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?”
