Chapter 456 Let’s Date

Leah was deeply hurt by Han's ultimatum. Was he threatening her with his life now? If she said friends,

would he refuse to take the second antidote?

"Knowing how impetuous the Boss can be, don't be surprised if he does that," insisted Ben.

The memories she made with Han flew by before her. Only a few of which were happy ones.

"I'll think about it." Leah frowned.

She returned to Villa Victoria to visit Carlotta, who kept asking when Han was coming back. Carlotta

even wanted to speak with Han on the phone.

"You argued with Daddy, didn't you, Mommy?" inquired the ever-observant Carlotta.

"Carlotta, do you like daddy? Do you want to be with him forever?"

Leah couldn't deny that she liked Han, but she didn't want to get hurt again. And so, she threw that

question to Carlotta irresponsibly.

"What are you talking about, Mommy? Aren't we a family? A family lives together," answered Carlotta

innocently.

Right. Carlotta's response reminded Leah of the countless times Han had rescued Leah. And he did

that without knowing if Leah was ever going to reciprocate. Leah owed it to Han, even if this feeling

was born out of gratitude. After getting her answer, Leah decided to return to the hospital.

"Make sure Daddy comes back, okay, Mommy? I don't want any presents. I just want him back," said

Carlotta.

Carlotta's begging was what Leah could think about on her way to the hospital. Ben grew anxious when

he saw Leah. He couldn't read Leah's mind but he knew Leah's decision could seal his superior's fate.

"Ms. White, you..."

Ben was at a loss for words.

Leah smiled apologetically. "I have made up my mind. Bring me to him."

Ben's expression brightened when he heard Leah's answer. Han was housed in a spacious and

impeccable ward. A tiny seam was left open on the window to help circulate the air inside.

"Take the antidote," said Leah in an unnatural voice.

Han simpered. "So you agree to be Mrs. Howard now?"

Just like before.

"I still can't forget the pain you inflicted on me." Ben stopped in his tracks and Han's expression froze.

They kept quiet. "I like you. I just can't look past what we have done to each other."

Ben's heart shattered into a million pieces. So that was the reason why Leah didn't want to be with

Han. Even though everyone could tell that she was madly in love with him. She was still hurt.

But in that room, Leah wasn't the only one hurt. Han was in pain too. His lips moved, but nothing came

out. Leah was right. They always hurt each other. Now that everything had become crystal clear, there

was no way Leah would come back to Han.

"But I'm willing to give us a fresh start. If you're fine with it, take the antidote," chuckled Leah. It

sounded a bit self-derisive.

She came up with the third option. Perhaps Han wouldn't accept it. Normally, Han would start throwing

a fit already.

But it was different this time. Han agreed right away. "Let's date then."

The thorny gaze of Han grew softer. As long as Leah was still with him, Han was sure that one day,

they could overcome this obstacle. He took the antidote and dozed off shortly. Leaning against the cold

surface outside the ward, Ben let out a sigh of relief. Leah, however, was dazed. Han was more...

tamed than she anticipated. Not unlike that time when Han realized he misunderstood Leah. She found

it hard to believe that the proud man was willing to compromise.

"Sarah! Oh, goodness me! You're here!" Serena ran all the way from the elevator.

Leah was sure that she didn't miss anything important. "What's the matter, Serena?"

"Do you need any help, Ms. Coleman?" asked Ben.

Serena blushed right away when she saw Ben. She decided to look at Leah instead. "Sarah, come to

the office with me. They said you took drugs and the police are investigating! I can't reach your phone

so I came here."

Leah was befuddled. "Please take care of Han, Ben. I'll return once I settle this."

After the duo took the elevator and left, Ben was lost in his thoughts. Clearly, someone was trying to

frame Leah. Han usually had his people escort Leah in secret when she left her office so that no harm

would ever come to her. But the culprit managed to avoid all that and framed Leah. Ben knew he had to

do something.

As the police cordoned off Dream Designs, the incident went trending on the internet.

"Wait, the police are there now. I guess she did take drugs? She is rich. Why would she do that?"

"Can she get off the internet already? I'm so sick of seeing her name everywhere."

"Isn't she in the international design contest? She should be disqualified."

It didn't take long until her company came under fire. Leah found the entire debacle ridiculous. She

switched off her phone and cooperated with the police investigation.

"We have drawn your blood. We'll have the result in an hour. Till then, we have to search your

company."
