Han was already gone when Leah finished her bath.
She walked out to the garden. Someone was arguing about something.
“Sarah, it is good that you are here.” Sunny’s eyes lit up when he saw Leah.
Leah’s hair was still wet from the bath. She was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts
slightly above her knees. Her exposed legs were intriguing.
Leah had an innocent look that made people not take their eyes away from her.
“What’s happening?” asked Leah.
“The gentleman we rescued yesterday insisted on getting his things from his car down the
hill, but the road condition is still too dangerous. Also, there’s a possibility of landslides
too. We couldn’t stop him from going, but perhaps you can try to talk to him?”
Leah frowned.
She could guess the reason Han insisted on going. Most likely, he could not stand being in
his dirty clothes any longer and wanted to change into clean clothes.
Suddenly, Leah wanted to laugh.
Han Howard, born with a silver spoon, never had to endure such hardship.
“No, he can do whatever he wants. We are here as volunteer teachers, not as his servant,”
Leah declined.
Sunny was startled at Leah’s words.
He thought Leah would be more polite even though she disliked Han, considering his
identity.
Sunny did not expect Leah to budge even a little.

Han scowled when he heard Leah’s words. He turned and went into his room.
“Is everyone ready? Let’s go now,” said Leah as she packed her things.
“Miss White, what about the gentleman from yesterday? Is he following us?” asked Gracia.
“You should ask him. He has a fever,” said Leah flatly.
“Oh? He has a fever?” Gracia looked worried. She played with her shirt and bit her lips.
When everyone finished packing and was about to leave, Gracia announced. “You all go
ahead. I’ll stay back to take care of the gentleman. He shouldn’t be left alone with a
fever.”
Serena made a weird face after hearing Gracia’s words. “Do you think she is interested in
Han Howard?” she asked Leah.
Serena knew Han’s identity from the fashion week.
“I don’t know.” Leah shrugged her shoulders.
No one said anything since Gracia volunteered to stay back. So everyone left for school
with their backpacks.
The road condition became worse after the heavy rain. Leah was struggling to keep her
steps steady.
“Ah!” Suddenly, Leah let out a soft scream because she accidentally stepped on a stone
and almost twisted her ankle.
A warm hand held her waist.
Leah lifted her head and saw Sunny’s warm and friendly face.
“Be careful, Miss White.” They locked eyes.
His hand never left Leah’s waist.
Leah twisted her body awkwardly to get away from Sunny’s hand. “Thank you very much
for taking care of me on behalf of Ian.”
Leah emphasized Ian’s name deliberately like she was reminding Sunny of something.
Indeed, Sunny’s expression dulled when he heard Leah’s words.
Leah caught a glimpse of an incomprehensible expression in Sunny’s eyes.
After that, Sunny never attempted to touch Leah again.
When they arrived at the school, they found that the condition of the school was worse
than expected. The building was leaking from wind and rain, and the desks and chairs
were made with scrap wood.
Even so, all the children looked at the broken podium enthusiastically, eager to learn from
their teachers.
The children were excited at the arrival of Leah and her friends.
The children’s teacher explained why Leah and her friends were visiting their school, and
everyone welcomed them with applause.
At first, Leah thought it might be hard to communicate with the children.
However, the children were surprisingly friendly and showed great interest in everything
Leah showed them.
Besides teaching, Leah also gave the children some presents.
They had a busy day at school.
By the time they left, everyone was reluctant to leave the children, especially Serena,
even though they dirtied her expensive clothes.
Six of them left the school with different thoughts in their minds. Leah and Serena thought
about improving the condition of those poor children.

Then, they saw Gracia come over in a hurry. “That gentleman insisted on getting down the
hill. I couldn’t stop him.”
Everyone looked terrified because getting injured in the jungle would be horrible.
Sunny looked at Leah.
Leah looked seemingly frustrated. She was very irritated at Han’s action.
Didn’t we tell him not to leave?
“Cindy, should we search for him?” asked Serena quietly by Leah’s ear.
Leah looked up into the sky.
The sun had already started to set when they returned from school.
“How long has he been gone?” Leah asked Gracia.
“About three hours,” answered Gracia.
Three hours later, Han could have left the place in his car already. Furthermore, he had a
phone. So he would call someone if he needed help.
“No need to look for him. All of you must be very tired. Get some rest,” said Leah as she
stretched herself.
Serena hesitated. She worried that Han might be in some trouble. “Why don’t we go and
look for him first?”
“Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.” Leah shook her head.
He will not die before he gets his revenge on me.
Hearing Leah’s words. Serena kept silent, even though she was still worried.
Leah got to bed early after dinner and showered because she was exhausted.
In the middle of the night, she sensed a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.
