Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 318
Aidan got up and coldly ordered, "Find out what frightened it."
Nodding repeatedly, the manager replied, "I'll go right away. President Pearson… Do you need medical attention?"
"No."
"Yes."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Turning around, Aidan looked at Leanna. "There's no need to see a doctor."
However, Leanna insisted. When they fell to the ground earlier, she could clearly hear the sound of heavy impact from him while she was in his embrace.
Although he did not tell her the truth, there was no way he would be completely fine after that fall.
Meanwhile, the manager averted his gaze between Aidan and Leanna before turning to Oscar for help.
Oscar gave him the reins. "Go ahead and do what you're ordered to do. I'll accompany President Pearson to the doctors."
"Thank you, Mr. Woodley. I'll inform you immediately after I find out the truth."
Nodding, Oscar agreed, "Go ahead."
After the person-in-charge left with the horse, Oscar patted the dust on his hand. "Come on, President Pearson. You need to have a checkup to see if you're injured anywhere so that someone won't have to worry about you."
Aidan looked at him indifferently. "Why are you sticking your nose into my business?"
Oscar had no words to refute.
Pulling Leanna's hand, Aidan led her in the opposite direction.
Since Oscar was free, he trailed behind the manager of the horse ranch to check on the horse.
As the clubhouse was very large with many facilities and activities, there was also a small private hospital inside. To make things easier for those wealthy second generations, who only knew to play around, they could easily seek medical attention when they got injured.
On their way there, Aidan reassured Leanna, "I'm fine, really. There's no need to go over there. It'll just waste our time.
"No. It's just a checkup. How much time can that take?" Leanna frowned. "If this is wasting time, then what about earlier?"
Hearing that, Aidan merely smiled without a word and held her hand while walking forward.
She asked the doctor to give him a detailed checkup when they arrived at the hospital. The results showed that he was fine, besides the bruises that were inflicted on him from hitting the ground.
Aidan looked at her and raised his brows. "Are you reassured now?"
However, Leanna ignored him and asked the doctor, "He fell quite seriously just now. Why don't you run another test?"
Laughing, the doctor assured her, "Mrs. Pearson, don't worry. I can promise that there is nothing wrong with President Pearson. How about this—I'll get you some ointment for the bruise, and you can apply it whenever you see fit?"
Leanna wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Aidan. "Alright, Mrs. Pearson. If you're so worried about me, why don't you check it yourself?"
Those words caught her tongue and her face was quickly turning crimson.
What is this b*stard talking about?
Faced with the faint smile on the doctor's face, she felt so embarrassed that she stammered, "I-It's fine. Forget it. I need to use the bathroom."
While she was speaking, she escaped the room.
After staying inside the bathroom for ten minutes, her burning face finally calmed down.
Heaving out a breath, she pulled out some tissues and wiped her wet hands before exiting the bathroom.
When she got to the doctor's office, she ran into Georgina, who also saw her.
Ever since they found out about the truth, Georgina stopped acting nice to her. She withdrew her cold gaze and entered the doctor's office whereas Leanna threw the tissue inside the trash can and went downstairs.
Inside the office, Georgina saw the man, who was wearing his suit and was stunned. "Aidan, what are you doing here?"
With a glance, Aidan stated, "Don't ask me questions about something you already know. I won't buy it."
She burst out laughing. "What do I know? I accidentally hurt myself during rock climbing, so I came here to let the doctor have a look. Why do you think I have another reason to be here?"
"What do you expect me to say, then? What a coincidence? Are you hurt too? Why are you here to have a checkup?"
That rain of questions rendered her speechless.
Then, the doctor coughed. "Miss Crossley, let me check your wound."
Before Georgina could respond, Aidan had left the office.
She turned around to look at his back and could not help biting her lips.
…
When Aidan walked out of the hospital, he saw Leanna sitting on a bench while drinking a cold drink, comfortably bathing in the sun.
Walking over, he sat down beside her. "Where did you buy this?"
Leanna replied, "Just now, a young and handsome man passed by. He saw that I was pretty, so he gave this to me for free."
Aidan was speechless. Then, he reached out to grab her drink, lowered his head, and finished more than half in one go.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"I'm thirsty."
Pouting, she argued, "Didn't you say you were going to buy drinks earlier?"
"I threw it somewhere." He looked at her. "Why are you sitting here?"
She retorted, "Wouldn't I be interrupting you and your ex-fiance if I went in?"
After licking his lips, he asked, "Are you still jealous?"
Leanna sneered, "Who's jealous? I'm just being considerate."
Happiness gradually filled his eyes as he caressed her hair. "Alright. So, the considerate Mrs. Pearson, are you still planning to sit here?"
"Don't touch my head. You're messing up my hair."
She pushed his hand away, fished out the small mirror she always had with her, and began to tidy her hair.
She had even gotten up early today to learn how to style her hair from the Internet.
That b*stard almost ruined my hard work.
Aidan said, "You don't have to look into the mirror. You're already beautiful. Otherwise, why would someone give you a drink instead of me?"
Putting down the mirror, Leanna grunted lightly. "Being likable is something you won't be able to experience in your whole life."
After a few minutes of walking, they saw a gray-haired old man selling cold drinks in front of a very cute car.
Raising his eyebrow, he asked. "Is that the young and handsome man you mentioned?"
Leanna was at a loss for words.
Shut up, you b*stard!
At first, she wanted to buy a drink, but the old man said his stall was owned by the clubhouse, so the drinks were free for everyone.
Then, Aidan walked over and made his order. "Two cups. Thank you."
The old man bowed in acknowledgment and grabbed the cold drink.
Nodding, Aidan bowed and received them. Meanwhile, Leanna watched this scene while a smile appeared on her face.
Everyone thought he was an arrogant man who was full of himself and unbridled. However, he was actually someone who always respected those who should be respected.
Those who said that about Aidan mostly faked benevolence and had no morality. They would only use despicable means in the dark to get what they wanted.
The Pearsons had never expected that the illegitimate child they raised for their own benefits would actually develop his own thoughts, outside of their decades-long brainwash.
When he became uncontrollable, the Pearsons began to fear and hate him.
