The wind rattled by Leah’s ear. She did not know that a brief time from falling would feel
like eternity.
Before Leah jumped, her head was full with images of Han with an apprehensive look.
An unusual sense of revenge was provoked in Leah.
Right when Leah leaped down, the pseudocide Ryan gaved her started having some
effects. Leah’s senses were blinded and everything became pitch black.
“No!” Han dived, wanting to catch Leah. But all he could grasp was a torn cloth from
Leah’s dress.
Han held the cloth tightly as if Leah was still in his hand. The pain that Han underwent was
asphyxiating him.
All he could think of was Leah’s last words and that agonized smile.
Leah said to call it an even.
Even? How can we be even?
There were still so many things that Han wanted to tell Leah. Leah didn’t even kept her
promise to Han.
At this moment, Han realized that revenge and the past meant nothing to him.
There was only one thing that he wanted, and Han knew it better than anyone.
Perhaps, Han really had fallen for Leah.
Han loved Leah.
He started to mourn and crawled on the floor because of the excruciating pain.
Leah’s face kept emerging every time he closed his eyes.
Her smile. Her dejected look. Her relieved expression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMolly looked at Han, she thought Han wanted to jump, so she ran over and grabbed him.
“Calm down, Han.”
Seeing Han in bereft because of Leah, Molly felt bad and was filled with remorse.
There was nothing Molly could do. The man in front of Molly was the love of her life. Even
if Han didn’t love Molly, Molly would still want to spend the rest of her life with Han.
It’s okay. Molly told herself. There was no chance that Leah could survive that fall from this
height. Once Leah is dead, Han will slowly accept Molly as time passess.
Molly’s voice brought Han back to his senses.
Han raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen. He was panting while getting up from
the ground. “I am going to look for Leah” said Han while he pushed Molly away.
Han believed that Leah was still alive.
“Don’t go, Han. Please don’t leave me alone.” Molly begged while clinging to Han’s waist.
He gave Molly a resented glare and pushed her away. He quickly drove his car down the
hill to find Leah.
At the same time, Ian rushed towards the direction where Leah fell.
Please be alive, Leah. Ian prayed desperately.
…
Leah got stuck between the twigs of a tree when she dropped.
The blustery wind kept blowing on and on. The intimidating injury mark on Leah was
created by the branches.
Suddenly, the branch snapped and Leah fell through the branch again.
But thanks to the tree, Leah was able to avoid getting more fatal injuries.
Leah was badly injured and lied on the ground. Her Aqua blue dress was covered with her
own blood.
Han finally reached the bottom of the hill and found Leah lying on the ground. He slowed
down his footsteps and pursed his lips while walking over.
Leah’s moribund body terrified Han.
He carefully held Leah in his arms and slowly moved his finger to check Leah’s breath.
Han was astounded.
Leah’s breathing stopped and her body temperature was starting to drop.
Her eyes were closed as if she was sound asleep. However, Han knew that Leah might
never wake up again.
Han’s intricate emotion was hard to describe. He felt like everything was tranquil, but at
the same time, everything was calamitous.
Han’s face was stern while he carried Leah gently in his arms. “Everything will be alright,
let’s go home.”
Right on his way back, Han encountered Ian who was also coming to see Leah.
Leah’s terminal wound and her paused breathing baffled Ian.
Although Ian knew everything was Leah’s intentional plan, perceiving it with his own eyes
still puts him in agony.
Han gaved Ian a grim stare and continued walking.
Ian recalled the things Leah told him and grabbed Han by the hand. “Give her back to
me.”
“Back off!” Han shouted with his eyes completely red.
“I’m her fiancé. If she is really dead, she will die as a Sander.” Ian was fuming.
“Don’t make me repeat myself, scram.” said Han.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHan pushed Ian away and started mumbling to Leah. “She is mine… I’ll find the best
doctor in the world. She will be just fine.”
“I’ll apologize to her after she wakes up. Leah would definitely forgive me because she still
loves me.”
Han was calm, but on the other hand, Ian started to frown after listening to Han’s words.
Ian wanted to get Leah back. “Han Howard. Are you out of your mind? You’re the reason
she is dead, what right you have to say so. And what right do you have to take her
corpse?”
Han was starting to feel anxious.
“No. She is mine.” Han held Leah closer to himself.
Han was deemed a madman to Ian.
“She loathed you, Han. Do you think you should still pester Leah after her death?” Ian
repeated himself.
Han’s cold expression was starting to waver.
Han’s body shivered and hugged Leah even closer to himself. “No. She loves me. She
loves me…”
Out of expectation, Han collapsed. He leaned to the rock beside him and vomited a huge
puddle of blood. After that, he blacked out.
Even though he passed out, he still wouldn’t let go of Leah as if to prevent someone
taking Leah away from him.
Ian started to feel pity for Han.
Han didn’t know that everything was just a masquerade and really thought Leah died.
Leah might have a change of heart if she sees this.
No. This must not happen. Ian was firm about this. Everything will end soon and Leah will
finally be set free.
Ian quickly grabbed Leah from Han and scuttled away.
