Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 467

Chapter 467 I Can’t Be Mad At You

The doctor continued to explain, "He won't survive tonight if there isn't a miracle."

The doctor's declaration undoubtedly added salt to their wounds on this chilly winter day. Leah experienced a chill throughout her body.

"Tonight…"

Ben had finally managed to get Serena attention. They were starting to develop feelings for one another, yet they needed to face the challenge of being separated by life and death?

Leah was unwilling to see such a tragedy unfold.

Han's expression had now changed to one that was ominous and frightening.

Ross, who was standing next to Han, seemed a little dejected. He cursed, "Those damned Ravensong b*stards had gone so far as to harm our brother, Mr. Hendrik! Should I take some men with me and destroy their lair?"

Han cast a cold glance at him and asked, "Have you found their lair?"

Ross became discouraged and he was at a loss for words. He continued later, "Not yet, but I can't do nothing and watch as they murder one of us!"

Leah's soft voice echoed from the side, "No, Ben would live."

She had a sad smile on her face.

Han noticed Leah was gripping her wrist and he realized right away what she was planning. His pupils shrunk abruptly. He said, "Leah! You can't use that!"

This was the only antidote they currently had for the Ravensong poison. If they gave it to Ben, what would Leah do if she were poisoned in the future?

Although Ben was someone important in their lives, Han had his own interests in mind. He wanted Leah's life to be protected.

Leah knew that Han would refuse her offer. She gently shook her head even though she knew Han would decline her offer.

Leah spoke with a determined expression, "This could mean the difference between life and death. I'll spend the rest of my life feeling guilty if I don't intervene to save Ben. Alfred had died because of me. I don't want to carry the weight where so many of your men have to sacrifice their lives for me."

The weight of life was something too heavy for her to bear.

Han's face turned gloomy as Leah mentioned Alfred. He clenched his fists tightly. When he looked up at Leah again, a tinge of sadness flashed through his eyes. He asked, "Is it a must for you to use that?"

Why did she repeatedly put her own life in danger? I came close to losing her several times. This time, I don't want to lose her again. I might not be able to endure such suffering.

Han's expression was one that Leah hardly ever saw. Her heart ached too, but she firmly replied, "Yes, I want to use this antidote to save Ben."

Serena, Carlotta, and me had all been cared for by Ben. I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

In the end, under Leah’s insistence, the only antidote was given to Ben.

"Thank goodness!"

Seeing that Ben's painful expression was gradually softening. Leah’s eyes had turned red from her agitation.

Thankfully, the antidote worked. Ben is safe. I wouldn't change my mind even if I had to do it again.

Ben's condition had improved when the doctor was about to notify him that he was in a critical condition. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"What is going on? Has something miraculous just happened? Chop chop, he's all right now. Push him back into the operating room now for the subsequent procedure!"

Despite his confusion, he carried out his obligations as a doctor and ordered Ben to return to the operating room for the subsequent treatment after the antidote was given.

Leah exhaled a sigh of relief, but she saw the man next to her still appeared anxious and upset. She took the initiative to walk over and hold his hand. She asked, "Han, are you still mad at me?"

The morning sunlight was drab outside the window. Frost formed on the glass due to the cold air condensation. The bleak winter scene was reflected in Leah's bright pupils.

Han turned his head to one side. He reprimanded and grinned coldly, "How dare I be mad at you? You never consult me before making the decisions that you take. You never think about how I feel."

His sarcastic words silenced Leah, she continued afterward, "It's ok even if the antidote is no longer available. I think you can keep me safe, right?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her soft voice made it impossible for Han to stay angry. However, a strong depressing aura was forming on his face.

"I understand. Go home and rest now."

He gave in once more to Leah in the face of arguments.

"Okay!"

Leah was finally able to return home and get some rest, knowing that Serena and Ben were safe.

She had been awake all night long. She was able to get a good rest when she was lying on the bed. She slept through the day and awoke just before nightfall.

An urgent phone call woke her up.

"Ms. Victor, is something wrong?" She answered the phone.

Susan hurriedly gave her a lengthy speech, "Sarah, I heard that Serena and that guy were hunting by Ravensong. Are they injured? You must keep the antidote I gave you for yourself. You remain Ravensong's primary target!"

She called Leah primarily to warn her against making rash decisions.

Leah pursed her lips. She placed her hand on the chilly window glass after she got out of bed. The look in her eyes was clear and cold. She said, "Uh-huh, I know. Thank you, Ms. Victor. Have you learned anything new about Ravensong?"

Leah subtly changed the topic. Susan's attention was diverted, so she did not give it much thought.

She replied, "I can't find anything about them. The majority of the Ravensong members are unregistered residents who have been trained since they were young and don't belong to any country. Don't worry, I'll be back to help you in a few days."

Susan eagerly anticipated their upcoming reunion.

Leah felt depressed after learning that Serena was being hunted. She had no intention of involving Susan any further.

Therefore, she made an effort to talk Susan out of it, saying, "Ms. Victor, as you are aware, Ravensong is after me. If you continue to stay close to me, you might be targeted as well. I just hope you can find out something about Ravensong from behind the scenes if you can."

Susan interrupted, "Sarah, it’s too polite for you to put it this way. We're friends, it's only right for us to help each other out during difficult times!"

Susan brought up a different subject because she was worried Leah would carry on with this one.

"The design competition's results have been released, Sarah. You came in second place…To be honest, I've seen the competition entries between you and the champion. Fergie's work is good, but it's not as good as yours."

Leah was fairly confident in her work, even though winning and losing are common in competitions. She frowned slightly at the result of the competition.

"After all, she has won three championships. She must possess some abilities. Unfortunately, Dream Designs can no longer benefit from those government policies."

Saying Leah was not disappointed would be a lie. It appeared that her studio still had a ways to go before receiving more recognition.

The contest organizers simultaneously posted the results of the competition online. They were awarded three trophies, including champion, runner-up, and second runner-up. Although many people were surprised by the outcome, it did meet some expectations.

"To be fair, I think Cindy's work is better. Although Miss Fergie is a three-time champion, her work this year is slightly inferior compared to Cindy's."

"This result is too shady, don't you think? Sarah White's work wasn't even enough to qualify her to be the champion?"
