Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 23

lan sent Leah and Mrs. White’s hair for a paternity test in the morning. The result finally came out in the afternoon.

Their DNA was 99.99% of a perfect match, which meant they were related.

lan was relieved when he received the report. As long as he had the DNA report, he could help Leah to find her true identity.

When lan arrived home cheerfully with the DNA report, he could not find Leah anywhere in the house.

“Where’s the lady I brought home yesterday?” lan asked one of the maids. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The maid shook her head in confusion. “Miss Murray said she was going out to buy something. She is not back yet.”

“When did she go out?”

“Around ten o’clock in the morning.”

lan looked at his watch. It was four o’clock in the afternoon, which meant Leah had been out for six hours.

lan suddenly felt uneasy.

He had reminded Leah not to leave the house because Han might be looking for her. Probably, Han had found out Leah had been staying at lan’s place and kidnapped her when lan was out

lan could not even think about how Han would torture Leah when she was back.

“I’m going out,” said lan before he left hurriedly for the Howard residence.

Meanwhile, Han was having dinner at the Lamere residence.

At the dining table, Molly looked at Han adoringly. She placed some dishes on Han’s plate. “Have some more. You have been working hard today.”

Mrs. Lamere smiled. “Molly, you finally know how to take care of others. But why didn’t you take care of your daddy?”

“Mum!” said Molly coyly. “Daddy has you to take care of him. And I’m going to marry Han and take care of him forever.”

On the other hand, Han did not respond, like he did not hear any of the conversations. He looked up and saw Jackson looking at him.

“Speaking of which, the engagement party was ruined by that crazy woman. So, Han, when do you plan to have another party as a replacement?” asked Jackson with a smile.

Han froze for a bit and frowned a little. “I’m swamped lately. Maybe later then.”

Hearing Han’s words, Jackson’s smile faded. He did not say another word.

After dinner, Jackson went to Han. “I have something to show you. Follow me to the library.”

Once they entered the library, Jackson’s friendliness disappeared.

He sat behind his study table. “Do you plan to go against your own promise?” he narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

“No, I don’t. I’m just too busy lately,” said Han with an icy expression.

“Don’t you dare to think I don’t know your trick!” Jackson slammed his hands on the study table loudly. “I only

agreed to keep that incident down because you promised to marry Molly. I will destroy you and that woman if you go against your words!”

Molly, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was startled by the loud noise.

She could not hear anything else. But, the door opened abruptly from inside when she wanted to listen more.

It was Han. He gave Molly a cold stare that sent a chill down her spine.

“I just want to bring you some snacks.” Molly was trembling inside.

Han could have killed her with a look.

“No, thank you. I need to go back to the office for some work.” Han finally returned to his usual icy attitude.

In the car, Han rubbed between his brows tiredly again.

He had not slept for a day. Then, his mood became worse because of what Jackson said.

Ben drove Han back to the Howard residence without a word. Then, when they were about to reach the mansion, Ben suddenly hit the car’s brake.

Han was alert and opened his eyes. “What happened?”

“Mr. Howard, someone jumped in front of the car.” Ben was drenched in cold sweats.

Han narrowed his eyes. “Drive!” he said in a cold, cruel tone.

“But…”

“Just drive! I’d take care of it if someone died!”

His mood was already terrible. How dare someone try to seek death in front of him?

Ben quickly started the car. He feared Han might shift his anger to him if he was too slow.

“Han Howard! Get out of the car!” Someone banged on the car window.

Han turned and looked. His eyes met with lan’s eyes, which were blazed with anger.

Isn’t this the man… no, the doctor at the psychiatric hospital?

Han could vaguely remember this man was quite close to Leah.

His face stiffened when he thought of Leah.

Han lowered the window. “Anything?” he asked flatly.

Suddenly, lan struck Han with his fist. Han moved slightly to the side, and it missed.

“What the hell?”

“Han Howard! You cold–blooded bastard! Don’t you know how weak Leah’s body is? Why can’t you just let her go?” lan was devastated. He knew that he could never defeat this man.

Han was quick to catch the keyword in lan’s sentence. “Leah? Did you see her?”

“Stop playing dumb! Didn’t you kidnap her from my place? Let me tell you, she’s not just anyone. She’s …

“She’s at your place?” Han interrupted lan. “Bring me to her.”

I knew it. That woman would never die this easily.

lan’s expression turned from angry to confused.

“You didn’t kidnap her?” asked lan after gaping for a while.

“Why do you think I need to kidnap her?” Han smirked.

That woman is my pet. She would crawl back to me with a wave of my hand.

She will never leave me.

lan’s expression became complicated. “I apologize. I thought you kidnapped Leah. I am afraid there is a misunderstanding.”

Then, lan turned and left with his car.

“Mr. Howard, should we follow him?” Ben asked.

“Let’s go! I want to know what that woman is thinking!” Han clenched his fists.

Not only did Leah not come back to Han when she escaped from Molly, but she also went to a man whom she only met a few times.

What game is this woman playing?

Leah woke up from pain. Something was crushing her left palm, and the pain spread through her body.

“Argh!”

Leah let out a painful scream, drenching in cold sweats.

“Oh! Here you are. I thought you would never feel pain.” an eerie female voice came from above her head.

Leah opened her eyes with great difficulty. Molly’s delirious face was right in front of her.

“You… Why…” said Leah weakly, in a hoarse voice.
