Ch. 366..370: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 366-370
Chapter 366 Restraining Each Other
After talking with Owen, Anna decided to kill Sarah before she really had anything to do with Hendrik.
"Hurry up and kill her at all costs; I want to see her dead body tomorrow morning!"
Anna considered Han after arranging people to deal with Leah.
She seemed serious; her hands were clenched into fists.
"Ethan seems to be hiding something from me." Han was missing in action recently; she could not seem to be in touch with him.
This made her extremely uneasy; he was getting out of her control.
She knew that once he was no longer under their control, he would definitely cancel his marriage with her!
The more Anna thought about it, the more panicked she became. She dialed Han's phone.
"What's the matter?" Han sounded cold as usual.
She shivered involuntarily upon hearing how cold his voice was. She asked carefully, "Ethan, when do you plan to marry me? I don't need anything but you."
She would be rest assured the moment they got married.
Han glowered and replied, "Now is not the time. I'm busy; goodbye."
His attitude toward her was the same as usual, but her instinct told her that something was wrong. He's distancing himself from me!
Her insecurities were all turned into violence; she wanted to kill Sarah and her daughter in order to alleviate her uneasiness.
Meanwhile, Leah was completing an order from the HJ Corporation when she suddenly felt a chilling sensation as if someone were staring coldly at her.
At noon, after having her lunch, she went back to the room to rest.
Hendrik sent her a text message. "Is your cold better?"
She stared at the message with complicated feelings; she felt betrayed by him.
"Hendrik, who are you? Why do you have to get close to me? Does it have something to do with the White Group?" She asked straightforwardly.
Although he strangely came into her life, she knew they did not know each other for long. But she still cherished him as a dear friend.
She wanted to clarify things and clear her doubts with him.
She would never know what would happen in life.
She knew that perhaps they would not be friends for long, but she wanted to appreciate her friends as much as she could.
Hendrik was silent for a long time, and then he replied to her. "I'll never harm you; if you like, the White Group can be yours."
"I've no particular reason for approaching you; don't overthink."
Seeing him explain himself clearly, Leah was a little bit stunned.
He wants to give the White Group to me? It seems like he doesn't know about my past.
She wanted to be a part of the White Group because it was her father's life's work.
But she still rejected him. "It's alright, thank you."
She stopped replying to him; once the trust was broken, it was hard for her to believe him anymore.
Han waited long for her reply, and his face crumpled as he was waiting for what seemed like eternity.
It seems like buying off White Group has raised her suspicions...
Jackson secretly went to Shawn's villa, and he angrily kicked over a luxurious chair.
"This freaking Hendrik! He ruined all my plans!" He desired to hand over the White Group to Shawn in
order for Shawn to restore the single powerful Lamere family.
Hendrik completely destroyed his plans.
It would take a lot of money and resources to build a huge group like this.
Shawn glared at him in dissatisfaction and said, "Don't act crazy in my place."
He's so dumb; luckily I retreated before anything bad happened to me. Shawn thought to himself.
Jackson was enraged by Shawn's callous attitude, but he knew he had to rely on Shawn, so he suppressed his rage.
The two sat at the table and had a serious discussion.
"First we have Han, and now we have Hendrik coming at us too." Jackson felt like he had aged ten years overnight after losing the White Group.
Shawn's face darkened, and he said, "Both of them are extremely powerful and influential; we must be on the good side of one of them."
"So, they can fight among themselves."
Jackson nodded, and he said, "Indeed. Since we're collaborating with Han now, we should consider asking him to be on our side."
"After all, we did not know how to reach Hendrik."
Shawn glowered and responded, "Let's wait for a while; I'll try to reach Hendrik."
If it was possible, he preferred to work with Hendrik against Han.
By defeating Han, Sarah would not think about him anymore.
"You better not put too much effort into that woman, she might ruin you one day..." Jackson knew what Shawn was up to.
Shawn did not want to hear such words; he impatiently asked Jackson to leave. And he called Lucy's phone.
"Give me the schedule of everyone in the studio now."
Lucy was worried, and she asked, "Why do you need it?"
"Don't ask so much! Just give it to me!" Shawn hung up angrily.
Before collaborating with Hendrik, he had to make Sarah fall for him.
He could not get enough of how Sarah treated him in Qustraebar; she was soft and lovely.
Lucy hesitated but still sent him the schedules of everyone, including Leah's.
Seeing Leah would reach the studio at seven o'clock in the morning. He smiled slyly.
In the evening, the sunset glow was crimson.
After getting off work, Leah wanted to take a taxi to Han's villa to accompany Carlotta.
But Ben brought her to Han's luxurious car once she was out of the studio.
Autumn leaves fluttered and fell; she looked at the scenery and said with a frown, "You don't have to pick me up purposely; I can take a taxi by myself."
Han, who was sitting beside her, sneered, "Ha!" Are you worried that Shawn will be jealous?"
"Leah, you can never get away from me in this life!"
His words made her face turn pale, and she remained silent throughout the whole time.
That's right, he'll never let me go.
Back at the villa, Carlotta ran up to them and held their hands happily.
"Daddy, Mommy! You two take so long! I'm hungry!"
Carlotta naturally addressed Han as her dad.
Leah felt uneasy; she felt that Carlotta could never get rid of Han either.
They both were silent during the dinner; Carlotta was the only one talking. She put down her spoon and said, in displeasure, "Daddy, Mommy, are you two fighting again? Why aren't you two chatting to each
other?"
"I saw the parents on television. They are lovey-dovey! The two of you should talk things through!"
Carlotta reprimanded the two of them like an adult.
Leah was laughing, and she was about to explain herself, but Carlotta continued to say, "Mommy, you've left Daddy alone too long by going overseas!"
"You should feed him now to make up with him..."
Chapter 367 It’s Not Our First Time
Leah was stunned. She anxiously glanced at Han, and she talked in a lowered voice, "Carlotta, be a good girl and finish your food."
"Leah, Carlotta already suggested it; are you going to disappoint her?"
Han talked in a calm manner, and he did not look as cold as his usual self.
For a moment, she could not believe it.
Can he really accept my feeding him?
Carlotta urged her when she froze. "Mommy, quickly make up with Daddy!"
Leah used her fork to pick up a piece of chicken and moved in front of his lips.
She was ready to be humiliated, so she lowered her head and looked at the ground.
Until she smelled the fragrance that belonged to him, her hand holding the fork trembled, and he ate the food she fed.
"You should eat too."
Hearing his low and sexy voice, her heart skipped a beat.
The luxurious crystal lighting shone on his handsome face; he seemed softer and warmer at that moment.
Leah could not stop looking at him; her heart was pounding hard.
At the beginning of their story, she had imagined such an ordinary and happy life with him countless times.
It was such a pity that the two of them were always hurting each other; they missed each other.
"Have you seen enough?" Seeing the woman staring at him in a daze, Han broke into a smile.
He was always affected by every facial expression and move made by Leah.
"Hmm..." She was embarrassed at being caught by him.
He hates me so much; he should be humiliating me in no time.
But after a long time, she did not hear anything from Han. She raised her head in confusion, and she accidentally locked into his deep gaze.
She was so startled that she stood up suddenly, and she knocked over the hot soup on the table. The hot soup spilled all over her hands.
"Mommy!" Carlotta was frightened.
Her hands were swelling rapidly; Han's heart sank seeing it, and he strode to her.
He grabbed her hands and brought her into the bathroom, where he rinsed her hands under cold water.
"Ahh…" The sensation of the icy water hurt her hands. Leah hissed and gasped in pain; her eyes were filled with tears.
Han was getting furious, and he snorted, "You don't have to perform such a trick to get my attention!"
She always didn't take good care of herself!
She hasn't even recovered from the cold, and she's burned now.
Leah was speechless. She was sweating cold sweats from the pain.
As the water flowed against her hands, she was in deep pain and slowly loosening her strength. She was dizzy and trembling.
She fell onto a warm chest; his body fragrance made her feel safe and secure.
"Thank you; you can let me go now." After a while, her pain was relieved, and she wanted to get out of his arms.
Han straightaway picked her up and went back to the room, and he put her on the bed. "Don't move; I'll call for the family doctor."
His voice was still cold, but she felt something warm in her heart.
Her head was still dizzy, and looking at his strong and fit back, her eyes reddened.
At this moment, she did not want to suppress her feelings for him anymore.
But he'll torture me if he can feel my love.
I don't want to get hurt or hurt the people around me anymore...
Just let it be this way.
After arranging for the family doctor, he turned around and found that Leah had fallen asleep.
His heart ached as he sat by her bedside, seeing her swollen hands.
Leah somehow fell into a deep sleep; she did not wake up even after the family doctor bandaged her hands.
Carlotta leaned nervously on the edge of the bed and looked at her. "Daddy, will Mommy be alright?"
Han glowered, and he replied, "Yes. You should go to bed first; I'll look after her."
Carlotta wanted to stay back and take care of her, but she knew that she could not be much help. So she obediently went back to her room.
"Daddy, please look after Mommy!"
Han caressed Leah's smooth cheek; his cold heart was melting within her.
"Leah, why can't I just stay away from you?"
He forced himself to hate her countless times, but he never succeeded.
"A-Ah…" Leah groaned in discomfort; she wanted to scratch the burn.
Han restrained her hands, and he said, "Don't move; your injury itches as it's healing now."
Leah woke up from the itchiness of her injury; she saw that her hands had been bandaged, and he was even holding her hands. She froze and said, "T-thank you."
He helped her after all.
She wanted to withdraw her hands, but he was not willing to let go.
She frowned and said, "I'm fine; can you let me go first?"
The temperature of his warm hands made her heart throb uncontrollably.
As time went by, the moonlight became brighter. She felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing her flustered red cheeks, Han's anger calmed down.
"Don't scratch your injury." He let go of her hands and left.
She sighed with relief hearing his footsteps go further. Looking at her bandaged hands, she felt restless.
I want to use the bathroom...
The maids of the villa were all resting at the moment; Han was the only one awake.
She could never ask for his help using the toilet.
Han reheated some dishes for her, and he saw her biting off her bandage when he entered the room.
"Leah Murray! What are you doing?" He tensed up, and he simply put the food on the table, and he forcefully grabbed her wrist.
His was short of breath, and he stared at her deadly. "You can hate me, but you don't have to punish yourself like this!"
"You should think about how Carlotta feels!"
Seeing how he misunderstood her, she blushed. And she could not break free from his grasp for a long time.
After a while, she lowered her head and explained thoroughly. "N-No... I-I... want to use the toilet."
Her voice was trembling out of shame, and Han was stunned upon hearing her.
"I'll take you there." He came back to his senses, and he carried her to the toilet.
His hands landed on her trousers; Leah was ashamed, and her eyes were filled with tears. She quickly rejected it by saying, "No... I can do it myself."
I can't accept him helping me in the bathroom...
Han's ears were softened by her demeanor; he could smell her pleasant aroma.
He avoided touching her hands, and he held her waist. He breathed hotly into her ears, and he said, "It's not like we haven't slept with each other before. Why are you still shy?"
Chapter 368 Lost in the Moment
Han's voice was hoarse with lust.
Leah felt his burning body, and her cheeks turned red. She muttered, "I—I…"
He was not wrong, but she could not accept it.
She felt strange and embarrassed.
He seemed like he wanted to kill me the day before, and now he's so gentle with me.
"Since you don't want to use the toilet, we should do other things instead." He pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
He hugged her from behind, and he kissed the corner of her lips. One of his hands was taking off her clothes.
She wanted to push him away, but he pinned down her hands.
At that moment, Han pressed her against the cold wall, and he raised her hands over her head. He then kissed her lips softly.
His kiss was gentle and soft, unlike previous ones. Leah fell for his gentleness; she stopped fighting back and unconsciously kissed him back.
Han froze when he realized that she had actually reacted to him. He looked at her cautiously, and he was getting more passionate.
It was as if she was his precious treasure in the world; he was being careful not to hurt her hands.
At that moment, he could not maintain his hateful acts toward her.
In an instant, Leah's clothes were completely taken off. She came back to her senses when she felt the coldness in the air.
She dodged Han's kiss, and she lowered her head. She did not want to let him see her flushed cheeks. "I-I... really have to use the toilet... you should go out first."
Anyway, her clothes were all taken off; it did not matter whether she was shy or not.
Just like he said, they had done all sorts of intimate things together.
Seeing her reddened cheeks, he did not want to let her hold back her pee. So he kissed her lips one more time before he left. "Okay, call me when you're done."
After using the toilet, she filled the bathtub with water to bathe.
Recalling what happened just now, she wanted to bang her head on the wall.
What was I doing? Reciprocating to his kiss?
She wanted to cover her face, but the gauze on her hands stopped her.
Leah did not come out of the bathroom after thirty minutes; Han anxiously opened the door, and he saw her lying in the bathtub.
He frowned and asked, "How do you plan to get dressed?" He carried her out of the bathtub and rinsed off the bubbles on her under the showerhead. After drying her with a towel, he dressed her and carried her back to the bed.
He seemed to be doing all of this naturally.
Leah was embarrassed, and she lost her words.
It's like we're not enemies tonight...
After some time, Han finished showering and got dressed. He heated the food one more time and brought it to her once more.
"Open your mouth." He scooped up a spoonful of warm mushroom soup for her.
Leah was dumbfounded to be taken care of by Han just now; seeing him wanting to feed her, she asked curiously, "Are you really Han?"
His face darkened, and he forced her to drink. "Of course I am; I thought you burned your hands only; is your brain burned too?"
She kissed me passionately just now, and now she's asking, "Who am I?
"Y-you.. you don't have to care about me, actually." She lowered her head and avoided looking at him.
Since you hate me this much... Why would you want to care about me?
"Stop talking nonsense and open your mouth." Han was in a good mood and too lazy to talk about unhappy things with her.
Leah could only obediently eat; she was falling asleep halfway through.
Han wanted to feed her more, but suddenly she laid on his shoulders and slept.
He stared at her for a long time, and he put aside the tableware and tucked her into the bed.
He slept next to her, and his heart was beating uncontrollably looking at her sleep.
He wanted time to freeze forever at this moment.
Leah's phone vibrated at that moment.
Seeing Donald's name on her phone, he almost thought that Leah had something with him.
He easily unlocked her phone with Carlotta's birthday.
"Ms. White, I found out that Anna was the culprit who harmed you in several incidents. I know I'm powerless against her, but I'll do everything in my power to protect you and Carlotta. Please don't be troubled by my actions. I'm not asking you for a romantic relationship like it's rumored. I just wanted to
repay your kindness to me."
"I know that I have always been a bad person, but please believe that I'm sincere to you."
Donald expressed his thoughts to her, but Han stopped reading. He turned off her phone and held her in his arms.
I really misunderstood her before this.
No wonder she's so depressed and disappointed at me back then...
Recalling that incident, his head hurt. He kissed her forehead and mumbled, "I'm sorry."
She slept soundly after so many months.
When she was awake, it was already afternoon.
She wanted to check on the time, but her bandaged hands restrained her moves.
She got up and wanted to look at the clock hanging in the living room, but a big hand pulled her back to the bed, and she fell into a warm and firm embrace.
"You... let me go, it's getting late, and I'm going to the studio..." She blushed thinking about what happened yesterday night.
She was anxious and devastated at the same time; her instinct thought that he was toying with her.
For a moment, she felt a headache in this situation.
He looked calm, and he held her waist naturally. "Look at your hand; what can you do now?"
She tried moving her hands, but the pain and numb sensations were too strong.
She lowered her head and leaned on his chest; she was silent.
Seeing her as sweet and obedient, Han's mood was lightened. "It's lunchtime; let's get up and eat."
He knew he would lose a simple and happy life like this soon.
He still dressed Leah after she woke up.
During lunch, Carlotta volunteered to feed her. "Mommy, I'm a big girl now! I can take care of you!"
Her cute voice melted her heart; she somehow felt sorry for Carlotta to be so sensible.
As an adult, she had to be sensible too.
"H-Hey… Can you feed me?" She looked at Han nervously.
She was not sure if he would help him again; she did not want to trouble Carlotta.
"I have a name." Han was overjoyed to see her asking for his help.
She called carefully, "Han…"
Carlotta was not happy when she addressed him. "Mommy, you're wrong; you should call Daddy your hubby!"
Chapter 369 Upcoming Climax
"Mommy, hurry up and call 'hubby'!" Carlotta urged once more.
Leah was totally speechless.
Carlotta was picking up the wrong thing from the television program.
"Forget it; I'll go to the studio to eat." She could not bring herself to say it, so she came up with an excuse.
Han did not want to let her escape, so he pinned her down on the chair and said, "Come on."
Hearing his words, she was shocked. "Y-You…"
Why is he agreeing to it? Even if he's teasing me, he'll be disgusted by me, won't he?
Her extremely shocked appearance enraged Han; he asked, "You can't do it?"
Leah was taken back, and her face turned pale. She did not want to worry Carlotta, so she said slowly, "H-Hu...Hubby..."
After saying it, she felt that all of her energy was drained; her eyes turned red in an instant.
Such simple words brought out too many memories between them.
It hurt her heart no matter where she thought about it.
Han felt the same way; he froze, and his eyes dimmed.
He raised his head to look at Leah; seeing her reddened eyes, his heart sank.
He'd been feeling like he was in a sweet dream since last night.
One day in the future... Can it be possible for me and her to start over again?
Her phone vibrated and broke the silence between them.
She saw Lucy was calling her, but she could not pick up the phone with her injured hands. She looked at Han with her watery eyes.
He felt good to be depended on by her.
He answered the call and put the phone on her ear.
"Ms. White, why are you not here in the studio yet? Both you and Serena haven't arrived; we're overwhelmed without the two of you."
Hearing Lucy's words; she was stunned. "Shouldn't she be at the studio at seven o'clock?"
"She's the one that sets her timing, and she's always punctual. She would have called if she was late."
Lucy was also taken aback, so she responded, "But she didn't pick up her phone at all; since that's the case, and you're not here either, we thought the both of you went out together."
Leah panicked, and she asked Han to hang up the call and then dialed Serena's phone.
Just like Lucy said, no one was picking up the phone.
"I have to go..." She looked lost; she had to find out where Serena was.
After Alfred's incident, she always thought the worst would happen uncontrollably.
Seeing her pale face, Han got frustrated and said, "You can't do much; I'll find her for you."
He called Ben and said, "Find out where Serena is."
After making the arrangement, Han brought Leah back to the dining table and said to Carlotta, "Please feed your mommy." He left after saying it.
Carlotta climbed into the chair happily, and she said, "Mommy, you can sit when I stand; then we'll be at the same height. I can feed you easily with it."
She lost her appetite thinking about Serena, but she did not want to disappoint Carlotta. "Thank you, Carlotta...
"You're welcome, Mommy!"
After eating, she wanted to leave for work. But Serena's disappearance made her overthink; she could
not leave Carlotta out of her sight.
She almost lost it last time.
Shawn stood in a dim room, and in front of him was a huge screen showing the footage of the live surveillance.
He clicked into one of them, and it showed that Serena fainted in a messy room; she was being locked up.
"The more she suffers, the more Sarah will rely on me." He felt the satisfaction of torturing Serena, and he was determined to achieve his goal.
Sarah can only be mine.
Suddenly, his assistant rushed in and said, "Boss, it's no good! Han is on us!"
Shawn glowered and snorted, "Why is he interrupting us?"
Han has been friends with Serena since when? Wait a minute!
Shawn thought of a possibility, and his face crumpled. "Could it be Sarah went to him for help?"
He sounded mad and insane; he wanted to murder Han. His assistant was frightened in a cold sweat, and he responded, "Boss, this possibility cannot be ruled out; after all, Ms. White has not gone to the studio since yesterday...
"Carlotta is with Han, so she might be with him now…"
Shawn aggressively kicked the wooden table in front of him; his face was contorted with rage.
"Dammit, H-Han…"
"Since his assistant is coming at us, let's surprise them with a gift."
Since Han's appearance ruined his plan, he might as well take advantage of him.
Leah received Shawn's call after she ate.
Carlotta answered her phone, and she smiled and said, "Mommy, take your time to chat; I'll watch the television program by myself."
Leah frowned and asked, "Shawn, what's wrong?"
She would have gone to him for help if Han had not taken over this matter.
"Sarah, are you okay?" Lucy told me that Serena went missing!
He sounded worried; it saddened her, "I'm fine…"
Serena might be harmed due to me; I shouldn't keep her by my side anymore...
"Don't worry; I'll help you find her." He comforted her.
After talking for a while, she hung up the phone.
Shawn was laughing crazily, and he muttered, "Han, I'll let you have a taste of losing her!
Jackson heard his words, and his face darkened. "Please make your priorities right and stop acting like a child."
"Shut up, what do you want?" Shawn glared at him, and he continued to say, "You're not right at interfering in my business; play your role right."
Jackson was enraged, but he suppressed his anger. He knew that he was not as powerful as he once was.
"I've gotten Hendrik's contact; it's time for you to meet up with him."
"Or, you can choose to work with Han instead."
Shawn squinted his eyes, and he took the contact from Jackson. He murmured, "Fine, I'll contact him after the incident today."
He smirked as he imagined what would happen next.
Han, you should play right later... Don't disappoint yourself…
In the afternoon, Leah felt so much better accompanying Carlotta at Han's villa.
She heard from Ben that they had found Serena and that she would be rescued soon.
At that moment, Shawn video called her. After pondering it for a while, she instructed Carlotta to answer it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There were loud gun noises over the phone.
Shawn anxiously said, "Sarah! I wanted to save Serena, but Han's men stopped me. They wanted to kill Serena, and I'm worried that you don't believe it. I'll broadcast it live for you."
Chapter 370 A Twisted Plot
Through the screen, Leah saw Serena faint on the floor. And Ben was attacking Shawn's men.
Shawn's bodyguards were protecting Serena.
She couldn't believe Han would do such a thing, but she never forgot his vow to exact revenge on her.
Her blood ran cold, and her heart hurt seeing it. She was devastated.
"Where are you..." She almost could not bring herself to speak. Her facial expression was numb.
She absolutely did not want others to lose their lives for her anymore.
"It's okay, I'll rescue her, and you should have a good rest in the studio." Shawn hastily hung up the phone.
After achieving his goal, he had a sly smile on his face. He patted the shoulder of his assistant, and he said, "Your live Photoshop skill is excellent; indeed, you're a pro hacker!"
Actually, Han's men were the ones protecting Serena; Shawn's bodyguards were attacking her.
Under the hacker's photoshop, he swapped both sides faces.
So, Sarah would think that Han's men were attacking instead of Shawn's.
The assistant was happy to be of help. He said, "Mr. Ford, one day there will be no trust between Han and Ms. White anymore."
Shawn sneered, "That's right. My next step is to take the White Group back."
He not only wanted to be on top of Linkville; he wanted to be on top of the world. Everyone, including people like Hendrik, should bow down to him!
He glanced sarcastically at the fake Serena; it was much easier than he expected to trick Han.
Shawn retreated with his assistant and bodyguards.
Ben thought that he had won, and he dashed toward Serena.
"This is not Serena..." After seeing the woman's face clearly, Ben was stunned.
Soon he realized that he had been fooled, and he quickly contacted Han. "Boss, it's no good! We're tricked!"
Han was not surprised; he responded faintly, "Alright, come back now."
He hid in a dark office, and his laptop was playing live footage of the fight between his men and Shawn's.
He actually knew what Shawn was up to by kidnapping Serena.
B-But… Will Serena really believe his lie?
Leah stared at her bandaged hands in a daze, tears streaming down her face.
She was lost and hopeless; she hoped someone could guide her.
Did he really stage all of these in order to break me down?
She received a new text message from Hendrik.
"Aren't us friends? Why don't you believe me?"
He was referring to Leah's ignorance after the White Group incident.
She wiped her tears, and she was devastated.
She could not differentiate what was real and what was fake anymore.
However, he was capable, so she decided to ask for his help.
"Excuse me, can I ask for a favor?"
Hendrik agreed to her request immediately, and he sent her several videos.
The first footage showed that Serena was sedated and taken away by someone.
The second footage showed the real scene of Shawn's and Han's men fighting.
Seeing the real footage, her mind went blank.
"Who is the one saving Serena? Shawn video called me and showed me that Han's men wanted to kill her.
She could not figure it out; her head was throbbing in pain. She was exhausted.
Carlotta looked at her from a distance. She was worried for her. She called Han and said, "Daddy, when are you coming back? Mommy seems so unwell.
Back then, Shawn was good to her, but she felt so much closer to Han.
Han could fulfill every one of her requests, and he would spend time with her to play and tell her bedtime stories.
She saw Han as her biological father, and she fully relied on him.
Hearing her words, Han's heart sank. He wanted to go back to them, but Ben notified him that Anna was here.
"Carlotta, I'm occupied at the moment; I'll send the family doctor home."
He was worried Carlotta might misunderstand him, so he quickly said, "I'll get back as soon as I can."
After finishing the call, he took out another phone to reply to Leah as Hendrik.
"Top-notch hackers can easily swap faces; the Serena in the video was fake." The real Serena should be at Shawn's, and he'll come to you soon to take credit."
Hendrik's reply left Leah dumbstruck. Did Shawn stage all this? From how well I know him, he might do this...
But how much can I trust Hendrik's words?
When she was stunned, Shawn's call brought her back to her senses.
"Sarah, I've rescued Serena; she's in a hospital now." "Do you want to visit her now?"
She stood up abruptly, her eyes reddening, and she said, "Send me the address!"
After the call was over, the family doctor and Ben arrived. She could still entrust Carlotta to Ben; she said, "Please look after her; Serena is in the hospital; I'll pay her a visit."
Ben was taken aback, and he asked, "Huh? Serena was found? We're tricked; the woman wasn't her just now.
His words made Leah trust Hendrik's words fully; her blood ran cold. "I-I… I'll go first."
She was devastated, but she wanted to make sure that Serena was fine.
She followed the address, and she saw that Serena was brutally injured.
Shawn looked guilty. He came up to her and said, "Sorry, Sarah; I didn't save her in time; she has a
mild concussion and a dislocated right hand, and she will be hospitalized for ten days."
Leah looked at him with a complicated expression. She wanted to question him, but she swallowed her words.
"T-Thank you… How did you manage to save her? I thought Han's men were aggressive…"
She walked up to Serena, but questioned him.
Shawn did not know that his plan had failed, but her unusual stiffness raised his suspicion.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
From what he knew, she should be worried about Serena's condition, but she was focusing on how she had been saved now.
He squinted his eyes and said slowly, "It's true that we lost to his men, but we heard Anna's men reporting the situation to Han and found out that the real Serena was being transferred..."
