Love's Change of Heart

Leanna responded with a soft ‘Okay’. As she was about to hang up the phone, she felt her other hand being held by someone, gently squeezing her palm. When she lowered her head, she saw Aidan sitting on a bench in the corridor and holding her hand. He appeared deep in thought.

Seeing that, she put away her phone and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re not wearing the ring again.” His tone was somewhat displeased.

At his words, her voice involuntarily weakened. “I’m just afraid I might lose it.”

“I’ll buy you another one if that happens. If you lose it a hundred times, I’ll buy you a hundred more.”

“That’s an engagement ring; it has a special meaning.”

“Then I’ll buy another one and propose to you again,” he said.

At this moment, she was at a loss for words. That would be going too far.

As he exerted a slight force on her hand, he pulled her down to sit beside him. He then said, “It’s because you never wear the ring that some people think they still have a chance and are not willing to give up yet.”

Leanna knew he was referring to Elijah, so she replied with a smile, “Okay. I’ll start wearing it tomorrow.”

Aidan’s eyebrow arched slightly. “Why are you suddenly listening to me?”

“I won’t wear it then.”

A smile tugged on his lips as he interlocked fingers with hers. “I’ll put it on for you when we get back.”

“How did you know I was here?” She leaned against his shoulder.

“There’s nothing I don’t know.”

She couldn’t be bothered to respond to him, just sighing softly. “Actually, I think Daniel probably likes Zoe a lot. Otherwise, the first thing he did after waking up in the hospital wouldn’t be to go find her. If… he hadn’t been taken away by Leroy, the tragedies wouldn’t have happened. He and Zoe would still…”

Calmly, he cut her off, saying, “Have you ever considered that if he hadn’t been taken away by Leroy, he might still be uncertain about what he truly wants?”
