Ch. 81..85: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 81-85
Chapter 81
Leah waited at the Howard residence for a few more days.
Everything was perfect during her time at the Howard residence, except for Han’s restriction of her mobility to the residence at all times.
Han promised to help her find Charlie, and she trusted him.
That man was perfect in every way—aside from the fact that he didn’t love her.
So four days had passed in that manner.
When Leah went downstairs to get some water one night and noticed that the standing floor lamp in the living room was still on, she subconsciously frowned and lightened her steps.
Leah went downstairs and noticed someone leaning on the sofa, which turned out to be Han.
He was leaning very still against the sofa, and he didn’t even notice when Leah came over.
After some hesitation, Leah approached him, intending to ask him if he had found Charlie.
Unexpectedly, when she walked over, she discovered Han had fallen asleep while leaning on the sofa.
She looked at him with a slight frown. There was a hint of eye bags, and his face appeared exhausted. He slept poorly, as evidenced by the deep furrows that had developed between his brows as he leaned against the sofa.
Leah sighed and hesitated for a moment before deciding it would be best to leave him alone.
She turned around, but as she did so, she caught sight of a stack of papers Han was pressing against the sofa’s corner out of the corner of her eye.
For some reason, when she looked at the stack of documents, her heart leapt.
She pursed her lips and paused only briefly before setting the cup in her hand down. She squatted down and carefully removed the stack of documents from his side.
Leah carefully examined the stack of documents.
However, the more she looked, the solemn her face became.
The information contained in the stack of documents was all about Charlie.
The information included his recent travels, his lodgings, the restaurants he frequented, and the bank from which he withdrew money.
Regardless of the details, the investigation had been thorough.
The more Leah looked, the more her hands trembled. She took a deep breath as she reached the final page.
Charlie had last been seen at a small inn called “Simple Point.”
Leah frowned deeply as she examined the address on the paper.
The inn was located on the outskirts of Linkville!
Charlie had never left Linkville!
In a daze, Leah returned to the room. She couldn’t sleep a wink all night because she kept thinking that Charlie, the murderer, was still at large.
Han awoke on the sofa the next day with a backache.
He frowned slightly as he looked at the blanket draped over him.
Han’s expression changed as he reached out his hand to pick up the information he had gleaned from the investigation that was lying beside him.
Why do I feel as if something isn’t right here?
……
The living room was quiet in the morning.
Downstairs, there was only one servant cleaning the living room.
Leah stood upstairs, leaning against the stair railing, solemnly looking at the servant’s back.
She was determined to track down Charlie and bring him to justice!
She took a deep breath and went downstairs, but on the last two steps, she cried out and fell to the ground.
When the maid heard the motion, she was startled and rushed over to help her, “Ms. White, are you okay?”
Leah’s face was pale, her brows furrowed, and she gripped her ankle with a painful expression.
She uttered, “I think I’ve sprained my foot. Can you go to my room and bring me the medicine kit?”
Hearing that, the maid paused for a moment before saying, “I think I’d better inform Mr. Howard.”
“No need, don’t bother him with such trivial matters.” Leah gave her a sincere look and said, “Are you worried that I’ll try to escape? Don’t worry. If I had wanted to flee, I would have done so long ago.”
Hearing those words, the maid paused for a moment before gritting her teeth and said, “Okay. Please wait for me here, Ms. White.”
After she finished speaking, the maid rushed upstairs.
When her figure vanished from view, Leah jumped up from the sofa, quietly apologized to the maid, turned around, and dashed out the door.
Han seemed confident that Leah would not try to escape, and did not dispatch bodyguards to keep an eye on her.
Leah walked out of the Howards’ villa unhindered.
Leah had memorized the address of the small inn on the document the night before, and as soon as she got to the road, she took a taxi to the inn.
Leah arrived in front of the Simple Point inn on the outskirts of the city forty minutes later.
She paid her fare and entered the inn.
“Hello, what kind of room are you looking for?” At the front desk sat a middle-aged man with a potbelly. When he saw Leah, he narrowed his eyes on her.
“Excuse me, do you have a guest named Charlie Parridge here?” Leah asked softly, suppressing her discomfort.
The man’s eyes grew wary as he heard those words.
He didn’t answer Leah’s question, instead asking tentatively, “What’s the matter with this person?”
“He’s my father. After an argument with my mother, he ran away from home. My mother instructed me to go and look for him.” Leah flatly stated.
The man was still not convinced by her words.
His main skepticism stemmed from the fact that the young lady in front of him looked very elegant, and a very indifferent demeanor. She gave off the impression that she was from a powerful and affluent family at first glance.
And that man… To be more specific, he resembled a murderer.
“He-he! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, young lady. Our inn is not permitted to disclose customer information.” The man said with a wave of his hand, “We do not have the person you seek. You should leave right away!”
Leah frowned slightly when she heard that.
This small inn didn’t even have a business license. How could it be so law-abiding?
After giving it some thought, she removed a stack of cash from her bag and placed it on the front desk’s table.
“There are two thousand dollars here. If you tell me, I will give you three thousand more.”
When he saw the stack of cash, the man’s eyes lit up!
He quickly lost sight of himself.
“All right, I’ll tell you.” The man took a small notebook from the drawer, turned a few pages, and said, “I found it. Charlie Parridge, right? He’s in room 114.”
“Okay, are you sure he didn’t check out?”
“He couldn’t possibly check out after booking for a week in a row! No problem at all!” The man assured her.
Leah nodded, handed the money to the man, and turned to leave.
She was going to call the police.
She exhaled in relief as she made her way outside the inn.
In any case, I can exact revenge on my father. As for Jane, I will explain it to her.
However, as Leah walked out of the inn, she noticed someone walking slowly on the road not far away.
He wore a thin coat and a peaked cap in the hot weather, and his entire body exuded a gloomy aura.
It’s Charlie!
Leah was startled and ducked to the side to conceal herself.
Charlie’s vision was mostly obscured by the brim of his peaked cap, so he didn’t notice Leah.
He dragged his feet and walked slowly into the inn.
Leah heaved a sigh of relief as she realized he hadn’t noticed her and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
Charlie, who had already walked into the hotel, suddenly turned around as she was standing up!
Chapter 82
Leah instantly stood still, her blood flowing against her body as if she were frozen.
Her gaze met Charlie’s!
Charlie’s mouth suddenly curled into a smile when he saw her. The smile he gave complemented the scar on his chin, which had a slightly ominous and frightening appearance.
Leah was completely chilled from head to toe.
Her legs became weak. Then she clenched her teeth and tried to keep her cool. The next instant, she plucked her feet and bolted.
With a grim smile on his face, Charlie grinned icily.
He was aware of Leah’s release from prison.
He had been looking for her for a few days because he was afraid she would report him. He was still perplexed as to how he could locate her. But she did him good. She had walked right up to his door.
Charlie pursued Leah with his heavy steps.
He won’t let her get away.
Leah ran with trepidation, especially since Charlie was right behind her. His steps were very heavy, each one feeling as though it were trampling on her heart.
Leah’s mind was a wreck.
Her feet stumbled suddenly, Leah’s expression changed, and she fell to the ground.
“Gotcha.”
Charlie’s gruff voice came from behind.
Leah wanted to get back up and run, but a sharp pain shot through her scalp.
“Ah!”
Charlie grabbed Leah by her hair from behind.
At this point, they were standing by a small alley. Charlie then grabbed Leah’s hair and dragged her further into the alley.
Leah immediately had the image of Charlie killing Gordon in her head.
She must not follow him or she would perish!
“Help! Help!” Leah began to cry out for help like crazy.
However, the city’s outskirts were sparsely populated, and this place was even more isolated and uninhabited. How could anyone have heard her cries for help?
Even if someone did, who would have the courage to come up and help her?
“Slap!” Charlie slapped Leah across the face.
“Bitch, how dare you call for help?” Charlie sneered as he dragged her by her hair into a box!
He threw Leah inside like a rag, then looked around before picking up a steel pipe from the side and walking towards her.
“I’m warning you! Han has already found out your whereabouts, and the reconnaissance team will bring someone here soon. You won’t be able to escape even if you kill me!” Leah shrank back.
Charlie laughed coldly, and the scar on his chin grew increasingly ferocious. “Then I might as well not run and kill you, and I believe Han will thank me.”
Leah clenched her hands tightly, and swore, “You will get your karma!”
“What a shame. I doubt you’ll be alive to see that day!” As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and whacked Leah.
Charlie struck Leah on the head with ruthless force.
Blood immediately flowed down her eyes, and down to her chin.
She only felt a dull ache in her brain, as if it were about to explode.
Leah’s vision began to dim.
Charlie’s hideous face and his crazy smile were all she could see before passing out.
“Bang!”
Another sound was heard.
But it wasn’t the sound of Charlie hitting Leah on the head!
When Charlie realized what had happened, he immediately fell to the ground.
With a frown, Ron strode directly to Leah and scooped her up without even giving Charlie a second glance.
……
Leah only felt that her brain was groggy.
It hurts, but there were other sensations.
She began to dream again.
She had a happy and blissful family in her dream, with a gentle and beautiful mother and a loving father who always spoiled her.
Such bliss was destroyed by an accident in the dream. She went mountain climbing with her family, but she accidentally fell into the sea, destroying everything.
In her dream, she had plastic surgery to make her look like someone else and lived as that person. Her father became an alcoholic.
Sasha White was her name in the dream.
Later, it became Sarah White.
She married Han, and after a series of trials, she finally believed she could pursue happiness.
However, someone had destroyed everything.
Blood. Eyes full of blood.
Leah could only feel a heavy heart and her mind went blank. She felt as if she was out of breath.
She remembered.
She remembered everything!
She was not Leah Murray at all. She was the White family’s eldest daughter.
Even though she had also fallen into the sea, she was not responsible for Han’s father’s death.
“Don’t!” Leah screamed and opened her eyes abruptly!
The first thing she saw was a snow-white wall, and she could hear two people talking quietly beside her.
“Why isn’t she awake yet?”
“Come on, now! She got hit on the head with a steel pipe. How can it be so quick? What are you in such a rush for?”
“I notice her face is very pale.”
“Isn’t that normal? Why are you so concerned about her? I’ve never seen you bring any woman to my place before, not even that Jade. Why? Do you like this woman?”
“Scram!”
There was one very familiar voice among the two.
Leah turned her head, a dull expression on her face, to see Ron standing by the bed, staring at her.
“Are you awake?” Ron looked at her.
“Where is this?” Leah asked, her voice hoarse.
Hearing her hoarse voice, Ron frowned slightly. He brought her a glass of water from the bedside table, handed it to her, and leaned leisurely on the bedside. “My home.”
Leah frowned lightly. Then, she sipped some water, and felt a burst of freshness in her throat. After setting the cup down, she looked at the man next to Ron.
Ron said casually, “Oh, he’s my friend and a doctor. Every time I was injured before, he took care of me.”
The doctor approached and smiled, “Aloha, gorgeous! How are you feeling?”
Leah frowned, “My head hurts a bit.”
“Oh, yes,” Leah coughed, “I suddenly have some memories in my head.”
“Huh? There is such a thing?” The doctor glanced at the medical chart on the side, “The report shows that there was some blood clot in your brain, which was broken off when you got hit with the steel pipe. Um… That should be it.”
Ron glared at him, “What do you mean by that? Are you even credible?”
“Right, I’ll get her medicine. You guys can catch up,” the doctor said, rolling his eyes and stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“Where’s Charlie?” Leah asked Ron after the doctor had left.
“You mean that man? I don’t know. Why are you asking for that man?”
Leah clenched her hands tightly, “He killed my father.”
Ron’s expression shifted slightly.
After a brief period of silence, he sighed and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find him.”
“Ron, thank you,” Leah said gratefully to him.
Ron’s eyes were a little downcast as he said, “Hey, I only heard about you in the last few days. When I saw you in a taxi today, I thought I was mistaken, so I followed you to confirm my suspicions. I didn’t
expect it to really be you. If I hadn’t followed you, you’d be dead by now.”
Chapter 83
In that regard, Leah’s face paled slightly.
When he saw her contorted face, Ron retracted his words and sighed slightly, “You just woke up. Rest first. I’ll ask someone to get you something to eat.”
Leah nodded, and Ron left.
Leah’s body gradually recovered after a few days at Ron’s house.
It was also during these past few days that she got to know Ron better.
That man was not as violent as she had imagined.
He was carefree and a little obtuse at times.
Three days passed in that manner. Leah was dazed in the living room on this particular day. The door was opened, and Ron emerged in a state of disarray.
He took a glass of water and placed it in front of Leah, saying, “We can’t stay here any longer. What are you going to do?”
Leah’s first reaction was to ask him, “Why can’t we stay here anymore?”
Ron shrugged, his expression seemed indifferent. “My enemy has discovered this location, and he should arrive in a matter of days, so I am changing places.”
It ended up being the case.
Leah heaved a sigh in relief.
Fortunately… It wasn’t Han who had found them.
She clenched her fists and considered for a moment, “How about I go with you?”
When Ron heard that, he raised his eyebrows and a grin popped up on his face. “Leah, do you know what this sentence means?”
Leah’s face flushed, and she bit her lower lip helplessly. “I didn’t mean it that way.”
Ron’s smile broadened, and he unexpectedly reached out his hand and pinched her cheeks, saying, “I know.”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, “Then pack your belongings, we’ll be moving in the next two days.”
Leah nodded, and said, “Okay.”
Ron was surprised to see her agree so firmly. He turned and studied her, his eyes somewhat meaningful.
“Have you given it serious thought, Leah?”
“What?”
“You must be always ready to leave at any time if you want to follow me because I am a ruffian, and I am doomed to never be able to settle down in one place.”
His eyes were a little deep when he said those words, and his handsome face was mature and unmatched for his age.
Previously, a woman had stated that she would follow him.
Later, she died because of him.
Leah’s heart froze, her palms clenched slightly.
“I…” She bit her lip.
In fact, she didn’t give it much thought at all.
However, it appeared that following Ron was the best option.
After a while, Leah nodded, “I’ll go with you.”
“Whether you are fleeing for your life or aimlessly wandering the globe,” she said as she inhaled deeply, and her tone grew steadily firmer.
Ron looked at her with deep eyes.
He suddenly experienced an emotion he never felt before.
“Okay.”
……
Meanwhile, Han had returned to find Leah gone.
The maid turned pale with fear and knelt on the ground quickly to admit her fault. “Sir, I just went to get something, and Ms. White managed to flee. I don’t know…”
Han narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists tightly.
He had no idea that that woman would dare to flee.
He frowned slightly as he remembered the stack of documents he had left on the sofa the day before.
Could it be that she saw the documents and discovered Charlie’s whereabouts, so she went looking for him?
If this is the case, she is likely to be in danger.
With that in mind, Han made a quick phone call. “Find that woman right away.”
Three days had quickly gone by.
It had been three days and there was still no news of Leah.
Han even wondered if she had left Linkville.
No, she couldn’t have left.
On the fourth day, Leah packed her belongings and left the small apartment with Ron early in the morning.
Leah looked out the window as she sat in the car.
“What’s the matter?” Ron asked as he started the car.
Leah sighed and asked him, “How has my mother been lately?”
Ron raised his eyebrows, thinking for a moment. “The situation doesn’t seem very good. The entire White family was devastated since the last incident.”
Leah’s heart sank even more when she heard that.
She bit her lower lip and turned to face Ron. “Can you take me back to the White House to take a look? Only one quick look,” she asked, her eyes had a beseeching look in them.
Ron questioned her, “Are you certain?”
He had a bad feeling about it.
Leah nodded.
“All right,” Ron said, “since it is your wish, I will fulfill it.”
He started the car and drove to the White family’s villa after he finished speaking.
The car arrived at the villa’s gate half an hour later.
Leah entered the password, the iron gate slowly opened, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
The password has not been changed, proving… Maybe Mom realized she had been misunderstood as well.
Her heart ached as she remembered what had happened before.
“Go in by yourself. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Ron slowly lit a cigarette for himself, and a flash of disgust flashed through his eyes as he looked at the White family’s villa.
Leah was so consumed with Jane at the time, so it was natural that she did not see it.
She entered the villa, walked through the fountain and garden, and then came to a halt in front of the pavilion.
A woman was sitting in the pavilion at the time, wearing a white skirt and her long hair was slightly pulled up. Her back was to her, and the image appeared to be very peaceful and tranquil.
When Leah saw that figure, her eyes suddenly turned red.
She walked towards Jane.
Jane turned around when she detected some sound, her initially calm expression changed slightly when she saw Leah.
Jane cried to Leah, “Don’t get any closer.”
Leah’s steps came to a halt as pain flashed across her eyes.
“Mom, it’s me.” Leah looked at her.
Jane’s tears flowed down instantly.
She looked at Leah and shook her head. “I don’t want to see you yet. You should leave.”
Leah could only feel the pain in her heart. “You believe those rumors outside, don’t you? But how could I possibly kill dad? He’s my father,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Jane was crying and covering her mouth as she looked at her.
Leah took a deep breath and smiled sadly.
She thought this was her home.
However, her only home was now gone.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I just came back to check on you. I’m relieved that you’re okay.” Leah smiled, “I’m leaving. Han must be looking for me. I can’t stay in Linkville any longer. Maybe… I’ll never be back here again.”
“It’s my fault that I brought disaster to the White family. You must look after your health after I leave.” Leah knelt and bowed respectfully to Jane.
“Take care, mom,” she said.
Jane burst into tears.
She tried to speak up to stop Leah, but her voice got caught in her throat.
She just stood there, helpless, as Leah turned around and walked away.
The moment Leah turned around, her tears could no longer be held back.
She wiped her tears away and took a deep breath.
She held no grudges against anyone.
Leah walked out of the villa’s gate and towards Ron’s car.
“Screech!”
However, at this time, a black Bugatti came to a screeching halt in front of her.
Chapter 84
Leah saw a familiar car and wanted to run. However, the car stopped before she could do anything. The car door opened in front of her. Han walked out of the car with a gloomy face.
He was wearing a black suit. After he got out of the car, he loosened his tie impatiently and stared at Leah.
It froze Leah in her tracks. Han approached her with a sarcastic grin. He stood in front of her and said, “Trying to escape?”
Leah’s face went pale in an instant. Knowing Han’s attitude, she knew how difficult it would be to escape him again next time if she got caught today.
Leah looked at Ron’s car nearby. His car wasn’t parked in front of the White residence’s entrance but at a faraway place.
Meanwhile, Ron was sitting in the car, oblivious to what was happening at the moment.
“Ron, save me!” Leah shouted.
Han was disappointed, He said, “I thought you finally have some courage. Turns out you were just trying to escape with a man, “Han looked at her and spoke with disgust, “You even know how to seduce another man now.”
Still looking pale, Leah started backing away from Han.
Then, Ron walked out of the car. When he saw how Leah was backed into a corner by Han, he shook his head. He walked over and said, “I was wondering what happened here.”
Leah saw Ron and immediately signaled him for help with her eyes. Ron approached her, took her hand and tried to leave without saying a word. However, her other hand was still being held by Han.
Leah was sandwiched between the two men. She looked at them with a troubled face.
“Let go,” Han ordered Ron coldly.
Ron grinned and said, “Why should I? Mr. Howard. Shouldn’t you ask her whom she wants to leave with?”
Han became gloomy since no one in the world dared to retort against him. As he was trying to say something, a few motorbikes were heard roaring outside the alley.
Soon, three motorbikes and a van stopped outside the alley. More than 20 people got out of the van. The leader was a guy with black-framed glasses and blue hair. The rest of them were dressed like punks. All of them were staring at Ron with ill intentions.
“Bah!” The blue-haired man spoke angrily, “Ron, I’ve been looking for you for half a month. You’ve finally shown yourself. I won’t let you get away this time!”
Leah saw Ron frowning. She was close to him so she could clearly hear him scolding something vulgar.
“Who are they?” Leah was on alert and asked Ron.
Ron shot a glance at her and seemed to be helpless, “Didn’t I tell you before? My enemies. I wonder how they found me here.”
“What should we do then?” Leah asked nervously.
“What else can we do? Fight them.” Ron clenched his fists and had a stern look.
“Hehe… Fight us? Ron, you might be strong but there are so many of us. How many of us do you think you can defeat?” The blue-haired man laughed.
He waved his hands and said, “Beat him up! Don’t let any one of them escape today!”
Han frowned slightly. He let go of Leah’s hand and said in a low voice, “Go and wait for me in the car.”
“But… Han. Ron. You two…” Leah was hesitating and would not leave.
A man blocked her path. Han stared at him and kicked him. He frowned and said, “Go.”
Leah was reluctant as she took one quick look at Han and Ron. Finally, she listened to Han and hid inside the car. Even if she was in the car, she could still hear them fighting outside. Every sound was like a hammer pounding at her heart.
After some time, Leah finally felt the noise outside getting softer. She hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car. Leah covered her mouth and started to tremble when she saw Han and Ron lying in a pool of blood in front of her. Both of them were heavily injured and looked like they are dying.
Leah rushed over, “Are you two all right?”
Han slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. He saw Leah and said, “Call an ambulance.”
Leah took out the phone and made the call while her hand was still shaking. She was so nervous that she didn’t notice someone standing up and approaching her.
“Look out!” Ron was heard shouting anxiously. The next second, Han pulled her into his arms.
When she looked again, she saw Ron knocking out the man who wanted to attack her with a steel rod.
Leah breathed a sigh of relief. Han was holding her hand, but he suddenly let go and fainted. He used too much energy because of his actions just now.
The ambulance arrived soon, and both of them were sent to the emergency room.
Leah was sitting outside the emergency room waiting nervously. She looked miserable with her hair down.
Then, someone walked in wearing high-heeled shoes. Leah saw the legs of a woman in front of her and raised her head to see who it was.
“Slap!”
Molly slapped her face so hard that Leah’s cheeks became swollen.
“You’re a curse!” Molly stared at her fiercely and said, “I knew it! If it weren’t for you, Han wouldn’t be lying in the emergency room right now!”
Leah was stunned for some time before she snapped out of confusion, “It wasn’t me”
“If it wasn’t you, who was it then? Vixen! I told you to stay away from him! Weren’t you faking your death? Why did you come back?” Molly looked at her with hatred, “If something happens to Han, I’ll crush your bones!”
Soon after, the emergency room door opened. The doctor and nurses pushed Han and Ron out of the room. Leah wanted to get close, but Molly shoved her away. Molly followed Han into the VIP ward. Leah sighed and went into Ron’s ward.
Inside the ward, Leah asked the doctor, “How is he?”
“He’s fine. He only has some minor wounds that need to be treated.” The doctor left after answering her question.
“What about the other person?”
The doctor realized that she was asking about Han. Although he was confused, he still answered honestly, “He is in a bad condition. He suffered major blows to various parts of his head and neck…”
Chapter 85
Leah had an awful look on her face. She couldn’t even stand straight after hearing what the doctor said. She remembered Han could still walk back then. However, he chose to stay back and deal with the gangsters.
Although she didn’t want to overthink it, she still felt guilty about Han being seriously injured.
Leah sat beside Ron’s bed and seemed to be absent-minded.
Some time had passed, Ron moaned and started to regain consciousness. He turned his head and saw Leah spacing out.
“Leah.” Ron called out to her and asked, “Are we in the hospital?”
Leah snapped out of her daze and nodded. She poured him a glass of water and helped him raise his bed. She asked, “Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
“I’m fine. I’m already used to fighting.” Ron drank the whole glass of water and asked Leah, “What about that guy, Howard?”
Leah didn’t answer. Ron might look like a carefree person, but he was very sensitive. He knew what had happened. He sighed and prepared to get down from his bed.
Leah asked immediately, “Where are you going?”
“The ward beside. Don’t you want to see that guy? I’ll take you there.” Ron pulled Leah’s hand and took her out of the ward.
Leah refused, “No, Ron. I don’t think he wants to see me.”
“How do you know if you won’t go there? Besides, there’s no worry. Just follow me” Ron insisted.
Leah agreed and followed him.
Both of them arrived in front of Han’s ward. The corridor was quiet. Leah stood on his toes to look inside the glass window. She saw Han lying on his bed inside the empty ward. Ron opened the door and pushed Leah inside with a smile on his face.
“Go on,” Ron said.
Leah nodded and said, “I’ll only take a look. If he’s fine, I’ll leave”
Ron smirked and crossed his arms while lying beside the door without care, “Why are you telling me that? You can stay inside for as long as you want.”
As he watched Leah walking toward Han, his heart felt empty for some reason.
Leah walked to Han’s bed and looked at him. Han’s face was pale. He had many injuries on his face while his body was connected to various tubes. His condition looked really bad.
She sighed. Although she was the reason why he ended up in this condition, she realized there weren’t any feelings she had for him except for guilt.
“Han, I’m here to tell you something.” Leah looked at his face. She knew he couldn’t hear her, but she still wanted to say her goodbyes.
“My memory has returned. I remember everything before I was 12 years old, “Leah said calmly, “Regarding your father, it has nothing to do with me. It was Sasha. Charlie was afraid that you would trouble Sasha, so he came up with the idea to switch my life with Sasha’s.” Leah was calm when she spoke about it because she knew Han wouldn’t hear anything.
“I’m telling you right now to settle our grievances. Let’s wipe the slate clean. I’m going to live my own life in the future. Han, don’t find me and disturb my life if you feel guilty.”
Though Leah said that, she knew an arrogant person like Han would not have any sense of guilt. Perhaps the troubles she faced were nothing to Han. After all, Han never loved her, so why would he feel guilty?
Leah sighed and said, “I’m leaving this place. Han, goodbye.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the door. Suddenly, there was movement on the bed. Leah turned around in shock. She saw Han frowning with his hands clenched tightly.
The next second, he opened his eyes and looked directly at Leah.
For some reason, Leah suddenly felt nervous. She wondered if he heard everything she said just now. If he did, what would his reaction be?
“You… You are awake?” Leah stuttered.
Han stared at her for a long time with his cold eyes. It’s as if he had seen a stranger. Leah felt his stare, and a chill ran down her spine.
She stood still and didn’t know what to do. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Do you want a glass of water?”
Han finally spoke and replied to her, but he was speaking strangely, “Who are you?”
Leah was startled.
Has he forgotten who he is? Does Han have amnesia? Or is he just pretending?
“Don’t you know me?” Leah pointed to herself.
Han chuckled and asked her, “Do I need to know who you are?”
Leah’s heart sank. For some reason, she also breathed a sigh of relief, “Then, do you still remember who you are?” Leah asked him again.
Han looked at her like a retarded person. He paused and said, “Where is Leah?”
Leah…
He actually remembered the name Leah yet he forgot who she was. Leah suddenly remembered that she had a new face, and she was now Sarah White.
Perhaps this was better.
Leah said awkwardly, “In that case, I’ll be leaving. Take care and rest well.”
A high-pitched voice could be heard as she finished talking, “What are you two doing?”
Leah turned around and saw Molly pushing Ron away. She rushed inside the ward and pushed Leah to the ground, “Stay away from Han!” Molly said angrily.
Then, she turned around and looked at Han, “Han, are you all right?”
Leah fell to the ground and his hand started to bleed as she accidentally hit the corner of a piece of medical equipment.
Han glanced at her coldly without a hint of pity. He looked at Molly while feeling doubtful, “Why are you here?”
“Han… You… Don’t you remember?” Molly looked at Han carefully and asked him with slight hesitation.
Han rubbed between his eyebrows and said, “Perhaps, my head is a mess right now.”
Molly breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately, “Don’t you remember? We are engaged. I’m also pregnant with your child.”
Han was startled.
Am I engaged with Molly? What about Leah? Wasn’t I married to her?
Han felt a sharp pain in his head. He had a weird feeling when he saw Leah. He pointed to Leah and asked Molly, “What about her? Who is she?”
