The color drained out of Sunny’s face so fast, like someone poured a pail of cold water on
his head.
Sunny started to panic. He turned and met Han’s cold stare.
“Why, why are you here?” Sunny was stammering.
Han sneered. Then, he ignored Sunny and walked toward Leah instead. His dark eyes
never left her.
In a situation like this, Leah found Han was more safe compared to evil Sunny.
Leah quickly pulled her shirt straight and wanted to go toward Han.
“Stop!” However, Sunny tried to prevent Han from leaving. “Han Howard, she’s mine! You
can’t take her away.”
Han smirked like he heard something funny. “Get lost,” he said.
Han had always been in power. So he did not consider someone like Sunny a threat.
However, he forgot what would happen when one cornered a rat, especially when Sunny’s
intention was exposed.
Sunny knew Han would never let him go easily. So, Sunny could not let Han and Leah
leave the place alive!
During that brief moment, Sunny had planned multiple ways to kill them and pretend it
was an accident.
Han did not pay attention to Sunny and walked toward Leah. That’s why he was startled
when Sunny attacked him.
“Han, watch out!” Leah noticed Sunny’s attack and reminded Han.
Luckily Han was quick and agile. He dodged Sunny’s clumsy attack and threw Sunny over
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis shoulder.
Sunny did not expect a rich man like Han Howard was so good in martial arts.
He lay on the ground in despair.
After throwing Sunny to the ground, Han immediately went to Leah. “I’ll bring you home.”
That was the first thing Han said to Leah.
Han did not ask what happened or even try to comfort Leah. Instead, he said it like that
was the most normal thing in the world.
Suddenly, Leah’s hand was trembling. She looked up at Han.
At that moment, Leah felt so helpless. She wanted to lean on the man in front of her, even
only briefly.
Leah held on to Han’s arm and got up slowly. Then, suddenly, she saw a dark shadow
come up to Han.
In a twisted face, Sunny raised his arm high with a rock in his hand and struck Han with it.
“Han!” Leah screamed.
Han reacted quickly and kicked Sunny on his stomach. Sunny flew ten feet away. However,
the rock still hit Han’s head despite his quick reaction.
Blood dripped down from Han’s head to his nose bridge and onto the ground.
“You are injured.” Leah’s face paled seeing this.
Han did not even flinch, as if he did not feel the pain. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”
Leah pressed her lips together and hesitated.
“What is it? Did I frighten you?” Han frowned slightly.
“No.” Leah shook her head. “Do you want to clean your wound first?”
Han sighed in relief. “No need. Don’t worry. I’ll get you out of here after you get your
things.”
Leah felt her heart clenched.
Han was injured, yet he was worried that his wound might frighten Leah.
“Let’s go.” Han took off his jacket and placed it on Leah.
Leah did not decline because her shirt was in an embarrassing state.
Before they left, Leah looked at Sunny disgustedly. “What should we do about him?”
“Leave him here. I’ll take care of him later. He’s not getting away from this,” said Han.
Leah looked at Han. She never doubted his words. No one could run away from Han, no
matter which corner of the world they ran to.
That included Leah.
Leah wanted to walk, but suddenly she hissed. The pain from her twisted ankle stopped
her from walking.
Han looked at her. “What’s the matter?”
“I sprained my ankle,” said Leah.
Han frowned a little. Then, he stooped down in front of Leah. “Get on me. I’ll carry you.”
Leah did not want to get too close to Han, let alone touch him, but her situation did not
favor her.
“Come on,” Han said again.
After hesitating a moment, Leah bit her lips and got on Han’s back.
Leaning on Han’s strong, muscular back, Leah could not help but feel safe.
Han walked carefully on the uneven ground in the jungle. Sensing Leah’s embarrassment,
Han did not say anything.
Leah listened to Han’s breathing in the silence. “Han Howard, did you come into a deep
jungle to verify my identity?” asked Leah.
Han paused, then he mumbled something that sounded like a “yes”. Then, after a while,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe added “not really”.
Leah waited for his explanation quietly.
“I overheard that man talking to someone in a restaurant. He was plotting something
against you,” said Han.
Leah’s eyes went round when she heard that.
So, Han went into the jungle and was trapped in the mud because he wanted to protect
her.
Suddenly, Leah’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Both went back to the house in silence.
When Leah was back in her room, Serena was still sleeping. Leah woke Serena up after
she got changed.
“Wake up.” Leah shook Serena’s shoulder.
Sunny did not put too much drug in the food because he was afraid of overdosing on
them. Serena finally woke up after Leah called her a few times.
A rooster crowed outside of the window, and the sun was rising. It was dawn.
“Hmm? Cindy, why are you up so early?” Serena’s voice was still raspy.
“We are leaving,” said Leah.
“Leaving? Where to?” Serena was still confused.
“To Linkville.”
Serena was finally awake. She sat up on the bed. “What happened? Why do we need to
leave so suddenly?” She was surprised.
Leah pursed her lips. “I’ll tell you when we are back.”
“Alright.” Serena got up from the bed.
Serena knew Leah was a sensible person, and she would not make such a request if it was
not for something important.
