Chapter 542


    Aidan entered the ward after the police left and saw Leanna sitting there, looking dejected. He went


    over and asked, "Are you still dizzy?"


    Leanna looked longingly at him and replied, "I''m hungry."


    Aidan was speechless for a moment before saying, "I''ll ask the doctor what you''re allowed to eat."


    Leanna nodded, but just as Aidan was about to leave, she took his hand. "By the way, are you done


    with work? I''m fine now. If you''re busy…"


    Aidan lifted his hand to flick her forehead, but seeing as her head was bandaged, he didn''t have the


    heart to do so. As such, he flicked her nose instead and questioned, "What on earth is on your mind?"


    Leanna stroked her nose but didn''t argue with him. She exined, "In the past, I didn''t think it was hard


    to manage apany, but it wasn''t until I started working at the Crossley Group that I realized it takes


    a lot of time and effort to run a business, not to mention that the Pearson Group is a significantlyrger


    company. If you still have some work to do, you don''t have to keep mepany."


    "Stop worrying so much and get some sleep."


    "I can''t sleep. I''m hungry."


    Aidan said, "I''ll look for the doctor now. Stay still."


    Leanna replied, "Okay."


    After Aidan was gone, Leanna leaned against the headboard and found her phone on the bedside


    table. Around 30 minutes ago, Zoe sent her a message to ask if she had reached home. Leanna


    replied that she was home, but since she felt dizzy again, she put down her phone and closed her


    eyes.


    Soon, Aidan returned to the ward with a takeout bag. Catching a whiff of the food''s aroma, Leanna felt


    more energetic at once. Aidan put down the bag and moved the overbed table closer to her. Just as


    Leanna was about to reach for the cutlery, the man said, "Stay put."


    As such, she leaned against the headboard once more. Aidan took a seat beside the bed and fished


    out a spoon. Then, he scooped up a spoonful of rice, cooled it down, then held it out for her. Leanna''s


    lips curved into a smile when she saw that. Aidan arched his brow. "Are you a fool or something?"


    Leanna didn''t quite understand his words. "Huh?"


    "You''re smiling like a fool on the bed."


    Leanna exined, "It''s my first time seeing you take care of anyone. It just feels…"


    "Go on."


    "It just feels strange."


    Aidan was speechless at that.

    Just then, Leanna started beaming as though she hadn''t been so pleased for a long time. After she


    finished the bowl of beef rice, she felt much better. Then, she called out, "Aidan."


    The man responded huskily, "Yeah?"


    "When will I be discharged from the hospital?"


    Aidan asked, "Do you no longer feel dizzy?"


    Leanna felt silent for a moment, for she was still somewhat light-headed. Then, Aidan moved the


    overbed table away. "Don''t think about getting discharged for now. Just stay here for a couple of days


    without worrying about anything else."


    "But…"


    Aidan nced at her with a slightly stern gaze, and Leanna immediately kept her mouth shut. Only


    then did Aidan go on to say, "Freddie will take care of the Crossley Group while a few of our men will


    keep an eye on Jimmy. There''s nothing you have to worry about."


    Just as Leanna wanted to say something, Aidan interrupted her by uttering, "I''ve asked Jonathan to


    look into the corruption cases involving Jimmy over the years. When he gets the evidence, he''ll pass it


    to your people."


    Hearing that, Leanna knew there was nothing else she had to worry about. Just then, Aidan''s phone


    started ringing. He took a look and said, "I need to answer this call. Get some rest first."


    "Alright."


    After Aidan left, Leanna started yawning. She felt sleepy because she was stuffed. Then, she ced


    the pillow on the bed andy down before closing her eyes. When Aidan returned, Leanna was already


    sound asleep. He took off his coat andy down beside her. After pulling her into his embrace, he


    landed a kiss on her bandaged forehead.


    …


    After staying in the hospital for two days, Leanna felt that she had mostly recovered. She reckoned that


    she could leave the hospital the next day. Just as she was spacing out, she heard someone knocking


    on the door outside the ward. She looked up and saw Daphne entering the ward with a bunch of


    flowers. After closing the door, Daphne took off her face mask and asked, "I hope I didn''t disturb you."


    Leanna was startled for a moment before asking, "Why are you here?"


    She had never told anyone that she was involved in a car ident, including Zoe and Louis, for she


    was worried they would get too anxious.


    Daphne put the flowers down on the windowsill. "President Pearson told me toe over and talk to


    you. He was worried you''d feel lonely."


    Leanna let out a dryugh, thinking that the man could be quite over-the-top sometimes. She then said,


    "Ignore him. If you''re busy with work, you can leave anytime. I suppose I''ll be able to leave the hospital


    tomorrow."


    Daphne sat down on the chair beside the bed. "I just concluded my roadshow, so I don''t have any work


    for the time being. If President Pearson never told me about it, I wouldn''t have known you were


    involved in a car ident. Didn''t you tell Zoe and… Louis?"


    Leanna shook her head. "It''s no big deal. It was just an ident, and I''ll only make them worried if I tell


    them about it."


    At the mention of Zoe, Daphne asked curiously, "How is it going between Daniel and Zoe?"


    "Daniel has been taking care of her at her home for the past few days. I think there''s something


    romantic going on between them."


    "I share the same sentiment. Zoe is beautiful, so I''m sure Daniel is attracted to her. Moreover, they''ve


    already made love, so there''s no way they don''t have feelings for each other. It''ll be embarrassing if


    they don''t end up together."


    Leanna found the other woman sensible. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you contacted


    Louis recently?"


    Daphne was peeling an orange. "No, we stopped contacting each other after I went on my roadshow."


    "Perhaps he''s just busy with university."


    Daphne nodded and passed her the peeled orange. Leanna took it, and after giving it some thought,


    she asked, "How''s his venture into showbiz?"


    Daphne replied, "Didn''t he tell you about it?"


    "No, we haven''t met each other for quite a while, and I know nothing about showbiz."


    Daphne said, "I heard that hispany is going to produce a talent show, and he''ll be the main star.


    Don''t worry. Given how handsome your brother looks, he''ll attract millions of young girls even if he just


    stands there and does nothing."


    She said, "By the way, I talked to him before, and he told me that he''s in love with someone. Do you


    know who that might be?"


    Hearing that, Leanna choked on the orange and started coughing. Daphne promptly patted her back


    and asked doubtfully, "You have no idea, do you?"


    "No… I just stuffed too many orange slices into my mouth earlier. Did he really tell you that?"


    "Yeah, but he didn''t tell me who she was, and he ignored me when I kept asking."


    Leanna pursed her lips for a moment before replying, "Perhaps he thinks that the person he''s fond of


    doesn''t love him back, so he felt too embarrassed to tell you about it."


    Daphne waved her hand. "That''s impossible. You''re underestimating your brother''s charm. I can assure


    you that young women these days love men like him."
