Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Shawn Went Missing

Molly paused the steps and turned back to meet Han’s eyes filled with pain; knowing that Leah couldn’t be kind, her visit to the hospital must be due to her motive to trigger Han’s guilt in his heart.

She touched Charlotte’s hair, returned to the emergency room’s entrance with an annoyed look, and said, “Don’t you ever pretend.”

Although the success rate of bone marrow-compatibility was high with her unborn child, this matter would become a thorn between Han and her, and she must solve it in time.

Money is king, and with it, Molly was under the belief that she could search for compatible marrow if she spent the price ten or even twenty times higher than the market price.

Leah gave a hesitant gaze to Molly as if she was staring at a dumb who wanted the bone marrow from her unborn child previously but turned back her decision now.

She twitched her red lips, gazed mockingly, and said, “Molly, you’re such a fool like before, and you’re not qualified to be a mother. If I were Charlotte’s mom, I would never give up hope even if it’s slim, and I wouldn’t reject any chance available in front of you.”

Han was standing still quietly while a flux existed in his deep eyes. He was neutral, not doubted to Leah’s word but not agreeing. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He would not want to hurt his child in Leah’s belly unless it was at the end of the route, and the past mistake shouldn’t be twice.

Upon this, Han ordered Ben in a cold voice. “Ben, let’s send her back.”

Leah’s words effectively irritated Molly, her mesmerizing eyes hidden with hatred; Leah wasn’t aware of a thing, and how could Leah say she was not qualified to become a mother? Molly intended to move forward, but her sleeve clutched at someone behind her. Han lifted her collar at the back, and they walked toward the patient’s ward.

When their shadow disappeared gradually from her field of vision, she then entered the elevator.

“Ms. White, you’re not bound to do this, as Mr. Howard will not agree.” Ben broke the silence in the elevator.

Leah’s hands gently covered her belly, and her charming cherry blossom eyes flashed. “This is my child, and it has no relation to Han completely.”

Ben grudged and thought Leah was releasing the words of anger, but he didn’t learn it further.

As they walked off the elevator, the phone rang with a nice rhythm.

Leah took her cell phone from her handbag, and her brows deepened when she looked at the words bouncing on the screen; she put it back into her bag as if she had never heard it.

However, the caller didn’t give up, and her phone rang again.

“What’s up?” Leah tapped on the answer button.

The voice on the phone was not Shawn's. Instead, it was Mr. Carling’s. Apparently, he sounded very frantic when he asked earlier..

“Ms. White, I’m sorry to bother you. Shawn said he wanted to see you this morning, and I didn’t agree with him. He had gone missing since the afternoon. Have you seen him?”

It could be because he heard Leah’s impatience, but Mr. Carling sounded genteel even under such urgent circumstances.

Upon hearing that, Leah was stunned as she had never expected Shawn would want to see her. But she stayed at Howard Group the whole day and didn’t even receive a phone call.

“No.”

A helpless sigh could be heard.

“Did you order your men to look for him?” Leah asked.

Shawn, in his current state, with the wisdom of a seven-year-old, was unable to take care of himself regardless of whether he would be found, and it would be even worse if what happened previously at the basement parking lot were to happen again.

“Our men had been tasked to search for him.”

“Ms. White, could you try to recall where Shawn could possibly wander off to?”

“Please search for Shawn together, Ms. White.” Again, Mr. Carling’s helpless voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call.

“Okay, sure.” Leah hung up the phone after that.

“We'll go Eastdel Amusement Park to have a look.” Leah sat in the back passenger seat and told Ben.

Shawn had mentioned Eastdel Amusement Park before. He had always wanted to visit there but hadn’t because of some family affairs, and he might be there.

Ben seemed to be in a trance at the moment.

Leah asked, “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Howard wanted me to send you home, Ms. White,” Ben replied reluctantly.

Ben’s presence was to protect Leah per Mr. Howard’s request, and he wouldn’t allow himself to blindly follow Leah’s instruction.

Leah had a blank look and seemed to be on autopilot at the moment.

Later, Ben followed behind her, and Leah stopped by the roadside, waiting for a cab.

Ben shouted, "Let’s get in the car, Ms. White."

Leah straightened her backbone and pretended not to hear Ben.

Since Ben had worked for Han for a long time, Ben knew Leah’s character, and he understood she was stubborn. “Ms. White, it’s difficult to get a cab at this hour.”

Leah pondered and got in the car.

At the Eastdel Amusement Park, Leah gripped an entrance ticket; she was looking forward to the amusement park during her childhood but didn’t have the opportunity.

After Leah married Han, he wouldn’t accompany her to the park.

She lowered her eyes with a grin.

Not far away, a man with a mask and a hat turned around and left after he saw Leah; he disappeared from the corner.

“She is hooked. Mr. Ford.” Upon hearing the man reporting, Shawn’s dark eyes blinked in delight and waved at him.

Leah pointed at the garden nearby and said, “Ben, why don’t you go over there to look for him, and I’ll be here.”

It was almost time for the amusement park to close, so it was not as crowded anymore and this meant that they would not have a hard time looking for Shawn.

Ben was reluctant initially, but after Leah insisted, he followed her to the garden.

On the other hand, Leah was slow and was approaching the other side of the garden.

Suddenly, Leah noticed a blue shirt peeking out from the corner of the trashcan by the flowerbed.

“Shawn!” Leah shouted.

"Beautiful Sister!" Shawn stood with his back to Leah, and he heard a familiar voice and quirked his mouth; his cold face was replaced by a goofy-looking smile, he turned and saw Leah.

“Beautiful Sister, are you here to look for Shawn?”

Leah quickened her steps and pulled up Shawn, who was sitting on the floor. When she saw that he was not hurt after a thorough check, she called Mr. Caling's number.

The call was answered in a split second.

“Mr. Carling, he is found.”

About twenty minutes later, Mr. Carling arrived at the amusement park with the Ford family men; Shawn held Leah's hand tightly and would not let go.
