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 muchshe had eavesdropped. Molly nodded lightly and said, “Yeah, your brother brought me over. Ioverheard your phone conversation. Did you say that someone confessed to your brother?” Shyanne’ssmile froze and she tried to act nonchalant. “It’s a woman in the mental hospital. She dreams of beingmy brother’s wife all day long. She’s so troublesome.” Molly was a control freak who could not tolerateany women near Han. She had never heard of anyone confessing to the man previously. Hence, shewas certain that Shyanne was lying. Her expression turned somber as she asked, “Oh really? What’sthe 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 Palinelast week and bought the red jadeite bracelet for you. It’s Master Gordan’s final piece of work beforeretiring. It’s the only piece in the world. Let’s go and look at it!” “All right.” Though Molly could senseShyanne was trying to divert the subject, she chose not to confront her. She decided to remember thename of the psychiatric hospital by heart instead. She was bent on replaceing out what Shyanne washiding from her. Meanwhile, Leah was still in a dispirited state and relied on nutrition injections tosurvive. She spent the next few days sitting silently by the window. Thinking that she had finally calmeddown, the nurses allowed her to head out to the open field for a breather. They never expected that themoment 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 shebroke free. Fearing that the man would hold her accountable, she instructed the security to dowhatever they needed to seize Leah. Leah was weak from a lack of food for several days and wasapprehended even before she got close to the entrance. She shrieked, “Get off me! I’m not insane. Byimprisoning me, you are infringing my rights.” The head nurse scoffed, “Every patient here says thatthey are normal.” Seeing that Leah could not stop struggling, she did not hesitate to slap her across theface. The sudden unexpected hit caused Leah to instantly quiet down. The head nurse warned, “Listencarefully, you can forget about leaving this place once you have been admitted here.” Leah covered herface 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 wasdetermined to quickly regain her health in order to replace another way out of the mental hospital. Twodays later, the nurse escorted Leah out of the room and said, “Someone is here to see you.” Leahexamined the unexpected visitor seated across from her. It was the beautiful woman she saw in themedia all the time – Molly Lamere. Leah wondered to herself, why is she here?
