Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 182

For some reason, Leah felt her heart thumping when she heard the voice.

She turned around slowly and followed the source of the voice. Her eyes narrowed.

Not far from them, a young man and a young woman were walking toward them on the cement road. The young woman was wearing a dress with a floral pattern. Her face looked rather ordinary, with an innocent smile on it.

However, the man in a grey T-shirt… wasn’t that Han?

Smiles reappeared on Leah’s face. She ran forward. “Han Howard, I finally found you! We have been…”

Her smile froze before she finished her sentence.

Han walked past Leah with a cold expression, ignoring Leah without looking at her even for a second.

All the while, Han’s eyes were on the woman walking by his side.

Leah’s expression hardened. She turned and grabbed Han’s wrist. “Han Howard, what’s wrong with you?”

Finally, Han placed his gaze on Leah.

However, he swiped away Leah’s hand after taking a look at her.

Leah went pale. She was sure she had found Han, but he looked at her like she was a stranger.

The next thing that came out of Han’s mouth confirmed her suspicion. “Who are you?”

“What’s the matter?” Roman was pleased to see Han was alive. However, he realized something was not quite right when he saw Han ignoring them.

He looks like he has amnesia…

Roman looked at Shawn. Could Han have hurt his head and lost his memory too, like Shawn?

However, Han’s situation seemed less severe than Shawn’s.

Leah thought the same too. “I’m Sarah White. We went to Dawnville together for work. Do you remember it?” Leah frowned gently.

Han looked at Leah in confusion.

He still gave out an authoritative aura even when he lost his memory.

“No,” said Han flatly.

“That’s fine. I’ll bring you back and see a doctor. You’ll get well in no time,” said Leah as she grabbed Han’s hand.

However, Leah’s hand was blocked by another hand.

It was the woman who talked to Han.

The woman looked at Leah warily. “Back to where? This is his home. Also, his name is Lee, and he is not the man you are looking for.”

Leah narrowed her eyes.

Why does this woman stopping me from bringing Han home?

What if his head injury is too severe to recover his memory?

“His name is Han Howard, the CEO of the Howard Group. Do you know how much loss the company is suffering if you keep him here?” said Leah coldly.

The woman paled. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

After a while, she moved her lips. “Stop bluffing. Lee will not go with you.” Unfortunately, her sound did not sound convincing.

She turned and looked at Han. “Am I right, Lee?” she asked hesitantly.

Han shifted his gaze from Leah and stopped at the woman.

Leah thought she felt that the gaze Han gave to the woman was gentler.

Han finally nodded after a while.

Leah’s expression became even harder.

She did not know what happened after Han lost his memory. She also could not understand how the woman got Han’s affection.

Han turned and looked at Leah. “Please go. I will not leave with you.”

“Why?” Leah could not understand.

Han looked at her coldly. “None of your business.”

Then, he left with the woman.

Leah wanted to chase after Han, but Roman grabbed her arm and shook his head. “It will not help with the situation even if you chase him. It will only make him hate you. I think we better ask others about what had happened.”

Leah agreed with Roman. She was too impatient.

She sighed and nodded.

Three of them followed the cement road on their way back. As they were walking, a woman, who was cracking pumpkin seeds, suddenly appeared.

She was wearing a blue dress with long braided dark hair. “Are you the one who came to look for the man who came to our village a few days ago?” she asked Leah.

Leah and Roman looked at each other.

“Yes, Ma’am.” Roman nodded with a smile. “Can you tell us more about it?”

Roman’s smile could melt an iceberg. The woman was immediately captured by his charm.

She threw the pumpkin seeds shells on the floor and spat. “I was very sure the man must be someone affluent and important. Someone would come and look for him eventually. However, Maria wouldn’t call the police yet. Instead, she insisted on keeping him by her side, saying she might be able to get some rewards later.”

“Maria?” Leah asked.

The woman nodded. “Yes, Maria Adkins, the woman you saw just now. She is my sister-in-law. I remember she saved the man from the sea two days ago.”

The woman in a blue dress was Maria’s brother’s wife.

They finally found some clues.

“Ma’am, do you know what happened?” Leah quickly asked.

“Err…” The woman hesitated.

Leah took out five hundred dollars from her purse and put it in the woman’s hand. “Is this enough?”

The woman’s eyes lit up. I knew it! She is rich!

“Yes. Yes.” She quickly thanked Leah.

Then, she brought the three of them to some wooden chairs under a tree and sat down. “Two days ago, Maria brought home the man she saved from the sea and took care of him the whole night. She fed him a lot of medicine, making her brother angry,” said the woman.

“In the middle of the night, the man started to have a fever. Then, he started to moan something that sounded like ‘Lee’. So, Maria thought that was his name and called him Lee,” the woman recalled as she was munching on the pumpkin seeds.

“I discussed it with my husband. We thought that the man looked like a wealthy man. His family might reward us if we send him to the police station. However, that bitch fell in love with him, and she refused to send him away. Her brother had no choice but warned her that the man might leave after he was awake.”

“Well, the man is now awake, but he seems to have lost his memory. So we couldn’t get any information out of him.”
