Chapter 29
“Please, let me go! I won’t do it again! I beg you….” Leah was sweating, and her face was pale. She kept talking in her sleep as her hands grabbed hold of the blanket.
Mrs. White and Mr. White looked at each other and didn’t know what to do.
“No!” Leah screamed and opened her eyes. She was terrified. She stayed silent as she stared at the ceiling. Her memories started coming back to her. She remembered Han locking her inside the gambling den and being rescued by the man she saved. Then, there was a fire on that rainy night. After that… An accident happened!
Leah finally felt the pain going through her body, and she felt dizzy.
“Are you awake?” A gentle voice spoke beside her.
Leah turned her head with difficulty and saw a woman’s face looking back at her with gentle eyes that are filled with worry.
In an instant, Leah cried.
Mrs. White was in a panic. She didn’t know why Leah cried. She took a glance at Mr. White and went up to Leah to wipe off her tears, “I’m so sorry. My husband was coming back from the airport. His car hit you because it was raining heavily and the visibility was bad. We couldn’t contact your parents so we took you back here.”
Her voice and actions were so gentle as if she were coaxing a little child.
Leah shook her head and replied in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.”
“Where are your family? Do you need us to contact them? Don’t worry. We won’t abandon you before you recover.” Mrs. White held onto her hands tightly.
For some reason, Mrs. White felt a pain in her heart when she looked into Leah’s eyes. Because of that, she wanted to know this girl better.
Leah lowered her head and said, “My parents have passed away.”
Mr. White heard her reply and said immediately with a sigh, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s all right.” Leah shook her head, “May I know where this place is?”
She had a look at her surroundings just now. It was a bright and spacious house, and the furniture inside was expensive. It gave her an idea about the house owner’s social status and wealth.
The couple in front of her must be rich. Perhaps they could help her contact lan.
Mr. White looked at this girl with pity and answered, “This is the White residence at Linkville.”
The White residence?
Leah’s face froze up, and many images flashed through her brain. There was a small mansion with a corridor by the garden in her memories. There was also a little girl with a twin ponytail running happily along the corridor. A maid was chasing after her while shouting. “Ms. White, be careful, don’t trip…”
Leah painfully closed her eyes. The memories in her brain flashed again. This time, there was a lot of water that almost suffocated her.
“Ahhhh!”
Leah wrapped her hands around her head with her eyes still closed. Her body was trembling vigorously.
Mrs. White was shocked, “What’s wrong?”
“My head, it hurts…” Leah was gasping for air as tears ran down her face.
Her head was hurting so much. She had two different memories flashing through her brain. There was a bright and spacious mansion and also a small, dark room. She also saw Mrs. White’s face and Han’s face…
Leah was moaning before she passed out again.
Mrs. White didn’t expect that to happen so she picked up her phone and called the family doctor. The family doctor arrived soon. He did a check on Leah and had a stern look. He shook his head and said, “Her brain was struck hard and caused a transient shock. She lost a lot of blood and needs a blood transfusion.”
“Is there a way to save her?” Mrs. White asked.
The family doctor had a troubled look, “The most important thing right now is to give her a blood transfusion, but we have no suitable blood for her.”
Mrs. White looked at Mr. White, “Why don’t we send her to the hospital?”
Then, footsteps could be heard from downstairs followed by lan’s voice, “Is it true that Mr. White has returned?”
“Oh, isn’t lan a doctor? I’m sure he can speak to the hospital and ask them to give this girl a blood transfusion.”
Mrs. White went downstairs happily and saw lan visiting the residence with a lot of gifts. lan looked tired with dark circles under his eyes, but he still tried his best to smile, “I’m visiting because Mr. White just
returned.”
“You are too kind.”
“No. It’s what I should do as a junior.” lan put his gifts down and asked casually, “Where’s Sasha? Why didn’t I see her?”
Mrs. White smiled gently, “Sasha went to her piano lesson and hasn’t returned yet. Oh, please come upstairs with me. I need your help.” She took lan to the guest room while saying, “Yesterday, Gordon hit a girl. She passed out because she lost too much blood. You are a doctor. Can you try to find blood suitable for her?”
lan’s said seriously, “Take me to her so I can have a look.”
Inside the room, Leah was lying on a big white bed. She had cold sweat all over her forehead. Her face was pale, and she was frowning like she was in a lot of pain.
Mrs. White said, “She was fine when she woke up, but she passed out after saying something. The family doctor said her brain was in transient shock…”
lan looked in Leah’s direction. His eyes were fixed on the girl. He had found her without even looking. He almost ignored what Mrs. White said and walked up excitedly to the bed. He was sure that this girl is Leah. He didn’t expect Mr. White to rescue her.
“What’s wrong, lán? Is it troublesome even for you?” Mrs. White asked nervously.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she imagined something bad happening to Leah.
“She had A-type blood. We need to contact her family to do a blood transfusion.” lan looked at Mr. White with excitement.
Mr. White was confused, but he still asked, “We don’t know who her family is.”
“How could you not know?” lan smiled and had a relaxed expression. His tiredness went away as well, “Mr. White. Mrs. White. You are her family!”
Meanwhile, Sasha just returned home ten minutes ago. She lied to Mrs. White about having piano lessons. NôvelDrama.Org content.
She was actually out fooling around with her friends.
When she reached the living room and wanted to go upstairs, the maid came over and said politely, “Ms. Sasha, Mr. Sanders is here. He is in the guest room with Mr. White and Mrs. White now.”
“lan?” Sasha was surprised and excited. She walked slowly and said while smiling, “I’m going to surprise him.”
