Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 2

Han fumed inwardly as he approached Leah, why is the woman who has always been well-

behaved disobeying my instructions? The man’s attention riveted on her, his pupils flared

as he said in a menacing voice, “You don’t deserve to be the mother of my child. Do you

think I’d appreciate a cheap woman I could easily get for a million dollars?” Leah froze on

the spot as she thought to herself, Han never liked me in the first place. Why did he

bother marrying me if he despises me? She felt a wave of sadness as she tried to process

the news with a heavy heart. Han ignored Leah’s crestfallen looks and went away after his

brief statement. He acted as though he did not care about how she felt. Leah was left

standing alone, utterly dejected. After a brief moment of stillness, Leah walked to the

kitchen and began preparing lunch absent-mindedly. Suddenly, someone patted her

shoulder and whispered in a cheeky voice, “What’s wrong, Leah? Are you okay?” Leah

turned around to see a young girl with a radiant smile. It was Han’s half-sibling, Shyanne

Howard. Everyone in the Howard residence, including the servants, gave Leah cold

shoulders when she first arrived. Shyanne was the only one who acknowledged her status

as Han’s wife and tried her best to cheer her up when she was feeling despondent at

Han’s ill-treatment. Leah shook her head and flashed a weak smile. “It’s nothing. You have

just returned from school and must be starving now. Don’t worry, lunch will be ready

soon.” After taking care of Han and Shyanne’s living necessities all these years, she has

since developed a close relationship with the latter. Shyanne grabbed Leah’s arms and

pleaded, “I’m craving your pumpkin soup, Leah. I was dreaming of it last night!” “All right,

I’ll get some pumpkins from the garden.” Leah always found it hard to reject Shyanne’s

requests. Leah frequently visited the garden to feed the fishes in the pond or to tend to

the pumpkins. Given that the sun was shining brightly today, she was surprised to see

that the rocks near the pond were drenched. She was mindful of her steps as she picked

out the grown pumpkins. However, as she was preparing to make her way back to the

house, Shyanne ran toward her and they accidentally collided. As a result, Leah lost her

footing and fell into the pond. “Leah!” Shyanne cried aloud. Leah fought frantically for air,

but each time she gulped a lungful of water. Her clothes were drenched and she started to

sink like a stone. She could not rely on Shyanne to pull her out of the water as the young

girl was stunned and crying uncontrollable. Leah felt the world spinning around her and

began to lose consciousness, her breathing becoming increasingly shallow. Leah only

regained consciousness the following day. “It’s all my fault, Leah! If it weren’t for my

carelessness, you wouldn’t have lost your baby!” Shyanne cried in exasperation as she

hugged Leah tightly. Leah was in disbelief as she asked in a croaking voice, “What… what

did you say?” Lost my baby? How did it happen? Leah immediately put her palm on her

stomach and felt a dull piercing pain. Sadness flitted across her face as she thought of her

dead unborn child. She sniffled quietly and tears started trickling down her cheeks.
