Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 6

Shyanne flashed a wide smile and said sweetly as she ran toward the woman, “You have arrived, Molly!” She examined Molly for a while, guessing how long she had been standing there and how much she had eavesdropped. Molly nodded lightly and said, “Yeah, your brother brought me over. I overheard your phone conversation. Did you say that someone confessed to your brother?” Shyanne’s smile froze and she tried to act nonchalant. “It’s a woman in the mental hospital. She dreams of being my brother’s wife all day long. She’s so troublesome.” Molly was a control freak who could not tolerate any women near Han. She had never heard of anyone confessing to the man previously. Hence, she was certain that Shyanne was lying. Her expression turned somber as she asked, “Oh really? What’s the woman called?” Worried that Molly would learn of the truth, Shyanne tried to change the topic. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. She’s just a crazy person. Oh yes, I heard that Han went to Paline last week and bought the red jadeite bracelet for you. It’s Master Gordan’s final piece of work before retiring. It’s the only piece in the world. Let’s go and look at it!” “All right.” Though Molly could sense Shyanne was trying to divert the subject, she chose not to confront her. She decided to remember the name of the psychiatric hospital by heart instead. She was bent on finding out what Shyanne was hiding from her. Meanwhile, Leah was still in a dispirited state and relied on nutrition injections to survive. She spent the next few days sitting silently by the window. Thinking that she had finally calmed down, the nurses allowed her to head out to the open field for a breather. They never expected that the moment she stepped out of the door, she would shove them aside and flee as quickly as she could. The head nurse yelled, “Hurry get hold of her!” She knew that Leah would harass Han again once she broke free. Fearing that the man would hold her accountable, she instructed the security to do whatever they needed to seize Leah. Leah was weak from a lack of food for several days and was apprehended even before she got close to the entrance. She shrieked, “Get off me! I’m not insane. By imprisoning me, you are infringing my rights.” The head nurse scoffed, “Every patient here says that they are normal.” Seeing that Leah could not stop struggling, she did not hesitate to slap her across the face. The sudden unexpected hit caused Leah to instantly quiet down. The head nurse warned, “Listen carefully, you can forget about leaving this place once you have been admitted here.” Leah covered her face as tears started streaming down her cheeks. She shifted her gaze to the faraway door, feeling© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

despondent. As punishment from the head nurse, Leah was locked up in a tiny black room. She was determined to quickly regain her health in order to find another way out of the mental hospital. Two days later, the nurse escorted Leah out of the room and said, “Someone is here to see you.” Leah examined the unexpected visitor seated across from her. It was the beautiful woman she saw in the media all the time – Molly Lamere. Leah wondered to herself, why is she here?
