I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 542

Aidan entered the ward after the police left and saw Leanna sitting there, looking dejected. He went over and

asked, "Are you still dizzy?"

Leanna looked longingly at him and replied, "I'm hungry."

Aidan was speechless for a moment before saying, "I'll ask the doctor what you're allowed to eat."

Leanna nodded, but just as Aidan was about to leave, she took his hand. "By the way, are you done with work? I'm

fine now. If you're busy…"

Aidan lifted his hand to flick her forehead, but seeing as her head was bandaged, he didn't have the heart to do so.

As such, he flicked her nose instead and questioned, "What on earth is on your mind?"

Leanna stroked her nose but didn't argue with him. She explained, "In the past, I didn't think it was hard to manage

a company, but it wasn't until I started working at the Crossley Group that I realized it takes a lot of time and effort

to run a business, not to mention that the Pearson Group is a significantly larger company. If you still have some

work to do, you don't have to keep me company."

"Stop worrying so much and get some sleep."

"I can't sleep. I'm hungry."

Aidan said, "I'll look for the doctor now. Stay still."

Leanna replied, "Okay."

After Aidan was gone, Leanna leaned against the headboard and found her phone on the bedside table. Around 30

minutes ago, Zoe sent her a message to ask if she had reached home. Leanna replied that she was home, but

since she felt dizzy again, she put down her phone and closed her eyes.

Soon, Aidan returned to the ward with a takeout bag. Catching a whiff of the food's aroma, Leanna felt more

energetic at once. Aidan put down the bag and moved the overbed table closer to her. Just as Leanna was about to

reach for the cutlery, the man said, "Stay put."

As such, she leaned against the headboard once more. Aidan took a seat beside the bed and fished out a spoon.

Then, he scooped up a spoonful of rice, cooled it down, then held it out for her. Leanna's lips curved into a smile

when she saw that. Aidan arched his brow. "Are you a fool or something?"

Leanna didn't quite understand his words. "Huh?"

"You're smiling like a fool on the bed."

Leanna explained, "It's my first time seeing you take care of anyone. It just feels…"

"Go on."

"It just feels strange."

Aidan was speechless at that.

Just then, Leanna started beaming as though she hadn't been so pleased for a long time. After she finished the bowl

of beef rice, she felt much better. Then, she called out, "Aidan."

The man responded huskily, "Yeah?"

"When will I be discharged from the hospital?"

Aidan asked, "Do you no longer feel dizzy?"

Leanna felt silent for a moment, for she was still somewhat light-headed. Then, Aidan moved the overbed table

away. "Don't think about getting discharged for now. Just stay here for a couple of days without worrying about

anything else."

"But…"

Aidan glanced at her with a slightly stern gaze, and Leanna immediately kept her mouth shut. Only then did Aidan

go on to say, "Freddie will take care of the Crossley Group while a few of our men will keep an eye on Jimmy.

There's nothing you have to worry about."

Just as Leanna wanted to say something, Aidan interrupted her by uttering, "I've asked Jonathan to look into the

corruption cases involving Jimmy over the years. When he gets the evidence, he'll pass it to your people."

Hearing that, Leanna knew there was nothing else she had to worry about. Just then, Aidan's phone started ringing.

He took a look and said, "I need to answer this call. Get some rest first."

"Alright."

After Aidan left, Leanna started yawning. She felt sleepy because she was stuffed. Then, she placed the pillow on

the bed and lay down before closing her eyes. When Aidan returned, Leanna was already sound asleep. He took off

his coat and lay down beside her. After pulling her into his embrace, he landed a kiss on her bandaged forehead.

…

After staying in the hospital for two days, Leanna felt that she had mostly recovered. She reckoned that she could

leave the hospital the next day. Just as she was spacing out, she heard someone knocking on the door outside the

ward. She looked up and saw Daphne entering the ward with a bunch of flowers. After closing the door, Daphne

took off her face mask and asked, "I hope I didn't disturb you."

Leanna was startled for a moment before asking, "Why are you here?"

She had never told anyone that she was involved in a car accident, including Zoe and Louis, for she was worried

they would get too anxious.

Daphne put the flowers down on the windowsill. "President Pearson told me to come over and talk to you. He was

worried you'd feel lonely."

Leanna let out a dry laugh, thinking that the man could be quite over-the-top sometimes. She then said, "Ignore

him. If you're busy with work, you can leave anytime. I suppose I'll be able to leave the hospital tomorrow."

Daphne sat down on the chair beside the bed. "I just concluded my roadshow, so I don't have any work for the time

being. If President Pearson never told me about it, I wouldn't have known you were involved in a car accident.

Didn't you tell Zoe and… Louis?"

Leanna shook her head. "It's no big deal. It was just an accident, and I'll only make them worried if I tell them about

it."

At the mention of Zoe, Daphne asked curiously, "How is it going between Daniel and Zoe?"

"Daniel has been taking care of her at her home for the past few days. I think there's something romantic going on

between them."

"I share the same sentiment. Zoe is beautiful, so I'm sure Daniel is attracted to her. Moreover, they've already

made love, so there's no way they don't have feelings for each other. It'll be embarrassing if they don't end up

together."

Leanna found the other woman sensible. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you contacted Louis

recently?"

Daphne was peeling an orange. "No, we stopped contacting each other after I went on my roadshow."

"Perhaps he's just busy with university."

Daphne nodded and passed her the peeled orange. Leanna took it, and after giving it some thought, she asked,

"How's his venture into showbiz?"

Daphne replied, "Didn't he tell you about it?"

"No, we haven't met each other for quite a while, and I know nothing about showbiz."

Daphne said, "I heard that his company is going to produce a talent show, and he'll be the main star. Don't worry.

Given how handsome your brother looks, he'll attract millions of young girls even if he just stands there and does

nothing."

She said, "By the way, I talked to him before, and he told me that he's in love with someone. Do you know who that

might be?"

Hearing that, Leanna choked on the orange and started coughing. Daphne promptly patted her back and asked

doubtfully, "You have no idea, do you?"

"No… I just stuffed too many orange slices into my mouth earlier. Did he really tell you that?"

"Yeah, but he didn't tell me who she was, and he ignored me when I kept asking."

Leanna pursed her lips for a moment before replying, "Perhaps he thinks that the person he's fond of doesn't love

him back, so he felt too embarrassed to tell you about it."

Daphne waved her hand. "That's impossible. You're underestimating your brother's charm. I can assure you that

young women these days love men like him."
