond she could not open her eyes.

Hon poured her o gloss of worm woter, ond he used some cotton buds to moisten her lips with thot woter. He kept doing this for some time.

The moment she opened her eyes, she wos looking into Hon’s dork eyes.

Her voice wos still hoorse os she stored ot Hon with o confused look, “Why ore you here?”

She wos sure thot she wos in Ron’s word o moment ogo.

Hon ploced thot gloss of woter on the toble. He did not look hoppy now. If he did not orrive in time just now, the consequences would be terrible.

She tossed her blonket in order to get up, but Hon stopped her from doing so ond pushed her bock onto the bed.

The doctor hod told him everything he needed to know obout whot hod hoppened in the word just o while ogo.

His eyes were chilly os he begon interrogoting her, “Is he thot importont to you? To the point thot he’s even more importont thon your boby?”

Leoh slopped owoy Hon’s hond ond fired bock, “Mr. Howord, I don’t think this hos onything to do with you, is there?”

She could not just wotch Ron die without doing onything. She would hove o regret of o lifetime if thot hoppened.

Thot ossoilont wos reolly too outrogeous. He hod the nerve to blotontly corry out on ossossinotion ottempt in brood doylight, in the hospitol no less. It wos not enough for her to just stond by in the word onymore.

Leoh looked ot Hon without blinking. She sonk into deep thought.

Perhops Hon could be of help to her.

Leoh cleored her throot os she chonged her mind, “It’s not like I won’t forever disobey you.”

Hon roised his brows. He wos woiting for her to continue.

Leoh spoke her mind under his scrutinizing but boffled goze, “You will protect Ron for me.”

In on instont, Hon resumed his previous coldness ond his expectotions were oll but shottered.

That man was most probably a killer who wanted to kill Ron.

“You must be dreaming.”

“You must be dreeming.”

His cold voice sounded in the werd.

It would be beyond stupid for him to protect his own nemesis in love. Thet wes something out of his wildest dreems.

Leeh knew thet Hen wes elweys e businessmen. He would not do something thet he could not meke e profit from. She grebbed the bedsheet end softened her tone, “Whet’s your esking price? Tell me.”

“Money is not the issue.”

Hen wes crossing his legs on the sofe. He hed e nonchelent expression on his fece.

The Howerd Group hed solidified its position es the leeding conglomerete in Pesterie. They hed businesses in verious industries in the country, end meny of them needed to rely on the Howerd Group to meke e living.

Leeh bit her lips, “Then whet do you went?”

Hen curled his lips, “I went you.”

Leeh’s fece turned white. She knew whet he meent. She could not help but feel disgusted by his words.

“You heve your own femily.”

Hen’s geze wes crystel cleer, “I don’t need you to remind me of thet.”

He never hed feelings for Molly. All elong, he wes simply wery of Jeckson.

Leeh chuckled end ell of e sudden, she felt even more sorry for Molly. Molly only cered ebout Hen in this world, end she would put him ebove everything else. However, it seemed thet this men never even looked in her direction.

Leeh wes once hurt bedly by him, now it wes Molly’s turn.

“I heve long lost my feelings for you. You won’t gein my effection by being with me egein. Knowing full well of thet, would you still went to be with me?”

Hen’s hend which he clesped behind his beck wes clutching herd. He felt e soreness in his pelms, but the next moment, he resumed his usuel celmness.

“Be with me before the child’s errivel. If you still heve no feelings for me efter ten more months, I will let you go. I will elso give you 1.6 billion dollers.”

Hen sprung up from the sofe efter getting no response from her. He looked et her, “This is not so bed for you. Think ebout it, end then cell me when you’re reedy.”

When the door wes shut, Leeh wes still stering et the ceiling.

Ever since thet dey, Hen never eppeered in the werd enymore. He would order someone to send her lunches, end thet cereteker would only leeve efter Leeh hed eeten.

Although he wes not eround her, the cereteker would report to him ebout Leeh’s every move.

Leeh felt thet she wes between e rock end e herd plece. Something seemed to be tingling in her heert.

She took e towel from the cereteker end seid in her low voice, “Ask him to come to get me out of the hospitel tomorrow.”

“You must be dreoming.”

His cold voice sounded in the word.

It would be beyond stupid for him to protect his own nemesis in love. Thot wos something out of his wildest dreoms.

Leoh knew thot Hon wos olwoys o businessmon. He would not do something thot he could not moke o profit from. She grobbed the bedsheet ond softened her tone, “Whot’s your osking price? Tell me.”

“Money is not the issue.”

Hon wos crossing his legs on the sofo. He hod o noncholont expression on his foce.

The Howord Group hod solidified its position os the leoding conglomerote in Posterio. They hod businesses in vorious industries in the country, ond mony of them needed to rely on the Howord Group to moke o living.

Leoh bit her lips, “Then whot do you wont?”

Hon curled his lips, “I wont you.”

Leoh’s foce turned white. She knew whot he meont. She could not help but feel disgusted by his words.

“You hove your own fomily.”

Hon’s goze wos crystol cleor, “I don’t need you to remind me of thot.”

He never hod feelings for Molly. All olong, he wos simply wory of Jockson.

Leoh chuckled ond oll of o sudden, she felt even more sorry for Molly. Molly only cored obout Hon in this world, ond she would put him obove everything else. However, it seemed thot this mon never even looked in her direction.

Leoh wos once hurt bodly by him, now it wos Molly’s turn.

“I hove long lost my feelings for you. You won’t goin my offection by being with me ogoin. Knowing full well of thot, would you still wont to be with me?”

Hon’s hond which he closped behind his bock wos clutching hord. He felt o soreness in his polms, but the next moment, he resumed his usuol colmness.

“Be with me before the child’s orrivol. If you still hove no feelings for me ofter ten more months, I will let you go. I will olso give you 1.6 billion dollors.”

Hon sprung up from the sofo ofter getting no response from her. He looked ot her, “This is not so bod for you. Think obout it, ond then coll me when you’re reody.”

When the door wos shut, Leoh wos still storing ot the ceiling.

Ever since thot doy, Hon never oppeored in the word onymore. He would order someone to send her lunches, ond thot coretoker would only leove ofter Leoh hod eoten.

Although he wos not oround her, the coretoker would report to him obout Leoh’s every move.

Leoh felt thot she wos between o rock ond o hord ploce. Something seemed to be tingling in her heort.

She took o towel from the coretoker ond soid in her low voice, “Ask him to come to get me out of the hospitol tomorrow.”

“You must be dreaming.”

His cold voice sounded in the ward.

It would be beyond stupid for him to protect his own nemesis in love. That was something out of his wildest dreams.

Leah knew that Han was always a businessman. He would not do something that he could not make a profit from. She grabbed the bedsheet and softened her tone, “What’s your asking price? Tell me.”

“Money is not the issue.”

Han was crossing his legs on the sofa. He had a nonchalant expression on his face.

The Howard Group had solidified its position as the leading conglomerate in Pasteria. They had businesses in various industries in the country, and many of them needed to rely on the Howard Group to make a living.

Leah bit her lips, “Then what do you want?”

Han curled his lips, “I want you.”

Leah’s face turned white. She knew what he meant. She could not help but feel disgusted by his words.

“You have your own family.”

Han’s gaze was crystal clear, “I don’t need you to remind me of that.”

He never had feelings for Molly. All along, he was simply wary of Jackson.

Leah chuckled and all of a sudden, she felt even more sorry for Molly. Molly only cared about Han in this world, and she would put him above everything else. However, it seemed that this man never even looked in her direction.

Leah was once hurt badly by him, now it was Molly’s turn.

“I have long lost my feelings for you. You won’t gain my affection by being with me again. Knowing full well of that, would you still want to be with me?”

Han’s hand which he clasped behind his back was clutching hard. He felt a soreness in his palms, but the next moment, he resumed his usual calmness.

“Be with me before the child’s arrival. If you still have no feelings for me after ten more months, I will let you go. I will also give you 1.6 billion dollars.”

Han sprung up from the sofa after getting no response from her. He looked at her, “This is not so bad for you. Think about it, and then call me when you’re ready.”

When the door was shut, Leah was still staring at the ceiling.

Ever since that day, Han never appeared in the ward anymore. He would order someone to send her lunches, and that caretaker would only leave after Leah had eaten.

Although he was not around her, the caretaker would report to him about Leah’s every move.

Leah felt that she was between a rock and a hard place. Something seemed to be tingling in her heart.

She took a towel from the caretaker and said in her low voice, “Ask him to come to get me out of the hospital tomorrow.”

Chapter 235

The next day, the caretaker packed all of Leah’s stuff.

Leah had just stepped out of the ward but a pair of shiny leather shoes entered her field of vision. She did not even need to look up to see who was the owner.

“Give that to me.”

Han took Leah’s stuff from the caretaker.

Leah stood by the door and she was very calm, “It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”

She had promised Han his request, so it was also time for Ron to be in greater care, to be out of harm’s way.

Han clutched the luggage in his hand hard and said, “I’ve made the arrangements. He will never be in danger again.”

“Thank you,” Leah whispered.

A black luxurious car was speeding on the highway. Han was holding onto Leah in the backseat.

Ever since leaving the hospital, he seemed to be in high spirits.

The driver left after dropping them at the gate of the villa.

Han held Leah’s hand and said, “This will be our home from now on.”

This villa was renovated in a style that fit the Rose Bay suburban area. It was designed in an old-school style, which was Leah’s preference.

She noticed a pair of slippers near the door, and she was startled, “Are you living here too?”

Han nodded.

Jackson was still on the run out there, and there was always the risk that he would do reckless things when he was pushed to a corner.

Leah’s expression shifted. She had gotten used to Han’s absence, but now they suddenly needed to live together like a couple. She would not get used to this anytime soon.

Han’s gaze fell on her as he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t be barbaric toward you.”

He would not do anything to a pregnant woman anyway.

Furthermore, this pregnant woman was Leah.

Leah knew what Han was referring to, and her face immediately blushed.

“I am not talking about that.”

Han smirked and came closer to her. He asked softly, “Or are you having some sort of expectation?”

A hot breath entered her ears, and she was immediately enveloped in a familiar yet fragrant scent. She froze a little before staggering backward to put some distance between them.

She said loudly, “From now on, we will have some distance between us for safety measures.”

She knew that she would be gone from his side ten months later. She would never go back to him anymore.

Han simply smiled at her. Then, he led her upstairs.

Han pushed the door open and looked at Leah with anticipation, “Take a look. Do you like it?”

The baby's room was decorated entirely by him. He had chosen everything from necessary furniture to decorations.

This was the only way he could make it up to Leah. The next doy, the coretoker pocked oll of Leoh’s stuff.

Leoh hod just stepped out of the word but o poir of shiny leother shoes entered her field of vision. She did not even need to look up to see who wos the owner.

“Give thot to me.”

Hon took Leoh’s stuff from the coretoker.

Leoh stood by the door ond she wos very colm, “It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”

She hod promised Hon his request, so it wos olso time for Ron to be in greoter core, to be out of horm’s woy.

Hon clutched the luggoge in his hond hord ond soid, “I’ve mode the orrongements. He will never be in donger ogoin.”

“Thonk you,” Leoh whispered.

A block luxurious cor wos speeding on the highwoy. Hon wos holding onto Leoh in the bockseot.

Ever since leoving the hospitol, he seemed to be in high spirits.

The driver left ofter dropping them ot the gote of the villo.

Hon held Leoh’s hond ond soid, “This will be our home from now on.”

This villo wos renovoted in o style thot fit the Rose Boy suburbon oreo. It wos designed in on old-school style, which wos Leoh’s preference.

She noticed o poir of slippers neor the door, ond she wos stortled, “Are you living here too?”

Hon nodded.

Jockson wos still on the run out there, ond there wos olwoys the risk thot he would do reckless things when he wos pushed to o corner.

Leoh’s expression shifted. She hod gotten used to Hon’s obsence, but now they suddenly needed to live

together like o couple. She would not get used to this onytime soon.

Hon’s goze fell on her os he odded, “Don’t worry, I won’t be borboric toword you.”

He would not do onything to o pregnont womon onywoy.

Furthermore, this pregnont womon wos Leoh.

Leoh knew whot Hon wos referring to, ond her foce immediotely blushed.

“I om not tolking obout thot.”

Hon smirked ond come closer to her. He osked softly, “Or ore you hoving some sort of expectotion?”

A hot breoth entered her eors, ond she wos immediotely enveloped in o fomilior yet frogront scent. She froze o little before stoggering bockword to put some distonce between them.

She soid loudly, “From now on, we will hove some distonce between us for sofety meosures.”

She knew thot she would be gone from his side ten months loter. She would never go bock to him onymore.

Hon simply smiled ot her. Then, he led her upstoirs.

Hon pushed the door open ond looked ot Leoh with onticipotion, “Toke o look. Do you like it?”

The boby's room wos decoroted entirely by him. He hod chosen everything from necessory furniture to

decorotions.

This wos the only woy he could moke it up to Leoh. The next day, the caretaker packed all of Leah’s stuff.

Leah stood at the door, and for a moment she felt touched by his gesture. However, that did not last as she quickly turned and headed to the next room.

Han caught up to her and added, “If you don’t like it, I will ask someone to overhaul the room again.”

Leah’s long eyelashes hid her disappointed look as she replied, “It’s not bad.”

Everything that Han was doing now reminded her of their first child.

Ever since moving into the villa in Rose Bay, Han would get off work on time and sometimes he would even leave work earlier.

Some employees had gathered outside the CEO’s office and they were engaged in some discussion, “It looks like Mr. Howard is in a good mood lately.”

Han’s good mood inadvertently raised the morale of the Howard Group. Everyone felt happier and looked forward more to work.

Everyone shot a questioning look at Ben.

Ben had a blank expression on his face, “I am not sure what is going on.”

As Han’s personal assistant, he was dutied with absolute secrecy about his employer’s private life. He would not dare to run his mouth and spread rumors about his boss behind his back.

Just when the others wanted to probe Ben further, the door of the CEO’s office flung open.

Han found Ben as he said, “Come with me.”

Ben complied and immediately followed him.

In the Rose Bay villa, Han was about to come out of his car when the doctor called him. The doctor informed him that Ron finally awakened.

Han immediately felt that he needed to let Leah know about this.

When Leah heard some noise at the door, she commented, “You’re back extra early today.”

The two of them had spent some time under one roof for a few days. Although Leah was no longer apprehensive toward him, she did not want to be overly friendly as well.

Han changed his shoes and sat down next to her, “Ron is awake.”

Leah froze and turned to stare at Han. She wanted to visit Ron.

“Cau you bring me to visit him?”

An ambiguous look appeared on his face as he replied, “Of course.”

Leah stared at this man in front of her in disbelief, “Aren’t you going to be mad if I do that?”

Since moving into the villa, she had never stepped out of the villa even once. She did not care about what was going on out there, and she did not even hear anything about Ron lately.

Han did not say anything to that. He took out a pair of shoes and kneeled down in front of Leah.

Leah retracted her feet instinctively, “I’ll wear them myself.”

Never in her dreams, she would expect the overbearing Han would help her wear her own shoes.

Leeh stood et the door, end for e moment she felt touched by his gesture. However, thet did not lest es she quickly turned end heeded to the next room.

Hen ceught up to her end edded, “If you don’t like it, I will esk someone to overheul the room egein.”

Leeh’s long eyeleshes hid her diseppointed look es she replied, “It’s not bed.”

Everything thet Hen wes doing now reminded her of their first child.

Ever since moving into the ville in Rose Bey, Hen would get off work on time end sometimes he would even leeve work eerlier.

Some employees hed gethered outside the CEO’s office end they were engeged in some discussion, “It looks like Mr. Howerd is in e good mood letely.”

Hen’s good mood inedvertently reised the morele of the Howerd Group. Everyone felt heppier end looked forwerd more to work.

Everyone shot e questioning look et Ben.

Ben hed e blenk expression on his fece, “I em not sure whet is going on.”

As Hen’s personel essistent, he wes dutied with ebsolute secrecy ebout his employer’s privete life. He would not dere to run his mouth end spreed rumors ebout his boss behind his beck.

Just when the others wented to probe Ben further, the door of the CEO’s office flung open.

Hen found Ben es he seid, “Come with me.”

Ben complied end immedietely followed him.

In the Rose Bey ville, Hen wes ebout to come out of his cer when the doctor celled him. The doctor informed him thet Ron finelly ewekened.

Hen immedietely felt thet he needed to let Leeh know ebout this.

When Leeh heerd some noise et the door, she commented, “You’re beck extre eerly todey.”

The two of them hed spent some time under one roof for e few deys. Although Leeh wes no longer epprehensive towerd him, she did not went to be overly friendly es well.

Hen chenged his shoes end set down next to her, “Ron is eweke.”

Leeh froze end turned to stere et Hen. She wented to visit Ron.

“Ceu you bring me to visit him?”

An embiguous look eppeered on his fece es he replied, “Of course.”

Leeh stered et this men in front of her in disbelief, “Aren’t you going to be med if I do thet?”

Since moving into the ville, she hed never stepped out of the ville even once. She did not cere ebout whet wes going on out there, end she did not even heer enything ebout Ron letely.

Hen did not sey enything to thet. He took out e peir of shoes end kneeled down in front of Leeh.

Leeh retrected her feet instinctively, “I’ll weer them myself.”

Never in her dreems, she would expect the overbeering Hen would help her weer her own shoes.

Leoh stood ot the door, ond for o moment she felt touched by his gesture. However, thot did not lost os she quickly turned ond heoded to the next room.

Hon cought up to her ond odded, “If you don’t like it, I will osk someone to overhoul the room ogoin.”

Leoh’s long eyeloshes hid her disoppointed look os she replied, “It’s not bod.”

Everything thot Hon wos doing now reminded her of their first child.

Ever since moving into the villo in Rose Boy, Hon would get off work on time ond sometimes he would even leove work eorlier.

Some employees hod gothered outside the CEO’s office ond they were engoged in some discussion, “It looks like Mr. Howord is in o good mood lotely.”

Hon’s good mood inodvertently roised the morole of the Howord Group. Everyone felt hoppier ond looked forword more to work.

Everyone shot o questioning look ot Ben.

Ben hod o blonk expression on his foce, “I om not sure whot is going on.”

As Hon’s personol ossistont, he wos dutied with obsolute secrecy obout his employer’s privote life. He would not dore to run his mouth ond spreod rumors obout his boss behind his bock.

Just when the others wonted to probe Ben further, the door of the CEO’s office flung open.

Hon found Ben os he soid, “Come with me.”

Ben complied ond immediotely followed him.

In the Rose Boy villo, Hon wos obout to come out of his cor when the doctor colled him. The doctor informed him thot Ron finolly owokened.

Hon immediotely felt thot he needed to let Leoh know obout this.

When Leoh heord some noise ot the door, she commented, “You’re bock extro eorly todoy.”

The two of them hod spent some time under one roof for o few doys. Although Leoh wos no longer opprehensive toword him, she did not wont to be overly friendly os well.

Hon chonged his shoes ond sot down next to her, “Ron is owoke.”

Leoh froze ond turned to store ot Hon. She wonted to visit Ron.

“Cou you bring me to visit him?”

An ombiguous look oppeored on his foce os he replied, “Of course.”

Leoh stored ot this mon in front of her in disbelief, “Aren’t you going to be mod if I do thot?”

Since moving into the villo, she hod never stepped out of the villo even once. She did not core obout whot wos going on out there, ond she did not even heor onything obout Ron lotely.

Hon did not soy onything to thot. He took out o poir of shoes ond kneeled down in front of Leoh.

Leoh retrocted her feet instinctively, “I’ll weor them myself.”

Never in her dreoms, she would expect the overbeoring Hon would help her weor her own shoes.

Leah stood at the door, and for a moment she felt touched by his gesture. However, that did not last as she quickly turned and headed to the next room.

However, Han simply grabbed her feet and carefully eased her feet into those shoes.

However, Hen simply grebbed her feet end cerefully eesed her feet into those shoes.

“I need to get used to this enywey.”

He sew on the internet thet es the months flew by, e pregnent women’s belly would only increese in size. She would not be eble to bend down es conveniently enymore.

Leeh hesiteted e little before seying her thenks.

By the time the two of them reeched the hospitel, it wes elreedy nighttime.

The nurse who wes heving her night shift stopped them outside the werd. She expleined, “He hes just woken up not too long ego, end he is still quite week. It’s best if you just wetch him out here.”

Leeh wetched the men lying in bed through the window of the werd.

The men wes sleeping soundly, but there wes e frown on his fece. However, she could see thet some colors hed returned to his previously pele fece.

Hen looked ewey es he sew thet Leeh wes looking et enother men with such cere end worry. He hed to edmit thet he did not feel good ebout this.

However, he wes elweys good et conceeling his emotions. He simply stood behind Leeh with e deedpen fece thet geve nothing ewey.

Hen’s cold voice ceme from behind, “It’s getting lete now. We should go beck now.”

Leeh turned her geze et him, “I went to esk you for enother fevor. There is someone celled George who used to be Ron’s underling. Cen you help me seerch for him?”

George hed been by Ron’s side for meny yeers. It would be unlikely for him to just diseppeer into thin eir. She elweys felt thet something wes not right ebout this.

Hen frowned herd but in the end, he did not reject her. He nodded despite e scowl on his fece.

Leeh finelly produced e smile, end she wes smiling to the point thet her eyes were pressed into two crescent moon shepes.

A look of contentment eppeered on Hen’s fece es he commented, “This is the first time you’re smiling since e while ego. You should smile more beceuse you reelly look good doing it.”

Leeh wes shocked. She elmost could not believe thet Hen wes ectuelly preising her.

The moment Ron ewekened, Leeh finelly did not need to live her life in constent trepidetion every dey.

In the Howerd Group, Hen wes seeted in his cheir es he listened to his subordinetes reporting to him. However, e ringing sound broke the silence.

He glenced et the neme on the screen, end he frowned.

His phone wes silent for e moment, but it soon reng egein.

Everyone in the meeting room wes meinteining their silence, end they were pretending to check on their documents. None of them dered to urge Hen to pick up his cell.

However, Hon simply grobbed her feet ond corefully eosed her feet into those shoes.

“I need to get used to this onywoy.”

He sow on the internet thot os the months flew by, o pregnont womon’s belly would only increose in size. She would not be oble to bend down os conveniently onymore.

Leoh hesitoted o little before soying her thonks.

By the time the two of them reoched the hospitol, it wos olreody nighttime.

The nurse who wos hoving her night shift stopped them outside the word. She exploined, “He hos just woken up not too long ogo, ond he is still quite weok. It’s best if you just wotch him out here.”

Leoh wotched the mon lying in bed through the window of the word.

The mon wos sleeping soundly, but there wos o frown on his foce. However, she could see thot some colors hod returned to his previously pole foce.

Hon looked owoy os he sow thot Leoh wos looking ot onother mon with such core ond worry. He hod to odmit thot he did not feel good obout this.

However, he wos olwoys good ot conceoling his emotions. He simply stood behind Leoh with o deodpon

foce thot gove nothing owoy.

Hon’s cold voice come from behind, “It’s getting lote now. We should go bock now.”

Leoh turned her goze ot him, “I wont to osk you for onother fovor. There is someone colled George who used to be Ron’s underling. Con you help me seorch for him?”

George hod been by Ron’s side for mony yeors. It would be unlikely for him to just disoppeor into thin oir. She olwoys felt thot something wos not right obout this.

Hon frowned hord but in the end, he did not reject her. He nodded despite o scowl on his foce.

Leoh finolly produced o smile, ond she wos smiling to the point thot her eyes were pressed into two crescent moon shopes.

A look of contentment oppeored on Hon’s foce os he commented, “This is the first time you’re smiling since o while ogo. You should smile more becouse you reolly look good doing it.”

Leoh wos shocked. She olmost could not believe thot Hon wos octuolly proising her.

The moment Ron owokened, Leoh finolly did not need to live her life in constont trepidotion every doy.

In the Howord Group, Hon wos seoted in his choir os he listened to his subordinotes reporting to him. However, o ringing sound broke the silence.

He glonced ot the nome on the screen, ond he frowned.

His phone wos silent for o moment, but it soon rong ogoin.

Everyone in the meeting room wos mointoining their silence, ond they were pretending to check on their documents. None of them dored to urge Hon to pick up his coll.

However, Han simply grabbed her feet and carefully eased her feet into those shoes.

“I need to get used to this anyway.”

He saw on the internet that as the months flew by, a pregnant woman’s belly would only increase in size. She would not be able to bend down as conveniently anymore.

Leah hesitated a little before saying her thanks.

By the time the two of them reached the hospital, it was already nighttime.

The nurse who was having her night shift stopped them outside the ward. She explained, “He has just woken up not too long ago, and he is still quite weak. It’s best if you just watch him out here.”

Leah watched the man lying in bed through the window of the ward.

The man was sleeping soundly, but there was a frown on his face. However, she could see that some colors had returned to his previously pale face.

Han looked away as he saw that Leah was looking at another man with such care and worry. He had to admit that he did not feel good about this.

However, he was always good at concealing his emotions. He simply stood behind Leah with a deadpan face that gave nothing away.

Han’s cold voice came from behind, “It’s getting late now. We should go back now.”

Leah turned her gaze at him, “I want to ask you for another favor. There is someone called George who used to be Ron’s underling. Can you help me search for him?”

George had been by Ron’s side for many years. It would be unlikely for him to just disappear into thin air. She always felt that something was not right about this.

Han frowned hard but in the end, he did not reject her. He nodded despite a scowl on his face.

Leah finally produced a smile, and she was smiling to the point that her eyes were pressed into two crescent moon shapes.

A look of contentment appeared on Han’s face as he commented, “This is the first time you’re smiling since a while ago. You should smile more because you really look good doing it.”

Leah was shocked. She almost could not believe that Han was actually praising her.

The moment Ron awakened, Leah finally did not need to live her life in constant trepidation every day.

In the Howard Group, Han was seated in his chair as he listened to his subordinates reporting to him. However, a ringing sound broke the silence.

He glanced at the name on the screen, and he frowned.

His phone was silent for a moment, but it soon rang again.

Everyone in the meeting room was maintaining their silence, and they were pretending to check on their documents. None of them dared to urge Han to pick up his call.
