Chapter 130

The coldness in Han’s eyes faded away as his gaze fell upon Charlotte. Han remained soft-heartedtowards his son. Charlotte was a chubby boy. His gradually developing facial features resembled Mollymore than Han.

“Daddy, I want huggies.” Charlotte said. Molly had taught him how to tackle Han’s soft side since hewas little. It was a piece of cake for Charlotte as he grew up with her teachings. Han reached outreluctantly and held Charlotte in his arms. Han asked, “What have you been doing lately?”

Charlotte began counting his fingers and answered, “I went to a lot of fun places with mommy and ate alot of tasty food. Daddy, I’ve seen a lot of children going to the amusement park with their daddies.When will you take me there?”

Charlotte looked at Han with longing eyes as he waited for his answer. Molly was excited to hear it aswell. Han was stunned. He never loved Molly, yet he must be a responsible father to Charlotte. As Hanwas hesitating on his response, Charlotte began twitching intensely in his arms. He was havingdifficulty breathing.

Charlotte widened his eyes as his face turned pale. He looked like he was experiencing agonizing pain.Han was taken aback and immediately called the family doctor beside them to check on him. Molly wasflabbergasted. “Han, will Charlotte be alright?” Molly asked as she clutched his hand. Charlotte waseverything to her.

“He’ll be fine.” Han answered softly. Although he had no feelings for Molly, he decided to reassure heras she was extremely worried. The family doctor came out of the room after half an hour. Molly swiftlyapproached the doctor and asked, “What happened to Charlotte?”

The doctor had a solemn look on his face. He glanced at Han as he was hesitant to speak in front ofMolly. “Speak.” Han insisted. The doctor took a deep breath and said, “According to my preliminaryinspection analysis, the patient is diagnosed with congenital myeloma.

“What? Myeloma?” Molly exclaimed in disbelief. She grasped the doctor’s hand tightly. “What’sMyeloma?” Molly asked. She was unaware that her fingernails were creating deep marks on the backof the doctor’s hand.

The doctor endured the pain and took another deep breath. He explained, “In the early stages ofMyeloma, the patient will experience weakness in limbs. As time passes, the patient will begincoughing out blood. At the final stage of myeloma, the cancer cells will take over completely and ceasemetabolism…”

The doctor could not say the last line. Yet, both Han and Molly understood him. Molly took a few stepsback as she was failing to stand upright. She was drenched in despair. She felt that it was the end ofthe world as the child she loved deeply may not live long.

Han remained calm. He fidgeted his fingers and asked, “Is there a cure for this?” The doctor answered,“There is a cure, but the odds of success are bleak. The patient is very young. The capacity forrejection is great. If the bone marrow from the donor is incompatible, the outcome will be fatal.”

Molly covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Han glanced at her and took a deep breath.“Don’t worry. I’ll replace a way to save Charlotte no matter what.” Han said. Molly felt a slight reassuranceafter hearing his words.

Leah and Ian arrived at the cemetery on Gordon’s memorial day. As they stood in front of his grave, Ianheld Leah’s hand and uttered, “Mr. White, you can rest assured as I’ll take good care of Sarah.” Therewas a picture of Gordon on the gravestone. It was as if Gordon responded to Ian with a warm look inhis eyes.

Ian drove Leah back to the city after leaving the cemetery. On the way to their destination, Ian actedcasually and asked, “It’s been quite a while since you’ve returned. Yet, you haven’t gone back to thecompany. How about we head over now?”

Leah nodded slowly and she leaned against the window observing the fleeting vehicles on the road.She was having mixed feelings.

Ian parked his car at the main entrance of the company. A group of reporters immediately surroundedthem as soon as they got out of the car. Leah and Ian gave each other a puzzled look.

The Sander’s family and the White family merged their companies. Although their company was rankedin the top five in Linkville, Ian had always kept a low profile. He had never attracted so many reportersbefore. Leah and Ian had a bad feeling about this.

“It seems like the rumors of Ms. Cindy being in a relationship with Mr. Sanders is true.” A reporteruttered. Leah’s identity was well known in Linkville ever since she became the star in the previousFashion Week. As for Ian, he had been the star of the economic magazines for the past two years.Rumors arousing amongst them were inevitable.

Leah and Ian glanced at each other and proceeded to make their way into the building. A reportersuddenly stopped them in their way. “What do you want?” Leah uttered expressionlessly. She wasradiating a menacing aura.

“Ms. Cindy, are you unaware of the fact that you returned after the first day of your volunteeringteaching? Do you know that your capricious behavior can cause tremendous problems for others?” Thereporter said.

“I thought you were a pretty and kind lady, but it was just an act. People like you are truly pretentious!”Another reporter added. The reporters continued to harass Leah with their malicious speculations.

Ian frowned and said, “Things aren’t the way you think.” A reporter replied, “Mr. Sanders, there’s noneed to speak for her. You deserve someone better.”

“That’s right. I’m starting to doubt that she designed the jewelry before by herself.” Another reporteruttered. The reporters were making ambiguous claims about Leah as if someone was behind all of this.

Ian was feeling irritated. As he was about to speak up once more, Leah stopped him. She shook herhead and proceeded to ask, “Who sent you all here to say all of this?” The expressions on thereporters’ faces were slightly moved.

“We’re just here to clarify things.” One of them still tried to quibble.
