Chapter 524

Luckily, the food Leanna ordered was bland dishes. Once they were done eating, she took some medication and

poured Aidan a cup of water before placing them before him. "Take some of this first. If your fever still doesn't

subside tonight, we'll go to the hospital tomorrow."

He placed the pills in his mouth before picking up the cup and took a drink as his Adam's apple bobbed. Then, he

assured her, "I'm fine. I'll feel better after resting for a few days."

She knew he did not have enough rest during the few days he was in Lachstein as he rode a helicopter back

overnight. Even the healthiest person could not withstand such exhaustion.

"Have some rest. I'm going to take a shower," she said.

Grabbing her wrist, Aidan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about together?"

That left Leanna speechless. She slapped his hand away and criticized, "You're already not feeling well. Can't you

behave for once?" While saying that, she grabbed her clothes and went straight into the bathroom.

Judging by his change of clothes, he must've already taken a bath after coming home. Since he's such a neat freak,

how could he have lied down in bed right after taking such a long helicopter ride?

After taking a bath, Leanna felt a lot of the fatigue she had accumulated these two days had dissipated. When she

came out, Aidan was taking a call on the balcony.

Seeing that, she did not disturb him and went into the bedroom. The phone call lasted for half an hour.

When she saw his return, she asked, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing. Just some unimportant, trivial things." He walked over to her and lay beside her. Then, he turned off

the lights and pulled her into his embrace before whispering, "Let's sleep."

She had taken a long nap that afternoon and was no longer tired. While shutting her eyes, she felt more awake the

longer she tried to sleep.

After tossing and turning a few times, Aidan asked, "Can't sleep?"

Leanna whispered, "Did I wake you up? Why don't I head outside…"

Just as she was about to get up, he wrapped his hand around her waist and stopped her. "No need for that. I can't

sleep either."

Without waiting for him to continue, she urged, "Even if you can't sleep, you should close your eyes and take a rest.

Clear your dirty thoughts."

He went silent for a moment before chuckling softly and whispering in her ear, "What dirty thoughts?"

However, Leanna ignored him and stayed silent, so he moved his palm under her clothes and placed it on her waist

before asking in a husky voice, "Tell me—what was so dirty about my thoughts?"

Pinning Aidan's hand down, she explained, "Just… don't think about anything. You'll fall asleep once you close your

eyes."

A few seconds later, his voice sounded in the dark. "Leanna."

"What do you want?"

"When I was missing, were you afraid you might never see me again?"

Recalling what she said at Crossley Group, she blushed and stammered, "Why are you bringing this up?"

Aidan replied, "No reason. I just want some confirmation."

"Didn't I already say that this afternoon?"

"I wanna hear it again."

She was at a loss for words and whispered, "Why are you so sentimental while you're sick?"

He asked, "Sentimental?"

"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that…" Leanna became serious. "Don't ever get yourself into danger again. I'll

be worried sick."

While hugging her, Aidan hummed a reply. Now that he had set the scene, he continued, "This counts as me coming

back from the dead, so shouldn't I get a reward?"

She was confused. What nonsense is he talking about?

His voice echoed again. "For example, when I made you unhappy or angry, you would immediately forgive me."

"That depends on the situation."

"What are those situations?"

"If you argued with me for no reason, I would've looked past it and forgiven you."

Feeling unsatisfied, Aidan argued, "When have I ever been unreasonable?"

Leanna replied honestly, "Always."

While sticking his tongue against his teeth, Aidan was silent for a moment before saying, "What about the other

situations?"

Leanna rebuked, "What other situations do you have? Does cheating count? You've already fallen for another

woman, yet you're still worried I might be mad?"

"What? There's no such thing."

"Then, what are you implying?"

He closed his eyes. "Nothing. Let's sleep. I'm suddenly tired."

That left Leanna speechless. He has learned the essence of being perfunctory.

Since she still could not sleep, she tried to get out of his embrace to head outside and continue her designs. Yet,

when she moved, he held onto her tighter. "Didn't you say you'd fall asleep after closing your eyes?"

"I lied."

He did not know how to respond.

After a while, she called out to him. "Aidan, are you asleep?"

"No."

Lightly pursing her lips, she said, "William looked for me last night."

"Did you see him?"

"No. He stayed in his car," Leanna explained. "Also, he was the one who helped me during the Crossley Group's

crisis."

"That's what he should've done. You don't need to feel like you owe him anything."

She sighed. "Although you're right, I—"

Knowing what she was thinking, Aidan reasoned, "That wasn't your choice. It was his. In other words, that was the

best solution at that moment."

She understood that fact and could only let it be.

If she wanted to protect Louis, she would have to act like she was clueless—even if that person was her biological

father.

Leanna did not know when she fell asleep, but Aidan was no longer lying beside her when she awoke.

While rubbing her eyes, she made her way to the living room, where she saw him sitting before a computer

working.

Still drowsy, she went over to him and almost entirely relied on her instincts to feel his forehead before sighing in

relief. "That's good. You're not running a fever anymore."

Aidan smiled and grabbed her hand. "I told you I'd be fine."

While Leanna stood there, she sobered up a little. "Aren't you going to the company today?"

"No. I'm staying with you today."

She went quiet for a while. "I'm very busy."

Since there was not much to do at Crossley Group, she could take this chance to head back to her studio and check

up on Zoe.

Aidan asked, "I know you're busy, but can't you spare some time at night for me?"

Smiling, she teased, "I'll think about it."

He replied, "Are you going to the studio?"

She nodded in response. "What about you? Are you going to stay at home?"

"I'm going to visit the Pearsons."

Hearing that, Leanna was surprised. "What for?"

He explained, "You disappeared at the Pearsons. How can I not go there and demand an explanation?"

"But—"

"Don't worry. It's just a visit. I'll pick you up tonight."

However, Leanna knew it would not be as innocent as a visit. There had to be something else.

She nodded. "Okay." Then, she added, "I'll wash up now. Be careful when you head to the Pearsons, and you better

not confront them head-on."

Now that Gordon had thoughts about killing him, Aidan would not be safe if he went to the Pearson Family Estate

alone.
