Chapter 442 No Longer Return to the Past
Leah did not understand. She buried her doubts deep inside her. She thought it would not be for love. After how she ruined him, there was no way he still loved her.
As Han said previously, it was just for revenge.
After being soaked in the freezing water, she finally got a fever when she was brought back to Villa Victoria.
Han called a private doctor to give her an IV drip. Serena saw how gloomy Han was and quickly approached him to tell him she would take care of her, “Mr. Howard, thank you for bringing Sarah back. Just leave the rest to me…”
“Get out.”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Han. Serena was shocked. It took her a while to realize she was being chased away.
Serena looked at Leah on the bed worriedly, “Sarah still needs someone to take care of her at night…”
Since Han rescued her from Shawn, he couldn’t leave her here when she was having a fever. “I will stay here.” Han approached Leah’s bed and put his hand on Leah’s burning forehead.
Han was really worried about Leah since she defied him when he asked her to stay at home.
When Serena saw how gentle Han was, she was stunned by what was happening.
When they met him as Hendrik, she realized how much he liked Leah. Now that the fake identity had been exposed, he just decided not to pretend anymore.
Serena quickly went out and left both of them inside. She was happy to see both of them still love each other after so many years. She only hoped they could be more honest with each other, so she no longer had to be worried for them.
Leah woke up in the afternoon the next day and locked eyes with Han.
She sat up immediately and asked, “You… What do you want?”
Han sneered, “Is that what I get for taking care of you the whole night?” Han was annoyed at how he was treated. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Leah was stunned, “You have been taking care of me the whole night?”
Leah wondered why Han would take care of her. She had forgotten everything that happened after he rescued her. Besides, Serena was there. She should be the one who should take care of her instead.
Han ignored her. He was going to leave and said, “Now that you’re fine, come and eat.”
Leah’s heart was beating faster and faster. She jumped out of bed quickly. There was one thing she needed to be sure of.
“Do you like me?” She tugged on Han’s sleeves and stared at him.
She could not get along with Han with her complicated feelings anymore. Even if he hated her, she needed to know. However, Han’s actions did not feel like he hated her.
Han was shocked. He turned around and said to Leah, “Say it again.”
Leah was very nervous. However, she still looked into Han’s eyes and asked him seriously, “Do you like me?”
Compared to her calm appearance, her palms were sweaty. She did not know how to describe her emotions then. She was nervous and afraid, yet she was expecting something.
Han’s pause felt like a decade.
“That’s right.” When Han admitted his feelings for her, Leah felt it was surreal. She was stunned and speechless. All she could hear was her own heartbeat.
“Why? Is it surprising for you?” Han teased, “Do you think you can fool around for so long if I don’t like you?”
Leah had always been doing foolish things. Without Han protecting her from the shadows, she would have already been dead.
This time, Leah realized the truth. Han finally admitted that he liked her.
Her blood was boiling, and her head was spinning. However, she remained silent.
It was a result that was surprising yet within expectations.
“Didn’t you say it was to take revenge on me for making you lose everything?” Leah’s gaze shifted as he said that.
Han found what she said funny, “Do you believe everything I say? I used to beg you to live with me. I told you so many things sincerely, yet you chose to ignore them all. Instead, you remember every word I said about hating you.”
Leah felt upset. She had complicated emotions. How she treated him was due to wanting to get revenge for how he tortured her during their marriage.
However, the proud man no longer had anything left because of her. Even so, Leah wondered if he would still love her.
When she heard him admit it in person, she did not feel as happy as she imagined she would be. Instead, she felt like crying.
In Leah’s opinion, Han was a cold man. She wondered if he would really love someone that much.
After seeing Leah saying nothing for some time, Han lifted Leah’s chin and forced her to look directly at him.
“You are not as foolish as I thought. I thought you won’t notice it forever.” Han was talking about Leah asking him whether he liked her.
“Now that you know about my feelings, what do you plan to do?” Han broke the silence once again.
The choice was Leah’s. She looked at him for some time before pushing away his hand that was grasping her chin, “We are living our own separate lives now. Let’s keep it that way.”
“I will return the 70 million dollars to you as soon as possible.”
She did like him but that’s all. She never thought about having a future with him.
Leah also felt guilty about how she made him suffer right now. She was sure Han would not be able to love her unconditionally. Many things had happened and they could no longer return to how they were before when they first met each other…
