Chapter 10


    Leah’s face was pale and her eyes were closed tightly. It was as if she was going through something


    incredibly agonizing. She had nightmares again. In her dream, she was trapped in a car surrounded by


    mes. The thick smoke choked her and the narrow space suffocated her. Tongues of me burned


    her face as she yelled in agony. It was dawn when she woke up from her nightmare. When Leah


    opened her eyes, she saw Han sitting on a chair while smoking a cigarette. His back faced her, and


    there were several cigarette butts on the ground. She was startled for a moment, then shut her eyes


    and ignored him. Han already knew that she was awake after he saw her reflection through the ss


    window. He stepped on the cigarette and turned around. He stared at the frail woman lying in the


    hospital bed. “Open your eyes.” His tone was stern. He never asked her if she had any opinions and


    never allowed her to have one either. Leah had no choice but to open her eyes and look at him. He no


    longer had the brilliant eyes he had before. His eyes were clouded, and she could no longer find the


    brightness in them. Looking at her pale appearance, Han felt depressed. His tone was cold. “Are you


    done causing trouble for everyone?” Leah had no expression. She did not even want to look at him.


    Han’s face turned gloomy in an instant, he leaned over and grabbed her chin. “I told you to answer me.


    Did you hear me?” Leah did not frown even though her jaw hurt. She still did not give him any


    expressions. Han chuckled and looked at her in anger. “You’re getting bolder these days.” Her eyes


    were cold and lifeless. Han was slightly stunned and remembered what Dr. Steadman said all of a


    sudden. “The patient is depressed and stressed out. If you’re not careful, she might have suicidal


    thoughts.” Han did not understand why he was nervous. When the hospital called to inform him that


    Leah got into an ident, the thought of her being close to death made him feel suffocated and he


    could not breathe well. The atmosphere froze. Leah finally said something after a while. “Why don’t you


    leave, Mr. Howard? I must be an eyesore to you.” It was at that moment when Han realized that Leah


    hated him to death, but how dare she? What right did she have to hate him? He should be the one to


    hate her. It was all her fault that he had to bear her pain. This was only the beginning of his revenge.


    Han nced at her coldly, as if his astonishment earlier was just an illusion. He stood up and looked at


    her condescendingly. “You’re right. The more I look at you, the filthier I feel.” He took out a cigarette


    and lit it up. “Molly wants you to attend our engagement banquet. Although I despise you, I can only goCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    along with it since it’s her request.” Leah tilted her head in disbelief. She was wondering if she had


    heard him right. “What… what did you say?” Han’s face was reflected in her eyes. Leah’s eyes became


    bloodshot. She clenched her fists tightly and her breathing began to be rapid. Her body was trembling.


    “Han Howard, you’re humiliating me because you want to please that woman?” Molly knew that Leah


    liked him, and wanted Leah to watch him get engaged to her. He was wicked. Leah felt as if her heart


    was sliced into pieces.
