Leah did not mean to argue with Han. Moreover, she was the one who hurt him. It was
understandable that he was angry at her. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Let me
go, Han. If you hate to see me so much, then I should just leave.”
She did not expect that after listening to her words, he squinted, pinched her chin, and
asked, “Are you angry with me?”
Leah was speechless. When she finally found the words to say, she heard the click-clack-
click-clack of high heels down the corridor. Her expression sank when Molly’s face flashed
in her mind.
I can’t be discovered by Molly. If she sees me with Han, she won’t forgive me.
Han noticed the change in her expression. “Are you scared?” he looked at her sarcastically.
“If you beg me, I’ll help you.”
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Leah gritted her teeth hard and glared at him.
The door of the ward was opened, and Molly walked in. She looked around the
surroundings secretly. Hmm, weird. Didn’t the nurses on duty tell me they saw Han
grabbing a woman? Why don’t I see anyone else inside?
Han looked the same, sitting on the bed and looking at her impassively. There was no
other woman in the room except Molly.
However, she could smell a faint scent of daisies.
It’s summer now. Why is there a daisy fragrance here? Where’s the woman?
“What’s wrong?” Han’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. She turned her head and
looked at Han, who was staring at her impatiently. Molly smiled. Knowing that he was in a
bad mood today, she put the insulated flask on the bedside table and took out the chicken
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsoup from inside. “Han, I specially asked my nanny to cook it for you.”
Listening to the sounds from outside, Leah, who was hiding in the bathroom, was so
nervous that her heart was pounding rapidly. She listened to Han’s monotonous tone
accepting Molly’s soup and the sound of him taking a small sip of chicken soup. For a
moment, she nearly forgot she was hiding.
Molly walked toward the bathroom. Han knotted his eyebrows and suddenly toppled over
the bowl of chicken soup in his hands.
“Han, what’s wrong? You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?” Molly asked him worriedly.
Han shook his head and took out another set of patients’ clothes from the drawer. He got
out of bed and ordered, “I’m going to change my clothes in the bathroom. You can clean
up the bed.”
Molly did not mind Han ordering her around. She packed the things slowly and discreetly
shot glances at Han but did not see any unusual behavior. He walked into the bathroom
and locked the door behind him.
“Han, you…” Leah was shocked when she saw Han come in. She was about to speak when
Han covered her mouth and hinted at her to be silent. She blinked her eyes while looking
at him in confusion. Yet, she just did as he ordered. He nodded in satisfaction. The next
second, he took off his clothes and began to change.
Leah was speechless. Nevertheless, she has to admit that his body was well-built. Leah
briefly glanced at his impeccably-crafted muscles and shifted her gaze away. She
somehow felt flustered looking at him.
Han laughed, “Why are you acting shy? It’s not like you’ve never seen it.”
Feeling that he was too bold, she threw a few stares at him. Han’s mood lightened when
he saw that.
Noticing that Han was really going inside the washroom to change his clothes, Molly’s
doubts were dispelled. She finished packing up and said, “Han, I’m leaving.”
“Okay,” he responded coldly.
Molly finally left, and Leah sighed in relief. She thanked him and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the man grabbed her. She could tell he had a disapproving frown on her face.
“What’s wrong?” Leah was confused.
Han did not know what was going on either. He subconsciously wanted to stop her from
leaving. He paused for a moment before asking, “I’ve helped you, so how can you repay
me?”
“How do you want me to repay you?”Leah retorted calmly.
After so many encounters, she could barely feel anything when Han confronted her.
Yet, Han knew nothing about that. He thought that Leah was reluctant to compromise.
Maybe she still likes me, Han thought happily. He thought for a while and said, “I have no
idea. For now, you owe me a favor.”
Leah would rather not deal with him, but she did not have a say in it.
After leaving the hospital, Leah was somehow disturbed. She could feel that something
was about to happen, but she could not predict what it was.
The next few days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Saturday when Leah was
supposed to go with Christopher to fetch Mr. Crawford at the airport. When they arrived
there, Leah was extremely nervous. Christophe noticed that and consoled her with a
smile. Finally, the plane finally landed.
Leah saw an old man in a suit walking toward them with a stern face. Noticing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChristopher, the old man lifted his chin and nodded to him, “Christopher.”
“It’s been a long time since we last met, Mr. Crawford. You’re still as energetic as ever.”
Christopher walked toward Ryan and hugged him.
Leah felt an odd sense of familiarity when Leah she saw Ryan. However, she did not know
where she last met him.
“This way, please.” Christopher led Mr. Ryan to Leah. Ryan’s gaze fell onto the young
woman. He seemed to be thinking something when he saw her.
“This is Sarah White from the White family. She’s also the young jewelry designer I wanted
to introduce to you.”
“The White family? Which White family?” Ryan narrowed his eyes.
“It’s an honor to meet you, sir. My father is Gordon White,” Leah answered him meekly.
The eagerness in Mr. Ryan’s gaze seemed to die down a little after Leah mentioned his
father’s name.
“How old are you?”
Leah felt strange. Why does Mr. Ryan want to know my age? However, she honestly
replied, “I’m twenty-three.”
“Hmm, so you’re twenty-three years old…” Mr. Ryan commented. “At such a young age,
you managed to get recognition from Christopher. I bet you must be quite capable.”
Leah was embarrassed by his comments. “No, you’re flattering me. I have so much to
learn yet.”
“Hmph, I’m not flattering you. I’ll know your capability after looking at your designs.” Mr.
Ryan did not beat around the bush.
Noticing the situation, Christopher hurried over and said with a smile, “You must look at
her designs, Mr. Crawford. I believe my judgment is right.”
Ryan shot a glance at him. “Why? Is she your girlfriend?”
