Chapter 381 The Rumored Man
Hendrik's concern made Leah feel better.
She sent him a text. "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me."
Leah struggled to sit on the bed, and she could not help but smile bitterly when looking at her body.
Hendrik saved her again.
She owed him so much and did not know how to repay him.
So she sent him a text again. "You saved me so many times, and I want to repay you by giving you a
gift. What do you like?"
Hendrik replied to her. "Let's talk about the gift later. When you get discharged, accompany me for a
meal.
Only a meal?
Leah was slightly surprised and could finally see what he looked like.
Leah replied to him. "Okay."
After sending the text, her heart could not stop beating faster, like a naive teenage girl looking forward
to the day of her discharge.
Although she had never met Hendrik and still did not know why he approached her, she could not help
but want to know more about him.
Even if he betrayed her and hurt her like Lucy in the future, it would not matter.
Without him, she would have died in Qustraebar a long time ago.
Leah suffered from external injuries, with dozens of long scars on both arms, but nothing else.
The doctor asked her to stay for a month.
She could not sit still and always wanted to draw something. She begged Serena to bring her paper
and pens on the seventh morning.
"Serena, I'm so bored. The studio has so many tasks. Let me help with something..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she could finish, a low and sexy male voice came from outside the door, "No, you can't."
Then, a tall and slender man walked into the ward.
His iconic black coat and a carved black iron mask covering his face excited Leah, "Hendrik!"
Serena greeted him to come in and sit down. "Are you here to visit Sarah too? You are..."
Serena was suddenly stunned and exclaimed with hindsight, "You are Hendrik?!"
The king of the business industry had appeared before her just like that.
As he approached, Serena was sweating and respectfully gave up the chair by Leah's bedside.
"Please, have a seat."
Just as everyone said, he was indeed mysterious. Even when appearing in front of everyone, he still
wore a mask.
Leah treated him as a good friend, no longer nervous like when she first met him.
Looking at Hendrik sitting by her bed, she smiled gently. "Why are you still in Linkville? I thought you
left here long ago."
Hendrik took out a small box containing seven small porcelain bottles. "You're so silly. If I leave, can
you take care of yourself? This is an effective medicine from the genius doctor. It can promote the
healing of your wounds and reduce scars. Apply it three times a day. "
The normal conversation between the two stunned Serena.
Although there were rumors that Hendrik loved her best friend, she never thought he loved her deeply.
The genius doctor had long disappeared, yet Hendrik had made him come out of seclusion to make
medicine because of Sarah's injury.
Serena wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly went to Hendrik's side. "Thank you for the
effective medicine, Mr. Hendrik. I'll help Sarah apply it now..."
She wanted to get the box, but Hendrik evaded her grasp. "I'll do it. You can leave."
Serena was speechless.
What kind of aura did this high-ranking individual possess? Wasn't it usually her taking care of Sarah?
Leah also felt it was inappropriate for Hendrik to apply medicine for her and hurriedly tried to persuade
him. "Hendrik, let Serena help me instead."
Hendrik remained silent and sat quietly. His mask covered his expression, making them impossible to
guess his emotions.
However, the pressure in the room dropped even lower.
Serena could not bear it any longer and hastily bid her farewells. "I'm going to the studio now. Sarah, if
you need anything, just let me know."
She was secretly mocking. Wasn't Mr. Hendrik supposed to be cold-blooded and heartless? What was
going on now?
Truly, heroes were often charmed by the beauty of women.
Leah also seemed to feel the same way. She looked at Hendrik with a strange and embarrassed
expression. 'Um... you don't like me, do you?
She felt it was better to clarify things like this, as she wanted to be friends with him.
Hendrik took out a small bottle and said plainly, "Stop talking nonsense."
After he asked the nurse to remove the bandage from her arm, her fair and slender arm revealed
dozens of blood-red and hideous scars.
It was the first time Leah had seen her wound clearly since she had been hospitalized for a week.
Lucy caused these wounds since Leah was going to save Han, who was not even in the commercial
building.
Until now, she realized that if Jackson had put Han in danger, she could not change anything.
She was so weak and insignificant that she could not even guarantee her safety.
While she was lost in thought, Hendrik gently applied the medicine to her wound. The nurse replaced
the dressing with a new gauze, re-wrapping her wound.
"Why did you go there?" Hendrik said coldly.
She would have been gone if he had not realized Jackson's plan in advance and sent his people to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrescue her.
He wanted to know the reason why she suddenly went to that kind of place.
Leah was stunned. "I... I just heard someone was trapped inside and wanted to save him..."
She did not say that person was Han, and Hendrik did not ask any further.
He looked at her and said, "Before you do a good deed next time, think about how capable you are."
This sarcastic remark, similar to Han's attitude, suddenly startled Leah.
Hendrik and Han were alike, whether it was the faintly discernible cold fragrance on them or their cold
and indifferent voices.
Especially the tone of ridicule when he occasionally scolded her.
If Han had not been so gentle with her, Leah would have suspected they were the same person.
"You are Hendrik, right?" Leah asked with a slight smile.
"Yes," he replied.
"Good. Perhaps someday you will harm me for your benefit. I hope you will be honest with me. I… don't
like being deceived," Leah said with a smile.
She had never liked the fact that Hendrik was Han. She cherished him as her friend.
Under his mask, Han frowned. After a long pause, he responded, "Okay."
Has she noticed something?
…
In the CEO's office of the Ford Group, Shawn kicked his assistant far away. His eyes were red with
rage. "How dare you! How dare you try to kill Sarah without permission!"
The assistant coughed up blood but refused to back down. "Boss, even if you kill me today, I won't
regret what I did that day…. Think about how much workforce and resources you have wasted on Ms.
White all these years. We can't take it anymore. I'm afraid the workforce you have built up will
crumble..."
"That's not for you to decide!" Shawn spat in anger. "This is a plan from Jackson, right? I'll give you the
last chance to make up for it by bringing that old man to me!"
Although that man was despicable, he was a weapon to be used against Han!
