Begging For A Reconciliation

Han glanced over at Maria. Inexplicably, a feeling of confusion arose in his heart.

He had not recovered his memory yet and did not recognize Leah and Shawn. However, before the two of them had shown up, he had felt something like a sense of familiarity when he looked into Maria’s eyes. When he first awoke, this was why he thought that Maria was someone close to him. As a result, he had been more kindly disposed toward her.

However, once Leah appeared on the scene, Han had not been able to revive that spark of familiarity whenever he looked at Maria.

He had not actually given her much in the way of encouragement. In fact, he had not spoken very much with her at all. In all honesty, most of it was merely a projection of Maria’s own desires.

Expressionlessly, Han answered, “My apologies. I’ll reimburse you for all your trouble.”

Maria immediately began crying in earnest. Clutching at Han’s hand, she wept, “No! I don’t want any reimbursement. I just want you, Lee. Can’t you stay so we’ll always be together?”

Whenever humans were about to lose something, they would almost always sense it before it happened. Fear of losing that something would cause them to take whatever steps necessary to hold onto it.

Leah watched Maria, her brows drawing together slightly. It was not because she sympathized with the other girl or felt impatient with her. Rather, it was because Maria reminded her of someone.

That someone…was herself previously.

After all, hadn’t she acted the same way before as well? In order to hold onto the person she loved, she had completely lost her sense of self and been humiliated to the core.

Han frowned slightly and reached out to detach his hand from Maria’s tight grasp.

Right at this moment, the sound of a car zooming past on the road outside drifted into the garden. Immediately after that, a car screeched to a halt in front of the Adkins residence.
