Begging For A Reconciliation
Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Han let go of the black umbrella in his hand. He pressed his lips together and walked toward Leah.

The rain was pouring, and it drenched him in no time.

Those dark and profound eyes in the rain seemed clearer than ever.

He crouched down in front of him, gripped her chin, and forced her to look at him.

Turbulent emotions roiled in his eyes.

Who could this woman be, if not for Sarah White? This face… doesn’t look like Leah at all.

“Han, this woman changed her face and deceived the White family. I have evidence of it. She’sdeceiving you too. She’s back at your side to take revenge on you!” Shyanne said anxiously when shesaw Han was silent.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Leah. “I didn’t believe it at first, but I can confirm that it’s true. LeahMurray is allergic to penicillin, and Sarah White is too. How else can you explain the coincidence? Thetwo of them are the same person.”

Han glared at Leah coldly. “Is what she said true?”

Leah’s heart sank as she looked him in the eye.

Han would not forgive her.

“Speak!” Han ordered sternly.

“Cough! Cough cough!” Leah coughed violently. Her eyes were blurred by tears.

She bit her lip hard. A long time later, she said, “Yes, Han. I didn’t mean to deceive you. I…”

Thud!

Han flung her aside.

The coldness of the marble slab chilled her to the bone, and she was about to lose consciousness.

“How dare you,” Han said.

He finally knew why he had certain feelings for Sarah.

Sarah was Leah Murray all along.

“I didn’t mean to do that, really. And…” Leah took a deep breath. “I don’t know what happened to yourfather. I’ve lost my memories…”

“Shut up. You’re not worthy of mentioning him,” Han chided.

Leah bit her lip. “So is that the reason why you hate me?”

“Yes,” Han answered.

“Ten years ago, when I was twelve, you made me fall in love with you because you wanted to takerevenge. Right?”

“Yes.”

“Three years ago, you married me so that you could torment me. Right?”

“Yes.”

Leah’s voice was shaking, but there was no hesitation in Han’s replies.

He had admitted it. Whatever he did was only for revenge.

Leah felt as though her heart had withered and died. She began to cry.

“But Han… you appeared in front of me ten years ago, and you saved me from the darkness. You’relike a ray of light to me, you know?”

“.…

“I don’t remember much of what happened in the past, but I still remember very clearly everything thathappened between us since ten years ago.”

“…”

“Han, why did you save me that time? Why didn’t you let me die?” As Leah spoke, she spat out amouthful of blood.

She wiped the blood away. The stabbing pain of the allergic reaction and the sharp pain of the woundon her knee was nothing compared to the dull ache in her heart.

She remembered how she had fallen in love for the first time when she was twelve. She rememberedthe vows she gave in the church when she was nineteen. She remembered the stillborn baby.

It felt as though there was a gaping hole in her heart.

“Urgh!” Leah spat out another mouthful of blood and passed out.

Han stared at her and said nothing.

“That’s enough, Han. Let’s end her life once and for all,” Shyanne said while walking over.

Han’s lips were pressed together tightly. He did not say a word.

Shyanne lifted the dagger in her hand. Suddenly, Han gripped Shyanne’s hand and said, “Stop.”

“What?” Shyanne said with a frown.

Han sighed and said, “Don’t kill her.”

“Why?”

“She… doesn’t deserve to die.”

“Han? Have you changed your mind?” Shyanne was alarmed.

Han shook his head. He suddenly remembered how Leah had carried him on her back and ran out ofthe fire.

“We’ll spare her life. We can torment her in many ways while she’s alive, can’t we? We don’t have to killher.”

Shyanne could not believe what she heard.

She felt a slight pain in her wrist. Han had snatched the dagger from her.

“Why, Han? Have you become soft-hearted?”

“I haven’t.”

“You have!” Shyanne exclaimed. “You… You had so many chances to kill her, but you squanderedevery chance until she went missing! Now that we’ve found her, why are you giving up the perfectopportunity to kill her with your own hands?”

“I told you. There are many ways to torment her.”

“No, Han. You’ve changed.” Shyanne looked at her brother like she was looking at a stranger. Thecrazed look in her eyes was nowhere to be seen.

“Han, tell me, have you fallen in love with her?” she asked calmly.

Boom! An explosion went off in Han’s head.

Me? Love her?

“No,” he blurted instinctively.

How can I possibly love that woman?

“If you don’t, how…”

“I don’t want to repeat myself,” Han interrupted angrily. He turned his head to hide the nervousness inhis eyes. “Leave now. Don’t let me see you here again.”

Shyanne gritted her teeth and glared hatefully at Leah.

She knew she had failed.

After Shyanne left, Han walked toward Leah.

Looking at the woman curled up on the ground, he sighed and reached out to touch her.

Suddenly, he remembered what his sister asked him…

“Have you fallen in love with her?”

Han stood up abruptly. His jaws were tightly shut.

He snapped out of it when his phone began to ring.

The call was from Molly. Han thought for a while before answering.

“Yes?” Against the pouring rain, his voice was ice-cold.

Molly did not notice that because she was occupied by joy. “Come to the hospital, Han. I have goodnews for you,” she said happily.

Han shot a glance at Leah on the ground. “Okay.”

Then, he ended the call.

He looked at Leah again.

That woman did not deserve his pity.

Han’s expression became harsher than ever. He stepped into the car and left.

The rain only became heavier.

After some time, Leah finally stirred.

She opened her eyes very slowly. Her insides were screaming with pain.

She found her phone in her handbag and made a call.

Beep, beep, beep…

The wait felt like an eternity.

“Hello?” Finally, a warm voice was heard on the other end of the call.

“Ian,” Leah said with a dry throat. “Save me.”

Ian immediately frowned. He stood up and asked anxiously, “Where are you?”

Leah gave her location to Ian. After she ended the call, she lost consciousness once more.
