Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 206-210
Chapter 206
Following Mrs. Sanders’ fainting, the entire banquet hall descended into chaos.
“Mrs. Sanders!”
“Quick! Call for an ambulance!”
Everyone’s ears were filled with the scurry of panic. They never expected the birthday celebrant to pass out from rage at her own birthday banquet.
Mrs. Sanders was lifted into Ian’s arms because he was the closest to her. He had a heavy self- reproach on his face for making her faint.
He initially believed that if he told Mrs. Sanders about this in private, she would undoubtedly object, so he decided to make the announcement public in order to force Mis. Sanders to compromise.
However, he didn’t anticipate that she would faint out of rage.
Leah was concerned when she saw Mis. Sanders had fainted. She had been treated nicely by Mis. Sanders, after all. Mrs. Sanders also had a good relationship with her mother, so she didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Leah became a bundle of nerves when Mrs. Sanders passed out and declared she wanted to go to the stage.
Even though Ron had a deep-seated hatred for Mis. Sanders, he was forced to follow Leah when he realized she had left.
“Stop exactly where you are.” They were unexpectedly stopped before they got close to Mrs. Sanders, and the person who had stopped them was Molly, who was standing closest to the two of them.
Molly regarded Leah with contempt. Then she sneered coldly, saying. “There’s already a lot of chaos over there. Why? Do you still want to go over there and contribute to the mayhem?”
Leah’s brows furrowed, and her eyes betrayed her displeasure. “Get out of the way. The Sanders family’s affair is none of your concern,” she said, her voice cold.
A look of irritation crossed Molly’s face as soon as she heard that. She hadn’t expected Leah to be yelling at her right now, especially since Leah was the one who had to kneel to her two years ago!
“Mrs. Sanders also happens to be my aunt. You’ve all already made her faint. Naturally, I can’t let you hurt her again, especially since you’re standing right next to him! He’s a bad omen!” Molly reprimanded, pointing contemptuously at Ron.
In an instant, Ron’s face darkened. He was not the type of gentleman who would show women kindness and care.
Please excuse me, but could you repeat what you just said? Ron locked liis gaze on Molly, liis eyes cold.
The look in liis eyes startled Molly.
While wondering from which toxic waste dump she had emerged. Ron stared at her dead in the eyes.
Molly took two steps back and felt a little more at ease when she caught a glimpse of Han behind her out of the comer of her eye.
She assured herself that everything would be okay because Han was still there.
“You two are just bad omens. Hurry up and scram!” Molly mustered the courage to chastise them.
Leah’s face immediately sank.
Usually, no matter how much Molly barked, she pretended not to hear her. After all. she didn’t want to argue with her.
However, Molly had blocked her path today, so she couldn’t just do nothing.
“Get out of the way,” Leah said, reaching out her hand and yanking Molly aside. She had obstructed her path, so the only tiling she could do was pull her out of the way.
Who would have guessed that Molly, a lady from a great family and the daughter of the tax department’s head, would actually act hysterically? She clung to Leah’s waist and refused to let her pass.
Ron frowned as he noticed this. He wanted to step forward and separate them.
However, the moment he touched Molly, she screamed and yelled. “Han. the two of them are going to hit me!”
She was behaving exactly like a harridan shouting abuse.
Ron was very strong, and he quickly separated the two. He gave her a look that told her to go see Mrs. Sanders first and not worry about the rest of it.
Someone unexpectedly shoved Leah as soon as she turned around.
Leah couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She was staling at Han. who had appeared out of nowhere in front of her. His hand remained outstretched as he pushed her back by her shoulder.
It was meant to be a light push, but Leah was wearing high heels at the time, and she had just managed to escape Molly’s clutches with great difficulty, so her footing was a little unsteady. That being the case. Han’s single push had the effect of tossing a large rock into the still water, making a big splash.
“All!” Leah cried inadvertently.
Han hesitated a little bit as his eyes nano wed before he reached out a hand to pull her back!
Nobody could guess what was going through liis mind, though, because he suddenly showed restraint with his extended hand.
Leah’s foot twisted, and she fell hard to the side.
Next to her was a table with glasses of red wine for the guests’ consumption. The table was knocked over when Leah fell and hit it.
“Crash—” The floor was covered in spilled red wine. Leah’s head knocked on the table’s comer, and blood immediately poured out.
Leah’s entire body was covered in blood and red wine. She looked intently at Han before cracking a smile. Then her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
“Leah!” Ron called out anxiously and rushed forward to take Leah in liis amis.
The banquet was thrown into complete disarray after Leah passed out!
Ian also noticed the commotion on Leah’s side, but he didn’t have time to care for her right now. Ian had no choice but to cany Mis. Sanders into the ambulance since it had already arrived.
“Han Howard, you sure did have the balls!” Taking Leah firmly in liis amis, Ron yelled angrily at Han.
He would have punched him by now if it hadn’t been for Leah.
Having finished his speech. Ron carried Leah out of the banquet hall.
Han pursed his lips, and his eyes darkened.
“Pay him no mind!” Molly said, smiling as she held Han’s ami.
She hadn’t expected Han to shove Leah for her. It appeared that Han no longer gave a damn about that woman!
Han abruptly stood up and headed outside.
Molly hurried after him and asked, “Han. now that the banquet is over, where do you want to go?”
“Hospital,” Han replied, liis face expressionless.
Molly’s heart sank. Her brow furrowed slightly as she took liis hand in hers and asked. “Why are you going to the hospital? Are you going there to see that woman?”
Han’s eyes briefly flashed with repulsion.
However, it was only for a fraction of a second. He was very good at concealing the emotion in liis eyes.
Han said without showing any emotion, “No, I’m going to see Mis. Sanders.
“Are you really going there to see Mis. Sanders?” Molly asked, frowning, hoping for reassurance.
Han was gradually losing his patience. His eyes grew slightly darker, and he managed to wriggle free from Molly’s grip before muttering, “Yes.”
Molly sensed his impatience and realized that if she kept asking, he might develop an aversion to her, so she bit her lip and said tentatively, “Han, I’ll go with you.”
“It’s up to you.” Han left the banquet hall after completing liis speech.
Ron was rushing to the hospital with Leah in liis amis when he ran into Ian.
Mis. Sanders and Leah were both taken to the emergency room at the same time. Outside. Ron and Ian exchanged glances, and the air fell silent for a while.
On the side, Sasha was sobbing quietly.
Chapter 207
The sound of Sasha crying was as soft as a mosquito buzzing. She appeared to be extremely upset.
“Stop crying.”
Ron shot a cold stare at her. looking as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
He was, after all, the leader of a gang. Sasha was instantly silenced by the murderous aura emanating from liis body.
She drew closer to Ian in fear, glanced cautiously at Ron. and whispered, “It’s all your fault. Your mother would not have fainted if it hadn’t been for you…”
Again glaring at Sasha, Ron sneered, “I don’t lay hands on women, but that doesn’t mean I’ll put up with you.”
Sasha’s face blanched instantly, and she dared not speak again.
Ian sighed, looking at Ron apologetically, saying. “I’m sorry, Ron. You had absolutely nothing to do with this. I did this entirely on my own.”
“I’m not the one to apologize to.” Ron rolled his eyes, not looking at Ian. and added. “You made these two announcements in public. Sarah, not I, was the one who was humiliated. She is also the one who was pushed into the eye of the storm, not me.”
Ian’s face gradually turned pale. His lips quivered, and he seemed to have more to say, but in the end. he only let out a sigh.
Ron said without showing any emotion, “I don’t care about your crappy company, either. Take back your equity transfer agreement.”
Initially mired in self-recrimination, Ian was somewhat obstinate and firm in liis decision on this matter. “I won’t ever take back what I said,” he sternly proclaimed as he shook liis head.
“In that case, please give Sarah my shares. It makes no difference to me,” sneered Ron. liis eyes narrowing with a glint of disdain in them.
Wlien Ian heard that, he was momentarily taken aback. Then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Is Ron and Sarah’s relationship already that steady?
The reality was that he was the one who had pushed her right into Ron’s arms. He had wanted Ron to look after Sarah, but why couldn’t he stop feeling jealous?
At this point, footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor.
Several people turned to look, and they were surprised to see Han and Molly.
Ron’s rage surged as soon as he saw Han. He took a step forward and grabbed the front of Han’s shirt, rebuking, “You still have the face to show up? Would Sarah be in there if it hadn’t been for you?!”
Han pursed his lips, and the indifference in his eyes vanished in an instant.
After a while, he shook off Ron’s grip and said coldly. “You have no right to talk to me.”
Ron really wanted to punch Han and rip that haughty face off!
Leah, who had a pale face, was pushed outside by the medical staff as the emergency room’s door finally opened at this precise moment.
“Ron. stop,” Leah said weakly as she noticed Ron stal ing at Han with his teeth clenched, looking as if he was about to swallow him.
“This is a hospital. Don’t stir up trouble.”
Ron continued to give off a manic vibe, and liis body language remained aggressive.
However, when he heard Leah’s words, he appeared to be instantly discouraged. He dashed over to Leah’s side. Ron felt as if a large stone was pressed against his chest when he saw her lying on the hospital bed, all weak and pale.
“Are you alright? Do you experience discomfort elsewhere?” Ron inquired of Leah, concerned.
Leah shook her head.
Because of Ron’s good looks, the nurse who was pushing her couldn’t help but speak to him shyly, “Don’t worry. She’s all right.
All she needs is some rest, and she’ll be fine.”
Ron exhaled a sigh of relief when he heard that. Then, taking over from the nurse, he pushed Leah’s hospital bed. saying, “That’s good to hear. I’ll push her. Can you tell me where her ward is?”
The nurse pointed him to a ward with enthusiasm.
The two ambled from the emergency room door to the ward, pushing the hospital bed.
The hospital bed moved past Ian.
“Sarah…” said Ian. His words froze on liis lips as he looked at Leah.
“I’m fine,” Leah said, turning her head and smiling weakly at him. “You go see Mrs. Sanders first.”
Ian felt a tug at liis heart.
Even though Leah still smiled at him and spoke in the same gentle tones as before, he could see the nonchalance and estrangement in her eyes.
Wlien she looked at him in the past, he could tell that he was her entire world in her eyes.
He was no longer a part of her world.
In any case, Ron was the only person who could accompany her even if she were lying in a hospital bed.
Leah’s hospital bed advanced a short distance and passed by Han.
Han pursed his lips, shuffled a little, then moved closer to her.
He’d only taken one step when he suddenly remembered that Molly was beside him. He had to force himself not to take another step forward.
Leah’s face remained impassive.
She didn’t even turn her head or glance at Han as she passed by.
She acted as if he didn’t exist.
Han became aware of that, his hands clenching a little as a slight stuffiness crept into his chest.
The doctor pushed Mis. Sanders out shortly after Ron pushed Leah into the ward.
“Mom!” Ian rushed up to her and took her hand.
Mis. Sanders glared at him. Wlien she looked up and saw how many people were around her, she swallowed the words she was about to reprimand Ian!
“Bring me to the ward!” Mrs. Sanders huffed and panted.
Ian smiled awkwardly and pushed Mis. Sanders into the ward. Sasha and the others were quick to follow.
Mis. Sanders’ face was crimson with rage in the ward. She gave Ian the death stare.
Wlien Ian saw Sasha, Molly, and the others who had anxiously followed him, he let out a sigh before saying, “Can you all please wait for me outside? I want to have a few private words with my mother.”
“Yes, of course,” Molly said, smiling.
Ian sighed and sat beside Mi s. Sanders after the three of them had left the ward.
“You ingrate! I’ll refuse treatment if you don’t heed my words and revoke the equity transfer agreement! Mrs. Sanders spoke in the pauses between her breaths.
“I don’t want to hand over the Sanders family’s assets to that woman’s son!” she said, her eyes brimming with hatred.
“Ron is not that kind of person. Mom. He already told me he wants to give Sarah liis shares.” Ian sighed and spoke up for Ron.
Mis. Sanders’ brows were still knitted tightly as she remarked. “That’s also unacceptable. Sarah, too, is an outsider.”
“However. I can only leave the company to Sarah. She isn’t the type to forget her roots. She’ll surely treat you very well,” Ian assured her earnestly.
Mis. Sanders gritted her teeth and questioned. “Then what about you? Why do you have to let the company’s stock fall into the hands of outsiders?! What about all that hard work you’ve put in over the years?!”
Chapter 208
Ian sat quietly, waiting for Mrs. Sanders to finish her questions.
He just sighed heavily after she finished speaking. His eyes had a glum expression that was impervious to all attempts at relief, like a thick fog that wouldn’t lift.
Why was it necessary to transfer the shares?
He’d clearly agreed to take over the company, and hadn’t he been doing so well?
“I’m sony. Mom.” Ian lowered liis eyes and apologized softly.
“Why?” Mrs. Sanders had her death glare fixed on him as she continued. “I don’t want to hear your apology. Why do you have to do this? Do you truly intend to leave your family to pursue your dreams? Ian. I don’t think you’re that irresponsible. You can tell me if you are having any problems.”
Mis. Sanders took a moment to breathe. She finally managed to take Ian’s hand after much effort slowly.
Her eyes were slightly red. and her voice trembled as she said. “Is there something wrong, Ian? You can tell me. I am your mother. We are a family. Is there anything that a family can’t work out together?”
When Ian looked into Mis. Sanders’ red eyes, a sudden urge arose in his heart. He wished he could tell her right away about liis terminal illness. After all, he had endured much of the burden alone and suppressed the issue in liis heart for such a long time. He was desperate for someone to come and save him.
But no.
He couldn’t be that selfish. His mother was getting on in years and wasn’t in great health either. The news would be too much for her to handle.
Ian clenched his hands slightly, and as he gritted liis teeth, liis eyes began to cloud over.
Wlien he raised liis head again, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by a gentle warmth.
He continued to speak softly while holding Mis. Sanders’ hand. He asked, smiling as liis soothing gaze filled the room, “Mom. what are you thinking? What could possibly be wrong with me? I just feel like I owe it to Sarah and Ron.”
His expression stung Mis. Sanders as she observed liis unwavering demeanor.
She closed her eyes, slid back onto the bed. and ruthlessly pulled her hand away from liis hold.
Then she pointed to the door and said, “Get out.”
Ian’s smile froze on liis lips. “Mom…please don’t be angry,” he pleaded.
“Get the hell out!” Mis. Sanders screamed suddenly as if she was about to collapse again. “Don’t come to see me unless you withdraw the equity transfer agreement. I don’t have a son like you. Get out!”
Ian’s face blanched in an instant. He opened liis mouth, hoping to persuade Mis. Sanders further.
Sasha, who was standing outside the door, heard the commotion inside. She burst through the door in a hurry. Then she took Ian’s hand and implored, “Ian, don’t say anything else. Discuss it when your mother is in a better frame of mind.”
“You go outside. Leave your mother to me.” Sasha gambled and winked at Ian.
Ian let out a sigh and nodded. “Mom, I’ll visit you tomorrow,” he said.
He left after speaking.
Ian rounded the comer from Mis. Sanders’ ward and proceeded to Leah’s.
Leah’s ward was sparsely populated in comparison to Mrs. Sanders’ ward. There was no one in her ward at that particular time.
Ian hesitated for a moment before summoning the courage to open the door. After entering, he quickly scanned the ward before asking her, “Where is Ron?”
Leah didn’t seem surprised when Ian entered the ward. She responded. “He went to get me some medication. Is Mrs. Sanders awake yet?”
“She’s awake,” Ian said with a nod.
“That’s good to know,” Leah said with a genuine smile.
After that, neither of them said anything else.
The ward was quiet for a while.
Ian’s gaze kept returning to Leah. She had her gaze fixed out the window, a serene expression visible in her obsidian eyes.
He simply kept staring at her while she turned her attention to the poplar trees outside the window.
Wlien did they become this way?
They were so close, yet so far away—as far away as the Milky Way.
Ian sighed heavily, got up. and said. “Since you are fine, I will take my leave.”
Leah eventually turned her head. She said, “Okay,” while blinking those stunning eyes.
Ian spun on liis heel and walked toward the door. He reached up to grasp the doorknob.
However, suddenly and without warning, Leah’s calm voice came from behind him, asking. “Ian, are you happy with how tilings have turned out now?”
Ian felt a little pain in his heart. He knew what she was asking about, but he couldn’t bring himself to turn around and face her.
There was no way he could go back now.
Ian tightened his grip on the doorknob. His grip was so firm it looked like he was crushing the doorknob.
He kept a rein on liis emotions and hummed forcibly before saying, “I decided on tliis path. I don’t regret doing it.”
“I’m glad to hear you’re not regretting it.” Leah gave a small smile. Then, in hushed tones, she asked him a question that had been on her mind all day. “Ian. you’re not hiding anything from me, right?”
Ian’s face broke into a wry smile.
Why did everyone have to ask him that? Wasn’t that just adding to liis misery?
Ian stifled a response, “No.
“Okay,” Leah said again, her voice gentle as ever. She continued. “Then I wish you happiness and hope you have a good life.”
The air was clearly very fresh and invigorating.
The pressure around Ian, however, made him feel as though he was about to suffocate.
He nodded. As he was suppressing liis urge to turn around, his face contorted so hideously—more hideous than he was crying, as a smile got squeezed out. He mumbled. “Thank you.”
Wlien Ian had finished speaking, he opened the ward’s door and walked out.
After slipping out of Leah’s sight, Ian could no longer contain himself. He slid down to the floor, his back against the wall.
His hands were clasped on liis knees. He looked like he was in so much pain.
“I’m sony,” Ian said quietly to himself. I’m truly sony Again. I lied to you.
The ward’s door was pushed open again shortly after Ian left.
Leah had assumed Ron had returned. “Wlien can I be discharged?” she inquired as she turned her head.
“Discharged? I’m afraid you won’t be discharged for the time being, Ms. White.” A slightly solemn male voice responded to her.
Wlien Leah turned her head, her gaze was drawn to a horse-faced doctor. He had a solemn expression and was holding a stack of reports. Obviously, it ought to be the results from her examination earlier.
Leah’s heart skipped a beat as she noticed the doctor’s expression.
She wasn’t afflicted with a bothersome illness, was she?
“Doctor, have the test results been released?” Leah asked warily.
“Yes.” The doctor approached Leah and placed a stack of reports in front of her.
Leah had no idea why, but her heart was in her mouth. She took a deep breath and went over the medical reports.
Her attention was drawn to one of the papers! Her face went completely white!
“What does tliis mean?” Leah asked in a trembling voice while picking up that piece of paper with trembling hands.
“As you can see for yourself. Ms. White, you are pregnant,” the doctor said, looking blankly at it. “The baby is two weeks old.”
Chapter 209
Sasha sobbed pathetically while hugging Mrs. Sanders in the ward. In between sobs, she commended Ian.
Molly also tried to cajole her in order to show her “gentle and considerate” side.
Han became agitated at the sight of the three women—particularly Sasha’s crying. He found it extremely disconcerting.
He pulled out a cigarette when suddenly he remembered he was still in the ward. He briefly held the cigarette between his fingers before saying to Molly, “I’m going out to smoke a cigarette.”
Molly dared not bother him because she could tell he was getting restless and impatient, so she quickly said, “Okay, Han. Once you’ve finished smoking, we’ll go back.”
“Okay.” Han left the ward and went to the smoking area. He lit a cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and began puffing.
His mind had been blank, but after he lit the cigarette, the image of Leah started to come to him.
She was lying on the hospital bed, oblivious to him.
Han became even more restless, and the cigarette in his hand seemed to have lost its flavor.
He snuffed out that one cigarette after quickly finishing it. He had intended to smoke another stick, but he found himself putting that pack of cigarettes back into his pocket for some reason. He pressed his lips together and moved slowly toward Leah’s ward.
Just one look.
He told himself tliat.
He over-pushed her, and that was why she fell. He was the reason she was in the hospital, so by all means, he ought to at least look at her.
Han paused at the ward’s door. He was about to open the door to enter when he heard Leah’s emotionally distraught voice from within say, “I won’t believe it!”
Han froze, his brows arched slightly.
Leah was, in fact, distraught. She kept looking at the report, reading it repeatedly to ensure she didn’t see tilings wrong. Her face was flushed red, and she wore a look of utter disbelief.
According to the report, she was two and a half weeks pregnant!
How could she, though? Two and a half weeks… That was half a month ago… Could it be the incident involving Shawn?
Leah felt that she was about to lose her mind.
“Don’t get too worked up, Ms. White. The examination performed at our hospital would never yield an incorrect result,” said the doctor earnestly, sighing.
He had earlier read Leah’s information and noticed that she was single, which was why his brows were furrowed and he was somber.
“How is this possible? How could I be pregnant?!” Leah’s face was pale, and her lips quivered as she said those words.
Outside the door, Han’s face also suddenly changed.
She’s pregnant?
That baby… For some reason, Han felt a burst of joy in his heart, making him want to rush in right away.
He eventually restrained himself from doing so.
Clutching the report in her hand, Leah took a full three minutes before she finally accepted tliat she was pregnant.
If she was indeed pregnant, then that meant Shawn was the father of this child. If this were indeed Shawn’s child, she would never want to keep it!
Leah almost dug into her skin as she clenched her hands tightly.
After what seemed like an eternity, as if she had made a major decision, she took a deep breath and said, “Doctor. I want to abort this child.”
The doctor let out a long sigh.
He knew it would come to this. Her information clearly stated that she was unmarried, implying that she would most likely want an abortion, but—
“You can’t abort the baby,” the doctor said helplessly, frowning.
Leah was taken aback for a moment before asking, “Why not?”
Her heart was gradually filled with a foreboding feeling.
The doctor frowned. Then, solemnly, he said, “You’d had a miscarriage before. Has that slipped your mind? Your chances of conceiving successfully are only tliirty percent at best. If you abort this baby, you will almost certainly never be able to conceive again!”
Leah’s face became as white as a sheet!
She’d never be able to have children for the rest of her life!
How could she have been so blind to the stakes?
She was a woman who would never be able to reproduce again.
Anguished, Leah closed her eyes.
She could never have Shawn’s child!
Shawn was a scourge, and Iris child was a scourge as well.
Leah had clamped down so hard that she had nearly cracked a back molar.
The doctor sighed as he witnessed her struggle and agony. Knowing she was upset, he consoled her, saying, “Take your time thinking about it. I’ll leave now and get out of your hair.”
Leah covered her head with her hands in anguish and nodded slowly.
After finishing his speech, tire doctor left, leaving Leah alone in the ward.
The atmosphere in the ward was heavy and silent.
Leah felt the internal conflict between her heart and mind.
Han, who had been standing outside tire door when he heard the news, felt uneasy at the same time.
Leah was two and a half weeks pregnant, so the baby was likely his. She wished to have their child aborted, though.
Han regarded the woman with a pale face and an agonized expression from outside the ward. His heart almost dropped to the bottom of the abyss when he saw her looking like that.
Was she suffering so much because she was pregnant with their child?
She’d rather risk not being able to have any more children for the rest of her life and abort the baby now?
Han’s hands clenched slightly.
When Han heard footsteps in the corridor, he quickly quelled his emotions and left Leah’s ward.
Ron pushed open the ward door to find Leah sitting on the bed with a pale face. She had a very distant look on her face. Her eyes wer e dull, as if she was lost in a daze.
“Are the test results out yet?” With his booming voice, Ron yanked Leah out of her thoughts. He reached out to get the results of her earlier examinations as he put the medication in his hand. “Let me look.”
Leah quickly retracted her hand, as if it had been scalded, and hid the reports behind her back.
Ron frowned and inquired suspiciously, “What’s the problem? Is something wrong here?”
Leah forced a smile while shaking her head like a rattle. “No, nothing. What could possibly go wrong? When will I be able to leave the hospital?”
She was successfill in diverting Ron’s attention away from that subject. “The doctor said a couple of days later,” Ron said with a smile, “He said you needed another checkup.”
“All…” Leah had a slightly dejected look on her face.
A couple of days wouldn’t bother her. It was enough time for her to consider her options and perhaps terminate the pregnancy.
She didn’t want to bring an unwanted child into the world and cause the child pain. After all, the father of the child was someone she despised.
Leah’s brows were knitted tightly, her face gloomy and sad. She appeared to be weighed down by worry.
Ron simply assumed she had grown bored of sitting there idly with nothing to do. “There’s a garden downstairs,” he said after a brief moment of thought. “There are quite a lot of people there. Would you like me to take you for a walk?”
“Hull?” Leah was caught off guard.
“Let’s go.” Ron took one of the coats and draped it over her. “It’s too boring to be stuck here in the room,” he said as he took her hand. “You will recover more quickly if you take a walk.”
“Okay.” Staying in the ward was also too boring for Leah.
Ian led her out of the ward.
However, the two didn’t know tliat a pair of surly eyes had been stalking them from behind.
Chapter 210
Tliis was the best hospital in Linkville. That was the reason why this hospital was less crowded.
The doctors here were incredibly skilled. They had many reputable local and foreign surgeons as well. It was less crowded solely because of its high charges. Those who could treat their ilhiesses here were either nobles or rich people. The hospital had a lot of money and the best equipment in Linkville.
Leah and Ron were walking in an empty garden. The garden had a wishing fountain, and Leah walked towards it.
‘’Do you have any coins?*’ Leah asked Ron.
Ron knew what she wanted to do and gave her a stack of coins. He said to her with a smile, “Make as many wishes as you want.”
Leah laughed when she saw there were at least 20 coins in his hands. She took one coin from Ron’s hand and held it as she made her wish.
Leah’s mind was blank when she was thinking about what wish to make.
In high school, Leah went on a school trip to the famous Avalon Lake. The place had a wishing fountain as well. Leah and Regina snuck out to the wishing fountain during lunch break.
Both of them threw their coins inside the wishing fountain hoping their wishes would come true.
Back then, Regina asked Leah with a grin, “Leah, what did you wish for?”
Leah was blushing and mumbled. “I… I wish to be admitted into Sylvester University.”
“Is that so? Do you know what wish I have made?” Regina asked.
Leah looked into her eyes and could not say the words in her mouth. She obviously knew about Regina’s wish. Both their wishes were about Han. When they were young, they were so naive and thought every wish could simply be fulfilled.
Now, she could only sigh, when she looked at the fountain and the coin in her hand. It seemed like she did not have anything to wish for anymore. She could only wish for her mother to recover soon. Leah made the wish and threw the coin into the fountain.
“What did you wish for? Leah?” Ron asked in a teasing tone as if he was speaking to a child since children were the ones who believed in wishing fountains.
Leah was embarrassed. Before she could speak, she felt someone running towards her.
“Sarah!” A voice called out. Then, Leah was knocked by someone. She stepped back and hit the edges of the fountain before falling into the fountain.
Leah and Shawn both exclaimed. The former did it because she was shocked, and the latter because he was scared.
“Sarah! I’m coming to save you!” Shawm struggled and tried to jump into the fountain. Ron pushed him away and jumped into the fountain to rescue Leah.
Leah was afraid of water. Her face was pale, and she was trembling even though the water in the fountain was shallow:
Shawm sat on the floor like a child wrho did something wrong. He said in a frightened voice, “Sarah, I didn’t do it on purpose. Sony. I was only too excited to see you and knocked you accidentally!*’
Although he said that, he could feel a cold aura beside him.
Ron stared at him and said, “Get lost.”
Shawm was scared and wanted to approach Leah. As he was approaching Leah, he said. “Sarah, protect me. He is so fierce.”
“Forget it.” Leah tugged on Ron’s shirt. She sighed and said, “He has the mind of a seven-year-old now. Let’s not get angry at him.”
Ron let go of his clenched fist slightly. He looked at Leah, who was soaking wet, and frowned.
It was autumn. When the wind blows, Leah felt the chill and trembled.
Ron stared at Shawm and w’aimed him, “If there’s something WTong with you, just stay in the wrard. You won’t be so lucky if you hurt her again.”
Shawm was hurt when he heard Ron say there was something WTong with him. He looked at Leah and asked cautiously, “Sarah, are you leaving? When will you come back to visit me?”
Shawm was behaving like a child after all, and he was quite independent. Even if Leah hated him, she could not bring herself to be mean to him.
She sighed, sneezed, and said, “Next time.”
She did not know7 when the next time would be.
Shawm smiled and said, “Okay, Sarah. I will be nice and receive treatment here. I will recover when you visit me next time.”
Leah was shocked by how7 pure the wrnrld of a seven-year-old “child” was.
“Okay, it’s a promise.*’ Leah gave him a smile.
Shawm was surprised at first, but he smiled. It was quick and no one noticed his surprised reaction.
Shawm put his finger out and wanted to do a pinky promise with Leah. He was laughing happily, “Let’s do a pinky promise.*’
Ron was staring at then interaction coldly. When they did then pinky promise, she pulled Leah’s hand and said. “Go back and change. Don’t catch a cold.”
Leah nodded and left the garden with him.
When they left, Shawm’s naive expression was replaced with a cold look. He thought Leah was really foolish because she believed him after he pretended in front of her a few7 times.
In the elevator. Ron was frowning and asked Leah, “Shawm is a dangerous man. You should stay away from him.”
“I understand.” Leah nodded.
Ron asked again, “Is there really a problem with him? Is it possible that he was just trying to fool you?”
Leah was stunned when she heard that. She had thought about the possibility, but she thought it was impossible. It did not feel like Shawm was pretending when he was with her at Dawmville. Even if he was pretending, she could not figure out why he would be around her since the person he wanted to get revenge on was supposed to be Han.
