The doctor and Leah were coaxing Shawn as if they were coaxing a kid. Leah was exhausted.
She felt she was indebted to Han and Shawn in her previous life. Otherwise, she would not have been
tortured by them so much.
The doctor put away the vials and put on his mask. “I’ll send you the examination results in two days.”
Leah nodded. “Thank you!” she said.
After the doctor left, Roman stood up and said, “It’s getting late. Go to bed early. I’ll come to see you
tomorrow.”
However, Leah frowned and sighed, “But Han…”
“Don’t worry. I have already sent my men to look for Mr. Howard. I’ll inform you if I get any news. Don’t
worry too much. I believe Mr. Howard will be fine.” Roman patted Leah’s shoulder. He then caught a
glimpse of Shawn beside her.
Leah was so tired after a long day. It was not suitable to put Shawn under her care. What if Shawn
woke up in the middle of the night and hurt Leah?
Thinking of that, Roman walked toward Shawn and said, “I’ll take care of him for you tonight.”
Leah was very tired. She nodded and replied, “Thank you.”
With that, Roman reached out his hand to Shawn. However, before he could touch Shawn, Shawn was
so shocked that he jumped away. He held Leah’s hand tightly and hid behind her, watching Roman
vigilantly from behind Leah’s back.
Embarrassed, Roman said again, “Shawn, let’s go. I’ll take you to your room.”

Shaking his head violently, Shawn pouted his lips and cried, “No, I want to stay with Leah.” Somehow,
Shawn remembered Leah’s name after hearing her conversation with Roman.
“But Leah is tired. She needs to rest.” Roman frowned. He really did not like Shawn.
Nonetheless, Shawn continued to refuse. “No. I want to sleep with Leah. I won’t go with you!”
Hearing that, Roman was speechless. Although he was gentle, he was a man of his word. Seeing that
Shawn was still holding Leah’s hand tightly, he stepped forward and tried to separate Shawn’s hand
from Leah’s forcibly.
Unexpectedly, Shawn sat down and began to cry.
Seeing that, Leah was dumbfounded.
Roman and Leah had no experience in taking care of children, so they did not know how to handle
Shawn.
With a deep sigh, Leah told Roman to leave. “You can go back first. I’ll comfort him.”
“But what if he hurts you?” Roman frowned and disapproved.
Leah shook her head. “He is only seven years old now. What can he do? Don’t worry. I will protect
myself.”
Hearing that, Roman had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, he added, “I’ll send a bodyguard, and
he will be standing by the door. Call him if you need anything.”
Leah was very grateful for what Roman had done for her.
After Roman left, Shawn stood up from the ground. He sat on the couch with his legs together and
looked at Leah timidly.
With a serious face, Leah ignored Shawn and did not want to talk to him again. Although she did not
want to vent her anger at him, it was because of him that the accident happened. Even if he was only
seven years old now, she was still angry with him.
However, Shawn thought Leah was angry because he cried just now. He sat on the couch quietly like a
child who had done something wrong.
“Leah…” Shawn called her name in a low voice.
Leah raised her head and glanced at him. Her eyes were as calm as the blue seawater.
Meeting her eyes, Shawn panicked and explained in a hurry, “Leah, please don’t be angry with me. I
don’t want to be separated from you. Only you treat me the best. The others are all bad people.”
Hearing that, Leah could not help but frown. She stared at him. “The others are all bad people?”
“Yes!” nodded Shawn at once. He was afraid Leah would not believe him. He quickly continued, “Dad is
a bad person, and that woman is also a bad person. They are all coming after my things, and the uncle
just now was also trying to take you away from me! They are all bad people!”
Leah could not help but narrowed her eyes. She did not expect to hear such things from Shawn.
Shawn had returned to the age of seven. In other words, his father and another woman were bad to
him in his childhood. Besides, it seemed that he felt insecure. Perhaps Leah was the only one who he
trust after she promised to buy him gummy bears.
Leah’s mind went blank. She was so exhausted and had to rubb her temples. She was having a
headache.
“It’s getting late. I have to go to bed,” Leah said and stood up. “You can sleep on the couch tonight.”

Shawn stood up too and followed Leah behind. He looked aggrieved and asked, “So, are you still angry
with me?”
“I’m not angry with you.” Leah had no choice but to answered him.
Hearing that, Shawn’s eyes lit up. “Really? As long as I’m obedient, you won’t leave me alone?”
Huh? What is he talking about? Leah mused.
Nonetheless, Leah was too tired that she did not want to argue. She nodded and went back to her
room before locking the door. She took a shower and changed the bandages on her wounds by herself.
After that, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.
However, she began to have nightmares.
In her dream, Han walked toward her with blood all over his body. He asked her why she did not save
him.
Leah shook her head and explained, “But I can’t find you.”
“You did not look for me at all. You want me to die, right? That’s why you did not even try to look for me.
You’re such a vicious woman!”
“No, it’s not like that.” Leah shook her head, and suddenly, she woke up from her dream.
Leah was sweating. Even though the air conditioner in the bedroom was set at a very low temperature,
she was still perspiring. She looked at the ceiling in a daze. Then, she picked up the phone from the
side, but there was no call from Roman yet.
If Roman did not call her, it meant that he had not found Han yet. It had been two days. How was Han
now?
Leah looked out of the window worriedly. The sun was slowly rising in the morning.
