Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 179

Shawn spat out a mouthful of seawater, and his body was shaking violently. After a while, he gradually opened his eyes.

Seeing that Shawn woke up, Leah took a few steps back and stopped about three or four meters away from him. She was ready to run away if something happened.

Shawn was covered in blood. and it seemed that he had more injuries than Leah.

Leah remembered Shawn was still in the car when falling off the road. She did not know how he escaped before getting washed ashore. In fact, he looked more disheveled than she was. Even the blood on his face had coagulated.

Shawn coughed and lay on the beach, gasping for breath.

Leah kept watching Shawn vigilantly.

Not long after, Shawn slowly sat up. He looked around and suddenly fixed his eyes on Leah.

Leah’s heart skipped a beat. She swallowed subconsciously and took two steps back quietly.

Seeing that, a smile appeared on Shawn’s face. He had lost his glasses. However, Leah could see a sense of excitement in his eyes even without the glasses.

Leah could not help but frown. What is he smiling at? she mused.

Shawn kept looking at Leah with a smile, and he seemed different from his usual gloomy expression.

Leah was confused.

Right then, Shawn suddenly stood up. However, as soon as he stood up, he frowned. Then he pursed his lips and said, “Ouch! My legs hurt.”

Hearing that, Leah was dumbfounded. She stared at Shawn in disbelief. Shawn was a tall man but when he puckered his face like that, Leah felt her stomach churn.

However, Shawn was not a bit embarrassed at all. He limped toward Leah and said, “Shawny’s legs are so painful.”

Leah was stunned. What happened in front of her was so unreal. She tried to say something but stopped on second thought. Nevertheless, she muttered, “Shawn, did you hurt your brain or something?”

Hearing that, Shawn knocked on his head. Then he shook his head and answered, “No, my head doesn’t hurt, my legs hurt.”

Looking at the finger-wide wound on Shawn’s forehead, Leah was silent for a moment. Shawn must have suffered a heavy blow when he fell and hit the rocks. It seemed that he was suffering from mental regressing.

Standing a few steps away from him, Leah narrowed her eyes and asked, “How old are you?”

“Shawny is seven years old!” Shawn replied obediently.

“Seven years old?” Leah could not help but gasp. Shawn returns to the age of seven? Could a seven- year-old child have the power to hurt others? Leah wondered. Nevertheless, her top priority was to find Han. As for what happened to Shawn, she could not help but sigh.

“In that case, you’d better follow me. I’ll take you to the hospital when I find Han!” Leah ordered.

Hearing that, Shawn quickly nodded his head. “Okay, I’ll follow you. You’re such a good-hearted and pretty sister.”

“Pretty sister?” The corners of Leah’s mouth twitched. She was speechless when she heard what Shawn called her. The man who was chasing me and wanted me to die just now suddenly turned into a seven-year-old child and called me pretty sister? Leah could not help but exclaim inwardly.

However, Leah still brought Shawn with her as she began to search for Han around the beach. Nonetheless, they did not see Han. Is he not washed ashore like me? she wondered.

The sky turned dark, and Leah was getting worried. She had not seen Han for a day. She had to keep assuring herself that no news was the best news.

With a sigh, Leah decided to take Shawn back first. She would ask Roman for help to look for Han with his men later.

Right then, Shawn was playing on the sand. Leah shouted at him, “Shawn, let’s go.”

Hearing that, Shawn scampered over. “You have ignored me for the whole day.”

Leah was stunned. She did not know how to reply to Shawn after hearing that. She rubbed between her temples as if she had a headache. Leaving the beach, she found a small shop on the side of the road and gave Roman a call. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Roman came in a hurry. When he saw Leah and Shawn in a disheveled state, he could not help but frown. “What happened? Where is Mr. Howard?”

Nonetheless, Leah sighed and said, “Let’s get in the car first.”

In the car, Leah told Roman the whole story. Roman was shocked and looked inexplicably at Shawn, who was sitting on the back seat, playing with his fingers.

After a while, Roman turned around and asked Leah, “Do you need me to call the police?”

Leah shook her head. “Find Han first. As for Shawn, let Han deal with him later.”

Shawn had done so many things. Leah thought she should let Han decide what to do with Shawn later.

”Well, I will send my men to search for Han, but…” Roman’s face darkened. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. The sea was so big, and Han had been missing for a day and a night. He was probably dead by then.

However, Roman did not dare to say that. He sent Leah and Shawn back to the hotel and even called a private doctor to see them.

There were some bruises all over Leah’s body. However, it was not a big problem after applying some ointment. The one who was more serious was Shawn.

“No, no. I don’t want an injection. I’m scared!” Shawn kept dodging away. When the private doctor approached Shawn for the tenth time, he finally lost his patience.

“I can’t do anything if it goes on like this,” the doctor sighed with the needles in his hand.

Hearing that, Leah frowned and glanced at Shawn. What should I do with a seven-year-old kid? she wondered.

After thinking for a while, Leah waved her hand and said, “Shawn, come over here.”

Shawn ran to Leah immediately. “I don’t want an injection,” he cried.

“You’re injured, and there are so many wounds all over your body. Only the doctor can help you so that you can recover quickly,” explained Leah in a soft voice. “Listen to me. If you listen to the doctor. I’ll buy you… gummy bears!” Leah could not believe what she had said.

Unexpectedly, Shawn’s eyes lit up. He lifted Leah’s hand and said happily, “Hooray, I want to eat gummy bears!”

Leah was speechless. Nonetheless, she still patted Shawn on the shoulder and said, “Good boy. I will give you gummy bears later.”

After hearing that, Shawn walked stealthily to the doctor. “Okay, I’ll let you give me a jab now.”
