Ch. 26..30: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 26-30
Chapter 26
Leah was terrified when she heard the voice.
“Who the fuck are you? Do you have a death wish… Ahhhh!” The perverted man’s arrogant words were replaced with a painful scream.
“It’s Han. Why is he here?” Some people around the area recognized him.
Han kicked the perverted man. Then, he approached Leah. He kept looking at Leah’s exposed skin. Leah was very scared so she kept backing away from Han. She felt something cold touching her back as she backed up all the way against the wall. Han lifted her head forcefully. He said coldly, “Who allowed you to dress like this?”
Leah had tears in her eyes. Her skinny body kept trembling, “Mr. Howard, don’t you like seeing me this way?”
“Are you blaming me?” Han chuckled as he tightened his grip, “Leah, who are you to blame me?”
Looking at the hatred in Han’s eyes, Leah trembled with fear. She wondered how they ended up in this situation. Was it because this man didn’t love her yet he was forced to marry her? If that was the case…..
“Han, I’m tired. Please let me go. I’m willing to divorce you.” Leah finally compromised. However, the fingers on her back were still gripping tightly. The fingernails were almost piercing Leah’s skin.
Han chuckled, “Don’t try this trick on me.” He didn’t believe this woman would really divorce him.
“I wasn’t joking. I just want you to let me go after we divorce. Let’s not disturb each other’s lives anymore. All right?” Leah was desperate.
Han suddenly realized that she really wanted to divorce him. But why should he agree to it? He was enraged. He frowned and chuckled, “You have no right to suggest a divorce.”
In an instant, he took her inside B301 before throwing her to the ground. Leah felt her organs being crushed as she hit a table. She watched in despair as Han closed the door, blocking her way of escape.
“Han, what do you want?”
Han loosened his tie. He ordered Leah, “Take it off.”
Leah was dumbfounded. She curled herself up in a corner. Looking at the thin uniform she was wearing, she asked, “At a place like this?”
“Are you going to call for lan’s help after escaping the mental hospital? Are you going to divorce me and go to lan’s side?” Han chuckled. He sat on the sofa after throwing his jacket on the ground, “I have no patience. Come here.”
With determination, Leah resisted his orders for the first time, “Han, I don’t want to do this.”
“You don’t want to do it with me? Who are you going to do it with then? lan?” Han grinned sarcastically, “Don’t you know your identity yet? You are just a tool for me to have fun with. No one dares to touch you as long as you’re still in my possession,” Han’s words were terrifying.
Leah had heard words like these countless times in the last three years. It still hurt her no matter how many times she heard it before.
Han lost his patience after seeing her dawdling. He threw her on the sofa. Han went down on her and caressed Leah’s body.
Leah wasn’t strong enough to resist him. Tears flowed down her eyes, “Han, please let me go.” Her tears fell on Han’s hand. Han got agitated all of a sudden. However, he couldn’t do it anymore.
He seldom saw Leah cry even if they had been married for three years. Even if he tried to humiliate her, she would only have a disgusted look.
“Do you hate me touching you that much?” Han stared at her face. Leah stubbornly turned her face to one side. “Tell me!” Han turned her face to look at him forcefully.
Leah knew how paranoid this person was. She sighed and said, “There’s nothing between lan and me. He only helped me because he pitied me.”
“Would he even help you if you didn’t go to find him?” Han chuckled.
Leah retorted, “lan is a stranger who pitied my unfortunate encounters. Should I go to you instead of him? Do you think I’ll jump into the fire after I’m out of the frying pan?”
“Seems like I’m being too nice to you.” Han stared at her coldly. The hand that gripped her chin wast tightening. It hurt a lot.
Leah couldn’t endure the pain anymore. She started crying. She shoved Han away and said, “Who are you to treat me in this way? Han, what have I done to offend you? If you want a divorce, I’ll agree to it…”
She had gone through countless experiences of fear in the last two days. She even cheated death twice, so she was already having a slight mental breakdown. She was crying and screaming like a crazy woman.
Han was supposed to feel happy seeing Leah being tortured. However, he felt uncomfortable for some
reason.
At that moment, someone knocked.
Han covered Leah’s mouth, “Shut up if you want to live.”
When Leah finally calmed down, she went back to the corner of the sofa. Han opened the door. It was Molly who was standing outside. Han walked outside before closing the door. He asked, “Why are your here?”
Molly took a quick peek inside the room behind Han suspiciously, “I missed you. I heard you were having a discussion here with Mr. Sawyer so I came to find you. Are you done?”
“Yes,” Han nodded.
“Can I go inside? I’m feeling a bit tired.” Molly asked tentatively.
Han said, “I still have another meeting later.”
Molly’s schemes backfired so she had to ask what was on her mind, “Then… Han, did you see anyone else?”
“Who would I have seen?” Han replied with a question of his own.
Molly’s smile froze. She quickly wrapped her hands around Han’s arm, “Well, I’m afraid that you might meet some bad person since this place is quite complicated.”
Han kept quiet. He had no patience to deal with her, “You shouldn’t be in this place. I’ll ask the driver to send you back later.”
Han returned to the room after Molly left. To his surprise, Leah had already fallen asleep. She was curling in the corner of the sofa. It didn’t look like she was sleeping well. Han covered her with a blanket after he saw the thin piece of clothing Leah was wearing.
“Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her escape.” He ordered his bodyguard as he left the room.
Chapter 27
Molly made a call immediately after she walked out of Euphoria Land.
“Did you find that bitch?
“No
“Find her immediately! Han went to Euphoria Land today too. If he finds out about this, I won’t keep any one of you alive!”
Molly hung up. Her eyes were full of malice.
It couldn’t drag on any longer. Many things happened unexpectedly. She had to get rid of that woman) so she could get Han all to herself.
Meanwhile, Leah opened her eyes slowly after Han left.
She tried to hear what was going on outside the room. However, she couldn’t hear anything. Suddenly, the door opened. Leah was shocked. She returned to lie on the sofa hurriedly.
“Ms. Leah, you can stop acting now,” said a gentle voice. It was Ben.
Leah saw Ben holding a bag. It was from a designer brand called Ignis. Their clothes cost 10,000 dollars a piece at least.
After putting the clothes on the table, Ben said, “Mr. Howard asked me to bring this to you.”
Leah sneered, “What is this? Trying to give me something to make up for what he did?”
Ben sighed again. He could not bear to see Leah’s swollen cheeks after she got slapped, “Ms. Leah, Mr. Howard did it for your own good.”
“He should have let me go if he really wanted what’s best for me. Why did he lock me up and say such things like a hypocrite?” Leah was totally disappointed in Han.
Ben wanted to explain but he hesitated. He could only shake his head and sigh, “He still can’t let you go at the moment. If you have any requests, you can tell the bodyguard outside the door.”
He left after saying that.
I can tell the bodyguard if I have any requests?
Leah had an idea when she remembered what Ben said. She opened the door after getting dressed. Two buff bodyguards were standing guard outside. They stopped her when they saw her coming out, “You can’t ge
out
“I’m not escaping. I just want to go to the toilet.” Leah pointed to the end of the corridor calmly.
The bodyguards were in a dilemma.
Leah sneered, “Han just asked you to keep an eye on me. He didn’t forbid me to go to the toilet, right? If Han wants to abandon me because I defecated in my pants, I’ll tell him it’s your fault!”
The bodyguards nodded and said, “Fine, we’ll follow you.”
“Are you going to the female toilet with me?”
“We will wait for you outside the door.”
Leah had no choice but to compromise. She walked towards the end of the corridor with the bodyguards watching on.
As she was reaching the toilet, she turned around and shouted, “Han!” The two bodyguards were shocked. They turned around subconsciously. Leah started running when the opportunity arose.
The bodyguards realized they were fooled. They went after Leah immediately. Leah was panicking. Then she saw the man that she saved previously in front of her.
She pulled him along to hide inside another room. She locked the door while gasping for air. The man looked at her while raising his eyebrows. He laughed, “Did you get kidnapped again?”
Leah stared at the man. She thought he was being pursued just like her, but seeing how he could walk around yet still appear in front of her unharmed, she started to wonder if this man might have a more complicated background than she imagined.
“I saved you once. It’s your turn to save me now.” Leah said while catching her breath.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone tried to break the door.
With Han’s influence, he could do anything in Euphoria Land. Even if his bodyguards break the door, Wilson wouldn’t blame him.
The man said casually while leaning on the door, “I can’t even protect myself. How can I save you? You are overestimating me.”
“No. Since you are still here, it means you are currently in a safe position. Also, I can see that you are able to walk freely around this place. You have the ability to bring me out.” Leah said calmly.
The man was surprised. He paused for a moment before he started laughing, “You are smart.”
“Bang!” The bodyguards rammed the door again.
“Please, save me!” Leah begged.
The man shook his head, “That won’t do. I could retaliate if I offended Wilson but if I offended Han…”
Leah understood. Everyone was afraid of Han in Linkville including the man in front of her who was a cold- blooded killer. She started to lose hope.
The man looked at her face. Her skinny body was even more obvious now that she was wearing a sweater. Within an hour, her cheeks already become swollen from Han’s slap.
“It’s all right. I won’t trouble you.” Leah thought the man was feeling guilty because of his silence. After a moment of thought, she took a pen and a piece of paper, “I don’t want you to save me. You just need to help me tell this person that I’m in Euphoria Land.”
She quickly wrote down a phone number and a name before stuffing the paper into the man’s hand.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The room’s door was shaking. It looked like it would be broken into the next second.
The man casually received the paper, but he froze immediately after taking a look at what was written on it.
“lan?” He was almost mumbling his name.
“Yes. Please tell him. Thank you.” Leah begged.
Unexpectedly, the man ripped that piece of paper to shreds. He said meanly, “I’m not doing it.”
Leah looked at him in despair.
The bodyguards would soon break into the room. Leah looked at him. She knew she had nowhere to go. She walked towards the door with a smile.
The remembered how she acted calmly to dress his wounds back at the warehouse. He whispered to her, “Don’t open the door no matter what you hear tonight. Unless it’s me.”
Leah was surprised.
The man struck her forehead lightly, “Got it?”
Leah nodded. At the same time, the door had been kicked open. The two bodyguards grabbed hold of Leah’s arms as they took her back to her room regardless of her struggles.
It was a torturous night for Leah. On one hand, she was afraid of Han’s arrival which would shatter her hope. On the other hand, she was wondering what would happen later that night.
It was two in the morning. Leah almost fell asleep on the sofa.
“Thump!”
There was a loud noise outside the door followed by the sound of doors opening, things smashing, footsteps and screams. It was horrifying, especially on a quiet night. Leah wanted to go out to have a look, but she stopped when she remembered what the man told her. After some time, someone was knocking on the door. She heard a man’s voice coming from outside, “It’s me.”
Chapter 28
Leah opened the door immediately. She was shocked by the overwhelming smell of blood. The man in front of her was covered in blood, but he was still calm and didn’t seem to be injured. It was someone else’s blood. Leah figured it out after she recalled the screams she heard previously.
“What happened outside?”
“Don’t bother.” The man pulled her arms and took her away. They passed through the corridor while people were rushing at them. A blade appeared out of nowhere in the man’s hand, and he slashed all of them with it. Their blood almost splattered on Leah’s face.
Leah was already feeling numb about seeing him kill people. The man held her hand tightly. It was a mess around her. She knew this man was the most dangerous person here, yet she had never felt so secure before.
Leah was breathing heavily because she couldn’t catch up with the man, so she had to run. A ray of white light appeared in front of her followed by the howling cold wind at night. Leah’s head cleared suddenly. She wondered if she was finally going to escape from the place?
The man pushed her towards the door, “Go! Don’t ever get caught again. You might not be so lucky to meet me again.”
“Thank you.” Leah raised her head and looked into his eyes.
He sneered, “If you are prettier, I might be reluctant to let you go.”
Leah knew he was joking. She held onto the door handle of the iron door as the wind blew on her hair from behind.
“What is your name?” Leah asked him.
The man shot a glance at her and only said, “Go! The further, the better,” He didn’t tell her his name.
He gave Leah another push out the small backdoor and closed the iron door behind her slowly to block Leah’s
vision.
It was bustling inside Euphoria Land, but it was just a narrow and dark alley outside. The wind at night was chilling. Leah held her jacket tightly and started to walk faster.
Suddenly, she smelled something burning.
Leah’s eyes widened. She was shocked when she looked in the direction where the smell was coming from. She saw flames in the dark alley. Euphoria Land was on fire! The fire was big and spread quickly. It couldn’t be extinguished with water.
Was he the one who set fire to Euphoria Land? Did he plan to burn the place to ashes from the start?
Leah was terrified. She couldn’t help but think she would also perish in the flames if she hadn’t gone to ask that man for help.
Leah snapped out of her daze when she heard sirens approaching her location. Euphoria Land was on fire, and it would surely attract the police and the media. She could not stay here any longer.
Leah walked quickly and started running through the alleyways. Her footsteps were getting heavier, and her head was spinning. Leah didn’t know how far she ran. She was trembling from the cold.
It was pouring at three in the morning. Leah’s speed started to slow down. She dared not walk on the busy streets and could only walk along the quiet highway. Although she had a clouded consciousness, she still remembered the direction to lan’s house.
Her breath was getting warmer. Leah realized she must have had a fever caused by the inflammation of her wounds from the pouring rain. However, she still had a long way to go.
“Screech!”
Leah heard the sharp screeching noise of a vehicle braking. Its light was shining in her eyes, blinding her. With a loud bang, Leah was hit and flew three meters away. She fell to the ground and passed out.
The rain was pouring. Someone came down with an umbrella, and two men rushed toward Leah.
“Sir, it’s a young lady. She passed out.”
An old man with a white mustache squatted down to check if Leah was still breathing and touched her forehead.
“Her forehead is burning. She has so many injuries on her. She might die if she doesn’t receive emergency treatment.”
Another man raised his umbrella slightly. He was wearing an expensive suit and looked like he is in his forties. When he heard what the old man said, he frowned slightly, “Mr. Carling, take her back to the White residence.”
Mr. Carling carried Leah on his back and put her inside the car after hearing the man’s orders.
Back on the streets of Euphoria Land at quarter to three in the morning, the firefighting team already extinguished the fire when Han arrived. The investigation team’s patrol cars were parked outside. A police line was put up surrounding a ten-meter radius around the place to stop everyone from getting close.
Han walked in with Ben. He took a glance and wanted to rush into Euphoria Land.
“Sir, you can’t go inside. We are still cleaning the scene.” An investigation officer in a black uniform stopped Han.
Han stared at him with his cold eyes and spoke in a cold voice, “Get lost.”
The investigation officer was dumbfounded. Right then, a fat man, who was the officer’s team leader, came over, “You’re so senseless. This is Mr. Howard. Move over!”
Han didn’t even look at him and walked straight into the underground gambling den.
The place was burned to ashes. Everything has been burned down. The only thing remaining was the acrid smoke.
Han was very angry.
He walked towards B301 while the investigation team’s leader advised him politely, “Mr. Howard, don’t go there. That is where the fire started. You might get hurt.”
Han ignored him and kicked down B301’s door.
“Cough!” The leader was choked by the smoke that came out of the room.
Meanwhile, Han’s expression was grim. It was supposed to be a locked room but it had been burned to ashes. There was no one inside. Ben saw Han’s expression and came forward, “Mr. Howard, perhaps Ms. Leah left the room before the fire started. After all, chaos must have broken out, and it’s possible for her to escape during that moment.”
However, the team leader didn’t agree with Ben’s opinion, “We’ve ordered our men to check all the exits. All of them are locked. No one could have escaped this place.”
Ben stared at him. Han stayed silent and walked inside the room. He crouched down and picked up something on the floor. It was a silver earring.
Han’s eyes turned into a chilling stare, “Find her. Even if she’s dead, I want to see her body.”
Ben was shaking in fear. He had seen that terrifying expression before when Leah fell into the ocean.
Fifteen minutes later, Ben and the investigation tearn leader ran back while gasping for air.
“Mr. Howard, we found a burnt female body at the female toilet. She was wearing. The clothes you bought previously
The earring fell from Han’s hand. He walked quickly toward the body covered with a white cloth. Her feet were exposed, and she was wearing the high heels that Han bought.
Han’s head went buzzing.
Chapter 29
“Please, let me go! I won’t do it again! I beg you….” Leah was sweating, and her face was pale. She kept talking in her sleep as her hands grabbed hold of the blanket.
Mrs. White and Mr. White looked at each other and didn’t know what to do.
“No!” Leah screamed and opened her eyes. She was terrified. She stayed silent as she stared at the ceiling. Her memories started coming back to her. She remembered Han locking her inside the gambling den and being rescued by the man she saved. Then, there was a fire on that rainy night. After that… An accident happened!
Leah finally felt the pain going through her body, and she felt dizzy.
“Are you awake?” A gentle voice spoke beside her.
Leah turned her head with difficulty and saw a woman’s face looking back at her with gentle eyes that are filled with worry.
In an instant, Leah cried.
Mrs. White was in a panic. She didn’t know why Leah cried. She took a glance at Mr. White and went up to Leah to wipe off her tears, “I’m so sorry. My husband was coming back from the airport. His car hit you because it was raining heavily and the visibility was bad. We couldn’t contact your parents so we took you back here.”
Her voice and actions were so gentle as if she were coaxing a little child.
Leah shook her head and replied in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.”
“Where are your family? Do you need us to contact them? Don’t worry. We won’t abandon you before you recover.” Mrs. White held onto her hands tightly.
For some reason, Mrs. White felt a pain in her heart when she looked into Leah’s eyes. Because of that, she wanted to know this girl better.
Leah lowered her head and said, “My parents have passed away.”
Mr. White heard her reply and said immediately with a sigh, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s all right.” Leah shook her head, “May I know where this place is?”
She had a look at her surroundings just now. It was a bright and spacious house, and the furniture inside was expensive. It gave her an idea about the house owner’s social status and wealth.
The couple in front of her must be rich. Perhaps they could help her contact lan.
Mr. White looked at this girl with pity and answered, “This is the White residence at Linkville.”
The White residence?
Leah’s face froze up, and many images flashed through her brain. There was a small mansion with a corridor by the garden in her memories. There was also a little girl with a twin ponytail running happily along the corridor. A maid was chasing after her while shouting. “Ms. White, be careful, don’t trip…”
Leah painfully closed her eyes. The memories in her brain flashed again. This time, there was a lot of water that almost suffocated her.
“Ahhhh!”
Leah wrapped her hands around her head with her eyes still closed. Her body was trembling vigorously.
Mrs. White was shocked, “What’s wrong?”
“My head, it hurts…” Leah was gasping for air as tears ran down her face.
Her head was hurting so much. She had two different memories flashing through her brain. There was a bright and spacious mansion and also a small, dark room. She also saw Mrs. White’s face and Han’s face…
Leah was moaning before she passed out again.
Mrs. White didn’t expect that to happen so she picked up her phone and called the family doctor. The family doctor arrived soon. He did a check on Leah and had a stern look. He shook his head and said, “Her brain was struck hard and caused a transient shock. She lost a lot of blood and needs a blood transfusion.”
“Is there a way to save her?” Mrs. White asked.
The family doctor had a troubled look, “The most important thing right now is to give her a blood transfusion, but we have no suitable blood for her.”
Mrs. White looked at Mr. White, “Why don’t we send her to the hospital?”
Then, footsteps could be heard from downstairs followed by lan’s voice, “Is it true that Mr. White has returned?”
“Oh, isn’t lan a doctor? I’m sure he can speak to the hospital and ask them to give this girl a blood transfusion.”
Mrs. White went downstairs happily and saw lan visiting the residence with a lot of gifts. lan looked tired with dark circles under his eyes, but he still tried his best to smile, “I’m visiting because Mr. White just
returned.”
“You are too kind.”
“No. It’s what I should do as a junior.” lan put his gifts down and asked casually, “Where’s Sasha? Why didn’t I see her?”
Mrs. White smiled gently, “Sasha went to her piano lesson and hasn’t returned yet. Oh, please come upstairs with me. I need your help.” She took lan to the guest room while saying, “Yesterday, Gordon hit a girl. She passed out because she lost too much blood. You are a doctor. Can you try to find blood suitable for her?”
lan’s said seriously, “Take me to her so I can have a look.”
Inside the room, Leah was lying on a big white bed. She had cold sweat all over her forehead. Her face was pale, and she was frowning like she was in a lot of pain.
Mrs. White said, “She was fine when she woke up, but she passed out after saying something. The family doctor said her brain was in transient shock…”
lan looked in Leah’s direction. His eyes were fixed on the girl. He had found her without even looking. He almost ignored what Mrs. White said and walked up excitedly to the bed. He was sure that this girl is Leah. He didn’t expect Mr. White to rescue her.
“What’s wrong, lán? Is it troublesome even for you?” Mrs. White asked nervously.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she imagined something bad happening to Leah.
“She had A-type blood. We need to contact her family to do a blood transfusion.” lan looked at Mr. White with excitement.
Mr. White was confused, but he still asked, “We don’t know who her family is.”
“How could you not know?” lan smiled and had a relaxed expression. His tiredness went away as well, “Mr. White. Mrs. White. You are her family!”
Meanwhile, Sasha just returned home ten minutes ago. She lied to Mrs. White about having piano lessons.
She was actually out fooling around with her friends.
When she reached the living room and wanted to go upstairs, the maid came over and said politely, “Ms. Sasha, Mr. Sanders is here. He is in the guest room with Mr. White and Mrs. White now.”
“lan?” Sasha was surprised and excited. She walked slowly and said while smiling, “I’m going to surprise him
Chapter 30
As soon as Sasha walked into the guest room, she heard a serious voice. “I didn’t lie to you. Her name is Leah, and she is your daughter who was swept away 10 years ago.”
Gordon could not believe it. He stared at Leah’s face. Lying on the bed, she looked very ordinary. She did not resemble Jane at all.
The only thing that Leah resembled Jane was her bright eyes. But what could it prove?
“That’s impossible. We’ve found Sasha. Besides, we’ve done the DNA paternity test, and Sasha is undeniably our daughter. It’s impossible to be mistaken!” Frowning, Gordon looked at Leah in confusion.
lan could not help but sigh. “Mr. White, you’ve known me for a long time. I would never lie to you.” Although Jane did not believe it either, she knew very well what kind of person lan was.
“Yes, lan is right. Gordon, do you really think…” Jane wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Gordon’s expression darkened.
“Mr. White, if you don’t believe me, can you explain this?” lan rolled up Leah’s sleeve and showed the birthmark on her wrist.
Gordon narrowed his eyes and stared at Leah’s wrist. After a long time, he sighed deeply. It seemed that he was going to yield.
“lan, draw our blood and run a paternity test. Gordon waved his hand and sat down on the sofa, looking depressed. It seemed that Gordon had acquiesced to the fact that the girl in bed might be his real daughter.
lan’s face lit up. He quickly drew blood for both Leah and Gordon.
At the same time, Sasha who was hiding behind the door heard everything. She clenched her fists tightly to prevent herself from making any sound. Nonetheless, her face turned pale. “She’s back!”
Was Sasha really unable to escape her fate? It was not easy for her to become the daughter of the White family. She did not want to ruin everything.
Sasha quickly returned to her room quietly and made a phone call. Her hands were trembling.
“What’s up? Didn’t I tell you not to contact me?” An impatient voice came from the other end of the line.
Sasha had no time to think about it. She said in a hurry, “That woman is back! What should I do? lan found out she is the daughter of the White family. They are doing a paternity test now. What should I do? What should I do…”
“What? What did you say?” The man’s voice suddenly became louder, which startled Sasha.
After a while, the man over the phone seemed to calm down. However, he still could not help gritting his teeth. “It seems that Han doesn’t want this woman to die.”
“Then what should I do? Do I just sit and do nothing and wait for the White family to kick me out?”
“It’s useless that you’re getting nervous now!”
“Aren’t
you nervous? If I leave the White family, you will also…”
“Shut up!” The man interrupted her.
“Listen to me. First, you have to do… Afer a long time, the man instructed Sasha slowly.
The process of waiting for the DNA result was extremely tormenting. In the meantime, Gordon ran a body checkup on Leah.
The White family had the right to get the report as soon as the paternity test result came out. The family doctor handed the report to Gordon immediately. However, Gordon did not dare to open it.
“Open it, Gordon,” urged Jane.
Gordon had no choice but to nod. He took a deep breath before opening it to take a look.
The result showed that Gordon and Leah had a matching rate of 99.99%. In other words, the girl on the bed was indeed Gordon’s daughter.
Gordon could not help but take two steps back. Tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Leah on the bed who was so skinny on the bed, and his hands began to tremble. “How could it be? She doesn’t look like Jane at all!”
Hearing that, lan sighed. “I have examined her, and I also found out a lot of things from our conversation earlier. She had plastic surgery and had gone through a lot of hardships.”
“What? Plastic surgery?” Gordon was shocked.
“Yes! She had plastic surgery because she fell from the cliff when she was a child!” lan sighed again.
Hearing that, Jane stepped forward and held Leah’s hand. Tears streamed down her face. “This child must have suffered a lot!”
“Moreover, she was in a psychiatric hospital when I found her.”
“What? What’s wrong with her?”
“Nothing at all.” lan shook his head, “But I know that it has something to do with her husband. However, she did not share any details with me.”
Jane could not believe it. She felt heartbroken hearing that. “She got married? But she’s so young.”
“Well, her husband is someone you know.”
“Who?” Gordon frowned.
“Han Howard!” lan had no choice but to blurt Han’s name out.
Hearing that, both Gordon and Jane’s expressions darkened. They were both rendered speechless.
The family doctor drew blood from Gordon and transfused it to Leah. It was only then that Leah’s complexion gradually turned better.
That night was a tough night for everyone.
At 3 a.m., Gordon put a cardigan on Jane. Looking at her haggard face, he felt heartbroken. “Go to sleep. I’ll take care of her.”
“No, I don’t want to sleep. I haven’t seen her for 10 years. I want to accompany her Jane touched Leah’s face, and her eyes were filled with tears again.
Gordon could not help but sigh, “She had suffered so much. We must make up for her when she recovers.”
“But Gordon, have you thought of something?” Jane suddenly looked worried.
“What?”
“If Leah is our biological daughter, who is Sasha then?”
Hearing that, Gordon’s expression darkened.
Jane was right. He was so worried about Leah that he forgot Sasha.
“We only have one daughter. Sasha must be a mistake,” Gordon said.
Hearing that, Jane was confused. “But you did the paternity test when you first found Sasha. Is the result wrong?”
will look into it,” Gordon replied.
Jane sighed. “What should we do about Sasha? Tell her the truth and ask her to leave?” As soon as she finished her words, a sound of glass breaking was heard at the door.
Gordon and Jane exchanged looks. When they opened the door, they saw Sasha. Sasha panicked with tears in her eyes.
“Dad! Mom! Am I not your biological daughter? Are you driving me away?” Sasha sobbed.
