Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477

Zoe accompanied Leanna in the ward until Aidan arrived, and she left swiftly right after. Meanwhile, Leanna sat by the bed, staring at him spiritless. "I want to be discharged."

As Aidan loosened his tie with one hand, he sat on the couch nonchalantly. "Didn't I say half a month?"

When she heard that, she parted her lips and wanted to say something, but she felt like it would just be an ineffective protest. Suddenly, she recalled what Zoe had said in the afternoon. So, she licked her lips and lay on the bed. "Okay then. I can do half a month. Zayn is coming back just in time, so I can meet him and talk to him a little."

At this moment, he was quite shocked, as he only knew about Douglas being hospitalized this afternoon. The Barnetts had kept this a strict secret, so they didn't tell anyone about it. They probably wanted to wait until Zayn returned and rearranged everything in the company.

"Who told you that?" he asked.

"I met Carly downstairs. She told me."

"They're in this hospital?"

"Yeah. Such a coincidence."

Hearing that, Aidan scoffed and stood up sharply.

"Where are you going?" Leanna looked at him.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to be discharged? I'm going to do the paperwork." He strode out of the room after saying that. Meanwhile, she looked at his figure from the back with a smile on her lips. Well, that was quite effective.

On the way back, she asked, "My phone is with you, right?"

"Is it?" he questioned with a poker face.

At this moment, she was speechless. This b*stard is so childish. "Give me back my phone. I have many things to deal with." She didn't feel like dealing with him.

"Like what?"

"There are just many things. I haven't seen my phone since yesterday. What if someone is looking for me?"

"No one is looking for you," he replied calmly.

After a pause, she asked, "You looked through my phone?"

"Is there anything that I can't see?"

"No, but provided that we trust each other, shouldn't you tell me before you look through it?"

"Since when did you trust me?" He was still not showing any emotions.

At this moment, she couldn't help but pout. This b*stard is such a quibble. I've never seen someone pettier than him.

Before she could say anything, he announced, "I can give you back your phone."

Leanna was shocked for a second.

"But you can't go to the studio for these few days. You need to rest at home." Then, Aidan added, "Or you can come to my office with me."

When she heard his last sentence, she replied without thinking twice, "I'll stay at home!"

A mere smile tugged on his lips as soon as he heard her answer. Only then did she realize that she had stepped into his trap. "If you feel bored alone, I can work from home to keep you company." Finally, he showed his true color.

Hearing that, she didn't know what the best reply was she could give. "No, thank you." Like really! Please don't.

"I'll have Alice come over and cook for you for these few days. You can go anywhere you want, but there needs to be someone beside you. Choose between me and her."

"I'm not a kid. Why do I need someone to follow me around?"

Aidan asked, "Where should I look for you if you faint again?"

Hearing that, Leanna pressed her lips together. "That was just an accident, I…"

"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? You're under too much pressure these days, and you're emotionally unstable. You need to rest well, or else there will be a possibility of fainting again if you're triggered again."

"I don't think I heard the last sentence."

"We need to prepare ourselves for the long run."

When Leanna heard that, she turned to look outside the window and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He thinks that he's always right anyway.

She took a shower after they returned to the condo. Then, she entered the guest bedroom and locked the door.

As expected, a knock came on the door after a while, but she covered the blanket over her head and pretended to have fallen asleep. Soon after, Aidan went up to her. "You don't want your phone anymore?"

Hearing that, she pulled down the blanket a little and looked like she was contemplating.

Within a minute, Aidan's voice could be heard again. "Your brother sent you a message."

"What did he say?" She sat up in bed.

"I didn't look."

Leanna slowly put on her slippers and walked to the door. After she opened it, she reached out her hand to him. Under her stare, his body trembled slightly as he raised his arm and held her hand with his big palm.

At this moment, she was speechless. She just looked at him without any expression. "I want my phone."

"Oh, I misunderstood." He raised his brows.

Just as she wanted to say something, he tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her out of the guest room with his other arm hugging her around her waist. "Why are you sleeping here?"

"Didn't the doctor say that I'm under too much pressure and I'm emotionally unstable?"

"So?"

"I think I should be alone in such a situation so that I won't affect you."

"Who said that you'll affect me?"

She replied to him with his very own sentence. "We need to prepare ourselves for the long run."

When he heard that, his brows twitched.

Meanwhile, she freed her hands to look through her phone. Several people had messaged her over the last two days, but she had yet to see any from Louis after going through everything. Also, all of the messages were still unread, and there were notifications about yesterday's news.

It seemed like Aidan about looking through her phone.

"Didn't you say that Louis messaged me?" she asked.

"Did he not? I was wrong then," he replied.

Leanna knew that would be his answer. This b*stard always has so many excuses.

After she came out of his embrace, she turned around and walked into the guest room. "I'm going to sleep…"

Yet, before she could finish her sentence, he pulled her back again and carried her in his arms. Then, he walked into the master bedroom and put her on the bed. "Don't throw tantrums anymore, okay? Be good."

"I'm not throwing tantrums. I just want to be alone and think about something," she answered seriously.

"Think about what?"

She moved a little and turned her head to the side to avoid eye contact with him. "Nothing."

Nevertheless, he pinched her chin and turned her head back to the front. "You have so much advice for other people, but why don't you have any for yourself?"

"It's not because of Jethro. I just…"

"You what?" he asked in his deep voice while looking at her with his black eyes.

Leanna pressed her lips together and remained silent. Yet, Aidan was not rushing her either, as he waited for her in silence. After a while, only then did she say, "I'm afraid that he will hurt Louis."

"Who?"

She looked down and stopped talking again. Seeing the lady keep quiet, he pushed his teeth with the tip of his tongue and asked softly, "You already knew?"

She hummed softly. "I should've guessed it. There's no such thing as kindness or hatred with no reason."

It was not a coincidence at all that time at the cemetery. William went there to save her blushes. He had probably known it for quite some time.

At this moment, Aidan stroked her hair. "So, what are you going to do now? Do you want to ask him about it?"
