Chapter 66
Meanwhile, Han rushed to the hospital after he changed his clothes in the mansion.
Molly was waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing his appearance, she ran happily towards him, her face filled with excitement and joy.
“What happened?” Han walked over and asked.
Molly looked at him shyly and bit her lips, “Han, I have some great news,” she answered.
Han frowned slightly as he somehow had a bad feeling about this.
She walked a couple of steps forward and lifted her head up, “Han, I’m pregnant,” she announced as her face was flushed red.
“What?!” Han was taken aback.
His brain exploded and buzzed as he was trying to process this information.
Molly is pregnant? Was it simply because of that time in the guest house… that made her pregnant? Han wondered.
Molly noticed Han’s reaction was not as expected and felt a little disappointed, “Han, are you disappointed that I’m pregnant?” She asked.
Han looked into her eyes.
Is she lying to me?
He shook his head after a moment, “No, I… I was surprised,” he replied.
“Yeah?” Molly’s mood immediately brightened up after hearing his response. She went over to cling onto his hands, “Well, it’s not only you who was surprised. I was taken aback too. But since we’re
having a child, I’ll make sure to deliver him into this world,” she smiled as she said.
Han stared at her seriously but it did not felt as if she was lying.
“Sure,” Han responded as he felt complicated.
“Now that I’m pregnant and your projects are settled, when are we getting married then? There’s no way I’m walking down the aisle with a big belly!” Molly continued on.
At that moment, Han had almost lost his ability to think.
“Sure, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible,” he replied blandly.
Han was not looking well.
His mind was filled with the fact that Sarah White was Leah Murray, and kept on wondering about her intention of lying to him and approaching him.
Molly naturally noticed Han’s expression.
“Han, are you okay?” She asked keenly.
“I’m alright,” Han slightly pressed his lips together, “Let me send you back home first, I still have to deal with something,” he said.
Although Molly did not want to see him go, she could see that Han was feeling worried.
She decided to talk to him after he was feeling better.
Han took Molly back to the Lamere residence.
After she arrived, she immediately called Shyanne.
“What happened? Did you finish that woman?” Once the call went through, Molly quickly asked.
Shyanne was silent for a while, “…No, my brother showed up and stopped me,” she replied with disappointment.
Molly’s face turned gloomy upon hearing that, “Why does Han want to protect that woman?” She mumbled angrily.
“Don’t worry, Molly. Now we know that Sarah White is Leah Murray, she can never escape now!” Shyanne answered grimly.
Suddenly, she heard the mansion door open and the sound of heavy footsteps was heard.
She hurriedly hung up the phone and turned around to meet Han who walked in with a grim face. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Brother,” she murmured.
“Don’t you call me that,” He glared at her and growled, “Shyanne Howard, you’re getting bolder than ever,” He scowled.
“I don’t get it, Han! Why do you have to protect that woman? Now that we know who she is, we could’ve had our revenge! But yet you blow it all up!” Shyanne snapped back.
Han gave her a look before chuckling, “And you think that doesn’t make you a murderer?” He remarked.
“But… I only wanted to avenge our father. That’s different,” Shyanne bit her lips as she knew she was wrong.
“Yet you killed her child,” Han reminded her back.
Shyanne paused.
Indeed, Leah killed their father and she killed her unborn child.
“But, it was an accident,” Shyanne argued.
Han didn’t bother to hear her explanations, “There are many ways to get your revenge. Next time, don’t get yourself involved in this matter again,” he warned.
He then turned and walked upstairs to his room.
Shyanne stared at his back with menacing eyes.
How could she stay away from this?
She was already at the point of no return.
……
Leah had been resting in the Sanders’ residence for two days.
Ian knew that she did not want Mr and Mrs White to worry, so he lied to them. He told them he was going to bring her to meet some friends and that she’ll not be coming home for a while.
Mr and Mrs White had always felt that Leah never had any friends since she was somewhat socially withdrawn and introverted.
So seeing Ian was willing to bring her around, they were more than happy.
Besides, as Ian was a doctor, it was best for him to be the one to look after Leah.
On the third day, while Ian was changing Leah’s IV tube, the woman who had always been still on the bed suddenly trembled violently.
“No!” Leah screamed and opened her eyes wide with sweat dripping down her forehead.
The first thing she saw was the pale white walls and the pink curtains beside her. Her body was sore but it was much better than before.
“You’re finally awake.” Beside her, Ian let out a sigh of relief.
She turned towards him as her memories gradually returned.
She then remembered she called Ian for help.
Leah sighed, “Thank you, Ian. You saved me again,” she thanked.
As she spoke, her voice was extremely hoarse.
Ian quickly poured a cup of warm water for her after hearing her voice, “Don’t worry about it. You were resistant towards penicillin, coupled with your fever after being caught in the rain, which resulted in you sleeping for the past two days,” he explained.
Ian’s words once again reminded Leah of the incident.
It was literally a nightmare.
She could even clearly remember the feeling of the knife slashing onto her leg.
Leah dropped her head down and stopped talking.
Ian sat on the chair beside her bed, “So, care to tell me what happened on that day?” He looked at her and asked.
Leah opened her mouth but suddenly paused.
No, I cannot tell Ian about this. What if he reports it to the police when he finds out that Shyanne did this?
She was first to let Han down. Their father died because of her, so it was only natural for her to take on their anger.
Leah gripped onto her cup tightly and sealed her lips.
Ian sighed after seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about it. But your body is really weak now and it needs a break. Stay at my house for the time being to rest up, I’ll explain this to Mr White,” he responded.
Leah lifted up her head. A few strands of hair hung onto her ears, adding onto her beauty.
“Thank you Ian.” She gave a relieved smile as she thanked him.
Ian looked at her smiling face and felt a slight heartbreak.
How could she still smile after going through such a terrible experience?
When he found her in the graveyard, she was covered in blood and was on the verge of death.
He had never seen such a strong and optimistic woman.
“Have a good rest.” Ian quickly left the room after mumbling out those words.
He was scared to let her see his distress.
