Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 417

Chapter 417 Contradictions

The sky was dark and it was still raining outside.

Han and Shawn stopped their argument. Leah continued to stay in the hospital for her treatment.

Anna found Han in the evening with a bowl of nutritious soup in her hands. She had learned to cook it recently. “Ethan, I heard from the maid that you didn’t have your dinner. I made this soup for you, drink some.”

After Han packed the documents in the room, he left without looking at her. He did not find anything about the place where the antidote was kept.

A deafening thunder was heard and the windows vibrated with buzzing noises.

Hannah threw the bowl of soup on the floor. She stood in the dim corridor with a scary expression.

“Crash!” The air was filled with the aroma of the soup.

Anna chased Han and grabbed his arms, “Ethan, you said you wanted to marry me. Why are you ignoring me now?”

It was clear that Shawn’s plan to get that woman to marry him was successful. Why he couldn’t look at me for once?

Anna was not willing to accept the fact that Han’s attitude towards her remained the same after Leah left him.

Han shook her hands off, looked at her superiorly, and asked, “Where’s the antidote for Wither Venom?”

He wanted to hold back Oven and find the antidote slowly. However, Hannah was poisoned now. He did not have the patience anymore.

Anna was stunned and bit her lips, “What do you want this for?”

Did he get close to me from the beginning just for the antidote to save that woman?

She was furious with the thought of it.

I will only be at peace when this Leah b*tch is dead!

“It’s none of your business. Just give me the antidote.” Han regained his usual composure as he didn’t want to act with her anymore.

The distance and coldness in his attitude made Anna panic. She shed her pride and looked at the handsome man. “Marry me and I can get you whatever you want…”

She couldn’t lose him. She had never liked someone like this before. She knew she would regret for life if she can’t be with him.

“I want the antidote first,” Han said. He felt that she will not give him the antidote even if he married her.

His attitude made her can’t think straight anymore. She yelled, “Why do you care so much about her? You care so much about her that you would go out of your way to make me an enemy?”

“What exactly did I lack compare to her that you have to trample my dignity again and again?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Anna asked the questions that had been in her heart for a long time.

Han was not interested in her nonsense and he left.

The lights in the corridor went off. Anna was shrouded in the darkness and her intent to kill got stronger. “Since you love that woman so much, I’m going to make her disappear from this world!”

…

It was still raining late at night.

Han returned to the villa and coaxed Carlotta to sleep. After that, he called Ben.

“How’s the investigation?”

“Boss, the situation is not good. Not long ago, someone reported Anna threw away a huge box of things.” Ben said solemnly. “They were being thrown in the river…”

“Go fish them out!” Han ordered and hung up.

His intuition told him the things thrown were not simple. After all, Anna had damaged her reputation with the previous conversation.

Half an hour later, Han came to the river bank.

The waters were ice cold as it was still drizzling in the middle of the night.

“Boss, let them do the work.” Ben grabbed Han anxiously who wanted to go into the river himself.

“The things she had thrown away might not be the antidote. Don’t risk your life!” he added.

The other men wearing professional equipment also persuaded Han, “That’s right, boss. Just let us do the work. Wait for the good news on the bank.”

Han pursed his lips. Leah was still in the hospital. Her life was declining little by little. He couldn’t wait like that without doing anything.

The feeling of the unknown is too terrifying.

In the end, Han did not listen to his men and dived into the river after wearing a pair of goggles. He felt that he could lessen his guilt with his actions even if the antidote couldn’t be found. He brought her to the auction. He didn’t want Leah to leave his side like this even though he had thought of getting back at her. He must find the antidote and save her.

Han and his men searched for two days and finally found a box roughly one mile away downstream. In the box, there’s a small glass bottle. A label written “Antidote for Wither Venom” is on the bottom of it.

“We had found it finally. You haven’t rested for two days, boss. Go and take a nap. I will bring the antidote to Ms. White.” Ben reached out to take the bottle.

Han avoided him and held the bottle tightly. “I’ll go there myself.”

Since the antidote has been found, he is not short of this little rest.

He rushed to the hospital. From the moment Han knew Leah had been poisoned, he had been always frowning. Ben couldn’t bear to look at Han’s skin which turn white from soaking in the river for the past two days.

Boss rarely showed his feelings, but his cold demeanor hid a strong love for Ms. White. He had done a lot for her like protecting her from hostile forces. Although he always said he wanted to get back at her when he met her, he does things contrary to what he said.

Han reached Leah’s ward and fed her the antidote.

“Leah, don’t you just die like that!”

The antidote was in liquid form, it flowed out of the corner of her mouth as soon as he poured it in. Han did not hesitate to pour the medicine into his mouth and fed it to her mouth-to-mouth.

After taking the antidote for half an hour, her suffering seemed to be lessened.

The doctor in charge did a checkup on Leah with some advanced machinery and they were relieved.

“Mr. Howard, Ms. White’s condition is stable now. If she remains stable, she will wake up tomorrow!”

Han ordered Ben to salvage the remaining antidote.

When everyone left, a figure quietly walked into the ward…
