For the first time in his life, it felt like the hardest task ever for Aidan to communicate with her. The
worst thing is… she looks like she doesn't even know what she did wrong!
This had only fueled his anger more.
With zero ounce of patience remaining, he stood up and left.
Leanna sighed helplessly as she watched his outraged silhouette departing. As expected, I was too
late in repaying him…
A short while later, Harvey entered the room with Zoe.
Since there was still lots of work pending at the show, he did not stay for long as he merely chatted for
a short while and told Leanna to rest up before leaving.
Sitting by her side, Zoe sighed, "You're finally awake, Nana. You scared the life out of me. What
happened? Why were you poisoned?"
Unsure of the source of poisoning, Leanna shook her head. After she arrived at the fashion show, she
did not ingest anything and her stomach was cleared after puking everything she had for breakfast and
lunch.
If she had to take a guess, then it must be the water that she had ingested.
But, everybody was drinking from the same source. So, why am I the one with the problem?
Zoe quickly took her phone out to text someone. "Oh right, Zayn told me to inform him once you wake
up."
Closing her eyes, Leanna knew that if it was not for Zayn, she would have been in big trouble and her
baby would be endangered.
After Zoe sent the message, she patted Leanna on the shoulder. "Okay now. You shouldn't carry any
burdens too. Regarding the two of you…You should just let fate decide and not force anything. But,
don't escape from it either."
In reality, she and Zayn should have been together way back then, yet fate had other plans for them.
Noticing that Leanna had a heavy expression, Zoe added, "The doctor mentioned that the baby is safe.
But, they will still observe you closely for the next few days, so just rest up. Do not, and I repeat, do not
let this happen again."
The woman in bed slightly nodded and uttered, "Just head back and rest. I'm fine now."
Her voice was rather hoarse.
Although her throat was sore, it did not mean that she could not speak; she just merely did not want to
talk with Aidan.
"I'm not going to do that. I'll stay here and keep you company," Zoe replied.
"You don't have to. If I need anything, I can ring the nurses for help. There must still be a lot to deal
with at the show. Quickly, go on."
Recently, restlessness did not only catch up to Leanna but Zoe as well. Still, Leanna was able to catch
a few winks more than her friend as she had a baby to take care of. On the other hand, Zoe had not
gotten some shuteye for quite a long time now.
After thinking it through, she conformed. "Okay, then. I'll come tomorrow. Remember to press the bell if
you need anything and don't try to stand up."
Leanna smiled. "Don't worry."
After Zoe left, Leanna absent-mindedly sat on the bed for quite a while.
Some time had passed before her thoughts slowly came back to her as her stomach rumbled loudly.
Hungry…
She was so hungry that she could not sleep.
Since the time was late, Leanna felt embarrassed to ring the bell for this. She sat up cautiously and
slowly walked with the help of the wall, thinking that she could seek help at the nurse's station.
However, she had reached the entrance of the ward when the door suddenly opened. Caught off
guard, she fell backward in shock.
At that moment, her wrist was grabbed and an upset voice questioned, "Why are you walking around?"
She was speechless at this sight.
Why hasn't he left yet?
After stabilizing herself, she licked her dry lips and stated, "I'm hungry."
Shooting a glance at her, Aidan replied, "Go lie back down."
From his gaze, she could tell that he found her troublesome.
Still, she lacked the strength to argue with him right now, so she could only use the wall and slowly
retraced her steps.
"Stay there. I'll be back soon," he reminded before closing the door.
Leanna did not reply to him. God, why is he coming back again!
After the brief interruption, hunger had taken over her body and she had started to feel numb about it.
At the thought of Aidan coming by later, she did not even have the mood to eat as she pulled her
sheets and decided to sleep instead.
Just as she was entering deep sleep, the blanket covering her was tossed aside. "Eat before you
sleep."
Looking up, she was shocked to see the food located beside her.
Did he buy food for me?
"Do you need me to mouth feed you?" he asked sarcastically after receiving no reaction.
Leanna's mouth twitched as she did not want food given to her out of pity.
"I suddenly remembered that I was poisoned, so I should not be able to eat yet…"
"I've already inquired with the doctor. You're suffering from mild poisoning. If you feel better after
waking up, then you can eat solid foods." He then pursed his lips and continued, "Seeing that you
moved around just to find food, that means that you should be fine."
Gripping the bed sheet involuntarily, she became alert after hearing that he had consulted the doctor.
"You consulted the doctor? What… did he tell you?"
"What else is there besides mild poisoning?"
His words relieved her as she laughed awkwardly to disguise her true concern. "It's nothing. Since my
stomach is sick, I thought that the doctor would forbid me from eating."
Aidan looked at her before retrieving a box of food from the bag and placed it in front of her. "It's
nothing too serious. Eat up."
Truth was, he went straight to the doctor's office after he exited angrily from her ward.
It might have been because Zayn was alongside Leanna when she was admitted to the hospital, so the
doctor had assumed that he was the husband and father of the baby.
Therefore, when the actual baby's father had come to ask about her condition, the doctor assumed that
he was merely a co-worker who was assigned to visit, based on his cold look. Hence, he only stated
about her mild poisoning while withholding the information that she was pregnant.
While staring at the box of food before her, Leanna found her stomach rumbling again. My baby must
be famished too.
At that, she stopped hesitating and picked up the spoon to eat.
However, she noticed that not only did Aidan not leave, but he sat back down on the couch and started
sifting through documents on his phone.
Confused by his actions, she accidentally choked onto her food.
"Am I affecting your appetite here?" The commotion had him looking up and asking.
"That's not it. It's so late now, though… Aren't you returning home, President Pearson?"
"What home?"
After mocking himself, he then directed his gaze at her. "After your meal, I have something to ask you."
What he meant was that she should be eating quicker and not waste his time.
In actual fact, Leanna did not catch on to what he said in the former part of his sentence as he was
speaking too softly though what she did hear at the end of his sentence had made her lose appetite for
her meal.
What is he going to pin on me this time? Did I forget about anything else besides owing him money?
This inherently caused Leanna to eat her food in a sour mood. When she finished, she put the spoon
down and asked, "What do you want to ask about, President Pearson?"
"The reason for our divorce."
Not this again…
After all, this was the last thing that she expected him to ask after all the effort he spent to stay out late
and buy food for her.
Still, she was just ready to speak when Aidan interrupted, "I don't wanna hear any excuses. I've known
everything."
