Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 9

“Han, It’ll be our engagement in a couple of days. Can you invite Ms. Murray to attend our banquet?” Molly took his arm as soon as Han walked over. Her eyes filled with admiration. Han squinted his eyes. “Why?” Molly pretended to look melodramatic. “To be honest, I was thinking about Ms. Murray’s well- being. She lost her mind because of you. If she attends the banquet, she might get stimulated and return to normal.” Molly had not given up hope. However, Han was not deceived by her lies. Although he did not know what Molly’s objective was, he knew something bad would happen if Leah were to attend the banquet. He did not deny Molly’s request because it was impossible for him to help Leah. After a moment, he grinned and said, “As long as you’re happy.” … Leah had been feeling empty ever since Han left. She had no authority or financial support, and she did not even have family members to rely on. Not even the Howard family or the Lamere family would help her. She had always been on her own. Moreover, there was a nurse who picked on her particularly. It was only after she realized that she was overthinking. Leah no longer needed to be locked in her room all day, and she could leave the hospital whenever she pleased as the nurse who hit her was fired. Nevertheless, it was a good sign, although she could not leave the psychiatric hospital. Leah overheard a conversation between two nurses as she was heading to the bathroom. “Hey, have you heard? There’s a new doctor in our hospital. I’ve heard that he’s an expert in psychiatry, and he won several international awards.” “Wow, that’s pretty amazing! Is he good-looking?” “He is handsome, but I still think Mr. Howard looks better. I’m so envious of Ms. Lamere, they truly are a match made in heaven.” As the laughter faded, Leah came out of the bathroom in a trance. She felt her heart wrenching. Placing her palm over her chest, she chuckled to herself. Forget about him, he’s not worth it. He’s not worth anything. She understood the truth, but she still felt bad. She had been trapped in this place and treated as a lunatic. However, that man was still out there, holding another woman in his arms. Leah felt extremely depressed as though she were trapped in a big net. This made her feel suffocated. She never had good health to begin with as she was sent to the psychiatric hospital right after her miscarriage. After days of mental stimulation and unfair treatment, she collapsed. She had a 102-degree fever. The new doctor, Dr. Sanders gave Leah a series of diagnoses and treatments that night. He found a brown diamond- shaped birthmark on her wrist while examining her. His eyes flashed in surprise, though it was only for

a split second. After several injections and infusions, Leah’s high fever slowly subsided. Before leaving, Dr. Sanders gave her a thoughtful look. The unconscious woman knew nothing about it.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
