Chapter 20
Meanwhile, Leah was finally near the psychiatric hospital after struggling along the way. No one would
have guessed she would return to the ce she tried to get away from. Exhausted, Leah sat beside the
road to rest her feet. At that moment, a grey car drove by. Ssh. Water on the ground sshed on
Leah. Leah was speechless. When it rained, it poured. Leah sighed. She lifted her sleeves to wipe
away the dirty water on her face. Then, she saw the grey had turned back and stopped beside her.
Leah’s body stiffened. Could that be Han? A familiar voice called Leah when she was about to sneak
away. “Miss Murray, it’s me.” Leah stayed in ce and turned her head in surprise. “Dr. Sanders?” Ian
frowned at Leah’s awkward situation. ” What happened?” “It’s a long story.” Leah gave him a bitter
smile. “Get in the car. I’ll bring you to my ce.” Ian gave it a thought, then opened his car door. Leah
was relieved that Ian did not immediately send her back to the psychiatric hospital. She was exhausted
and famished. So, she decided to trust Ian, at least for now. Both stayed quiet during the ride. Finally,
Ian brought Leah back to his house. He first washed the dirty water away from her head. Then he
changed the gauze on the wound on her head. “Dr. Sanders, can I trust you?” asked Leah hesitantly.
Ian could tell what Leah was worried about from her anxious expression. “Don’t worry. I will not tell Mr.
Howard your whereabouts.” He nodded. So, Leah began to tell Ian every detail of her experience, from
admission to the psychiatric hospital to Molly cornering her till she fell into the sea. Ian stayed silent
after hearing Leah’s story. “I never know Mr. Howard is such a person. So, what’s your n now? You
can’t keep hiding from him,” said Ian, looking at Leah’s pale face. “I don’t know…” Leah shook her
head, looking lost. Ian decided to tell Leah his thoughts after staying quiet for a while. “Actually, Miss
Murray, I found some scars from stic surgeries behind your ears during yourst checkup.” Leah’s
eyes widened. “Impossible! I never had stic surgery.” Also, who would have stic surgery to have
an ordinary face like mine? Ian looked at Leah. “Do you still remember anything from childhood?” Leah
was startled at first, then she frowned. ” I had a car ident and hit my head when I was little. As a
result, I lost all my memory before twelve years old.” She looked at Ian suspiciously. “What are you
thinking, Dr. Sanders?” Ian did not n to keep it from Leah. He took out his phone and showed her
the pictures he had taken before. “Look at his, Miss Murray. These are the scars behind your ears. I did
not make these up. I suspect this has something to do with your identity.” Leah was surprised to see
the scars, but she was not convinced. “Probably the scars came from something that happened when I
was little?” Ian shook his head confidently. “No way! I’m very sure these are scars from stic surgery.
Another reason I’m skeptical about your identity is the diamond shape birthmark on your wrist. I know
someone with the same birthmark, even the position of the birthmark is exactly the same.” Leah lifted
her wrist and looked at it. There it was, the diamond-shaped birthmark. “I have had this birthmark since
I could remember. So, do you mean that my past might have some connection with the person you
know?” “Yes.” Ian smiled and pushed his sses up. “So, Miss Murray, would you like toe with me
to find out about your past?” Leah kept silent. In fact, she had no interest in learning about her past.
Leah had heard stories about her family from her dad. Unfortunately, after he died, she had no other
blood rtives left. Also, Leah hesitated because while she wanted to get away from Han’s radar, she
was hesitant to trust someone she barely knewpletely. After consideration, Leah finally made her
decision. “Alright, I’lle with you.” It would be better to take a chance than do nothing at all.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
