Chapter 32


    Chapter 32 The Reason for Our Divorce For the first time in his life, it felt like the hardest task ever for


    Aidan tomunicate 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 whileter, 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


    ns 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 youpany,” 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’lle 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 waste, 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 nce 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 heing 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 Aidaning byter, 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 nket 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 sheughed 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 ced 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 identally choked onto her food. “Am I affecting your appetite


    here?” Themotion had him looking up and asking. “That’s not it. It’s sote 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 thest thing that she expected him to ask after all the effort he


    spent to stay outte 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.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
