Chapter 10

Leah’s face was pale and her eyes were closed tightly. It was as if she was going through somethingincredibly agonizing. She had nightmares again. In her dream, she was trapped in a car surrounded byflames. The thick smoke choked her and the narrow space suffocated her. Tongues of flame burnedher face as she yelled in agony. It was dawn when she woke up from her nightmare. When Leahopened her eyes, she saw Han sitting on a chair while smoking a cigarette. His back faced her, andthere were several cigarette butts on the ground. She was startled for a moment, then shut her eyesand ignored him. Han already knew that she was awake after he saw her reflection through the glasswindow. He stepped on the cigarette and turned around. He stared at the frail woman lying in thehospital bed. “Open your eyes.” His tone was stern. He never asked her if she had any opinions andnever allowed her to have one either. Leah had no choice but to open her eyes and look at him. He nolonger had the brilliant eyes he had before. His eyes were clouded, and she could no longer replace thebrightness in them. Looking at her pale appearance, Han felt depressed. His tone was cold. “Are youdone causing trouble for everyone?” Leah had no expression. She did not even want to look at him.Han’s face turned gloomy in an instant, he leaned over and grabbed her chin. “I told you to answer me.Did you hear me?” Leah did not frown even though her jaw hurt. She still did not give him anyexpressions. Han chuckled and looked at her in anger. “You’re getting bolder these days.” Her eyeswere cold and lifeless. Han was slightly stunned and remembered what Dr. Steadman said all of asudden. “The patient is depressed and stressed out. If you’re not careful, she might have suicidalthoughts.” Han did not understand why he was nervous. When the hospital called to inform him thatLeah got into an accident, the thought of her being close to death made him feel suffocated and hecould not breathe well. The atmosphere froze. Leah finally said something after a while. “Why don’t youleave, Mr. Howard? I must be an eyesore to you.” It was at that moment when Han realized that Leahhated him to death, but how dare she? What right did she have to hate him? He should be the one tohate her. It was all her fault that he had to bear her pain. This was only the beginning of his revenge.Han glanced at her coldly, as if his astonishment earlier was just an illusion. He stood up and looked ather condescendingly. “You’re right. The more I look at you, the filthier I feel.” He took out a cigaretteand lit it up. “Molly wants you to attend our engagement banquet. Although I despise you, I can only go

along with it since it’s her request.” Leah tilted her head in disbelief. She was wondering if she hadheard him right. “What… what did you say?” Han’s face was reflected in her eyes. Leah’s eyes becamebloodshot. She clenched her fists tightly and her breathing began to be rapid. Her body was trembling.“Han Howard, you’re humiliating me because you want to please that woman?” Molly knew that Leahliked him, and wanted Leah to watch him get engaged to her. He was wicked. Leah felt as if her heartwas sliced into pieces.
