Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 236



Chapter 236

“What’s the matter?"

Han picked up the call in the end.

Molly was sobbing on the other end; “Charlotte suddenly fainted just now. What should I do, Han?"

Han's face darkened as he immediately ended the call.

He marched away from the meeting room while calling the family physician. He told him about Charlotte and sent him to the Howard villa first.

He was speeding all the way and the journey that initially needed half an hour only took him ten minutes.

The moment he opened the door of the villa, he saw that Molly was sitting on the floor. In her arms, she was carrying Charlotte who was now unconscious. There were visible signs on her face that told him that she had been crying.

Molly had a look of pleasant surprise when she saw Han's appearance. However, she forced herself to remain solemn as she called out, “Han."

Han ignored her as he carried Charlotte and went upstairs.

The family physician arrived ven' soon too.

Molly was still sobbing albeit a little silently. She was approaching Han from behind.

The doctor was annoyed with her sobbing, yet he could not just criticize her outright. He simply made an excuse and asked Han and Molly to get out of the room.

When the door was shut, Han's face was even scarier. He shot his chilly gaze at Molly as he began, “Why don't you call the emergency number?"

Molly was drooping her head. She reckoned that Han would not see through her just yet.

She stammered. “I was in such a panic that the first person I thought of when Charlotte fainted was you, Han."

Han would not be convinced so easily.

“Is that so? Aren't you using Charlotte as your bargaining chip to test me?"

His words hammered deep in her heart, and there was a ferocious glint in his eyes.

Molly's heart sank as she had a hard time accepting the fact that Han had seen through her tricks. It would be useless for her to argue anymore further than this.

“It’s been some time since you've come back home."

Molly could not come up with a way to let Han come back home, other than using Charlotte.

Han's face was deathly cold, “You shouldn't use Charlotte like that. If you do this again next time, I won't forgive you."

After he said that, the family physician opened the door.

“I've administered some medicine for him, but it's only an emergency measure. We have to send him to the hospital for further and more detailed inspection to find out what's going on."

Han immediately carried Charlotte and went to the hospital after asking his butler to send the family physician away.

It was Leah's prenatal examination today as well, and Han had especially reminded Leah not to go to the hospital alone just this morning. He insisted that she wait for him to come home.

Han did not send any message and did not come home yet although it was already late afternoon.

Leah stared at the empty courtyard and she could not help but feel disappointed.

She did not want to undergo her prenatal examination alone, so she called Serena to accompany her to the hospital if she had time.

Serena had time to kill, so immediately after hanging up, she soon arrived at Rose Bay.

At the entrance, her glaring sports car rolled to a stop.

She was gazing at the design of the villa and she could not stop gasping silently.

“Did you score the letter}' behind my back?"

Serena could not think of any other reason Leah was able to move into such an outlandish place beside the fact that she suddenly got ahold of a huge amount of money.

Furthermore, Rose Bay was renowned for being a premium location for rich and affluent people. It was a symbol of wealth, and it was really hard for peasants to buy any property here.

Leah replied without any emotion, “I am just staying here temporarily. I will leave here soon."

Serena could sniff that a new gossip is on the horizon, “Cindy, you're not being honest to me."

Leah said nothing as she looked at the ground.

Serena thought that Leah was not in the mood at the moment, so she stopped pursuing this topic.

When she thought about how Leah had stopped contacting her, she said with mild anger, “I won't ask you about the villa anymore, but you can't just disappear into thin air without telling me your whereabouts. Do you know how worried was I?"

Leah opened the door of the passenger side and got in, “Alright, I won't do that again."

Serena started the engine and asked, “Are we going to the same hospital?"

“No, we are going to the Imperial Hospital."

Leah thought that she could visit Ron too after her checkup.

Leah's session was over very soon because she made an appointment before coming. She was able to get her hands on her report in no time.

When the door of the doctor's office was opened, Serena immediately jumped up. She took the report card and asked, “How was it? My stepdaughter should be fine, right?"

“He might be your stepson, for all you know." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Leah caressed her belly, and there was a strange sense of contentment swirling in her.

She would do whatever it took to protect this child in her belly.

“Let's go upstairs now."

When they reached the second floor. Leah suddenly felt that her courage had gone out the window. She did not know what to say to Ron.

Serena was confused when Leah was standing in front of the ward as if frozen in time.

“What's wrong?”

Leah said timidly, “Can you go in and check on him for me instead?"

Serena grabbed her arm and pushed the door open while saying, “You're already here, we should go right in."

Ron looked in the direction of that noise and saw that Leah was standing at the door. She was looking very lost.

His eyes were reddish as he asked in his hoarse voice, “Why are you only coming to see me now?”

The moment he lost consciousness, all Ron could think about was Leah. What if she was bullied since she was so cowardly? What if she was cheated on by someone since she was so clueless?

Awhile ago, he also thought about Leah the moment he woke up.

However, in the subsequent days, he had tried to call Leah but to no avail.

Leah held back her urge to cry and said, “It's great that you're awake now. I will be going now."

After saying that, she turned around and was able to leave the ward.

Ron pulled off the syringe from his arm and sprang up from the bed. He wanted to chase after her but he fell down immediately after just taking a few steps.

Leah froze in her tracks.

The nurse came too after hearing that huge sound.

“You're crazy, patient in room 806!"

As she scolded Ron, she helped him to his feet too.

Serena was watching the scene in front of her with her mouth hanging. Leah was gone already, so she had to attend to Ron.

“How is she doing?"

Ron was lying in bed now, and she was waiting for her reply with anticipation.

Serena answered without thinking. “She's doing just fine.”

Serena only realized that she had run her mouth after seeing that Ron now had a weird expression on his face.

“Get some rest first. I'll go look for Cindy downstairs.”

Leah had darted off earlier and ran all the way to a garden downstairs.

She did not know how to face Ron at the moment. She did not know what kind of explanation she could give him.

If Ron learned that Leah had practically sold herself to Han in order to save him, Ron might do whatever it cost him to bring her away from Han.

Leah sat on a long bench and took in a few deep breaths. Then, she took out her phone to call Serena.

Serena’s voice immediately filled her ears the moment the call connected.

“Cindy, what’s going on? Why did you run off without me?”

“I am sony; I don't mean to do that. I am in the garden just downstairs, come see me here.”

After hanging up, Leah sat on the bench and patiently waited for Serena.
