Chapter 225
Leah took the cup from Ron and had a sip of water. Then, she slowly shook her head. "It's not him."
Ian and I have never gone that far in our relationship. All we ever did was hold each other's hands.
On the other hand, I just can't bring myself to tell Ron that the father of my child is Shawn.
She continued shaking her head. "Let's not talk about it."
Shawn could sense her reluctance to discuss the matter. He pursed liis lips slightly as he looked at her
pale, ashen face. Then, he changed the topic.
"The doctor said that you were in critical condition earlier and that you should take good care of your
body after this. I think you should stay at home for the time being. I'll send some of my men over to
escort and protect you." Ron tucked the blanket around Leah's shoulders and said matter-of-factly.
Leah replied hesitantly, "Is that absolutely necessary?"
Ron frowned and stopped smiling at that instant. He looked at Leah with a stem expression on liis face.
"Of course it is. Unless you don't mind what happens to your body or the child you're carrying?"
Leah placed her hands over her stomach. Her face seemed to have grown paler. "I get it already."
She might have considered having an abortion at one point. However, once she had made up her mind
to have the baby, she would do anything in her power to keep it safe.
In the afternoon the next day. the doctor came by the ward and advised Leah of what she needed to be
mindful of. Then, he allowed her to be discharged from the hospital.
At the same time, Serena had somewhat found out what had happened to Leah, and she showed up in
her ward that afternoon.
Serena had been rather busy at work lately, so she hadn't gotten in touch with Leah in quite a long
time.
However, since there were a lot of reporters present at the charity auction, those guys got the news of
Leah's incident out almost instantaneously. It was simply a matter of time before Serena learned of it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Cindy. why haven't you told me about what happened?!" Serena admonished her in a raised voice the
minute their eyes met.
Leah replied weakly, "I didn't want to bother you since you seemed quite busy recently."
"Why would you ever be a bother? Regardless of how busy I am, I'll still be able to find a way to offer
you some help. Now’. I only came to know what happened to you after reading the news. Do you truly
consider me as your friend?" Serena grumbled furiously and pouted.
Leah hurriedly grabbed Serena's hands and said in a pleading voice, "Of course I do! I was wrong. I
won't do that ever again."
Serena looked at her pale complexion. Then, she let out a small sigh. "Are you alright? How about your
baby?"
"We're both fine," Leah answered reassuringly.
Serena stared at Leah's stomach with widened eyes. "When did this happen anyway? You even kept
me in the dark all this time!"
Leah glanced briefly at Ron and turned her eyes to Serena again.
Serena noticed the awkward look in her eyes, and she tactfully decided not to press Leah on about the
matter. "Fine. We'll talk about this afterward."
The three of them left the hospital. Ron. who was driving them to Leah's home, started, "I guess you
won't be able to come with me to the racing match this Saturday. Leah."
Leah looked at him apologetically. "Sony."
Ron gave a chuckle while raising his brows. "What's there to be sorry about? You should rest well at
home and wait for my good news. I'll definitely win the race!"
Upon arriving at the White's mansion. Ron frowned as he looked at the sole security guard waiting by
the front gate. He shook liis head. "This won't do. The security measures around this place are too lax.
I'll have some of my men stand guard around your home."
This time, Leah shook her head. "That's too much trouble for you."
I'm not some important, high-ranking individual who needs maximum security to prevent my
assassination...
"At times, you're just too naive." Ron reached out to pat Leah on the head. However, he stopped and
pulled back liis aim when he remembered her weakened condition.
Ron crossed his arms and continued, "You fainted and caused such a huge commotion at Jackson
Lamere's auction event. Do you honestly think that he won't look into tliis? Do you think he'll leave you
alone when he finds out that you and Han are still connected in some way?"
Ron appeared to have assumed that Han was the father of Leah's baby.
Ian and Han were the only ones who had been romantically involved with her before. If Ian isn't the
father, then it must be Han.
Leah pressed her lips together.
Jackson wouldn't go so far as to eliminate me, right?
However, the image of Jackson staring at her with a cold gaze came to Leah's mind. It filled her with
uncertainty.
"Cindy, he's doing tliis for the sake of your safety. You should just accept liis offer!" Serena flashed
Leah a knowing smile and poked lightly into her aim.
Leah gave in eventually. "Alright then."
Ron made a call and summoned several of his men over. After giving out the necessary instructions,
Ron finally left Leah's place.
At the same time, Han woke up on a hospital bed in an emergency room.
A doctor was trying to connect the drip to Han's hand when he spotted the man on the bed slowly
opening liis eyes.
It gave the doctor quite a shock that he almost dropped the needle in liis hand.
"Um... Mr. Howard? You're awake?" The doctor asked cautiously, "Do you want me to get your family
members in here?"
Han turned his head and slowly looked around. It took him more than thirty seconds to register where
he was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No." Han replied fiimly.
He clenched his fists slightly and closed liis eyes. The sight of Leah lying on the floor in a bloodied
state came to liis mind almost immediately.
"Is everything alright with my body?" Han directed liis gaze toward the doctor and asked flatly.
Despite feeling slightly intimidated by liis gaze, the doctor replied truthfully. "There's nothing wrong with
your health. You've probably fainted because you've been through a psychological shock..."
The doctor's eyes widened in surprise the next instant. He stared at Han with an incredulous look in liis
eyes and asked, "Mr. Howard, have you regained your memories?"
Han's eyes hardened slightly as a crease formed between liis brows. He shot the doctor a warning
look.
The doctor felt liis heart miss a beat.
Han instructed in a cold, steely voice. "Do not tell anyone that I've regained my memories."
"Not even Mr. Lamere and Ms. Molly..." The doctor asked with caution.
Han's eyes narrowed as he met the doctor's gaze.
The latter hurriedly lowered his head and answered. "Understood. Mr. Howard."
A while later, the doctor exited the emergency room to find Molly and Jackson by the door. Molly
quickly walked up to him and asked, "Doctor, is Han alright?"
"Mr. Howard is fine." The doctor had a mask on, so the pair could not see liis expression. "He's been
through some psychological shock, and now he's stabilized."
Molly's eyes gleamed with a malicious light.
It's all that b*tch, Sarah's fault!
Molly hurriedly asked in an anxious voice, "Did Han regain some of liis memories? Has he said
anything?"
The doctor could almost see the expression in Han's eyes before him again.
Han Howard is an even more dangerous man as compared to the members of the Lamere family.
He shook his head fiimly and said, "No."
