Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 204

Mi; Carling's demeanor remained as deferential as he said, "Okay. Mr. Howard, you can go."

He had addressed him as "Mr. Howard" rather than "Mi; Han."

Han hurried away. After he had left. Mr. Carling opened the door to the ward and walked in.

The ward was very quiet at the time, and no doctors or nurses were in sight. Shawn was dressed in a hospital gown that was blue and white. He lay quietly on the bed, eyes closed, breathing steadily. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Mi; Carling sat by the bed and sighed before asking earnestly, "Mr. Shawn, is there a need for you to torment yourself like this?"

After hearing his words, Shawn, who was lying on the bed, abruptly opened his eyes.

He no longer had that silly look in his eyes. Instead, a darker and more scheming appearance had taken its place.

Shawn sat up slowly from his bed. His head was still a little sore. The malicious and insidious intent in Shawn's eyes grew more pronounced as he considered the price he had paid.

"You don't understand." Shawn said coldly, "it's nothing to exact vengeance on Han by killing him. That's far too easy for him."

His expression grew' more and more sinister when he suddenly laughed icily and drily as if he had thought of something that tickled him. "I wrant him to live liis entire life in agony and regret. I'll make

him watch as the woman he loves wralks awray from him. I want him to have nothing but pain and agony for the rest of his life!"

Intense hatred filled Shawn's eyes as he gritted liis teeth.

For a brief moment, Mr. Carling was taken aback by his expression.

He couldn't understand how Shawn had become tliis way.

"Why don't you just stop, Mr. Shawn? Mr. Howard has never done anything to cause you harm. Besides...he has lost his memory and can't remember anything. Your vengeance is completely meaningless!" Mr. Carling tried hard to persuade him.

"Stop talking!" Mr. Carling was interrupted by Shawn's fierce and agitated speech. "If it wasn't for Han. would my life be like this?" he said coldly, clutching the edge of the bed. "Back in the day. the Ford family was far more powerful than the Howard family. He and that woman are to blame for everything! I'll never forgive them for the rest of my life!"

When Mr. Carling saw the intense hatred in Shawn's eyes, he was rendered speechless and helpless inside.

He had never walked a mile in Shawn's shoes, so he had no idea wdiat the man was going through.

It was just that he didn't want the child he had raised with liis own hands to become a weapon of vengeance.

Besides—

"However, Mr. Shawn, Ms. White is blameless. She has a good heart." Mr. Carling let out a sigh.

Yes, Leah had a good heart. Even if she had to face Shawn, who had previously hurt her, she would still properly care for him.

Shawn remained unusually quiet.

His fingers curled up slightly, and the gummy bears suddenly came to mind.

Leah did, in fact, buy him that candy.

Mi; Carling assumed that he had wavered upon observing his silence.

After a while, Shawn's eyes returned to being dark and cold as he said, "As long as anyone has anything to do with Han. they are all evil—so is she."

He sounded very cold.

It was as if he was trying to convince himself.

Mis. Sanders hosted a birthday banquet at Skai Restaurant on Friday.

Leah wrent to the birthday banquet with Ron, while Ian wrent with Sasha.

Sasha had been staying at the Sanders' residence lately. Mis. Sanders had animosity toward her, but she didn't say anything about it because of Ian.

Mis. Sanders preferred Leah over Sasha because she was the White family's eldest daughter and the family business's heir. Leah would be more useful to Ian based solely on these factors.

Supposedly, the two could live happily ever after, just like in a fairy tale.

However, wrho would have thought that Ian would lose liis marbles and cancel the engagement banquet, infuriating Mis. Sanders.

Mis. Sanders still harbored some resentment toward Ian these days.

Mis. Sanders, on the other hand, had not expected Leah to show' up with Ron!

Mi s. Sanders' face darkened in the blink of an eye when Leah took hold of Ron's aim and walked to her side.

"This is my birthday present to you, Mrs. Sanders." Leah handed over the gift box she was holding.

Ron also used the occasion to present liis gift cheerfully.

Ron previously gave a gag gift at Gordon's reception banquet, wdiich made Mi s. Sanders wrary of his gift.

Mis. Sanders thus rejected Ron's gift.

She smiled a little forcedly as she accepted Leah's gift. Then, she said. "Sarah, you are such a good girl. How can you be friends with someone like him? Even if Ian had done you wrong, you can't be with him..."

She hesitated to speak.

Leah felt helpless.

Sasha and Ian came over at tliis point.

When Ian saw Leah, liis eyes flickered slightly. He seemed to be bursting at the seams and needed to say something to Leah.

Even though they had only stopped seeing other for tivo weeks, Ian thought the chasm between them had grown so wide that it could never be bridged.

"Ian," Sasha said as she tugged on liis arm and shook her head at him.

Ian's condition was already known to Sasha.

But wdiat did it matter? She had been with Ian for five years, which was enough.

Ian let out a sigh.

"Sarah," he said as he approached, exuding restraint and caution.

It was only one word, but it took all of liis courage.

Leah's heart wasn't as tumultuous as it had been wiien she saw’ Ian again.

She had long since moved on from that after going through so much. She didn't need to push it to happen since she had no affinities with him. At the very least, they were once good friends, and he had helped her a lot back then.

"Long time no see," Leah said, smiling.

Ron pouted and turned awray from Ian, repulsed.

"Yes, it's been a while." Ian moved in front of her and said, "I'll announce something later."

" What is it?" Leah felt a tiny bit shocked. Was he going to announce liis engagement to Sasha?

"You'll find out later," Ian said, forcing a smile.

Leah nodded and didn't say anything else.

There was a commotion at the entrance, and Leah instinctively looked up to see Molly walking in with a smile, holding Han's hand.

Tliis was Han's first public appearance since losing liis memory, and he had brought Molly with him.

Prior to this, there had been rumors that he and Molly had a tense relationship and that he was intimately involved with the jewelry designer who had just returned from abroad.

However, they had both shown up together. It was as if they were slapping those rumor-mongers in the face.

"Happy birthday. Mrs. Sanders." Molly said as she walked towards them, smiling.

Han's gaze was cold and indifferent. Leah cast a glance liis way, and his browr furrowred slightly in response.

It appeared as though her mere gaze was enough to make him uneasy.
