Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 33

Gordon investigated Leah’s past when she was still lying on the bed. However, to Gordon’s surprise, he only found out very little information.

“What happened to you before?” Leah was badly injured the night she was found.

Leah swallowed hard and glanced at Sasha. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Sasha was observant. Seeing Leah’s expression, she quickly stood up and said, “I’m going downstairs to have breakfast.” She then left the room and closed the door.

After Sasha left, Leah told Gordon and Jane what happened to her. Although Gordon and Jane were strangers, she felt she had known them for a long time.

Tears welled up in Jane’s eyes. Perhaps it was because of sympathy that Jane held Leah’s hands. “You have suffered a lot. If we can find you earlier, you might not have to suffer so much.”

“No. I’m the one to blame,” replied Leah with a bitter smile. If she had not fallen in love with Han and insisted on marrying him, all those tragedies would not have happened.

“But…” Gordon frowned. Although he felt sorry for Leah, he had to encourage her to get a grip of herself. “If you are really our daughter, you can’t hide forever.”

“But what should we do?” Jane could not help but sigh.

Hearing that, Leah remained silent. She had never thought she would have anything to do with the White family. In fact, she only heard about them from Han in the past. Although Han was a cold person, he was close to the White family. According to the nanny who took care of Han, Gordon fostered him when he was driven out by his stepmother.

Right then, Jane’s eyes lit up.

“Gordon, Ian said Leah had plastic surgery after her face was disfigured, right? Maybe we can find the best doctor to restore her original appearance?”

Hearing that, Gordon narrowed his eyes. However, it sounded like a good idea.

“Leah, what do you think?” Jane asked.

A glimmer of hope appeared on Leah’s face. “Can I really do that?” She was willing to do anything to extricate herself from Han.

The next five months passed in the blink of an eye.

“Sarah, be careful.”

A girl in a white dress dashed out to the street. She then crouched down and carried a cat in her hand to the side of the road.

Jane walked over and touched the girl’s forehead. “Sarah, you shouldn’t cross the road like that. It is very dangerous.”

“I’m alright. Don’t worry,” the girl answered as she raised her head. She had bright black eyes, which were as pure as obsidian. Her nose was high, and her lips were cherry red. She looked very beautiful.

The girl was Leah. However, she had changed her name to Sarah White. Five months ago, the White family took her abroad. They hired the best plastic surgery team and restored her face to her previous appearance according to bone analysis.

Leah had to undergo numerous operations, and she had been living abroad for that period. She only finished her treatment a week ago.

At the moment when the gauze was removed, everyone was stunned, especially Jane and Gordon. Leah resembled Jane a lot. Her eyes were pure and looked almost like Jane’s.

A week had passed, but every time the White family saw Sarah, they were still confused. If Gordon did not insist on investigating, Jane would have believed Sarah was really their daughter.

“Well, let’s go back now. Sasha said your dad had come back from the business trip and brought you gifts,” Jane said with a smile.

Hearing that, Sarah felt awkward. It was still strange calling Gordon as “Dad.”

The White family treated Sarah well. Even when they had not found out the truth, they treated her as if she was their own daughter.

Sarah smiled. In fact, those five months were the happiest times she had for many years. She walked toward Jane and held her hand.

Right then, the cat that she had saved meowed and ran to the middle of the road again.

Seeing that, Sarah dashed out without hesitation.

The cat stopped in the middle of the road, making a car screeched to a halt.

“Sarah, watch out!” Jane shouted.

Sarah quickly picked up the cat from the ground and turned her head instinctively. She looked into a man’s eyes behind the windshield, and his gaze sent shivers down her spine.

Immediately, Sarah trembled and fell to the ground. She turned around immediately, trying to cover her face with her hair.

However, it was too late.

The car door opened, and a man wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out. He walked toward Sarah and reached out his hand to her. “Are you okay?” he asked. His hands were bony and slender, like a priceless sculpture.

It was Han.

“I’m fine,” Sarah answered in a hurry. She then stood up with the cat and ran to Jane. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jane was shocked when she saw Han too. She knew the relationship between Han and Leah in the past. She was anxious and quickly walked over to protect Sarah.

However, Han was not paying attention. It was as if Sarah was a stranger to him. However, as soon as he saw Jane, he greeted her immediately, “Mrs. White.”

“Oh, it’s you, Han. I was scared to death just now,” Jane quickly replied with a smile.

Han nodded. “Be careful next time. I shall make a move first. I have something urgent to attend to.”

Hearing that, Jane quickly replied, “Sure. Go ahead.”

Han then turned around and left without a second thought. He did not even take a look at Sarah again.

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. However, she could not help glancing at Han. They had not seen each other for five months, and it seemed that Han’s eyes looked even colder. She also wondered if Han engaged Molly.

Suddenly, Jane thought of something and said, “By the way, Han, Gordon is going to host a party at home at the end of this month. Will you attend it?”

Hearing that, Han stopped and turned around subconsciously. He then looked into Sarah’s eyes.

Sarah was stupefied. Her eyes were full of complicated emotions.
