Chapter 274 Forced

Leah propped her hands on the ground to protect the fetus in her stomach. Her palms flushed red from

the friction of the cement floor.

Her easel was smashed to pieces in seconds.

The man stared at her with no intention of helping her up.

"Mr. Ford has a message for you. He's not a patient man. Both Han and your dearest friend will

continue to suffer if you don't make up your mind."

She bit her lip and refused to shed a single tear.

She felt cold rushing over her despite it being a sunny day.

It didn't matter what she did. She couldn't rid herself of Shawn and was causing everyone around her to

suffer.

She slowly got to her feet after a while to pick up the pieces of her easel before giving Serena a call.

"Oh, you have time to call me today?"

Leah held back her tears. "Have you been doing okay recently, Serena?"

Han's accident caused her to neglect Serena's well-being. The man's words only made her uneasy.

"I'm okay."

Serena's tone put her at ease.

Thank God. As long as she doesn't get dragged into this mess.

Serena could tell something was up. "What's wrong? Why do you ask?'

Leah had stubbornly held back her tears despite being outright threatened but Serena's concern

shattered the dam. Her tears fell in rivulets.

She was choking up as she said, "Shawn had someone destroy my stand."

"Stay there."

Serena immediately hung up and rushed herself over to the park.

She wandered around before finally finding her friend by the lake.

"You scared the sh*t out of me, Cindy."

Serena sat down next to Leah, who had bloodshot eyes. It was clear she had been crying.

Leah was truly an unlucky woman to have met someone like Shawn Ford. He was disrupting her

livelihood and destroying any semblance of peace she had.

She wiped her tears away. "I'm fine. What are you doing here?"

She wanted nothing more than to throw herself into Han's arms and cry but she couldn't.

She couldn't let Han see her like this, let alone let him know that all of this was because of one Shawn

Ford.

Leah forced herself to get up. "Can you come to the hospital with me?"

She had just been pushed and had no idea how the fetus was doing.

"I'll come with you."

Both women left the park.

Leah finished all examinations and held the report card in her hand at the OB-GYN department. She

could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The reports showed that everything was normal.

She gently covered her stomach with both hands. "I'm sorry, dear. I failed to protect you."

Serena then drove her back to her apartment.

Leah smiled. "Alright, you've been with me for an entire afternoon now. You should head back."

Serena left after watching the woman disappear into the building.

Leah calmed herself when she reached her door. It was only when she could put a smile on her face

that she unlocked the door.

Why is the door already unlocked?

That didn't seem right. She made a call to the cops. She had to report it if a burglar got in.

It was only then that she opened the door.

The tidy apartment was left in a disarray with furniture and ornaments scattered about.

She frowned and made a beeline into Han's room.

The wheelchair-bound Han was on the floor with his eyes screwed shut.

"Han?"

She nudged him gently but received no response.

His face and arms were littered with bruises. Everything in the house indicated that someone had

broken in.

She couldn't think of anyone else who would do this besides Shawn.

She immediately called emergency services.

Han was greeted by a white ceiling the moment he opened his eyes. The air was filled with an acrid

smell of disinfectant.

He was in the hospital.

He remembered being home and was going to prepare dinner for Leah when the front door came off its

hinges. A group of people came inside, destroyed everything in sight, and took his phone away, leaving

him no opportunity to call for help.

"I'm fine."

Han endured the pain and gently patted her head to comfort her.

Leah's eyes were swollen red and glistening with tears. She must've been shocked by what she came

home to.

He wanted so badly to tell her that this was nothing and that he had suffered far worse to bring the

Howard Group to heel.

She was holding his hand with teary eyes. "Does it hurt?"

"No. Just a minor inconvenience. We'll be out of the hospital once they clear me."

Han then used all his strength as support to get out of bed and reach the wheelchair.

Leah stopped him.

"Stop it. The doctor says you should stop moving around."

She covered him with a quilt before he could even protest. "Rest. I'll get the doctor."

With that, she closed the door of the ward and walked out.

The soft expression on Han's face was gone in an instant and replaced by an icy chill.

He made a call to Alfred Bannon. He wasn't going to let sleeping dogs lie.

It didn't matter if it was Shawn or Jackson. He was going to make them all pay.

"Kick off the plan, Alfred."

Everyone only knew Han as the president of the Howard Group, not as a well-known investment

mastermind overseas.

Leah's phone rang the moment she left the doctor's office.

"Hello, am I speaking to Ms. White?"

"Yes."

"I'm Officer Fallon. We've looked into your home invasion case. There was nothing captured on the

surveillance camera. Mr. Ford does not accept your accusations. If you have any other evidence,

please provide them as soon as possible to not waste everyone's time."

"Our time is precious. We don't have time to waste on people like you."

Leah staggered as her grip on her phone tightened.

Was it that they didn't find anything or that Shawn wasn't allowing them to look into it?

She immediately hung up her phone.

She was down on her knees. She wanted to cry but found herself unable to.

Was all of Linkville now under his power?

What was she supposed to do?

She understood him well. He was a sinister man who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Everything that happened today was going to keep happening if she remained by Han's side.

She was going to drag everyone down with her if this continued.

She lost track of time for a while before finally dragging herself up to the washroom to freshen herself

up. She had to hide her emotions before heading back to the ward.
