The ward was quiet.
"Who is it?"
Aleigha thought for a moment and asked.
"Aubrianna."
Hearing this name, Aleigha was not surprised. She smiled and said, "She made you angry."
A touch smiling flashed across Adrian's eyes. He nodded, "Very."
"Jaidyn must be difficult."
"Yes, he was."
"What are you planning to do?" Aleigha stretched out her hand and landed it on the back of Adrian's hand.
As feeling Aleigha' s warmth, Adrian was distracted from thinking.
"I thought I would be heartless to her, but I still saved her life at the last moment."
Aleigha nodded. She gently caressed Adrian's hand with her fingertips. "Just follow your mind."
"You can go home in a few days. The doctor said that you were injured before, with the new wound, you should rest more and should be well taken care of. When you fully recover, let's hold the wedding."
The car accident broke Adrian’s plan, which made him annoyed.
"Okay. It's too late. You should go back."
Seeing Adrian, she was as if seeing stars shining.
"I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll wait until you asleep before leaving."
Aleigha closed her eyes, and soon she let out soft breathing sounds.
Adrian walked out of the ward and sat on the lounge chair.
"Mr. Xiao, Jaidyn’s people nosed out the news of Aubrianna."
Adrian's face relaxed and he let out a faint 'hmm' sound.
In the middle of the night, Adrian left the hospital. Just as his car went away, a black car followed behind.
When he arrived home, he got off of his car. Not far away, a person got off from the following car.
In the darkness, Adrian's alert eyes darkened.
"Come out!"
"It's me."
A person emerged from the shadows. It was
Lennon, whom he had not showed up for a very long time.
"What's the matter?" Adrian's look was serious, and his tone contained a hint of impatience.
"Adrian, I'm broke."
Lennon looked at Adrian, who kept smoking the cigarette with a pair of dim eyes.
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Adrian, I can't be as lucky as I was last time. Now that I have nothing left, can you let me see Aleigha?"
"See Aleigha?"
A mocking glint appeared in Adrian's eyes, and he said indifferently, "What makes you think you can come beg me?"
"Adrian, don't go too far. I just want to see Aleigha."
Lennon's anger was ignited by Adrian’s arrogance, which Lennon hated the most.
Seeing that he was getting angry, Adrian took a look at his watch, "It was already 3 am."
"Please!"
Lennon implored in an ignoble way.
"I don't allow anyone to disturb Aleigha at this time. If you insist on doing so, you may end up worse than you think."
After speaking, Adrian turned around and left.
Lennon was left behind. He stood alone in the darkness, only the unextinguished cigarette butt in his hand still giving out flickering light.
In the hospital.
Aleigha was not fully asleep. She felt that someone was beside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw a ferocious face covered with scars.
"You're awake?"
Aleigha frowned, and her face darkened.
"Surprised, isn't it? It's normal for you to be surprised to see I'm like this."
