Chapter 150

Chapter 151 Bad Attitude

Leanna could guess why the nurse was reluctant. Of course that b*stard told her not to. She said,

“Forget it. Thanks.” She lay back down and closed her eyes.

Jonathan and Aidan were outside. Jonathan asked, “Are you going in, sir?”

Aidan looked away. “Why should I? So she can mock me again?” he asked coldly.

Jonathan muttered, “She’s just angry at you. You can just talk to her again when she’s calm and better.”

Aidan asked, “Who else came today?”

“Mr. Gordon, Mr. Justin, and Miss Crossley. They couldn’t come in though.”

Their men had taken over the hospital after Leanna was out of the woods. None of the Pearsons could

come in. Gordon was furious when he was denied entry, but he could do nothing in public, so he just

went back home.

Aidan sat down on the chair outside the ward and said, “I bet he’s dying to know what happened.”

“I’ve handled that, sir. No problemo.”

Aidan said, “Tell him about the ‘miscarriage’. Dash his hopes.”

“Yes, sir.” But Mr. Gordon is paranoid. He’s not gonna believe it just like that. I gotta be more prepared.

One of Aidan’s underlings called after Jonathan left. “Someone got past us, sir.”

Aidan was not surprised. “I see.”

Sounds of hurried footsteps rang in the corridor, and in came Zayn. When he saw Aidan, Zayn strode

up to him and hurled a punch at his face. His eyes were bloodshot. “What the f*ck are you doing,

Pearson? How could you let this happen?”

Aidan had a deadpan look. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and looked at Zayn. “Don’t

yell at me. You didn’t do a good job protecting her either.”

Zayn laughed mirthlessly. “Yeah, like how you f*cked up your job too! She wouldn’t have married you if

I just paid more attention to her back then. None of this would have happened!”

Zoe finally caught up with Zayn. She could feel a headache coming on. She muttered, “Do you guys

wanna settle this somewhere else? She’s right inside. She can hear you.”

Zayn calmed down a little when he heard her. He took a deep breath and ignored Aidan. He looked into

the ward, but Leanna was still lying in the same position, as if she was asleep.

Zoe opened the door and went inside. “Nana.” She stood beside the bed.

Leanna opened her eyes when she heard her friend’s voice.

Zoe went around to the window’s side and sat beside her bed. She looked at her pale friend for a

moment. Zoe wanted to console her, but she could not even say a word, and her eyes glistened with

tears.

Leanna smiled at her. “Don’t cry. I’m fine. I’ll be out of here in no time.”

Zoe sniffled and wiped her tears away. “I see. Get some rest. I’m here for you.”

“Yeah.” Leanna asked, “How did you know where to find me?”

“I couldn’t get through to you, and I had no idea what to do, so I met up with Zayn. He took me here.”

Leanna was silent for a moment. “What about Louis? Does he know anything about this?”

“I haven’t told him anything. Don’t worry.”

“Tell Zayn I said thanks, Zoe. I want to sleep now.”

“Sure.”

Zayn was right outside, so he heard what Leanna said. He nodded at Zoe and closed the door for

them.

Aidan was still sitting on the chair. He did not seem to be leaving.

Zayn looked at him and hissed, “Stop harassing her. You’re about to get married.” As he spoke, he let

out a bitter laugh. “I should also take my own advice.” That was why he only stayed outside of the

ward. He knew there was no way they could be a couple ever again. He couldn’t go after her, and he

didn’t dare to hope for anything anymore. He then left without even looking at Aidan.

Aidan pursed his lips, and he slowly clenched his fists.

Zoe sat around for a while. She knew Leanna was awake, so she whispered, “Do you want some

water, Nana?”

Leanna only answered a few moments later, “No.”

“I see. Are you hungry? Should I talk with the doctor? See what you can eat?”

Leanna slowly opened her eyes. “Zoe.”

Zoe approached her. “What do you need?”

Leanna looked ahead calmly. “I’m fine. Just go home.”

“No. I can’t leave you alone, not when you’re in this state.”

Leanna smiled, and she looked at her. “I’m fine. I’ll be out in a few days.” She kept telling Zoe to go

home, but her friend refused. Leanna relented in the end. She then said, “Zoe, can you take a look at

Ron? He’s in the ICU.”

“Ron?” She remembered that name, and she was surprised. “You mean the guy who helped Queenie?”

Leanna nodded. “He wanted to kidnap me, but ironically, he’s the one who saved me.” Sienna wanted

me dead. The faulty brake is just one of her traps. She might have more traps lying in wait even after I

got out of the mountain.

Zoe thought about it. “Sure. I’ll be back in a minute.” She wanted to see the doctor anyway to find out

how Leanna was doing.

Leanna sat up and put her hand on her belly after Zoe left. She stared out at the window aimlessly. It

was starting to cool down, and a drizzle fell upon the city. The room was suffocating. A long while later,

someone came inside. Leanna thought it was Zoe, but when she turned around, she realized that it

was Aidan. Instead of flying into a rage, she smiled. “So, have you decided to kill me off?”

Aidan stared at her and closed the door silently.

Leanna shifted her gaze to look out the window again.

Aidan stood beside her bed. He said, “Leanna, you have to realize it’s not my fault the baby’s gone. I

told you everyone in my family’s a liar.”

“I know. You told me that this is the price I have to pay.” Leanna was calm. “But I just lost my baby. I

really don’t need you to shower me with your sass.”

Aidan felt like exploding with anger. He took a deep breath. “And I would appreciate it if you don’t give

me attitude.”

Leanna looked at him in amusement. “You can always leave if you’re annoyed.”
