Chapter 414 Realization
Under the brilliant city lights, Shawn's gaze landed on Leah. "Sarah, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Leah nodded as her eyes darkened. "Alright."
Everything was going so smoothly that she felt guilty.
After applying the medicine to her again, Shawn left the mansion. She heard from Lucy that he was going to meet Jackson.
At this moment, Leah received a call from Ross. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ms. White, I heard Mr. Ford has been looking at wedding gowns these two days and wants to marry you. Have you really made up your mind?" His voice was monotonous as usual, making it impossible to guess his emotions.
Leah's eyes became dull as the hand clutching the blanket became paler. "Mmhm, I've sent you the company documents that have to be handed over. Contact me if you don't understand anything. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
She did not want to explain the matter to them and soon hung up.
The night darkened, and the late autumn wind gave people bone-piercing chills.
Han heard their conversation from the side. His expression was so tense that he exuded a murderous
aura. "Damn you, Leah."
An unspeakable rage swept over him from the depths of his heart. Even the air around him had become frigid.
He thought that Leah was only taken away by Shawn because she did not have a choice. He had not expected her to marry him this soon.
Ross watched from the sidelines and also felt uncomfortable. "Mr. Hendrik, I think Ms. White has a reason for doing this. A drone captured her expression that day, and it seemed she wasn't as happy as we had imagined." He could only try his best to comfort Han now.
Han snorted coldly, suppressing the absolute pain in his heart. "Suppress the Ford Group."
Since Shawn wanted to marry her, then he had to pay the price.
Ross nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. "Mr. Hendrik, we bribed a servant from the Ford family's villa successfully. He also brought us the latest news about Ms. White today…"
"Jackson probably hit Ms. White until her whole body was bruised, so Shawn captured Jackson. However, Jackson is unsatisfied that Shawn only focused on his love life. The two of them are probably going to fall out soon."
Han smiled faintly. "Isn't that good? They're more in love than we thought." However, his heart was filled with piercing pain. Leah was injured again, but he could not stay by her side no matter what
identity he used this time.
Ben came over to the office at this moment. "Boss, we've found the source of the drug. It's from Qustraebar. I've arranged for people and the police to capture them. The remaining drugs are with Owen and Donald. We've discovered that the drugs in Owen's hands have been in use. It's probably used around the time of the auction. The antidote is left with Anna."
Han felt as if his heart was grabbed by someone, and he recalled the scene where Leah was sick.
His long fingers lightly tapped on the mahogany table as his eyes became cold. "Quickly investigate who the drug was used on."
The one that Owen and the others wanted to deal with the most in Linkville was Leah. Anxiousness spread in Han's heart, and a bad premonition made his limbs feel cold. It seemed like he had to get the antidote as soon as possible…
Leah mostly suffered from bruises, so Shawn got some special medicine. After resting for a week, she could walk again, and her bruises had also disappeared. However, her body had not recovered, and she seemed to be in a worse condition.
After Leah coughed out a puddle of blood in the morning, Shawn realized something was wrong.
"Send this to the hospital for testing to find out the problem," Shawn asked his assistant to collect the blood that Leah coughed out.
Then, he turned around and wiped the blood from Leah's lips gently. He asked with a serious expression,
"Sarah, is there any discomfort in your body? Did Jackson do anything else to you that day?"
Seeing the weak, pale person on the bed, he felt his heart ache.
Leah shook her head, lay on the bed, and sighed. "I don't know…" It was only three simple words, but it took her a lot of effort to say it.
She really did not know what happened to her body. Since the auction, she kept having high fevers and coughing out blood.
Then, she thought about her plan. She cleared her throat and asked Shawn. "How are you doing? What have you been busy with lately?"
Shawn was taken aback as he did not expect Leah to take the initiative to care about him. After a moment, he told her honestly, "I've been dealing with some issues related to the laboratory lately. Once I'm done, we can get married."
Leah clenched her fists under the blanket while she showed a curious expression as she asked, "The laboratory?" Her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt an unprecedented nervousness.
He was finally talking about it!
Shawn was blinded by Leah's gentleness, so he did not think there were any problems with her actions. Instead, he thought that her curious expression was adorable.
He reached out to rub her hair and said while smiling, "Mmhm, I'm currently doing an experiment. If it's
successful, the Ford Group's stock price and market value will rise a lot. By then, even Hendrik won't be an opponent to me. I believe I can protect you and our daughter well from now on."
His words made Leah feel resistant and uncomfortable, but she could not show it. She could only lower her eyes and said, "Mmhm, how long will it take?"
Her hands under the blanket had been sweating, and she was extremely nervous, hoping to hear the answer she wanted. As long as she could know how long it would take, she could have some time to take a breather.
Shawn only thought that she wanted to be with him as soon as possible, so he said without hesitation, "Three months."
There was a malicious light in his eyes as he smiled with pride. In three months, he could finally trample Han under his feet!
Leah did not listen to whatever he said after that, as she was extremely shocked. She did not expect it to be this fast.
Three months…
She must gain more of his trust to obtain more important information within this period!
Under this pressure, she started to cough out blood again. She stared blankly at the bright red blood in her hand, and her heavy, weak body made her panic.
Her intuition told her that there was something seriously wrong with her body. However, even the
hospital could not identify the problem.
She swallowed the rusty feeling in her throat and collapsed on the bed weakly.
No matter what illness it was, she only needed another three months. She could not watch so many people become sacrifices for Shawn's interests…
