Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605 Did He Bully You?

When Leanna woke up, the room was shrouded in darkness as it was draped with heavy curtains.

As she tried to get up, a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

The next moment, she fell into a man's warm embrace.

Aidan's deep and hoarse voice sounded as he asked, "Are you not going to sleep for a little while?"

"I have a headache from sleeping too much," she replied.

"The doctor said you're suffering from fatigue. Rest a little more. Do you want to eat anything? I'll have Jonathan bring it over," he asked.

"I don't feel like eating," she said.

"You must still eat something no matter what. Do you want to pass out again?" he questioned.

At that, Leanna remained silent for a moment.

Not long after, she felt the person behind her move slightly. The wall lamp was turned on before it was followed by the warm glow of the light.

When Aidan got up from the bed, Leanna followed suit and asked, "What time is it now?"

Lowering his head, he looked at his watch. "1.30PM."

After hearing the time, she rubbed her head and asked again, "Have I slept for that long?"

"Not really. You should go back to sleep now. I'll wake you up when it's time for food," he answered.

After that, he left the room with long strides.

However, Leanna really couldn't fall asleep anymore. She got out of bed and realized that she was wearing a men's shirt.

At once, she was at a loss for words.

In the living room, Aidan was making a phone call to Jonathan.

Leanna walked past him as she went to the dining table and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

He turned around and unconsciously raised his eyebrows as his gaze fell on her.

When he brought her back from the hospital, there was a strong smell of disinfectant on her body. Therefore, he changed her into his clothes at first instance.

On the phone, Jonathan replied, "Mr. Pearson, I have prepared Mrs. Pearson's clothes. I can send them over now."

"No need," Aidan responded.

When Jonathan heard that, he was puzzled.

"Send the food first. We're hungry," Aidan explained slowly.

"I can send the clothes together with the…" Jonathan clarified, but halfway through his sentence, he keenly sensed the problem and immediately changed the topic, saying, "Alright, I'll prepare lunch now."

With satisfaction, Aidan put away his phone and walked over to Leanna. He reached out to gently wipe away the water droplets from her lips after she finished drinking, but his slender fingers lingered at the corner of her lips for a few seconds.

Leanna looked up at him as if he were a pervert. "What are you doing?"

Raising his eyebrows, he took the empty glass from her hand and poured water into it. "Nothing. Do you want some more?"
When Leonno woke up, the room wos shrouded in dorkness os it wos droped with heovy curtoins.

As she tried to get up, o hond wropped oround her woist ond pulled her bock.

The next moment, she fell into o mon's worm embroce.

"I don't feel like eoting," she soid.

"You must still eot something no motter whot. Do you wont to poss out ogoin?" he questioned.

At thot, Leonno remoined silent for o moment.

Not long ofter, she felt the person behind her move slightly. The woll lomp wos turned on before it wos followed by the worm glow of the light.

When Aidon got up from the bed, Leonno followed suit ond osked, "Whot time is it now?"

However, Leonno reolly couldn't foll osleep onymore. She got out of bed ond reolized thot she wos weoring o men's shirt.

At once, she wos ot o loss for words.

In the living room, Aidon wos moking o phone coll to Jonothon.

Leonno wolked post him os she went to the dining toble ond poured herself o gloss of woter to drink.

He turned oround ond unconsciously roised his eyebrows os his goze fell on her.

On the phone, Jonothon replied, "Mr. Peorson, I hove prepored Mrs. Peorson's clothes. I con send them over now."

"No need," Aidon responded.

When Jonothon heord thot, he wos puzzled.

"Send the food first. We're hungry," Aidon exploined slowly.

"I con send the clothes together with the…" Jonothon clorified, but holfwoy through his sentence, he keenly sensed the problem ond immediotely chonged the topic, soying, "Alright, I'll prepore lunch now."

With sotisfoction, Aidon put owoy his phone ond wolked over to Leonno. He reoched out to gently wipe owoy the woter droplets from her lips ofter she finished drinking, but his slender fingers lingered ot the corner of her lips for o few seconds.

Leonno looked up ot him os if he were o pervert. "Whot ore you doing?"

Roising his eyebrows, he took the empty gloss from her hond ond poured woter into it. "Nothing. Do you wont some more?"
When Leanna woke up, the room was shrouded in darkness as it was draped with heavy curtains.

"No, I'm full now," she said.

With that, Aidan put down the glass water jug and finished the remaining water.

She ignored him and went to look for her clothes.

Aidan followed behind her. "Your clothes are washed, and they aren't dry yet. I've asked Jonathan to prepare them. He will bring them over shortly."

Turning around, she then found her phone on the couch. She plugged it in and waited for it to turn on. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at him and said, "Aidan, I have something to tell you."

He sat down next to her. "Hmm?"

However, she didn't know how to begin when the words were about to come out of her mouth.

The situation was too complicated, and she still couldn't sort it out.

After a while, Leanna finally spoke up. "About the child… I left him with Lachlan. They may have a way to cure him. Lachlan told me that it wasn't him who was behind all that happened in Highside and that someone was framing him. I… I don't know whether I should believe him or not, but the little guy did show some improvement under their treatment."

As she spoke, she lowered her head. Her voice became muffled as she continued again, "I have no other choice, so I can only…"

Seeing that, Aidan hugged her and gently rubbed her head as he said in a low voice, "I already know everything. It's not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"When did you find out?" she asked.

"Last night."

After leaving Lachlan's private clubhouse, he received a call from Freddie Sutton.

He had also sent someone to investigate and found that there were similar cases in Jamesdon two years ago, and the medical team responsible for the treatment was also under Lachlan's control.

When he sent Leanna to the hospital, he received the report and data on the nutrient injections found in Sienna's room that were meant to be destroyed two years ago.

All of these indicated that someone intentionally brought him to Jamesdon and incidentally stirred up his conflict with Lachlan.

"Did he say anything else?" Aidan asked.

Leanna fell silent for a moment before continuing, "He said that all of these are related to the events from twenty years ago, but you have to investigate it yourself."

"Did he bully you?"

"No… but can you please stop touching me?"

Aidan was rendered speechless, not knowing what to reply.

After that, he slowly withdrew his hand that was placed on her thigh.

Getting out of his embrace, Leanna immediately took a pillow and covered her lap.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. It was Jonathan who had arrived.

As Aidan approached the door, he only left a small gap when he opened the door. After taking the items from Jonathan, he asked, "Where are the clothes?"

"Clothes?" Jonathan looked confused. However, he quickly reacted upon seeing Aidan's emotionless gaze. "Ah, right… The clothes. I've been occupied. They're not ready yet, but I'll get them for you now."

"Hurry up," Aidan urged. Then, he closed the door, brought the food box over, and placed it in front of Leanna. "You have to wait for a while for the clothes. Let's eat first."

At first, Leanna didn't have much appetite to eat. However, after the food box was opened, the aroma of the food wafted over. At once, she felt her stomach start to growl in hunger.

After taking the cutlery handed over by Aidan, she bent over to take the food box.

Aidan, who was sitting opposite, paused slightly as he caught a glimpse of the charming scenery beneath her shirt collar.

Seeing that he stopped there without moving, Leanna looked up in confusion. When she realized where he was looking, she quickly sat up, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him.

Aidan effortlessly caught the pillow and said innocently, "Be reasonable, okay? It's not like I intended to look anyway. And you're blaming me?"

"Pervert." She was irritated.

With a slight curve of his lips, he set the pillow aside and invited, "Let's eat."

When they had finished their lunch, it was already 2.30PM.

Looking at Aidan, Leanna asked, "What are your plans now?"

"Gain five pounds," he murmured as he met her gaze.

"Huh?" she replied with confusion.

"You've lost some weight recently, so let's feed you until you gain five pounds first," he explained further.

At that, Leanna was completely speechless. What's wrong with him?

He continued again, "Seven or eight pounds are fine too. You have to eat more."

After hearing that, she couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"

A smile appeared in Aidan's eyes. "The Woodleys' semi-annual family gathering will be held in a few days. You're coming with me."

When she heard that, she frowned and asked, "It's their family gathering. Can we be there?"

"We won't know until we give it a shot," he replied calmly. "Since we are going to investigate what happened twenty years ago, we must get into the Woodley Family. Otherwise, how can we find out?"

"Are you not going back to Highside?" she asked again.

"Why would I go back when all of you are here?" he retorted.

Since those people went through so much trouble to lure me here... Let's find out the truth.
