Love's Change of Heart

When the doctor and nurse left, they saw Aidan. Then, the doctor asked, "You must be the patient's family. She—"

Aidan retracted his gaze and answered coldly, "No."

"So, who might you be?"

"Just a passerby."

The doctor was rendered speechless. If you were just a passerby, why would you stand here for so long?

Just as the doctor was about to leave, Aidan suddenly spoke, "She has an upset stomach. Please check on her."

The doctor was stunned before asking, "Upset stomach? What are the specific symptoms?"

"Nauseous and constant feeling of wanting to puke."

He smiled gently and replied, "Those are indeed symptoms of an upset stomach, but the patient has been pregnant for four months. Nausea and vomiting are normal pregnancy reactions, so don't be too anxious."

Aidan was initially looking at Leanna, but when he heard those words, his eyes squinted into icy blades. Exuding a cold aura, he questioned, "What did you say?"

"N-Nausea and vomiting are normal pregnancy reactions, so don't... be anxious."

"The previous sentence."

The doctor asked tentatively, "The patient is four months pregnant?"

Aidan suddenly fell into a daze and the words Leanna had told him started emerging in his mind, sentence by sentence.

"Don't you always ask me what I want this time? Aidan, I'm pregnant. I have to plan for the future of the child in my womb. I want half of all the property under your name.

"Maybe it's because I've never been on the runway, so I'm a little nervous. When I'm nervous, I become nauseated and want to vomit. I'll be fine after this."

"I just found out that I... I lost my gastric pills. I'm not sure if I left it in your office..."

"It's not mine. It's Zoe's... She and her boyfriend are about to get married and are trying to conceive."

"Didn't I tell you Zoe is trying to get pregnant? I'm the child's future godmother, so it's… normal for me to buy these things."

He could not believe that he trusted her clumsy lies.

After the doctor left, Aidan closed the door of the ward and strode inside with his long legs.

He sat in front of Leanna's hospital bed with an indifferent expression while mocking her, "Leanna, you think I'm a fool, don't you? Knowing what kind of person you are, I still get fooled by you every time."

On the hospital bed, Leanna did not respond at all.

Aidan looked down and noticed that her hand was always on her abdomen. Even though she was not conscious, she was always protective of the child in her belly.

It had been four months.

She hid it so well.

...

Leanna did not know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she felt groggy and uncomfortable. After taking a few seconds to regain consciousness, she recalled falling into the water and frantically reached for her belly.

Feeling that her child was still in there, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she turned around to see where she was, she met a pair of dark and cold eyes.

Their eyes met for a few seconds and she bounced off the bed with strength that came out of nowhere. Sitting on the edge of the bed with the blanket in her arms, she stammered nervously, "Pres... Why are you here, President Pearson?"

Aidan's voice was light as he answered, "I don't know. I could just be passing by."

Suddenly, she remembered that it seemed to be Aidan, who had rescued her from the swimming pool. She could not help clenching the blanket with her fingers and inquired cautiously, "Did you send me to the hospital?"

He looked at her with deep and dark eyes without speaking.

Leanna looked away uncomfortably. Why was that b*stard looking at her like that? She could not help but shiver.

After a while, she looked out of the window and saw the pale sky. Picking a random topic, she asked, "I must have slept for a night. Sorry for the trouble. I will contact my friend to come over."

Aidan questioned, "Which friend?"

"Erm... Zoe. You've met her before."

He hummed indifferently, "Didn't you say she was preparing to get pregnant? Is she pregnant now?"

Leanna was not sure why he suddenly switched topics. Feeling a little nervous, she blurted, "I... I guess so?"

"Can she still come to the hospital to care for you if she's pregnant?"

"Huh? It's fine if she doesn't. I just choked on water, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I should be able to leave the hospital in the afternoon."

After she finished speaking, he uttered, "If I remember correctly, her boyfriend seems to have cheated on her. Is she still willing to give birth to his child? It seems that your friend is more generous than you. You should learn from her."

Leanna was confused. This b*stard must have gone crazy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Aidan retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Come in."

Soon, Jonathan's figure appeared in the ward. He took a kraft paper bag in his hand and placed it in front of Aidan. "President Pearson, it's all taken care of."

"Okay. You may leave."
