Chapter 82
Leah instantly stood still, her blood flowing against her body as if she were frozen.
Her gaze met Charlie’s!
Charlie’s mouth suddenly curled into a smile when he saw her. The smile he gave complemented the scar on his chin, which had a slightly ominous and frightening appearance.
Leah was completely chilled from head to toe.
Her legs became weak. Then she clenched her teeth and tried to keep her cool. The next instant, she plucked her feet and bolted.
With a grim smile on his face, Charlie grinned icily.
He was aware of Leah’s release from prison.
He had been looking for her for a few days because he was afraid she would report him. He was still perplexed as to how he could locate her. But she did him good. She had walked right up to his door.
Charlie pursued Leah with his heavy steps.
He won’t let her get away.
Leah ran with trepidation, especially since Charlie was right behind her. His steps were very heavy, each one feeling as though it were trampling on her heart.
Leah’s mind was a wreck.
Her feet stumbled suddenly, Leah’s expression changed, and she fell to the ground.
“Gotcha.”
Charlie’s gruff voice came from behind.
Leah wanted to get back up and run, but a sharp pain shot through her scalp.
“Ah!”
Charlie grabbed Leah by her hair from behind.
At this point, they were standing by a small alley. Charlie then grabbed Leah’s hair and dragged her further into the alley.
Leah immediately had the image of Charlie killing Gordon in her head.
She must not follow him or she would perish!
“Help! Help!” Leah began to cry out for help like crazy.
However, the city’s outskirts were sparsely populated, and this place was even more isolated and uninhabited. How could anyone have heard her cries for help?
Even if someone did, who would have the courage to come up and help her?
“Slap!” Charlie slapped Leah across the face.
“Bitch, how dare you call for help?” Charlie sneered as he dragged her by her hair into a box!
He threw Leah inside like a rag, then looked around before picking up a steel pipe from the side and walking towards her.
“I’m warning you! Han has already found out your whereabouts, and the reconnaissance team will bring someone here soon. You won’t be able to escape even if you kill me!” Leah shrank back.
Charlie laughed coldly, and the scar on his chin grew increasingly ferocious. “Then I might as well not run and kill you, and I believe Han will thank me.”
Leah clenched her hands tightly, and swore, “You will get your karma!”
“What a shame. I doubt you’ll be alive to see that day!” As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and whacked Leah.
Charlie struck Leah on the head with ruthless force.
Blood immediately flowed down her eyes, and down to her chin.
She only felt a dull ache in her brain, as if it were about to explode.
Leah’s vision began to dim.
Charlie’s hideous face and his crazy smile were all she could see before passing out.
“Bang!”
Another sound was heard.
But it wasn’t the sound of Charlie hitting Leah on the head!
When Charlie realized what had happened, he immediately fell to the ground. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
With a frown, Ron strode directly to Leah and scooped her up without even giving Charlie a second glance.
……
Leah only felt that her brain was groggy.
It hurts, but there were other sensations.
She began to dream again.
She had a happy and blissful family in her dream, with a gentle and beautiful mother and a loving father who always spoiled her.
Such bliss was destroyed by an accident in the dream. She went mountain climbing with her family, but she accidentally fell into the sea, destroying everything.
In her dream, she had plastic surgery to make her look like someone else and lived as that person. Her father became an alcoholic.
Sasha White was her name in the dream.
Later, it became Sarah White.
She married Han, and after a series of trials, she finally believed she could pursue happiness.
However, someone had destroyed everything.
Blood. Eyes full of blood.
Leah could only feel a heavy heart and her mind went blank. She felt as if she was out of breath.
She remembered.
She remembered everything!
She was not Leah Murray at all. She was the White family’s eldest daughter.
Even though she had also fallen into the sea, she was not responsible for Han’s father’s death.
“Don’t!” Leah screamed and opened her eyes abruptly!
The first thing she saw was a snow-white wall, and she could hear two people talking quietly beside her.
“Why isn’t she awake yet?”
“Come on, now! She got hit on the head with a steel pipe. How can it be so quick? What are you in such a rush for?”
“I notice her face is very pale.”
“Isn’t that normal? Why are you so concerned about her? I’ve never seen you bring any woman to my place before, not even that Jade. Why? Do you like this woman?”
“Scram!”
There was one very familiar voice among the two.
Leah turned her head, a dull expression on her face, to see Ron standing by the bed, staring at her.
“Are you awake?” Ron looked at her.
“Where is this?” Leah asked, her voice hoarse.
Hearing her hoarse voice, Ron frowned slightly. He brought her a glass of water from the bedside table, handed it to her, and leaned leisurely on the bedside. “My home.”
Leah frowned lightly. Then, she sipped some water, and felt a burst of freshness in her throat. After setting the cup down, she looked at the man next to Ron.
Ron said casually, “Oh, he’s my friend and a doctor. Every time I was injured before, he took care of me.”
The doctor approached and smiled, “Aloha, gorgeous! How are you feeling?”
Leah frowned, “My head hurts a bit.”
“Oh, yes,” Leah coughed, “I suddenly have some memories in my head.”
“Huh? There is such a thing?” The doctor glanced at the medical chart on the side, “The report shows that there was some blood clot in your brain, which was broken off when you got hit with the steel pipe. Um… That should be it.”
Ron glared at him, “What do you mean by that? Are you even credible?”
“Right, I’ll get her medicine. You guys can catch up,” the doctor said, rolling his eyes and stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“Where’s Charlie?” Leah asked Ron after the doctor had left.
“You mean that man? I don’t know. Why are you asking for that man?”
Leah clenched her hands tightly, “He killed my father.”
Ron’s expression shifted slightly.
After a brief period of silence, he sighed and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find him.”
“Ron, thank you,” Leah said gratefully to him.
Ron’s eyes were a little downcast as he said, “Hey, I only heard about you in the last few days. When I saw you in a taxi today, I thought I was mistaken, so I followed you to confirm my suspicions. I didn’t
expect it to really be you. If I hadn’t followed you, you’d be dead by now.”
