Chapter 429 This Is It for Us

Han kept a long, steady gaze at Leah. "So, you think I killed her?"

"Think about it, Leah. Would I choose such a roundabout way to kill someone? Would I even let you

catch me in the act?"

Leah paused for a brief moment. There was an indecipherable look in those teary eyes of hers.

She slowly lowered her head and stood there silently for quite some time. It was hard to tell what was

going through her head at that moment.

Shawn moved to stand in between Han and Leah. He snickered, "How would we know what you were

trying to achieve by doing all this? What we can tell from the scene is that your car ran into Lucy, isn't

that right?"

"Mr. Howard, you're a prominent figure in our city, after all. Shouldn't you at least own up to your

mistakes?"

Han cast a stony glance at Shawn. "This conversation isn't going anywhere. I'll see all of you in court."

"Leah, you're still so gullible even after all these years."

Then, Han turned around and got into his car. Ben let out a small sigh and said, "Ms. White, you got it

all wrong this time. It was really Ms. Lucy who rushed toward our car in the first place."

After that, Han and Ben left the place in the same car.

Shawn smirked, "See, Sarah. He ran away because he was scared. Don't worry. Lucy works for my

family. I'll press charges on Han and make sure that he pays for what he's done to Lucy."

Soon, an ambulance arrived at the scene, and the paramedics carefully transferred Lucy into their

vehicle.

Leah had stopped crying. She was about to follow the group into the ambulance when Shawn caught

her wrist. "Sarah, I'll drive you to the hospital. It's stuffy inside the ambulance, so it won't be a

comfortable ride if you go in that."

"Okay." Leah had no choice but to obediently follow his advice.

On the way to the hospital, the sky was getting darker. Leah leaned her head against the car window

as she stared blankly at the passing scenery.

Shawn took a glance in Leah's direction. He started, "Sarah, don't worry. I'm sure Lucy will be alright."

There was a long silence after that.

Leah felt so drained that she could hardly find the strength in her to give a nod in response.

Though I've tried my best not to think about it, the image of Lucy lying in a pool of blood still lingers at

the back of my mind.

Is someone going to die because of me again this time?

Lucy is so young. She shouldn't perish because of someone like me.

Shawn had a dark look in his eyes. After a while, he asked, "Leah, do you resent Han?"

"He might be sent to prison if the court finds him guilty of this. Still, he's the father of your child. You

probably still have…"

Leah interrupted him, "Do what you must."

"I'm only trying to use him all this time."

Shawn could sense Leah's resentment toward Han through her voice.

His lips curled a little. "Alright."

My plan worked wonderfully this time. Sarah will never forgive you for this, Han!

I'll be the one to stay by her side from now on!

When they arrived at the hospital, Leah hurried off to the emergency room first. Shawn sent a text

message to Anna while he was still in the car.

"My plan was a success. It's up to you now whether you could make that man yours."

On the other hand, Leah waited alone outside the emergency room. She had a somber and remorseful

expression on her face.

I know Han didn't run into Lucy with his car. However, I had to react differently because Shawn wanted

this response from me.

I feel terribly sorry and guilty toward Lucy, though. It seems like the people around me keep getting hurt

because of me.

I want to stop this.

For now, I must do whatever it takes to find out the location of Shawn's laboratory.

My heart bleeds when I recall how Han was looking at me coldly just now.

However, I'll bear all this pain if this is what it takes to achieve my purpose.

The operation lasted for the entire night. Finally, it ended at the break of dawn, and Lucy was

transferred to the intensive care unit.

Leah wanted to see Lucy in her ward, but the doctor stopped her. "Miss, you can't enter the ward in the

intensive care unit. The patient is still in critical condition. You might bring in germs or pathogens

harmful to the patient if we let you in."

"For now, please be patient and watch over her from outside."

After the doctor left, Leah could no longer hold back her emotions. Her cheeks were wet as tears

streamed down her face.

She bit her lip hard to suppress her sobs. There was a look of agony and despair in her eyes.

When I see her lying unconsciously in the hospital bed like that, I could almost feel my heart breaking

little by little.

I wish with all my heart to take Lucy's place instead.

However, there are still a lot of things that I have to do. Even death is simply an easy way out for me

now.

Shawn stood in the corridor somewhere not too far away from Leah. He left a while ago to get Leah

some breakfast.

He felt as if a hot knife was driven into his chest when he saw Leah break down in tears.

Is it right for me to do all of this to her?

If I didn't, Sarah would never look in my direction…

He had a cold light in his eyes at the thought of that. Then, he started walking toward Leah.

I won't regret having made this decision.

I'll do whatever it takes to keep Sarah by my side.

"Sarah, you should eat some food now."

Leah took a deep breath and slowly shook her head. Her face was pale. "I don't feel like it. You should

eat first."

Shawn knitted his brows. Then, he grabbed her wrist and took her to the guest lounge.

"You'll make Carlotta worry about you. Who's going to take care of her if you happen to fall sick? What

if you end up getting gastritis?"

He opened a food container as he was saying that.

The smell of meat porridge filled the air instantly. Leah picked up a spoon and started eating the

porridge.

At that very moment, she recalled the porridge Han had made for her.

She curled her lips slightly. The porridge she was having had a savory taste, but inwardly she was

feeling bitter.

He must think that I've had another misunderstanding about him after the incident. He's probably very

disappointed with me.

I guess this is it for us.

In the end, all the people that I love and those who love me will leave me, one after another.

I'll probably have to spend the rest of my life alone by myself.
