Chapter 98
Chapter 98
Leah pursed her lips and let go of the knife. Her hands trembled. She did not dare to look at Leah. Instead, she asked Sasha, “I did as you told. You should tell me where Ian is.”
“Ian? Hahahaha, isn’t he at the company? Sarah White, you stupid woman!” Sasha laughed loudly. She had obviously gone mad.
“Leave the warehouse first,” Shawn’s calm command was heard through the headphones.
A black car stopped at the door of the warehouse. Sasha laughed and entered the car, her wild laughter echoing behind her. She did not look like she was lying. After Sasha left, Leah looked at Han, who was bent over and supporting his body with the wall while panting heavily.
She hesitated for a split second before calling an ambulance. However, his abdomen was bleeding too much. If he kept bleeding, he would go into shock.
Leah’s face was drained of its color. She did not expect that even though she avoided hurting his vitals, she still caused him so much pain. She hesitated and wanted to walk over. However, when she stepped forward, Han suddenly raised his head. His eyes were full of hatred.
He gritted his teeth and said plainly, “Get lost.”
“Let me bandage you up,” Leah approached him stubbornly. If it were before, she would not be able to get close to Han if he shoved her away. However, he was extremely weak now. He could barely hold himself together to speak a sentence, let alone shove her away. Han could no longer hold on and fell against the wall.
Leah was trained in basic first aid. With trembling hands, she took off Han’s coat. The first thing she noticed was his wound that oozed with blood.
Leah’s eyes were misty as she apologized, “Han, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…”
He was barely conscious. His ears echoed with her cries and apologies.
He thought it was funny. In the past, he wanted that woman to suffer, so he tormented her in different ways. That did not stop her though. He could have ignored her and watched her embarrass herself, but he did not know he came to rescue her. Perhaps, he had lost his mind.
“Why are you crying? It’s not like you’re hurt.” Han took a deep breath and said mockingly, “You are a hypocritical woman. You obviously hate me to death, so why don’t you just stab me in the heart?”
“Stop talking. The ambulance will be here soon,” Leah said hoarsely.
“Why? Are my words hurting you?” Han’s vision was failing. He held on hard and mocked her, “For the sake of Ian, I can’t believe you made it this far.”
So, she is willing to do anything for the person she likes. I see, so the person she loves is Ian, Han thought. The past three years of their marriage flashed past his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Leah’s hands trembled. When she raised her gaze and bit her lip to look at Han, she found that he was already unconscious. His breathing was shallow.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and the paramedics carried Han into the ambulance. Leah gave them Molly’s phone number and left walking away wobbling. She returned to the White family with her body covered in blood.
Jane was shocked by her appearance. While looking at the blood on Leah’s hands, she asked worriedly, “What happened, Sarah? Whose blood is that?”
“Mom.” Leah came to her senses. She hugged Jane suddenly and cried silently. Her shoulders were trembling as she sobbed like a wounded animal. No one knew how frightened she was when she pierced the knife into Han’s body.
Although Jane did not know what happened, noticing Leah being so scared and sad, she silently patted her back and reassured her, “It’s all right. No matter what happens, I have your back.”
As Jane spoke these words, her eyes shone with determination.
Leah was really exhausted today. After returning home and making sure that Ian was fine, she took a shower, lay on her bed, and fell into a deep sleep. However, Jane could not sleep at all. She looked at her daughter, who was lying in bed, with an uneasy expression. She clenched her hands tightly.
She took a deep breath, stood up, went into the study, and picked up a book from the shelf. Flipping through the pages, she took an old, tattered photograph from it. Three people were in the photo.
Jane’s eyes welled up with tears. She flipped over the photo and stared at the phone numbers written behind the photograph.
She took a deep breath, took out her cell phone, mustered her courage, and finally dialed the number.
“Beep beep….” The phone rang for a long time. Every second was a torment to her.
After some time, someone finally picked up the call. A slightly aged voice was heard from the other end of the phone, “Hello?”
When Han woke up on the hospital bed, it was already night. Other than the ticking sound of the medical device beside him, his surroundings were extremely quiet.
Han sat up. When he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his face turned pale. As he moved his body, a person standing outside the door was alarmed.
The door opened, and a woman walked in while crying. “Han, you finally woke up. You’ve scared me to death.”
Han raised his head and saw Molly wailing. Several people came in after her. He scanned through them and his gaze became gloomier.
Leah isn’t here.
“Who brought me to the hospital?” Han asked Molly.
Molly was stunned by his question and wondered if it was important. She honestly replied, “No one brought you here. Someone called the ambulance, gave them my number, and left.”
Suddenly, Molly paused. She clenched her hands angrily and questioned, “Han, who did this to you? Tell me and I’ll definitely kill her!”
Hearing her words, Han subconsciously thought of Leah. He shook his head calmly.
“Han?” Molly was puzzled. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Han said emotionlessly, “I don’t know.”
“Then why did you…” How did you become so seriously injured?
Before she could finish her sentence, Han threw a cold glance at her and asked, “Is it any of your business?”
Molly was stunned and muttered instinctively, “I really care for you, Han.”
“I’ll figure it out myself,” Han closed his eyes and said. “From now on, I don’t need you to intervene in all my matters.”
