Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 324

Chapter 324 You Are Too Careless

The next day, Leah asked Serena to join her for lunch at a French restaurant. However, Leah waited till noon, and Serena did not show up. Instead, Anna walked up to her table.

“Hello, Ms. Lancaster,” Leah greeted Anna with questioning eyes. She did not invite Anna to her lunch. Anna simply greeted Leah and sat down in front of her.

“Since we are both here, I thought we should have lunch together, Ms. White,” Anna lifted a friendly smile. Leah felt uncomfortable and estranged from Anna.

“I am sorry but my friend is on her way,” Leah rejected with a smile. Anna shrugged and said, “Well, we are friends too, aren’t we? Let me buy you a drink, my friend!”

Minutes later, two glasses of red wine were served to their table. Anna raised one of the glasses, “Cheers!” She took a gulp.

Finding no excuse to refuse, Leah raised her glass and took a sip. She glanced at Anna, unsure of what to do with the situation. Anna being here did not seem like a coincidence at all.

Leah put her glass down. Anna began to talk about her happy life with Han. “I have to tell you what happened the other day with Han. I was walking bare-footed on a warm day, and he insisted on carrying me to the bed. He would not let me out of bed without wearing socks.”

Trying to remain calm as her heart ached, Leah plastered a smile on her face. She thought she was over Han, but she still felt hurt when Anna talked about her life with Han.

Anna saw the way Leah’s face fell, and she secretly enjoyed it. She could do this all day long.

Ten minutes later, Leah began to worry about Serena, so she called her cell phone. However, Serena did not pick up. Leah panicked. She had to call the cops. “My friend Serena may be in danger,” she mumbled as she stood up.

Anna smirked. I am afraid you are in danger yourself, Leah. Before Leah could step away, Anna fell to the table, and a few waiters rushed over to find out what was happening.

“Ms. Lancaster! What happened? Call the cops!” The waiters surrounded Leah and Anna. “We have to send her to the hospital immediately! Could you please stay until the cops are here? They may need to ask you about what happened.”

Anna fainted and was sent to the hospital. However, Leah was forced to stay in the restaurant. She was anxious; she felt like she was walking into a trap.

“This has nothing to do with me,” she frowned, “Why can’t I leave?” The incident reminded her of the car crash with Anna; both incidents were eerily similar. Anna had fainted in Leah’s company - this could have severe consequences.

“We are sorry but you can’t leave before you explain the situation to the cops,” the waiters did not intend to let her leave.

It started to rain when Han entered the restaurant. Leah looked dejected, and it ached his heart. He slowly walked toward her.

“Anna’s report is out,” he said in a low voice, “She was poisoned. Someone added poison to her wine. What do you have to say about this?”

Leah turned toward him and said nothing. Her heart sank. He was here for Anna once again. She knew nothing she said now would change anything.

Han was frustrated. He grabbed her chin and said coldly, “I can’t believe you hate her so much for being with me that you try to kill her multiple times.”

“You are too careless. Did you think you could get away from poisoning her?” he added.

Leah turned her head away. “What poison are you talking about? My lunch date should have been Serena. Anna invited herself to my table and ordered a glass of wine. How could I have planned this and poisoned Anna?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She chuckled. “I have never cared if you want to be with Anna or not. You could side with Anna, but I will not admit to what I have never done.”

Leah had never thought about hurting Anna because of Han. Not during the car crash; not this time when she fainted.

Han was annoyed by the way she looked at him mockingly. He was about to say something when Owen called him. He glared at her, “Leave Anna alone.”

He walked away as he answered the call. Leah sat down on the chair, feeling as if all strength had been sucked away from her body.

The cops arrived and took her to the police station to answer a few questions. “We have no evidence you have poisoned Ms. Lancaster, but someone reported you for having a history of hurting her in the past. You cannot leave until our investigations show you are innocent.”

Leah said nothing. She had given up. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at the rainy sky outside the window.

Afterward, Lucy got the news and asked Shawn to bail Leah out. Shawn sent Leah back to Wisteria Court that evening. As he stopped his car, he looked at Leah and said, “I am sorry you are not doing well without me by your side, Sarah.”

“Why don’t we get back together?” He suggested, “Give me another chance, and I promise you we will live happily forever after.”

Leah simply shook her head. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Shawn sighed and got out of the car with her, “It’s okay. Can I at least see Carlotta?”

She did not reject him, because she had promised him he could visit Carlotta whenever he wanted. They entered Wisteria Court together, and someone was taking their pictures, hiding nearby.

Han went to visit Anna in the hospital. Owen was in the room as well, seemingly furious. “Han, what are you doing? How could you let someone else hurt Nana again and again?”

Unfazed, Han remained silent. Owen grew tired of scolding Han. He glared at Han and said, “I heard this woman, Sarah White, was there every time Nana got hurt. She must have something to do with this. You should find her and bring her to me!”

Han stared at Owen with a scowl. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lancaster. I will take care of this.” If Owen had taken this matter into his own hands, Leah would be dead.

Owen smirked. “Don’t try to fool me, Han. This woman is your mistress, and you are trying to protect her, aren’t you?”

Han’s face fell, “Mr. Lancaster, are you saying you don’t trust me? I promised I would take care of Anna, and I intend to keep my promise.”

Anna woke up. She smiled as she heard what Han said. “Han! I am so happy you are here.”

Seeing his daughter was smitten with Han, Owen gave in. He told Han, “Fine, you take care of this matter and get back to Nana as soon as possible.”
