Ch. 96..100: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 96-100

Chapter 96

Leah made it clear she would save Ian no matter what.

As much as he hated her when they were together, Han knew how stubborn she could be. She would do whatever it took once she set her mind on something.

Dealing with the gangsters was a piece of cake for Han. He even had the time to see Leah off after taking the gangsters down. She ran toward the warehouse determinedly.

He had wanted to alert her of the dangers she might encounter in the warehouse, but it seemed she had no need for his advice. She was smart enough to know what she was getting herself into.

Leah was different now. He felt like he was losing her. The thought made his stomach turn.

After turning right at the end of the alley, Leah arrived at an abandoned warehouse. It used to be a chemical plant, but it was shut down for violating the regulations.

The air was pungent with a chemical smell. She pushed the gate open. It was pitch dark inside the warehouse.

She did not find a restrained Ian in the warehouse. Instead, it was eerily quiet in there. The air was stifling with despair. She called out to Ian, “Are you here, Ian?”

Leah was clueless. Someone turned on the lights in the warehouse and she was blinded by the light momentarily. She turned around to find a familiar face.

“Sasha?” She couldn’t believe what she saw. Sasha closed the door behind her and she lifted a cruel smile. “It’s been a while, Sarah.”

“What are you doing here?” Leah asked, stupefied. She wasn’t expecting to find Sasha here. She continued cautiously, “Did you kidnap Ian?”

Charlie was not always in his right mind. Sasha might have inherited his craziness, so Leah was not surprised if Sasha had kidnapped Ian.

“Shut your mouth!” Sasha gave Leah a death stare. “You don’t deserve Ian! I could have been his wife, if you hadn’t stolen him away from me. You’ve destroyed my life!”

Leah frowned. “Let’s be clear. It was you who stole my life, Sasha.”

She could have lived the past ten years happily with her parents, if Charlie had not swapped her identity with Sasha. Leah and Han could have been happily married.

Unfortunately, Leah did not realize her true identity until it was too late. She had spent the past ten years living miserably because Sasha stole her identity and her life. It was only fair for Leah to find her happiness with Ian now.

However, Sasha refused to listen to Leah. She mumbled as she approached Leah with a dagger, “Once you’re gone, I could return to my life as Sasha White, and I could be with Ian again.”

Leah retreated. She was at a disadvantage here because Sasha was holding a dagger and she was empty-handed. She had to buy some time before she could find a way to escape.

She thought about Han briefly. He might help her if he was still nearby. However, she knew better than to rely on him. He most likely had left by now.

“You love Ian, don’t you?” Leah tried to remain calm as she said slowly. “How could you kidnap and hurt him if you love him so much?”

“All I want is for him to return to me,” said Sasha, sneering.

Leah felt something was wrong. Sasha had been missing for a while, and nobody including Ian could find her. Now she planned a kidnapping; it wasn’t something she could carry out by herself.

“Where have you been, Sasha? Mom is worried sick.” Leah tried to get information from Sasha.

“Is she?” Sasha was stunned. She hated Leah, but the White family had treated her well and she still cared for Mr. and Mrs. White.

Leah took the opportunity to run toward the exit. Someone spoke into Sasha’s earpiece, “Don’t let her get away this time!”

Sasha realized what Leah was trying to do, and she was furious. She caught up with Leah and she grabbed her hair, pulling her back to where they were standing.

Leah struggled to escape. Sasha pointed her dagger at Leah’s waist threateningly. “If you don’t want to die, stop moving.” Leah followed Sasha’s order obediently.

Sasha tied Leah to a chair. Leah was baffled by Sasha’s action. She thought Sasha wanted to kill her. As she was wondering why Sasha kept her alive, the door was pushed open and a man entered the warehouse.

It was Han. Leah was shocked. She thought he had left. Sasha snickered, “You’re finally here.”

Sasha lifted a triumphant smile. She never thought Han would fall into her trap.

Han saw Leah being tied to a chair and he sighed. “I told you so. This is a trap.” He was disappointed she disobeyed him, getting herself into trouble.

“Hello, Mr. Howard, I’m here,” Sasha was annoyed he deliberately ignored her. Han gave her an icy stare. “What do you want?”

“I have a business proposal for you, Mr. Howard,” Sasha smiled. Han waited for her to continue.

“I could spare her life if you give me something I want,” Sasha said. Han was amused. “What makes you think I care if she lives or dies?”

Sasha’s face fell. She stared at Han. “You have feelings for her, don’t you?” She had to be right. Han wouldn’t have taken all the trouble to get here if he didn’t have feelings for Leah.

“I have feelings for her?” Han’s eyes were without warmth. “Are you serious?” Everyone who knew the truth would know he hated Leah’s guts.

Sasha looked at him suspiciously and she took a deep breath. What should I do now?

Chapter 97

Han turned on his heels. Sasha looked at him walking away, appalled. She had to make him stay, or her plans would fail and she would be killed. She was at her wit’s end.

Once again, someone spoke into her earpiece, and her eyes widened. With new-found confidence, she said to Han, “Even if you have no feelings for this woman, you don’t want her dead body to be found here, do you?”

To her relief, Han stopped. He turned to scowl at Sasha. She continued, following the voice in her earpiece, “After all, you owe it to her for mistreating her all these years. It would also be a walk in the park for you to save her. So, why not?”

After a long pause, Han spoke. “Why should I save someone I don’t care about?” He sneered, “Nonetheless, you’ve got my attention. Tell me, what do you want?”

“I want an assignment of the contract you’ve signed with Jackson Lamere in Saint Ville,” replied Sasha, repeating after the man speaking into her earpiece.

Han gaped at her in astonishment. “Shawn Ford,” he said without a shadow of a doubt.

Leah did not know what the contract was about, but it must have been a big deal for Sasha to put herself into this much trouble. She could not help him while being tied to a chair, but she did not want to owe him anything. “Go away, Han. I don’t need you to save me.”

Han stared at Leah with mixed feelings. He realized how thin she was, and for a brief moment, he felt sorry for her. He thought about what Sasha said; he could not tell if the feeling he had for Leah was love or guilt.

He tightened his grip and decided he would never love this woman. He took a deep breath, “Let’s make it clear. I am only doing this for Mr. and Mrs. White, not for you.”

Leah was dumbstruck. She gaped at him as he took out his phone to make a call. “Please draft an assignment of contract to transfer the project we signed earlier to the Ford Group.”

Han gave his orders while glowering at Sasha. It was clear as day to him who was manipulating Sasha into this. It has to be Shawn.

On the other end, Shawn was monitoring them in the warehouse through a security camera. He looked at Leah on the screen intensely, feeling a rush of adrenaline. “Interesting,” he cackled.

He had been trying to one-up Han for the past ten years they had known each other to no avail. Han was impeccable. Shawn couldn’t find his Achilles’ heel until now. It was a gamble of luck to kidnap Leah; Shawn was thrilled to see this had successfully gotten to Han.

After he got off the call with Han, Ben was puzzled by the request to transfer the contract, but he did as told nonetheless. Half an hour later, he called Han, “Mr. Howard, it’s done.”

Shawn saw an incoming call from Ben and he knew his plan worked. He spoke into the earpiece excitedly, “We’ve done it!” Sasha was overjoyed. Shawn continued, “You’ve done well. You’ll be rewarded when you return.”

Sasha had no idea about the reward, but she was on cloud nine nevertheless. She could not believe it; she had won in a confrontation with Han.

On the other hand, Leah was uneasy. Han had given away the deal he worked so hard on to someone else to save her. She knew he poured his blood, sweat and tears into this project. She also knew she shouldn’t feel bad, he already said he did not do this for her.

“Can you let her go now?” Han glared at Sasha. Sasha scowled at Leah and she grumbled, “Of course, you may now bring her out of here.”

Sasha was baffled by the fact everyone liked Leah. Even Han, who hated Leah’s guts, would agree to a tall order to save Leah. Sasha untied Leah before she shoved her toward Han.

Leah staggered and fell into Han’s arms. She quickly regained her balance. She smoothed her hair while apologizing, “I’m sorry.”

“You are so stupid, Leah,” Han said harshly. She was startled to hear him scolding her. She glanced up at him. He stared at her innocent eyes and his heart skipped a beat.

“Only you would fall into such a stupid trap,” said Han dryly before turning to leave. “Let’s go. Next time…” He didn’t manage to finish his sentence.

He could not believe what happened. Furious, he pushed Leah away. He put his hand over the wound on his waist. The blood drained from his face as he felt excruciating pain.

Sasha cackled behind him. Leah’s voice quavered as she apologized repeatedly to him, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…” Han tried to steady himself as dizziness began to set in.

He looked at the stab wound on his waist and he turned to look at Leah, outraged. “What have you done, Leah?” He saved her and she stabbed him with a dagger.

“I’m sorry, but I had to do this,” Leah tried to remain calm, but she was collapsing on the inside. “Sasha would only tell me where Ian is if I stab you. Don’t worry though, this shouldn’t be fatal.”

Han chuckled. Now he knew why Leah and he could never be friends or lovers. She never once stood up against him when he treated her poorly in the past. Yet the one time he tried to do something nice for her, she stabbed him in the back, literally.

He wobbled toward her. He wanted to yell at her, but he was in too much pain. He commanded her through gritted teeth, “Get out.”

Leah was shaking like a leaf. Sasha cracked up with tears of laughter. “Oh my god, I didn’t think you’d do it. You’ve stabbed Han to save Ian!”

“Everyone says you love Han to bits, but look at you now. You’ve stabbed the man you love in the back. Do you really love him?” Sasha shook with laughter.

Chapter 98

Leah pursed her lips and let go of the knife. Her hands trembled. She did not dare to look at Leah. Instead, she asked Sasha, “I did as you told. You should tell me where Ian is.”

“Ian? Hahahaha, isn’t he at the company? Sarah White, you stupid woman!” Sasha laughed loudly. She had obviously gone mad.

“Leave the warehouse first,” Shawn’s calm command was heard through the headphones.

A black car stopped at the door of the warehouse. Sasha laughed and entered the car, her wild laughter echoing behind her. She did not look like she was lying. After Sasha left, Leah looked at Han, who was bent over and supporting his body with the wall while panting heavily.

She hesitated for a split second before calling an ambulance. However, his abdomen was bleeding too much. If he kept bleeding, he would go into shock.

Leah’s face was drained of its color. She did not expect that even though she avoided hurting his vitals, she still caused him so much pain. She hesitated and wanted to walk over. However, when she stepped forward, Han suddenly raised his head. His eyes were full of hatred.

He gritted his teeth and said plainly, “Get lost.”

“Let me bandage you up,” Leah approached him stubbornly. If it were before, she would not be able to get close to Han if he shoved her away. However, he was extremely weak now. He could barely hold himself together to speak a sentence, let alone shove her away. Han could no longer hold on and fell against the wall.

Leah was trained in basic first aid. With trembling hands, she took off Han’s coat. The first thing she noticed was his wound that oozed with blood.

Leah’s eyes were misty as she apologized, “Han, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…”

He was barely conscious. His ears echoed with her cries and apologies.

He thought it was funny. In the past, he wanted that woman to suffer, so he tormented her in different ways. That did not stop her though. He could have ignored her and watched her embarrass herself, but he did not know he came to rescue her. Perhaps, he had lost his mind.

“Why are you crying? It’s not like you’re hurt.” Han took a deep breath and said mockingly, “You are a hypocritical woman. You obviously hate me to death, so why don’t you just stab me in the heart?”

“Stop talking. The ambulance will be here soon,” Leah said hoarsely.

“Why? Are my words hurting you?” Han’s vision was failing. He held on hard and mocked her, “For the sake of Ian, I can’t believe you made it this far.”

So, she is willing to do anything for the person she likes. I see, so the person she loves is Ian, Han thought. The past three years of their marriage flashed past his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

Leah’s hands trembled. When she raised her gaze and bit her lip to look at Han, she found that he was already unconscious. His breathing was shallow.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and the paramedics carried Han into the ambulance. Leah gave them Molly’s phone number and left walking away wobbling. She returned to the White family with her body covered in blood.

Jane was shocked by her appearance. While looking at the blood on Leah’s hands, she asked worriedly, “What happened, Sarah? Whose blood is that?”

“Mom.” Leah came to her senses. She hugged Jane suddenly and cried silently. Her shoulders were trembling as she sobbed like a wounded animal. No one knew how frightened she was when she pierced the knife into Han’s body.

Although Jane did not know what happened, noticing Leah being so scared and sad, she silently patted her back and reassured her, “It’s all right. No matter what happens, I have your back.”

As Jane spoke these words, her eyes shone with determination.

Leah was really exhausted today. After returning home and making sure that Ian was fine, she took a shower, lay on her bed, and fell into a deep sleep. However, Jane could not sleep at all. She looked at her daughter, who was lying in bed, with an uneasy expression. She clenched her hands tightly.

She took a deep breath, stood up, went into the study, and picked up a book from the shelf. Flipping through the pages, she took an old, tattered photograph from it. Three people were in the photo.

Jane’s eyes welled up with tears. She flipped over the photo and stared at the phone numbers written behind the photograph.

She took a deep breath, took out her cell phone, mustered her courage, and finally dialed the number.

“Beep beep….” The phone rang for a long time. Every second was a torment to her.

After some time, someone finally picked up the call. A slightly aged voice was heard from the other end of the phone, “Hello?”

When Han woke up on the hospital bed, it was already night. Other than the ticking sound of the medical device beside him, his surroundings were extremely quiet.

Han sat up. When he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his face turned pale. As he moved his body, a person standing outside the door was alarmed.

The door opened, and a woman walked in while crying. “Han, you finally woke up. You’ve scared me to death.”

Han raised his head and saw Molly wailing. Several people came in after her. He scanned through them and his gaze became gloomier.

Leah isn’t here.

“Who brought me to the hospital?” Han asked Molly.

Molly was stunned by his question and wondered if it was important. She honestly replied, “No one brought you here. Someone called the ambulance, gave them my number, and left.”

Suddenly, Molly paused. She clenched her hands angrily and questioned, “Han, who did this to you? Tell me and I’ll definitely kill her!”

Hearing her words, Han subconsciously thought of Leah. He shook his head calmly.

“Han?” Molly was puzzled.

Han said emotionlessly, “I don’t know.”

“Then why did you…” How did you become so seriously injured?

Before she could finish her sentence, Han threw a cold glance at her and asked, “Is it any of your business?”

Molly was stunned and muttered instinctively, “I really care for you, Han.”

“I’ll figure it out myself,” Han closed his eyes and said. “From now on, I don’t need you to intervene in all my matters.”

 

Chapter 99

Meeting Han’s cold gaze, Molly was stunned for a long time. She opened her lips but did not know what to say. It was the first time Han spoke to her with such a serious tone.

“Han, what’s wrong with you?” Molly mumbled.

Han, upon noticing her shocked expression, halted. He did not know what was wrong with him. Since he met Leah again, he had become somewhat unlike himself.

While he was in deep thought, someone knocked on the door suddenly. The two turned their heads together and saw Jackson smiling at the door. His gaze met Han’s as he said, “You’re awake.”

He walked over and glanced at his daughter. “If you don’t wake up, Molly will be worried to death.”

“Dad, what are you saying!” Molly blushed at his comments and glanced at Jackson shyly.

Jackson patted his daughter’s hand and continued, “Your mom is waiting for you outside. Go and find her.”

Hearing that, Molly halted. She looked hesitantly at Han but did not leave. She could tell that Jackson wanted to have a private talk with Han.

Of course, Han also knew it. He nodded solemnly to Molly.

“I’ll be right back, Dad. Don’t bully Han while I’m gone, okay?” Molly said. Jackson laughed and did not reply.

After Molly left, he walked up to the bed and took some documents from a bag with a smile on his face. The next second, he changed his expression and threw them all onto Han.

“How dare you?” There was a hint of anger behind his voice.

Ham was expressionless. Though feeling angry, he did not say anything and silently picked up the documents. He had already expected the purpose of Jackson’s visit.

Glaring at Han, who did not explain himself, made Jackson become angrier. He lowered his voice and asked, “Tell me, Han. Why did you transfer the agreement to Shawn?”

Han paused and raised his head slowly. “There’s no special reason behind it. He wanted it, so I gave it to him.”

“This is ridiculous!”Jackson pointed at his nose fiercely as though he wanted to eat him alive. “I’m helping you out only because of my daughter. Otherwise, who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to transfer the agreement to Shawn?”

“The transfer is done. There’s no point in saying anything,” Han replied impassively. In any case, the agreement did very little to stop him from crushing Shawn. He did not take Shawn as his opponent seriously.

Han did not even remember that to obtain the developmental rights, he played along with Molly.

“I believe there must be a reason behind this.” After calming himself down, looked at Han suspiciously and asked, “What the hell is going on?”

His intuition told him that the reason Han would suddenly transfer the developmental rights to Shawn would be related to Han’s injury.

Han stared back at him nonchalantly. His gaze sent a chill down Jackson’s spine, which also reminded the latter of the first time they met.

At that time, Jackson was already a big shot in Linkville. Han, on the other hand, was merely a businessman. The difference in status between the two was vast.

However, when they exchanged glances, Han did not seem impressed. In fact, there was even a hint of pride in his expression. At first glance, Jackson admired the man in front of him. From his eyes, he saw the same ambition as himself.

Jackson was disappointed that Han gave up the developmental rights.

Whatever reason it was, he could not be forgiven.

“I’ll take care of this matter myself, “Han said after a short silence.

Jackson’s thoughts were pulled back by his icy words. He sneered, a stark contrast from his gentle expression when he talked to Molly earlier.

“No matter what you do, you can’t hurt Molly,” Jackson said coldly. “You should know that I can give you everything, and I can make you lose everything.”

Han’s expression darkened when he heard that.

Two days later, Jane knocked on the door of Leah’s room. Leah has not been out much for these two days. She did not know how to do business or manage a company. Ian was handling the mess of the White family while she was thinking about other things.

“Sarah, are you awake?”Jane asked softly.

Putting away the stack of paper on the table, Leah opened the door and asked back, “What’s the matter, Mom?”

Jane looked at her and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Han has been hospitalized for two days. I plan to go to the hospital to visit him. Do you want to go along?”

Leah paused. She remembered his incredulous look when she plunged the dagger into his body. An awkward feeling rose in her heart. She replied, “I won’t go. You can go visit him on your own.”

After hearing her reply, Jane nodded her head. “Alright.”

After she left, Leah took out the stack of paper again. On every piece of paper, there were similar jewelry designs sketched on them. After comparing the designs, she finally picked one design that she was most satisfied with.

This is it, she thought. Leah brought a transparent folder, carefully put the piece of paper into it, and left the room with the folder.

Leah arrived at the company building by taxi. She raised her head and looked at the newly-opened company with hesitation. A moment later, she mustered her courage and strode into the company.

Although the company was small, it was elegantly decorated, showing its owner’s remarkable taste in design. At the front desk, there was only a young woman eating a popsicle while reading a magazine.

“Hello, I’m the person who made an appointment with Mr. Xavier last night. I’m Sarah White.” Leah said politely.

The girl lifted her head, glanced at Leah, and smiled brightly. “You’re beautiful.”

Leah, stunned by her sudden compliment, replied, “Thank you.”

The young woman put the magazine away, held her chin up, and said, “Our boss is in a meeting. Please wait for a while.”

“Sure, no problem.” Leah shook her head and accidentally noticed the magazine in the receptionist’s hand.

It was a very well-known international magazine about jewelry design. The current page was page 14, where a pair of bracelets was printed on the entire page. The name of the bracelet was “Radiant Star”. The two bracelets were engraved with complicated antique designs and were eye-catching.

Noticing Leah’s gaze was fixed on the magazine, the girl smiled and asked, “Do you like this too? I heard that the designer is only twenty years old.”

 

Chapter 100

Leah’s eyelids fluttered. Looking at the receptionist’s eager expression, she nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed beautiful.”

“Unfortunately, the designer didn’t want to reveal their identity. Everyone only knows that such a work exists, but no one knows who the designer is. I heard many people talking about it. Too bad, if only our company had such a talented designer.” The young woman chirped.

Leah pursed her lips and nodded silently. The young woman did not take note of it and thought that she was an introvert. After chatting for a while more, Leah stopped talking.

In the lobby, Leah sat on the sofa, waiting patiently for Christopher. After a short while, the receptionist suddenly raised her head and exclaimed, “Mr. Xavier is here!”

When Leah raised her head upon hearing her words, she saw the elevator door open. A tall and skinny man in a white suit came out of the elevator. As soon as he exited the elevator, his eyes scanned around the lobby and finally focused on Leah.

Christopher walked toward Leah and nodded his head as he shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Ms. White. I’m Christopher Xavier.”

“Nice to meet you too, I’m Sarah White,” Leah greeted him with a smile.

Christopher then went on to apologize. “I’m sorry, I was delayed for some time because of something else. Can I offer you a drink as an apology?”

Leah paused. She could tell that Christopher wanted to have a private chat with her in the café. She nodded. “Okay.”

The two then went to a café and found a quiet spot. Christopher ordered two cups of coffee. After taking her seat, Leah took out the design she had already prepared from the bag and placed it in front

of Christopher.

Christopher did not waste any time on the formalities. He picked up the design and scanned it twice. His eyes were instantly filled with joy.

“This design is great! Ms. White, did you really design this by yourself?” Christopher looked at her in admiration.

The woman in front of him looked like she was only in her early twenties. How could someone so young create such a great design?

The design was sketched with a pencil. Yet, in both design and general aspects, it was mysterious and eye-catching.

Leah chuckled at his compliment. After a while, she asked, “So am I good enough to collaborate with you?”

“The design is perfect,” Christopher said while carefully stashing the design away. “It will be my honor to work with a genius such as you, Ms. White.”

Leah smiled. The two of them had reached an agreement.

“By the way, Ms. White, do you know the reason I delayed today’s appointment?” Christopher blinked cunningly.

Leah shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

“I got a call this morning from Mr. Crawford from Malarnor,” Christopher sipped his coffee and smiled. As expected, Leah’s expression changed.

Ryan Crawford was a name that was no stranger to the people in the industry. He was a well-known jewelry investor rumored to only invest in jewelry that suited his tastes, regardless of the designer’s reputation. Many jewelry designers who were new to the jewelry design firm were trying to win his favor. If they managed to gain his recognition, their status in the industry would be secure.

Of course, Ryan was very wealthy too. If he had his eyes on a designer, he would spare no expense to help them bring their designs to life.

“When I was studying in Malarnor, I gained Mr. Ryan’s recognition and received help from him. However, I was immature at that time that I gave up pursuing jewelry design. I’ve maintained a good relationship with Mr. Crawford,” Christopher explained to her with a smile.

Leah nodded, holding the coffee cup in her hands, her palms were slightly sweaty. If only I can also get Mr. Crawford’s recognition…

“Mr. Xavier, I…” Leah gathered her courage to ask.

Christopher interrupted her with a smile. “This Saturday, at 10 am, Mr. Ryan will arrive at Linkville Airport. I’ll pick you up.”

Upon hearing his words, Leah was surprised. She thanked Christopher.

“You don’t have to thank me. Thank yourself for your capabilities,” Christopher said with a smile. “After all, you seized the opportunity yourself.”

Coming out of the café, Christopher and Leah parted ways. Leah walked to the side of the road and wanted to raise her hand to stop a taxi. When she turned around, she noticed that she was opposite Linkville’s best hospital. When Leah came to her senses, she was already standing in front of it. She looked at the people going in and out and sighed.

Forget it, let’s just visit Han for a bit. After all, I stabbed him. I should at least make sure that Han is all right.

Leah walked into the hospital. She ran into Jane, who was also on her way to visit Han.

She followed Jane to the VIP ward on the 15th floor. She waited outside the ward for a while. At noon, Jane finally left.

It was already lunchtime, and there were fewer people in the hospital. Leah reached the door of the ward where Han stayed. There was a transparent glass window on the door of the ward, through which Leah could see Han inside. He was sitting on the hospital bed wearing a blue and white patient’s uniform staring blankly at the window. He looked pale and weak.

Leah breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved to see that he had woken up. She shifted her body and decided to leave. However, at this time, Han retracted his gaze, turned his head, and looked at Leah from the door window. Their gazes met for three seconds.

Leah, after realizing it, subconsciously trembled. She turned her body and wanted to run away.

“Stop right there!”A man’s voice resounded, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps.

Leah, without having the chance to flee, was grabbed her arms from behind by Han.

“Han, let me go,” Leah struggled.

Although there were not many people in the corridor, Han’s presence was too strong that the nurses around turned around their heads to look at him. Han frowned slightly. Without saying anything, he pulled Leah into his ward. Leah’s strength was nothing compared to his. She could not release herself from his grasp and followed him along into the ward. She closed the door behind her.

In the ward, Han stared at her impassively. “What are you doing here?”

Leah stared back at him. “Just to see you.”

“To see if I’m dead?” Han’s lips curved into a mocking smile as he sneered. “You should be disappointed that I’m still alive
