Chapter 178

A frown appeared on Elijah’s face when he heard Leanna’s words. “Should we go to the hospital?” he asked.

“No, no. It is just an old sickness. I will be fine after a short rest.”

“Are you sure you are alright?” He still couldn’t help being concerned even after she said that.

“Yes, I really am,” she replied with a big nod.

“Alright, then.” Elijah pursed his lips. “You have to tell me if you still feel unwell, though. We will make a trip to the hospital.”

“Okay.”

He didn’t seem to have noticed anything odd due to the dim lighting at the audience’s seats.

Leanna only turned to look at Aidan with blazing eyes after Elijah looked away from her. She then mouthed, “Let go!”

Aidan only pretended to not hear her as he looked at the stage.

Seeing this, she took a deep breath, raised her leg and, with all her might, stomped on his foot.

He finally had a taste of her wrath when her high-heeled shoe stepped on him.

Sure enough, she heard a low groan from the man beside her.

Even so, he continued to hold her hand without letting go.

Leanna suddenly felt enraged to see him being so shameless for the first time.

Just as she was about to bring her foot up a second time, Aidan quickly released her hand from his grip.

Serves you right! she thought while scoffing.

She was no longer in the mood to watch the performance anymore after this absurd incident. She took the chance when Daniel had gotten off the stage for an outfit change to turn her head and whisper, “I’m sorry, Elijah. I have to leave now.”

Leanna swiftly stood up after saying that.

Seeing this, Elijah quickly stood up and went after her while offering, “Let me give you a ride.”

However, as he was passing by her seat, he unexpectedly noticed Aidan sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Zoe. Aidan looked indifferent, and he had no expression whatsoever on his face.

Out of courtesy, Elijah gave him a greeting.

Aidan’s tongue darted out to lick his thin lower lip as he watched them leave one after another. He then lowered his gaze to look at his palm that still had Leanna’s lingering warmth before he also got up.

Zoe was still sitting in her seat when her eyes flickered between the exit and the stage, and she finally had no choice but to stomp outside to follow after them

“Are you still not feeling well, Leanna?” Elijah called out to Leanna to stop her when they were in the corridor.

Her steps came to a stop before she turned around and shook her head. “No. It’s just that something came up.”

“Where are you heading to? I will drop you off.”

“It is fine. There’s no need to trouble yourself. I can go there myself. You should go back into the hall.”
