Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 6-10

Chapter 6
Shyanne flashed a wide smile and said sweetly as she ran toward the woman, “You have arrived, Molly!” She examined Molly for a while, guessing how long she had been standing there and how much she had eavesdropped. Molly nodded lightly and said, “Yeah, your brother brought me over. I overheard your phone conversation. Did you say that someone confessed to your brother?” Shyanne’s smile froze and she tried to act nonchalant. “It’s a woman in the mental hospital. She dreams of being my brother’s wife all day long. She’s so troublesome.” Molly was a control freak who could not tolerate any women near Han. She had never heard of anyone confessing to the man previously. Hence, she was certain that Shyanne was lying. Her expression turned somber as she asked, “Oh really? What’s the woman called?” Worried that Molly would learn of the truth, Shyanne tried to change the topic. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. She’s just a crazy person. Oh yes, I heard that Han went to Paline last week and bought the red jadeite bracelet for you. It’s Master Gordan’s final piece of work before retiring. It’s the only piece in the world. Let’s go and look at it!” “All right.” Though Molly could sense Shyanne was trying to divert the subject, she chose not to confront her. She decided to remember the name of the psychiatric hospital by heart instead. She was bent on finding out what Shyanne was hiding from her. Meanwhile, Leah was still in a dispirited state and relied on nutrition injections to survive. She spent the next few days sitting silently by the window. Thinking that she had finally calmed down, the nurses allowed her to head out to the open field for a breather. They never expected that the moment she stepped out of the door, she would shove them aside and flee as quickly as she could. The head nurse yelled, “Hurry get hold of her!” She knew that Leah would harass Han again once she broke free. Fearing that the man would hold her accountable, she instructed the security to do whatever they needed to seize Leah. Leah was weak from a lack of food for several days and was apprehended even before she got close to the entrance. She shrieked, “Get off me! I’m not insane. By imprisoning me, you are infringing my rights.” The head nurse scoffed, “Every patient here says that they are normal.” Seeing that Leah could not stop struggling, she did not hesitate to slap her across the face. The sudden unexpected hit caused Leah to instantly quiet down. The head nurse warned, “Listen carefully, you can forget about leaving this place once you have been admitted here.” Leah covered her face as tears started streaming down her cheeks. She shifted her gaze to the faraway door, feeling

despondent. As punishment from the head nurse, Leah was locked up in a tiny black room. She was determined to quickly regain her health in order to find another way out of the mental hospital. Two days later, the nurse escorted Leah out of the room and said, “Someone is here to see you.” Leah examined the unexpected visitor seated across from her. It was the beautiful woman she saw in the media all the time – Molly Lamere. Leah wondered to herself, why is she here?

Chapter 7
Molly carefully examined Leah from head to toe without any concealment. She scoffed and said mockingly, “So you are Leah. You look mediocre though.” Leah had guessed that Molly had ill intentions. In fact, she despised the woman because she was the reason Han had locked her in the mental hospital. Even though she considered turning around and leaving, she decided to stay and see if she could use Molly to get away. Leah calmly took the seat opposite Molly and said, “I know who you are. You are the Chief’s daughter and you are engaged to Han.” Molly’s expression darkened as she replied in a threatening tone, “Since you know that Han belongs to me, why are you still saying that you are his wife?” Undeterred by Molly’s piercing gaze, Leah smirked and said, “I’m not lying. You can get him here and explain himself if you don’t believe me.” Although Molly was skeptical about the woman’s claims, she could not call Han to demand an answer as nobody knew that she was at the mental hospital. She stared at Leah and thought to herself, I don’t care if she’s speaking the truth. There’s no way this woman can continue to stay at Linkville. Molly snickered and said, “If that’s the case, you…” Before she could finish her sentence, the vehicle engine was heard. Molly turned around and was shocked to see Han had arrived. He scowled as soon as he walked through the door and noticed the two women seated opposite each other. Han ignored Leah and walked to Molly. “It’s windy outside. Why are you wearing so little? What are you doing here anyway?” He immediately took off his jacket and wrapped it around Molly. His gaze was never on Leah the entire time. In contrast to her demeaning and harsh attitude to Leah earlier, Molly was now abashed and sweet-looking. She replied with a tinge of smugness, “I’m chatting with Ms. Murray.” “Chatting?” Han turned his attention to Leah and their eyes met. The latter immediately sat upright in fear. The man continued, “Why are you talking to a crazy person? Let’s head back.” Leah thought to herself, how dare he say I’m crazy? She straightened her back and tried to suppress her anxiousness. As she returned his gaze, she said calmly, “Han Howard, everything will be fine if you release me now. If not, I’ll not hesitate to do things the hard way.” Han was not the least bit affected by her threats. He narrowed his eyes and scoffed, “I’m interested to find out how are you going to do things the hard way.” Leah had not intended to offend such a powerful man. However, she was left with no choice if Han decided to imprison her for the rest of her life. Hence,

she decided that her only way out was to threaten him. She asked in annoyance, “Han Howard, why can’t you let me off?” “You can leave once you have recovered,” Han responded firmly.

Chapter 8
Leah was disheartened by the man’s response. She took a deep breath and turned to Molly before saying, “Given Ms. Lamere’s high standards, I’m sure she is unwilling to be engaged with a liar. After all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime affair.” Leah had expected Han to show signs of nervousness. However, to her surprise, he calmly held onto Molly’s hand and said gently, “I can call off the engagement if you don’t trust me.” Molly shook her head and said apologetically, “I believe you, Han. I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have doubted you…” Leah was taken aback by the twist of events because she had not expected Han to deceive Molly so easily. In truth, the latter did not believe the man’s words as she could sense that something was going on between Han and Leah. However, she was deeply in love with Han and was unwilling to do anything that would jeopardize the engagement. Despite this, she was annoyed at the discovery and secretly swore to fix the situation. Molly’s eyes started to turn watery as she pleaded, “Please don’t be mad at me. I…” Han touched her lips to prevent her from continuing. He then coaxed, “I understand. I just hope that you won’t be influenced by people with ill intent.” The man turned to look at Leah in disgust before adding, “You should never believe the words of a crazy woman.” Appalled by the man’s response, Leah wondered to herself, how can he say all that with such confidence? Isn’t he afraid that someone will check on our marriage status and reveal the truth? Leah thought long and hard as she could not understand how the event had unfolded. She clenched her jaw and asked Han, who had returned after escorting Molly to the car, “Did you expect that Molly would not check you?” The man let out a soft chuckle and returned a death stare that left one afraid. “You are so gullible, Leah. Did you really think that you can hurt me like this?” Leah replied in puzzlement, “What do you mean?” Han lowered himself to her ears, sending shivers down her spine with his deep breathing. He whispered, “Have you ever considered that if the Lamere family knew of your existence, not only will you be unable to get out of this place forever, but your life may also be in grave danger?” Leah’s face turned as pale as a sheet as she understood the gravity of the matter. Even though she wanted to deny it, she knew that there was some truth in the man’s words. This left her in a difficult position because she was bound to lose no matter what decision she made. Seeing that Leah finally grasped the situation, Han gave a cold laugh and turned around to walk away. Just then, he received a call from his assistant. The man reported, “You have guessed correctly, Mr.

Howard. Ms. Lamere met the nurse head alone and she saw Ms. Murray’s case file.” Han gave a faint smile and instructed, “Just make sure that the nurses keep their mouths shut. There’s no need to do anything else.” “All right, Mr. Howard. You should also know that a large sum of money was credited to the head nurse’s bank account. We checked that it was given by Ms. Lamere.” Molly wasted no time in dealing with the matter. Han thought to himself for a short while before speaking, “There’s no use for a disloyal person. Get rid of her.” “I understand, Mr. Howard.” Han was deep in thought after hanging up the phone. He cast a sidelong glance at Molly, who was standing beside the car outside.

Chapter 9
“Han, It’ll be our engagement in a couple of days. Can you invite Ms. Murray to attend our banquet?” Molly took his arm as soon as Han walked over. Her eyes filled with admiration. Han squinted his eyes. “Why?” Molly pretended to look melodramatic. “To be honest, I was thinking about Ms. Murray’s well- being. She lost her mind because of you. If she attends the banquet, she might get stimulated and return to normal.” Molly had not given up hope. However, Han was not deceived by her lies. Although he did not know what Molly’s objective was, he knew something bad would happen if Leah were to attend the banquet. He did not deny Molly’s request because it was impossible for him to help Leah. After a moment, he grinned and said, “As long as you’re happy.” … Leah had been feeling empty ever since Han left. She had no authority or financial support, and she did not even have family members to rely on. Not even the Howard family or the Lamere family would help her. She had always been on her own. Moreover, there was a nurse who picked on her particularly. It was only after she realized that she was overthinking. Leah no longer needed to be locked in her room all day, and she could leave the hospital whenever she pleased as the nurse who hit her was fired. Nevertheless, it was a good sign, although she could not leave the psychiatric hospital. Leah overheard a conversation between two nurses as she was heading to the bathroom. “Hey, have you heard? There’s a new doctor in our hospital. I’ve heard that he’s an expert in psychiatry, and he won several international awards.” “Wow, that’s pretty amazing! Is he good-looking?” “He is handsome, but I still think Mr. Howard looks better. I’m so envious of Ms. Lamere, they truly are a match made in heaven.” As the laughter faded, Leah came out of the bathroom in a trance. She felt her heart wrenching. Placing her palm over her chest, she chuckled to herself. Forget about him, he’s not worth it. He’s not worth anything. She understood the truth, but she still felt bad. She had been trapped in this place and treated as a lunatic. However, that man was still out there, holding another woman in his arms. Leah felt extremely depressed as though she were trapped in a big net. This made her feel suffocated. She never had good health to begin with as she was sent to the psychiatric hospital right after her miscarriage. After days of mental stimulation and unfair treatment, she collapsed. She had a 102-degree fever. The new doctor, Dr. Sanders gave Leah a series of diagnoses and treatments that night. He found a brown diamond- shaped birthmark on her wrist while examining her. His eyes flashed in surprise, though it was only for
