Leah walked to the living room after changing her clothes in her bedroom. Under the dim light, she saw Shawn sleeping on the couch. Half of his body was hanging outside the couch with a thin blanket.

Leah was annoyed at the sight of Shawn. She did not even think about putting a warmer blanket on him.

She opened the refrigerator and took a few gulps of ice-cold water to calm her restlessness.

“Sarah? You are awake so early.” Then, Leah heard Shawn mumbling behind her.

Hearing his childish tone, Leah finally realized she was not dreaming about this.

“I’m going to work. You can sleep in,” said Leah as she threw the water bottle in the bin.

However, Shawn had lost all his desire to sleep after hearing Leah’s words. He ran and followed Leah tightly. “I want to stay with you! Please don’t leave me here alone. You promised me yesterday you wouldn’t leave me if I’m a good boy!”

Leah was starting to get irritated.

She wondered what Shawn had experienced in his childhood to make him so insecure, but she was too tired to deal with him at the moment.

“Whatever! Just follow if you want,” said Leah flatly before she picked up her jacket and got ready to leave.

Shawn was delighted to hear that. He quickly followed Leah.

Leah went to R.W. Co. to see Roman.

“I’m sorry, Ms. White. We had people searching every inch of the beach at upstream Ocean View, but we still couldn’t find Mr. Howard,” said Roman in his office.

Leah’s heart sunk. She knew Han’s survival rate was getting slimmer after two days.
