Chapter 324 You Are Too Careless

The next day, Leah asked Serena to join her for lunch at a French restaurant. However, Leah waited tillnoon, and Serena did not show up. Instead, Anna walked up to her table.

“Hello, Ms. Lancaster,” Leah greeted Anna with questioning eyes. She did not invite Anna to her lunch.Anna simply greeted Leah and sat down in front of her.

“Since we are both here, I thought we should have lunch together, Ms. White,” Anna lifted a friendlysmile. Leah felt uncomfortable and estranged from Anna.

“I am sorry but my friend is on her way,” Leah rejected with a smile. Anna shrugged and said, “Well, weare friends too, aren’t we? Let me buy you a drink, my friend!”

Minutes later, two glasses of red wine were served to their table. Anna raised one of the glasses,“Cheers!” She took a gulp.

Finding no excuse to refuse, Leah raised her glass and took a sip. She glanced at Anna, unsure ofwhat to do with the situation. Anna being here did not seem like a coincidence at all.

Leah put her glass down. Anna began to talk about her happy life with Han. “I have to tell you whathappened the other day with Han. I was walking bare-footed on a warm day, and he insisted oncarrying me to the bed. He would not let me out of bed without wearing socks.”

Trying to remain calm as her heart ached, Leah plastered a smile on her face. She thought she wasover Han, but she still felt hurt when Anna talked about her life with Han.

Anna saw the way Leah’s face fell, and she secretly enjoyed it. She could do this all day long.

Ten minutes later, Leah began to worry about Serena, so she called her cell phone. However, Serenadid not pick up. Leah panicked. She had to call the cops. “My friend Serena may be in danger,” shemumbled as she stood up.

Anna smirked. I am afraid you are in danger yourself, Leah. Before Leah could step away, Anna fell tothe table, and a few waiters rushed over to replace out what was happening.

“Ms. Lancaster! What happened? Call the cops!” The waiters surrounded Leah and Anna. “We have tosend her to the hospital immediately! Could you please stay until the cops are here? They may need toask you about what happened.”

Anna fainted and was sent to the hospital. However, Leah was forced to stay in the restaurant. Shewas anxious; she felt like she was walking into a trap.

“This has nothing to do with me,” she frowned, “Why can’t I leave?” The incident reminded her of thecar crash with Anna; both incidents were eerily similar. Anna had fainted in Leah’s company - this couldhave severe consequences.

“We are sorry but you can’t leave before you explain the situation to the cops,” the waiters did notintend to let her leave.

It started to rain when Han entered the restaurant. Leah looked dejected, and it ached his heart. Heslowly walked toward her.

“Anna’s report is out,” he said in a low voice, “She was poisoned. Someone added poison to her wine.What do you have to say about this?”

Leah turned toward him and said nothing. Her heart sank. He was here for Anna once again. She knewnothing she said now would change anything.

Han was frustrated. He grabbed her chin and said coldly, “I can’t believe you hate her so much forbeing with me that you try to kill her multiple times.”

“You are too careless. Did you think you could get away from poisoning her?” he added.

Leah turned her head away. “What poison are you talking about? My lunch date should have beenSerena. Anna invited herself to my table and ordered a glass of wine. How could I have planned thisand poisoned Anna?”

She chuckled. “I have never cared if you want to be with Anna or not. You could side with Anna, but Iwill not admit to what I have never done.”

Leah had never thought about hurting Anna because of Han. Not during the car crash; not this timewhen she fainted.

Han was annoyed by the way she looked at him mockingly. He was about to say something whenOwen called him. He glared at her, “Leave Anna alone.”

He walked away as he answered the call. Leah sat down on the chair, feeling as if all strength hadbeen sucked away from her body.

The cops arrived and took her to the police station to answer a few questions. “We have no evidenceyou have poisoned Ms. Lancaster, but someone reported you for having a history of hurting her in thepast. You cannot leave until our investigations show you are innocent.”

Leah said nothing. She had given up. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at the rainy skyoutside the window.

Afterward, Lucy got the news and asked Shawn to bail Leah out. Shawn sent Leah back to WisteriaCourt that evening. As he stopped his car, he looked at Leah and said, “I am sorry you are not doingwell without me by your side, Sarah.”

“Why don’t we get back together?” He suggested, “Give me another chance, and I promise you we willlive happily forever after.”

Leah simply shook her head. Her face was as pale as a ghost. Shawn sighed and got out of the carwith her, “It’s okay. Can I at least see Carlotta?”

She did not reject him, because she had promised him he could visit Carlotta whenever he wanted.They entered Wisteria Court together, and someone was taking their pictures, hiding nearby.

Han went to visit Anna in the hospital. Owen was in the room as well, seemingly furious. “Han, what areyou doing? How could you let someone else hurt Nana again and again?”

Unfazed, Han remained silent. Owen grew tired of scolding Han. He glared at Han and said, “I heardthis woman, Sarah White, was there every time Nana got hurt. She must have something to do withthis. You should replace her and bring her to me!”

Han stared at Owen with a scowl. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lancaster. I will take care of this.” If Owen hadtaken this matter into his own hands, Leah would be dead.

Owen smirked. “Don’t try to fool me, Han. This woman is your mistress, and you are trying to protecther, aren’t you?”

Han’s face fell, “Mr. Lancaster, are you saying you don’t trust me? I promised I would take care ofAnna, and I intend to keep my promise.”

Anna woke up. She smiled as she heard what Han said. “Han! I am so happy you are here.”

Seeing his daughter was smitten with Han, Owen gave in. He told Han, “Fine, you take care of thismatter and get back to Nana as soon as possible.”
