Chapter 275 I Promise
The doctor didn't drop by nor conduct any checks on Han even after Leah returned.
She frowned. "Didn't the doctor come by?"
Han comforted her. "I'm fine. It's just superficial wounds."
Having someone care for him made him feel as if he had previously been living his life in vain.
He took her hand at the sight of her nervous frown. "Alright. Don't worry so much. All that tension isn't
good for the baby."
Leah had recently been rapidly losing weight and Han knew exactly why.
It was because of him.
She forced a smile. They were already down in the dumps and he was still caring for the baby in her
belly?
She couldn't keep acting so selfishly. It was time for her to make her choice.
"Didn't you say you want to be discharged from the hospital? Let me handle the hospitalization
procedures." She pulled her hand away.
If Han wanted to go home, she was going to accompany him home.
She didn't want to waste the last of their time together in the hospital.
After she left the ward, she sat down in a deserted stairway instead of heading to the inpatient
department to go through the formalities.
She dialed Shawn's number.
The call went through on the first ring.
"You've made your choice?" The man's deep voice sounded.
"You won't hurt Han if I leave him?"
Shawn grew irritable at hearing Han's name. His tone was now impatient. "Sure."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was going to show Leah how much better he was compared to Han.
"Give me some time… I…"
He interrupted her before she could finish. "I'm sure my men have made matters clear with you."
Her heart sank. The hand holding her phone hung feebly by her side.
She had no idea what had happened between Shawn and Han in the past but Han was where he was
now because of her. She couldn't just turn a blind eye to it all.
Shawn was patiently waiting for her to make her choice on the other end of the line.
Her voice was hoarse when she finally spoke up. "I'll be at the Ford family mansion tomorrow."
All her strength drained out of her body when she hung up the phone. She could barely remember
making her way to the inpatient department to get Han discharged.
When they got back to the apartment, Han asked, "What's wrong? You seem out of it. Are you ill?"
Leah had seemed off ever since they left the hospital.
Is it because my condition has worsened?
But I'm fine.
She finally came back to her senses and forced herself to hold back the tears threatening to fall.
Perhaps a split was the best decision for the two of them.
She absent-mindedly brushed the tears beading in her eyes away and shook her head to feign being at
ease.
"I'm fine. I was just too preoccupied with my thoughts."
Han took the meal prep away from her. "You should rest. Let me do it."
He had learned how to cook multiple dishes.
She didn't refuse his offer. She washed her hands and sat behind him, watching his busy figure
puttering about the kitchen.
After dinner, Leah proposed they watch a movie together with Han agreeing to it.
She rummaged through all the DVDs they had lying around before her eyes fell on Roman Holiday.
"How about this one?" She turned to him with the box in hand.
Both the hero and heroine didn't end up together in the end but Leah believed they would never forget
one another.
That was her hope for Han; for him to remember her.
Han put the disc into the DVD player as a foreign language filled the room.
Leah curled up on the couch and rested her head against Han's shoulder.
It didn't take long for sleep to claim her.
He lovingly flicked her forehead. "This is such a good movie and you end up falling asleep?"
He wasn't angry with her for falling asleep but instead went back to the bedroom to fetch her a blanket
and stayed by her side.
Leah surreptitiously awoke in the middle of the night to see Han at her side.
He had been accompanying her all this time.
She rubbed her eyes and shot a tired, apologetic glance at Han. "I fell asleep?"
She hadn't expected to sleep through the movie.
Han didn't mince his words. "You were tired."
Leah had spent much of her time in the park with her art stand and coming home to fuss over him while
suffering the reactions brought about by her pregnancy.
Han gently ruffled her hair.
"Alright, you should go get some rest. It's getting late."
He was just about to leave when she clung adamantly to him and refused to let go.
She couldn't let time pass them by when this was all the time she had left with him.
"I want to be with you."
She looked down, blushing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was flabbergasted when he figured out the meaning behind her words.
Since when had she become so forward?
Did something happen to her?
He watched her with a sharp, searching gaze.
"What happened?"
Leah feigned calmness as she nervously clasped her hands behind her.
Han was as sharp as ever and saw through her at a glance.
She smiled sheepishly. "Nothing happened. I just wanted to spend more time with you."
There was a soft look in his eyes.
Leah didn't wait for him to answer her and pushed him right into the bedroom.
"I swear I won't do anything," she said as she carefully arranged the blankets.
She then laid down beside him to hug him close.
When he heard the sound of even breathing next to him, he helplessly shook his head at the sleeping
woman in his arms.
He sent Albert a text to have him investigate what had happened today.
Leah wouldn't be acting this way just because he was beaten up.
There had to be something he didn't know about. His eyes turned as cold as steel.
Early the next morning, Leah got out of bed the moment the sun hit her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
She pressed a soft kiss against the corner of his lips with an apologetic look.
She was once again reneging on their agreement.
After a simple wash, she prepared him breakfast and stood at the door looking ever reluctant. She
didn't want to leave but resolved to shut the door behind her.
