Chapter 216


    Chapter 216 How Did I Come Home Last Night? When Leanna woke up the next day, her body was


    weak and she could not prop herself up at all. As she opened her eyes and struggled to sit up, it felt


    like her whole world was spinning for a moment. Shaking her head vigorously, she ran to the bathroom


    as she held back her vomit. After a long time, she finally walked out of the bedroom while rubbing her


    stomach. She had an ashen look on her face that was coupled with clear difort.


    Zoe heard the noise from outside and poked her head out of the kitchen. “Nana, you’re awake! I’m


    making you some hangover juice. It’ll be ready in a bit. Give me a minute.” Leanna pulled out a chair at


    the dining table and sat down before resting her head weakly on the table. “Okay…” After a few


    minutes, Zoe came out with a ss of hangover juice. “Nana, quickly drink up.” As soon as Leanna


    picked up the ss, a nauseous feeling surged within her again. She retched several times, but


    nothing came out. Momentster, she managed to drink the hangover cure albeit with difficulty. Gosh,


    I’ve never felt this ufortable in a while. This is worse than when I had morning sickness. Once she


    finished her juice, she plopped herself onto the table again as if she was going back to sleep. Zoe sat


    across her with her hands on the table. Then, she tentatively pried, “Nana, do you remember how you


    got drunkst night?” As her eyes slowly widened, Leanna tried to recallst night’s event. “That


    b*stard told me to apany him to a card game and told me to help with his deck of cards…”


    “Then?” Zoe immediately asked. “Then…” Leanna trailed off. The memories fromst night gradually


    began to resurface in her mind. She recalled that she met Maya in the bathroom; when she returned,


    everyone else had left with only Aidan left. Initially, she wanted to leave, but he pressured her to drink


    by saying that she should at least show some ‘sincerity’. Leanna had no recollection of how many


    sses she had and her mind went nk after that.


    When she thought of this, she suddenly raised her head and asked, “Oh. How did Ie homest


    night?” Zoe let out a cough and replied ordingly to what Aidan told her to say, “I picked you up.” This


    made Leanna wonder. “Did I call you?” “No, the waiter did. He said that you were drunk and passed out


    in the private room. Then, he told me toe and pick you up.” Leanna rested her chin on her hand


    with a stunned look on her face as she stared ahead nkly. After a long while, she finally said, “Oh.”


    Then, Zoe mmed her hand onto the table angrily to sell the story further. “That b*stard is really


    something else! How could he leave you lying there alone in unconsciousness?! He has no


    conscience!” However, Leanna shook her head and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s better that way.” It


    seemed like Aidan’s reputation was really down the drain now. “Nana, are you not upset that that


    b*stard is treating you like this?” Zoe asked softly. Hearing this, Leanna smiled faintly. “It’s better for me


    to ept this than to drag things on until it gets worse.” Frankly speaking, what happenedst night


    was nothing inparison to their history. If they continued to be entangled like this, she could not


    guarantee what would happen in the future. Therefore, she was fairly satisfied with the oue today.


    Then, she stood up from the table. “Give me a minute.


    I’ll get changed and we can head to the studio.” “You can rest at home today and I’ll handle the studio


    alone. You probably won’t be able to work either, seeing how you are now,” Zoe offered. As soon as


    Leanna stood up, she felt her head spin again. This time, she did not try to put up a strong front as she


    nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll return to sleep, then.” “All right. There’s food in the fridge. You can heat it


    up when you’re awaketer.” After Zoe left, Leanna slept until 4.00PM. When she sat up and rubbed


    her temples, she did not feel as dizzy as she was before. Once she took a hot shower, she felt a lot


    better. She stretched her neck as she walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen. After finishing her


    meal, she looked at her phone before finally deciding to drop by Louis’ school. He did not exin much


    about what happened when he met Daphne over their phone conversation, which made Leanna feel a


    little uneasy. Today was thest day of their final exam. Many students who were done with their


    papers left the schools in groups, dragging their suitcases behind them. Leanna approached one of


    them and learned that those from Louis’ major had finished their papers in the morning. The student


    also mentioned that he was at the cafe where he usually worked part-time. When she arrived there, the


    cafe owner informed her, “He went to the police station.”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    “Police station?” Leanna was surprised to hear this. “Yeah. Just the day before yesterday, there was a


    high schooler that deliberately set up a trap. Fortunately, he was caught on the spot. Didn’t Louis tell


    you?” This made her frown as she shook her head and asked, “Which station?” After the cafe owner


    told her, she thanked him and quickly turned to leave. Although she knew that things would not be as


    simple and easy as Louis told her on the phone, she did not expect it to be so severe. When Leanna


    arrived at the hospital, Louis was just watching the surveince clip with the police from that night. As


    soon as Louis saw her, he could not help but frown. “What are you doing here?” “You didn’t tell me that


    such a major thing happened, yet you dare to question why I’m here?” she retorted angrily. After saying


    that, she turned to the police and said, “I’m his sister and legal guardian.” Hearing this, the policeman


    nodded. “Then, let’s watch it together.” Subsequently, Leanna fixed her eyes on the screen in front of


    her. After watching the footage for a while, her brows knitted together. “Can you go back a little?” Once


    the tape was rewound, she requested again, “Can you zoom in a little?” Although the surrounding was


    dim and blurry, she could recognise the girl in the surveince footage. “Do you know this person?” the


    cop asked. Louis also turned over to look at her when he heard the question. Leanna pursed her lips


    and answered slowly, “A few days ago, her mother kepting by my ce to cause a scene.” “Do


    you know anything about their identity?”


    the cop asked again. “I called the cops. There should be a record of it.” After the cop checked with her


    regarding the police station she went to, they told the two siblings to stay put for a moment while they


    contacted the other police station for information. Once the cop left, Louis immediately asked, “When


    did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” “You were having exams. It wasn’t a big deal,” Leanna


    answered. She never expected that he would be dragged into this mess as well. She then made a wild


    guess that the other party must have pre-nned this. However, since the middle-aged woman never


    showed up again, she brushed it off as her overthinking the matter up until now. Judging from this


    situation, it seemed like those people not only knew about her rtionship with Louis, but they were


    alsoing at them for some reason. No. To be precise, they wereing for her.
