Ch. 261..265: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 261-265

Chapter 261 A New Beginning

Ian's voice was a little hoarse, "You have been outside long enough. There will always be a place for you in the Sanders family."

Ian had always been surnamed Sanders and would return to the Sanders family.

His mother disapproved, but she thought she would when he left.

Ron was angry and put the cup on the table harshly, "I will not go back. What you said, I will forget."

With that, he pushed away the woman in his arms and stood up. He called his men outside the door to come in and said, "Show him the door."

Ian was taken out of the room by Ron's people.

He looked at the closed door, and his clear eyes were full of frustration.

I still have some time to persuade Ron.

When Leah returned to Serena's apartment, she started packing their clothes. The two did not live there long and did not have many clothes, so it took little time.

"Han, may I come in?"

Leah found the spare key to the guest room.

She wanted to go in and see what was going on with Han, but she was afraid of upsetting him.

After a while, there was no sound in the room.

Leah frowned, pointed the key at the keyhole, and pushed it in. "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiesce."

Han's eyes were stung by the sudden brightness. He followed the light and saw Leah standing in the doorway with a nervous expression.

Soon he withdrew his gaze, and there was no emotion on his sharp-featured face.

Leah had been used to him. She walked over with a smile.

"Han, we should leave here."

Han's cold face finally had a change. "Where are we going?"

He had locked himself in his room for two days, forcing himself to accept reality. But he could not escape the fact that he was a loser.

Leah toned down her voice and put her hand on Han's arm.

"Let's go home."

With twitching his mouth, he paused and did not draw back his arm.

Seeing Han did not refuse, Leah breathed a sigh of relief.

Leah texted Serena and closed the door of the apartment.

They were exiting the elevator when they ran into Serena.

"Cindy, where are you going?"

Her hungover head momentarily cleared when Serena saw the bag in Leah's hand.

I only go out for one night. Why are they moving away?

Leah sheepishly moved the bag behind herself. It was okay if she lived alone at Serena's apartment but not with Han.

Before she could react, Serena had pulled her aside.

She said seriously, "I don't dislike you."

Leah also saw the sincerity in her eyes. She was silent for a few seconds and gave a rare smile. "I know."

"So why did you move out?" Serena asked.

"Han needs a place to rest. Well, I'll invite you to our new house another day."

Leah looked at Serena's decadent expression, feeling a little guilty, and reached out and hugged her.

After a brief farewell, Leah left with Han.

Meanwhile, Leah introduced their new home to Han, but Han was indifferent with low interest.

Leah opened the apartment door and looked at Han expectantly. "Is the environment here very good?"

She and Han would soon have a new life. Everything was slowly getting better.

Han looked around the apartment. The decoration style was simple, but the layout was very careful. He withdrew his sight, whose thin lips pressed together, and said nothing.

Leah smiled. "This will be our home."

"This is the kitchen."

She wheeled Han to the main bedroom and pointed to the moat not far away.

"Now you can enjoy the scenery from your room."

Although the scenery might not be as good as the top floor of the Howard Group, she believed they would return in time.

Han darkened his eyes and said, "You don't need to do this."

Leah closed her eyes and hid the bitterness.

It was a long time before she opened her eyes again. "I'm willing to do so. I hope you won't say that again."

"I'll be angry if you keep doing that."

After she finished her words, Leah left the room, and her steps were disheveled.

She was afraid that if she stayed, she would be unable to help vent her emotions.

Still worried about Leah, Serena wanted to call her but did not want to disturb her. So she put down the phone in the end.

After a long pause, Serena picked up her phone. She opened Instagram and transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Leah.

"It's not much money. Don't worry about it."

Leah had always been stubborn. She refused to live in her apartment and would not tell her when she was in trouble. But she and Han both needed money now.

By the time Leah saw the transfer information, it was evening.

She looked at the transfer information on Instagram. She felt a wave of warmth in her heart and called Serena.

"Serena, thank you!"

"Don't mention it. If you need money, just ask me for money. It's the only thing that I can help you with."

Leah thought momentarily and said, "I'll pay you back when I have the money."

After a few words, Leah hung up the phone.

She wanted to invite Han to go to the supermarket, but after looking at the lonely figure in the room, she gave up the invitation.

"Han, I'm gonna have grocery shopping."

After greeting Han, Leah left the house.

Leah bought some groceries and Han's favorite dishes and then went home.

For dinner, she still prepared Han's favorite dishes.

Leah opened the door, walked before Han, and squatted down. "Now's the time to have dinner."

Perhaps Han's cold emotion was changed because of seeing the hope in Leah's eyes. He had not said the refusing words. His body had made a choice first.

Leah raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.

Leah kept serving Han at the table, whose small bowl was soon filled with food.

Han did not eat well these days and had been hungry for a long time, so Leah deliberately cooked the rice very soft.

"Why don't you eat?"

Leah saw Han still had as much food in his bowl as before.

"Is it not to your taste?"

The light in Leah's eyes became dim, and she almost forgot that Han never liked her cooking.

Han picked up his chopsticks and took a mouthful of food. "It is delicious!"

The smile on Leah's face deepened. "If you like it, I will cook it for you daily."

Chapter 262 Facing Difficulties

Han paused his eating and avoided eye contact with Leah. He feared that he would soften his heart if he looked at her.

He quickly finished the food in his bowl and put down his chopsticks, saying, "I'm full."

Before Leah could react, Han had left the kitchen in his wheelchair and returned to his room.

The door was closed again, and Leah, who had just hoped, became disappointed. She tidied the dining table and comforted herself, "This is already a good start."

After a few days, he won't be so depressed anymore.

Inside the room, Han answered the phone call from Ben.

"Mr. Howard, are you okay?" Ben asked with concern.

Since Shawn took over the Howard Group, many of his subordinates, except for Ben and Alfred, had defected.

But Han could not offer them anything now, let alone make a comeback.

"Yes," Han responded softly.

"I heard about what happened to the company. I will always follow you regardless of where you are,"

Ben said.

After being discharged from the hospital, Ben learned about what happened to the Howard Group. Shawn's allies had also tried to recruit him, and many people in the company advised him not to follow Han anymore. However, he refused all of them.

Han might always have a cold face, but he was still good to him.

Ben remembered when he first joined the company that his mother was seriously ill, and Han found out by chance. Without hesitation, Han wrote him a check and found the best doctor for his mother.

"Mr. Howard, I will wait for you," Ben said.

Han's grip on his phone tightened. His eyes were deep and contemplative. He took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't seem worth it."

"Take good care of yourself and rest well. Alfred and I are both waiting for you," Ben said.

Ben did not allow Han to say anything and hung up the phone.

Han's heart sank as he watched the screen of his phone turn black. He lowered his head and remained motionless in that position.

That night, Leah opened her computer and posted her resume on various job search platforms.

After paying the rent and Han's medical expenses, Leah had very little money left. She also needed to

save up for his rehabilitation costs in the future. She could not afford to be idle daily and needed to find a job first.

Maybe due to the exhaustion from moving, Leah slept until it was bright outside. When she woke up, milk and toast were already prepared on the table.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, Leah's expression was complicated.

Han should prepare breakfast when he wakes up in the morning.

Leah resisted the urge to knock on his door. She took a note from her bag, wrote down that she would go out for an interview in the morning, and then posted it on the refrigerator before leaving.

At the entrance of the Business Building, Leah found the studio on the 18th floor, according to the information in the job advertisement.

She wore a black suit today, and the jeans perfectly outlined her leg shape. Her long hair was tied behind her ears, making her look energetic.

Many people were being interviewed, and Leah drew the eighth number. She sat quietly on the bench, waiting for her turn.

"Leah."

Upon hearing her name, Leah stood up with her documents.

"Good morning, interviewers."

As soon as Leah entered the room, she greeted the interviewers and handed them her previous design drafts. After completing all this, she returned to her seat and sat down.

"These are my previous design drafts. You can take a look," Leah said to the interviewers.

The person across from her glanced at the signature on the design draft, then closed the file and said coldly, "You have been eliminated."

Leah looked stunned. Although her design draft was not excellent, it was still innovative in the industry and should not have been rejected at first glance. She calmed down her anxiety and asked, "May I know why my elimination was?"

The person across from her sneered, "Do we have a reason that we must hire you in our company?"

"Security, get her out of here," the person across from her said.

Before Leah could react, the person had already called for security.

To avoid embarrassment, Leah apologized and left the office.

The road was crowded with traffic, and people passing by were chatting and laughing, but Leah hurried with her head down. She looked at the time and realized she had to attend the following interview within fifteen minutes.

As soon as she closed the car door, a pleasant ringtone from her phone started to play.

"Is this Leah? You don't need to come to the next interview," the voice on the phone said.

When Leah realized what had happened, she heard a busy tone on her phone.

The next call came in immediately. Without exception, they were telling Leah not to go to the interview.

Leah looked out the window, feeling depressed. She would be too foolish if she still did not understand what had happened.

She had been maliciously blacklisted in the design industry, and it was obvious who had done it.

After sitting in the car awhile, Leah calmed down her emotions.

There was always a way out. She believed that Shawn could only control some of the design community in Linkville.

Leah took a deep breath, planning to drive home, but she caught sight of several unfamiliar men standing next to her car.

The leader of the men knocked on her car door, gesturing for her to roll down the window.

Leah's expression became serious as she tightened her grip on her phone, planning to call the police.

The man knocked on the car door again, showing a friendly smile indicating he would not harm Leah. She then pressed the button to roll down the window, revealing a small gap.

"Ms. White, our boss, said today's incident is just the beginning. If you still don't understand, you will

encounter more difficulties in the future," the man said to Leah.

It took Leah a while to realize that the man was one of Shawn's subordinates. She was slightly shocked and realized he was unwilling to let her and Han go and even knew their every move.

She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her fingertips turning white. After regaining her composure, the gloom on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile. "Go back and tell your boss that evil will be punished," she said.

After speaking, Leah rolled up the car window and stepped on the gas pedal.

Despite being rejected multiple times in job interviews, Leah never gave up. In her free time, she continued to send out resumes.

Soon, Leah received another call from the hospital, asking Han to return for a follow-up examination and finalize the rehabilitation plan.

"Okay, we will be there on time tomorrow," Leah replied.

Leah thought she had nothing to do tomorrow, so she readily agreed.

Leah prepared the medical records the following day and planned to take Han to the hospital.

"After we finish at the hospital, let's go to the mall and do some shopping. It's been a long time since we went shopping together," Leah suggested to Han.

Leah pushed the wheelchair while asking for Han's opinion.

Leah used to want Han to go shopping with her, but he was always too busy. Now, he finally had some free time.

Chapter 263 A Prank

"It's inconvenient for me to go shopping with you," Han said coldly.

Leah was stunned momentarily but smiled again when she realized what was happening. "No, it won't. I'm okay with anything as long as you are with me."

Han closed his lips tightly and bowed his head silently.

In the hospital, the doctor gave Han a simple check-up. He crouched down to press his thigh, asking him as he pressed, "If it hurts, just let me know."

Seeing that Han did not react, he increased the pressure.

"Do you feel pain? "

Han shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything."

The doctor stopped the examination. His expression became more serious than before. He stood up, walked back to his seat, and sat down.

Leah leaned in nervously, her eyes fixed on the doctor. "What's the matter? Is he recovering well?"

"Not very well."

The doctor asked the nurse to take Han to the rehabilitation room next door, leaving only himself and

Leah in the office.

"It's difficult for him to stand up again. One reason is the physical problem, and the other is the psychological problem. He can't overcome his inner fears. So it is useless to do more rehabilitation if he doesn't want to stand up again."

Leah also found it hard to believe what the doctor said. How could Han give up on himself?

It was impossible.

"Doctor, he wouldn't want to give up on standing up."

Leah's voice was a bit trembling.

The doctor was used to the cases. "Many patients cannot overcome their psychological problems and cannot stand up for a lifetime. If you have time, take the patient to see a psychologist. Psychological counselling may be helpful."

Leah did not know how she left the room. She leaned weakly against the wall, thinking about what the doctor had said. She had tears welling in her eyes but stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She was afraid that Han was waiting for her, so she got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face before heading to the rehabilitation room.

As soon as Leah walked to the door, she saw Han sitting in a wheelchair with a serious look that showed he did not want anyone to come near him. The young nurse was also frightened. Standing

aside, they were at a loss for what to do.

"What's going on?"

Leah took a deep breath and walked in.

The young nurse rushed over to Leah as if she saw a saviour. She told Leah that Han refused to do the rehabilitation.

"I got it. Sorry to bother you. Let's not do rehabilitation today. We'll have it another day."

Leah decided at that moment. They would not do it if he did not want to do it for now.

According to the doctor's suggestions, what he needed most now was psychological counseling and a pleasant mood.

The nurse looked at Leah helplessly, but as soon as she saw Han's cold face, she immediately changed her mind and nodded.

"If you don't want to do rehabilitation, let's go for a walk instead."

Leah pushed Han into his wheelchair and left the hospital.

They also attracted a lot of attention as they walked on the road. It seemed a pity to see a young man in a wheelchair in their eyes.

"He is too pathetic."

"The woman is also pathetic for having a disabled boyfriend in a wheelchair."

The air was frozen for a moment.

For the first time, Leah realized how painful it was to be looked down upon. She raised her head, looked at the girls who had just been talking about them coldly and said, "Mind your own business."

Her voice was not loud, but it was big enough to be heard by the people talking about them.

And the people around also left the scene.

Han's expression was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's go back."

Before Leah could react, he had already turned his wheelchair and adjusted his route.

Leah's eyes darkened as she realized that the stares from those people just now had hurt Han, causing him to change his mind.

"Wait for me," Leah said. After thinking it over for a moment, she decided to follow him.

Since Han did not want to go, she would not force him. She had all the time waiting for him to accept the reality slowly.

Neither of them noticed the group of hooligans not far away.

The hooligans sang and bounced around, and they walked up to Han. The man in the colorful shirt

lifted his leg to try and kick over the wheelchair, but Han saw his move and avoided him with ease.

"D*mn it!" the hooligan said as he missed a step, and he fell into a nearby flowerbed.

Behind him, his companions rushed over and helped him up while teasing him.

"Lorne, you're useless. You can't even beat a disabled person," one of them said.

Lorne brushed off the grass on his body and chased after Han. "You're the one who's making a fuss. Just wait and see how I deal with him."

Lorne looked at Han disdainfully, saying, "You're quite impressive, coming up with fancy moves while sitting in a wheelchair."

Han frowned and clenched his fists. Someone had already stepped in front of him when he was about to speak.

"What do you want to do?"

Lorne's face twisted with a sneer. He had not expected this disabled person to have such good luck with women. He touched Leah's cheek, but she slapped his hand away.

"Try taking one more step," Leah said coldly.

"Hehehe, why not?" Lorne grinned lewdly. Not only was he a strong man, but he also had a group of friends behind him. He felt that he could easily defeat a disabled person and a woman.

"It's better to follow me than him. At least I'm healthy," Lorne said, trying to persuade Leah.

"Shut up!" Leah was so angry that her face turned red. She picked up a wooden stick from the side and swung it at Lorne.

She would not allow anyone to insult Han.

Han's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold and sharp like the knife's edge, which fell on Lorne.

Lorne was stunned by Han's gaze, forgetting to dodge. He took a solid hit from the wooden stick, cursing as he and his friends finally left.

It wasn't until they were gone that Leah threw away the wooden stick and squatted down to check on Han, "Are you okay? You can treat what they said as…."

Leah's words were interrupted.

"What they said is all true," Han's cold voice interrupted her.

Leah was anxious, "It's not like that. I don't mind. I don't mind."

She desperately tried to express herself but did not know how to make Han believe her words. In desperation, she hugged him tightly. She smelled the scent that filled her nose, calming her heart.

On the other side of the street, Lorne reported everything to Shawn. Of course, he concealed that he was scared by just a look from Han.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect even the always cold and proud Han will in this situation. Well done," Shawn laughed heartily and took out a stack of red banknotes from the back seat, stuffing them into Lorne's arms.

Chapter 264 Leaving

Lorne looked at the money in his hands. He did not think insulting someone could get him so much money.

He licked his mouth, showing an ingratiating smile. "Mr. Ford, you can contact me again when there are such errands."

Shawn nodded coldly.

Lorne was still thinking of Leah with a piteous tone. "It's just a pity that the girl wastes her time on a disabled person. If she can turn to my arms..."

Shawn frowned. His eyes glowed with cold light. What belonged to him must not be coveted.

Shawn looked gloomy and glanced at the people around him. "Handle it cleanly."

Until he was taken away by Shawn's men, Lorne did not understand what he did wrong.

After Lorne's harassment, Leah lost the mood for shopping and went home with Han.

She was worried that Han would be unhappy and tried to take care of his feelings as much as possible.

Leah released the handle of his wheelchair and forced a smile. "I'm going to prepare dinner."

She asked for Han's advice. "How about eating your favorite pork chops for dinner?"

Han did not answer but looked at Leah without expression.

Leah looked at the opposite person doubtfully and touched her cheek. "Do I have something on my face?"

Han growled in a low voice, "Enough. Everything is enough."

"Leah, you don't have to feel guilty, and I don't need you to compensate me this way."

Leah wanted to say something, but she said nothing in the end.

Han certainly won't believe her words now.

Whether it was guilt or love, she just wanted to be at his side.

Leah deflected the conversation, took the ingredients from the refrigerator and turned into the kitchen. "I'm going to prepare dinner. You must be hungry after being out so long."

After dinner, there was no respite from the heavy atmosphere.

Han was like a piece of big ice sitting in the corner.

Leah thought that what he had just said must be an angry outburst. It would be fine after he woke up.

With that in mind, she started to clean up. She wanted to be busy so that she could get away from her

wild thoughts.

Han pushed the wheelchair to Leah's front, snatched her vacuum cleaner from her hands, and said coldly, "If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."

"Han, I haven't thought about leaving."

Leah answered without hesitation, and her eyes were calm and soft.

Han scoffed. When he was healthy, he tried his best to keep Leah close.

Now he met with a mishap, so he did not want her with himself, but he could not get rid of her. Leah had no reason to stay with him other than guilt.

"Really?"

When Han asked, he had the usual emotion. But his hands behind him could not help shaking.

Leah squatted down and held Han's hand. "I will always be with you."

Before Han could speak, she continued, "Not because of guilt, but because I wanted to accompany you."

Han bowed his head, making it hard to see the emotion in his eyes.

Leah feigned anger and asked in a quiet voice, "Unless you are sick of me being a pregnant woman."

That time in the Ford residence, she wanted to tell Shawn the truth, but missed the opportunity, resulting in many things later.

By Shawn's temper, if he knew the baby in her belly was his, he would try everything to take her away.

But Han could not live without her, and Leah kept this matter secret.

Han looked at her, looking complicated and struggling.

After a long time, he left in silence.

Leah slumped feebly on the sofa with a pale face.

She must take Han out of the current predicament as soon as possible.

After the night, Leah's mood returned to normal, and she also accepted that she was banned.

These things were not difficult for her. Now the essential thing was Han.

Leah made an appointment with the best psychologist in Linkville and would take Han to see the doctor.

Watching the time approaching, Leah knocked on the door of Han's room.

"Han, I'm coming in."

As soon as she finished her words, she opened the door.

The large room was empty, and she frowned.

Han was not in the room!

She went to the bathroom and then to the kitchen. She searched all the rooms in the apartment, but Han was nowhere to be found.

Leah took out her mobile phone with her trembling hands and called Han.

"Hello, the number you dialed is not answered."

"Hello, the number you dialed is not answered."

The mechanical female voice repeated itself repeatedly, and Leah was anxious.

The cold wind blowing in the window calmed Leah down quickly. Han can't walk far in his wheelchair.

Leah trotted to the property, asking for the monitoring video of last night.

Their neighborhood was not upscale, and the number of security cameras was limited. Han was only caught leaving in the early morning, but nothing else.

"Thank you!"

Leah thanked the staff and left the property office.

In a trance of mind, she sat on the bench and dialed Han's phone number repeatedly.

"Cindy, why are you sitting downstairs on such a cold day?"

Serena wanted to visit Leah, but she did not expect to find her sitting in a daze under the building just after entering the neighborhood.

After Leah returned to her senses, her tears burst as she dove into Serena's arms and sobbed, "He was gone. I woke up this morning, and he was gone."

"Don't worry."

Serena soothed Leah and took her to the police station.

Inside the car, Leah wiped tears from her face, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

"I'm sorry. We can't file the case as the time has not come yet."

Uniformed police officers listened to Leah's description and coldly rebuffed her.

"The missing person cases can't be filed until 24 hours after the disappearance."

Leah hurriedly clutched the table, saying, "But he could not move easily. Couldn't that work either?"

Although Shawn did not kill Han, there was no guarantee that he would not go back on his word. In case, it was his men that took Han.

Leah was flustered.

"Miss, please come back in 24 hours."

Serena saw that Leah was about to lose control and quickly took her out of the police station.

She opened the car door, forced Leah in, fastened her seat belt, and returned to buy her a bottle of mineral water.

"Cindy, you need a drink of water to calm down."

Leah drooped her eyes and did not take the water from Serena.

"I'm calm now."

Serena thought a man as proud as Han could not accept that he was useless. "He decided to leave, probably because he didn't want to drag you down."

Chapter 265 Everything Was Cleared

"Regardless of the circumstances, I must find him."

Leah's gaze was firm. Her hands clenched tightly into a fist.

Serena was genuinely worried as a good friend as she looked at Leah's bruised and ashen face.

She patted Leah's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be too anxious. He's not feeling well right now, but that doesn't mean he's in danger."

Before Han's downfall, he was the CEO of the Howard Group. His previous connections should remain intact even if the company were gone.

"Serena, thank you." Leah showed a grateful expression, appreciative of Serena's constant support.

Leah knew that the only person who could help her now was Ron.

His connections were extensive, and he knew most of the people in Linkville. It would definitely be a shortcut if he agreed to help her find Han.

"Can I borrow your car?" Serina did not hesitate much and replied, "Sure. But where are you going? Can you go alone?"

She still felt uneasy about letting Leah go alone.

"I can handle it," Leah said.

Leah knew Ron would most likely be at the clubhouse at this time, so she drove there and parked her car in the underground parking lot, planning to sneak in through the freight elevator.

Perhaps because there were not many people during the day, Leah quickly made it to the top floor of the clubhouse. Following the signs, she found the general manager's office.

Leah pushed open the office door, and a scream echoed.

Inside the office, a glamorous woman was lying on top of Ron, panicked as she looked at Leah, who had just entered.

The woman gave Leah a malicious look and dropped the shirt she had been pushing up, saying, "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

Leah had no idea it would be like this and was stunned.

After a hint of surprise, Ron looked at Leah with a smile. She must have come to ask for help, but he did not care what it was about.

He had no intention of helping this heartless woman.

Ron raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman beside him with a suggestive expression, "Why don't you continue?"

The woman also caught on and smirked, leaning closer to Ron.

Leah gritted her teeth and walked into the office, standing expressionless before Ron. She hoped this time he would accept her.

"Ron, can you help me find Han?" Leah asked.

Ron's lips curled up. Sure enough, this woman only thought of him when she was in trouble. Han was now useless, but she kept coming to him for help. When he was lying in the hospital bed, she avoided him.

His gaze turned icy as he looked at Leah like a stranger. "Ms. White, I think you've come to the wrong place. If you're looking for someone, you should go to the police station. This isn't a police station."

As he spoke mockingly, Leah knew he did not want to help her, or perhaps he still held a grudge about what had happened before.

Leah bit her lip, not explaining too much about his mockery. Although Han had forced her to leave him before, she still left Ron behind.

"Just think of it as me taking care of you for so many days in the hospital. Can you help me for the last time?" Leah's eyes turned red as she begged.

Just this one time. After finding Han, she would not bother Ron again.

Ron's expression darkened. This woman still dared to bring up what happened at the hospital. Whenever he thought about it, he felt foolish.

"Is that so?"

Before Leah could react, Ron continued, "I do owe you a thank you. I hate owing people, so I will repay you since you brought it up."

Leah was happy when she heard Ron's words. There was hope for Han.

But the next second, her hope was shattered by the pile of red banknotes in front of her.

"Here's 50,000 dollars, Ms. White. Is that enough?" Ron's delicate features showed no expression as he looked at Ms. White mockingly.

Leah was shocked. She did not want money. She wanted Ron's connections. She gritted her teeth, stood frozen for a few seconds, apologized, and left the office.

From now on, she had no relationship with Ron.

Inside the office, the woman still wanted to get close to Ron, but he pushed her away. Ron felt annoyed and lost all interest.

The poor woman had no idea what she had done wrong and innocently looked at Ron.

"Get out," the man's cold gaze fell on her.

Leah did not know how she left the club. She wandered on the streets until nightfall, when she returned to her apartment in a daze.

"Why are you only coming back now?" Serena was waiting for Leah in the hallway. She was full of worry.

"I went to see Ron, hoping he would help me," Leah weakly leaned on Serena.

Seeing her in this condition, Serena did not ask too many questions. It seemed that Ron had rejected her. If he had agreed, Leah would not be like this now.

"Don't worry too much. Maybe he'll come back soon," Serena patted Leah's back and comforted her softly.

They could not call the police now, so they could only wait for Han to return soon.

The doctor checked Han's legs in the hospital and gently placed them back in the wheelchair. "It's not too bad. It can be saved."

Han's deep eyes showed a slight change. He thought he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but Ben contacted him again yesterday.

Ben told him that the most famous orthopedic surgeon in the country was working at Yale Medical Center. Mr. Clinton had cured many people's legs and helped them escape their wheelchairs. Han went to the hospital with a try-it-and-see attitude but did not tell Leah about it.

"I'll send you the treatment plan. If you think it's okay, you can start," the doctor said. "You can't delay the treatment for your legs. What were once minor problems have turned into big ones."

Mr. Clinton took out a pen and wrote a bunch of words fluently.

Ben also pushed Han out of the consultation room.

"Mr. Howard, do we need to continue cooperating with Melville?"

Many collaborations had been forced to stop since Han disappeared.

"Continue. You and Alfred keep an eye on things for me."

Han sat in his wheelchair with a cold expression.

He had intended to give up on himself and live out his life, but fate had given him another chance, and he was determined to take revenge.
