Chapter 469 Passersby Of Life

Leah and Han arrived at the hospital at nine o'clock in the evening.

"Phew!" Leah exhaled in relief as she entered the hospital's cozy air conditioning after leaving the

freezing outdoors.

She massaged her numb and cold hands. After that, she put them in Han's pocket. She inquired as she

smiled up at him, "Mr. Howard, you don't mind, do you?"

Han rarely caught her acting so naughty and mischievous. He could not take his eyes off her. He let out

a smile and replied, "I don't mind."

He kind of hoped Leah would be happy and at ease all the time. Something between them appeared to

be gradually changing in secret. As they made their way into Serena's ward, the two laughed and

chatted.

Serena was shocked by how well they got along while lying in bed in the hospital. She stared blankly at

the two.

She suddenly changed the words she was going to say to something else. She asked, "You guys…I

haven't seen you two in just one day. How did you two get along so well?"

Serena thought to herself, did something happen during the Qustraebar trip to bring them closer? Just

like my relationship with Ben, I guessed I can no longer ignore that guy.

When she thought of Ben, she panicked. She inquired, "In any case, how is Mr. Wright doing? I recall

him getting hurt while defending me. Those daggers from Ravensong were poisoned, correct? Is he

alright?"

Leah teased Serena when she noticed how worried she appeared, "He's fine. You don’t have to worry

that much about him. Most of his injuries are superficial. He'll be healed in a month or so."

Serena was finally relieved. She then realized that Leah was making fun of her. She blushed and

retorted, "Well, Sarah, you're making fun of me because you've found someone to support you, right?"

Han excused himself to answer a call outside while the girls were chatting excitedly.

Serena became intrigued by their gossip after Han left.

She beckoned Leah to sit by her bed and warmly took her hand. She teased, "Now tell me. How far

along is your relationship with Han? Did you obtain a marriage license behind my back in secret?"

Leah's fair cheeks were blushing. She said, "Not really. Simply put, being around him makes me feel

relaxed and at ease. How about you? What are your plans for saying "thank you" to Ben when he

recovers? Ben has saved your life."

Leah had become familiar with Han's cunning ways of handling situations after spending a lot of time

with him. She redirected the topic back to Serena with ease.

"I…Maybe I should buy him dinner?"

It worked to divert Serena's attention. She began to think while using her hand to support her chin.

Leah raised an eyebrow and asked, "I'm worried that won't be sufficient. After dinner, what plans do

you have? Do you still feel the same way about him?"

"Well…"

The glass window kept the cold winter wind outside. The girls had a heart-to-heart conversation inside

the warm and comfortable hospital ward.

It was unknown when Han finished his call, but he was now leaning against the door frame, watching

Leah chat happily with adoration. The warm and bright light gently fell on Leah’s fair face, adding a

touch of the soft and dreamy veil to her whole being.

"Thump!"

Han’s heart suddenly pounded heavily.

Leah’s bright and beautiful smile was deeply etched into his mind. Han thought he would never forget

this moment for the rest of his life.

Leah wanted to talk even though it was getting late. Han stepped forward to take Leah away. He said,

"We should go now."

Han reached out his hand to wrap Leah’s soft hand in his. He put her hand naturally into his coat

pocket. Then, he freed his hand to hold Leah’s waist as they walked out of the room.

Leah waved back at her friend. She said, "Serena, the doctor advised you to take one more day of rest.

You may be allowed to leave tomorrow if your condition is good. I'll come to pick you up then."

Serena gaped in shock as she looked at the two. She was trembling, pointing at their departing figures.

It doesn't matter whether I'll be discharged or not; what matters right now is…when their relationship

started to get so good.

She grumbled, "You guys…are you even human? How could you show off your affection to a hospital

patient?"

The ice that had been between Han and Leah had melted. Soon, something good was going to

happen.

Serena was undoubtedly happy for her best friend to find happiness. On the other hand, she felt

restless and unsure of what to do when she thought of Ben, the man who was badly hurt while

attempting to save her.

"Doctor, please take me to see Ben. He’s been hospitalized with me."

Serena struggled to get to sleep. Therefore, she asked the doctor to take her to Ben's ward. She was

not permitted to enter the room to see him, only to stand outside of it.

"I'm really sorry, miss. Just now, Mr. Wright was moved from the intensive care unit. His condition is not

stable yet. You can only observe from the outside of his room. In addition, you have to maintain

silence."

The doctor's words were similar to a fine needle piercing Serena's heart. She began to tighten her fists

as a result.

Serena looked at Ben, who was in the hospital bed and appeared pale and weak. It was totally different

from how he usually looked when he was healthy.

"Is it worth it for you to do that for me?" Her murmured voice was somewhat choked.

Actually, Serena had no feelings for Ben before he saved her. Although she was shy to see him after

what happened, she still did not develop any romantic feelings of liking for Ben. From Serena’s point of

view, the two of them were just passersby who happened to cross paths with one another.

However, the figure of this man was deeply rooted in her heart and difficult to remove.

Serena thought it was likely that Sarah felt the same way after Han saved her. It was something

complicated and guilty.

Ben woke up three days later.

On this day, the gloomy sky had finally cleared up. There was little warmth provided by the dim

sunlight. People were walking down the street dressed in bulky winter jackets.

Leah handed a man's down jacket to Serena. She explained with a light smile, "I bought this when I

passed by a store today. The weather is quite cold today, you should give it to Ben."

Serena blushed, "Why should I do that? I don't want to give it to him!"

It was too humiliating and shameful to consider taking the initiative to offer him a down jacket as a

gesture of goodwill, okay?

"Well, fine then. Let Ben freeze to death then."

Leah read through Serena’s thoughts. She regretfully prepared to take away the down jacket.

"What are you talking about? I'll give it to him!"

Serena seized the down jacket and held it in her arm. She gritted her teeth in rage and grumbled, "After

spending time with that old fox, Sarah, you've turned out to be a very bad girl. You never used to be

able to say such hurtful things with that adorable little mouth of yours."

Leah shook her head innocently and said, "Did I? Go see Ben as soon as possible. If you aren't there

when he wakes up, he'll be disappointed."

Serena choked on her words. She was speechless. She made a movement with her lips as if she were

going to say something, but ultimately refrained. She quickly ran to Ben's ward with the jacket.

A sudden whooshing sound was heard from where Serena was standing, immediately after she had

left.

"Bang!"

A faint noise came from the wardrobe opposite the window.

Leah looked at the partially closed window with a somber expression. She eventually turned around

and left the ward while pretending nothing had happened.

Ravensong had made yet another move.
