Chapter 313
Chapter 313 I Don’t Pity You
It came as a surprise to Leah when Han asked her to foot the payment. Knowing Han was wealthy, why
would he merely want Leah to pay for Anna’s hospital bills? Leah swiftly concealed the look of surprise
in her eyes as she epted me for involving Anna in the collision.
Leah immediately agreed. “Very well. I’ll take care of it.”
Han snatched his coat from the sofa and put it over his shoulders. “I’ll be going then. Take care of
Anna. You know what’ll happen if I hear a word that she’s hurt.”
Feeling abandoned by Han''s concern for Anna, Leah watched as he exited the room. She did not show
her feelings, though, because she was well aware that she did not deserve him either. Meanwhile, as
Han was closing the door, he caught a glimpse of Leah’s look. He paused but quickly returned to his
cool demeanor.
Leah stayed for a long time at the hospital’s sofa to tend to Anna. Besides returning home at times to
check on Carlotta, she spent most of the time in the hospital. Carlotta held onto Leah tightly as her
beautiful eyes started to tear up. Unwilling to part with Leah, she mumbled, “Mommy, it’s been so long
since you’ve slept with me.”
Lucy agreed, “Yes, Ms. White. You’ve been leaving the house early and returning homete.” Lucy was
highly concerned about what Leah was up to that caused her to be out of the house most of the time.
As much as Leah did not want to part with Carlotta either, she pried Carlotta’s arms open and hand her
over to Lucy. Even though Lucy was still curious for an answer, she knew she could not press for an
exnation after seeing that Leah was not interested in giving one. She then took Lucy along to send
Leah to the elevator. As the elevator door closed, Carlotta pouted sadly. Seeing that made Lucy’s heart
melt and she quickly hugged Carlotta as sheforted softly, “Your mommy’s probably busy for a
while, Carlotta. Once she’s done, she’ll spend more time with you, okay?”
After putting Carlotta to sleep, Lucy then reported Leah’s unusual activity to Shawn. Meanwhile, Leah
carefully cleaned Anna’s body and changed her clothes. After tucking Anna to bed, Leah theny on
the sofa to rest. She stared at the white ceiling above as thoughts ran through her mind. Only the
gentle rhythm of Anna’s IV drip and Leah’s slow breath could be heard in the quiet patient room.
Back at Lakeside Vi One, Han noticed his phone vibrated. He sighed heavily before answering the
call. He kept his cool as he smiled and greeted the man appearing on his phone’s screen, “Hello, Mr.
Lancaster.”
Owen, on the other side, was sitting upright as he scanned around Han’s background. When he did not
find the person he was looking for, his already-stern face turned grim. “Where’s Nana?”
Owen lost his wife early in their marriage life but did not remarry for Anna’s sake. Besides dealing with
national affairs, he would prioritize spending time with Anna above all else. Even when Han first got
together with Anna, Owen had recruited individuals to test him out multiple times.
Han replied calmly, “Anna is out shopping. She’ll be back a littlete. You know her, she’s outgoing.”
“Is there a bodyguard with her?” Owen was ultimately concerned for Anna’s safety.
“Alfred is by her side.”
“Then, ask her to give me a call when she’s free.” As soon as Owen finished, he hung up the phone.
Han secretly sighed in relief as he stared at the nk screen. He felt much more rxed, but he knew
that he had to quickly find a way to wake Anna up because something could go wrong the next time
Owen called. If Owen knew that Leah caused the ident, he surely would not let Leah go.
Han swiftly retrieved his coat from his chair and marched down the stairs. It was past midnight by the
time he arrived at the hospital. There was barely anyone at the quiet hallways besides the nurses. As a
nurse was about to greet Han, he gestured for her to stop. Towards the end of the corridor, he could
see that Anna''s room was still well-lit. Han walked quietly to avoid alerting anyone in her room. As he
pushed open the door, he noticed Leah who was curled up on the sofa. He frowned at the sight before
averting his gaze away, pretending to ignore her. Han sat down before Anna’s bed and Leah had
clearly been looking after her very well.
“C-Cold…” Leah mumbled while in a daze as she hugged herself tightly. Han turned to look at her and
without hesitating, he picked her up from the sofa and walked out of the room, which stirred Leah
awake. As soon as her eyes opened, Leah was greeted with Han’s face, which startled her since she
did not expect him to show up.
“What are you doing? Put me down!” Leah pped Han on the shoulder as she eximed angrily. She
waspletely awake after suddenly getting scooped up from the sofa. She was bewildered on what
Han was up to.
Han ignored her and instead tightened his hold on her. He kicked open the door of a patient room next
to Anna’s and threw Leah onto the bed. Han had booked the entire floor of VIP rooms in order to give
Anna the best environment to recuperate. Leah hissed in pain and looked at Han in surprise.
Before Leah could say anything, Han scoffed, “What, are you nning to get pity points from me? Or
from Anna?” he then smiled mockingly. “Too bad, Anna can’t see it and I don’t have any feelings for you
either.”
Leah felt her heart squeezed as she fought back her tears. This was not the time for her to cry. If she
had cried, Han would despise her even more.
With a hushed voice, she replied, “No, I’m not.”
In return, Han had a stern expression, causing Leah to pause before continuing, “I’m really trying my
best to take care of Anna.”
Han nodded without changing his expression. Seeing Leah’s puffy eyes and haggard look, Han already
knew she was telling the truth. He turned away and tossed a document onto the bed.
“Sign this.”

“What’s this?” Leah looked down and asked.
“Read it yourself,” Han simply answered before returning back to Anna’s room.
Owen was not only fond of his daughter, but also of money. The best way to protect Leah was for
Owen to make a lot of money off of the situation.
