Aidan looked at the woman on the bed and licked his lips. Several moments later, he lowered his head and continued with his work. As time passed, Leanna was soon heard breathing stably. Aidan got to his feet and turned off the lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on.
While standing beside the bed, he gazed at Leanna for a moment before he gently lifted one side of the pillow and pulled out the drawing. When he saw a tortoise drawn on the piece of paper, he was speechless.
Annoyed, he bent his back and pinched Leanna's nose, and it wasn't until she found it hard to breathe that he released her. He whispered, "You're such a heartless woman."
Leanna rubbed her nose. Perhaps feeling a sense of discomfort, she turned over and continued sleeping. Aidan stuffed the piece of paper back under the pillow and entered the bathroom.
When Leanna woke up the next morning, the sky was still pretty dark. As she looked at the man while he got changed, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Are you going to work so early?"
Aidan replied, "I'll only be able to pick you up in the afternoon when I finish my work early."
"I told you I can—"
Aidan stuffed a tie into her hands. "Since you're awake, do something for me."
Leanna pursed her lips and moved a little. Refusing to leave the bed, she kneeled on it and wrapped the tie around the man's neck. Then, she pulled him closer to herself and muttered, "I'm only staying in the hospital for several days, but you've moved so many of your things here."
Aidan smiled and draped his arms around the woman's waist. "I'm glad you're aware of it. If I fall ill in the future, I want you to stay by my side all the time as well."
"What nonsense are you spouting? I've never seen anyone hoping they'd fall ill." When Leanna was done tying the tie for him, she sat back down on the bed. "If you're busy with work in the afternoon, I…"
After pondering for a moment, she decided to make a concession. "You can ask Jonathan to pick me up."
Aidan lowered his figure and landed a kiss between her brows. "Don't worry. I'll be coming. Just wait for me here."
"Alright."
After Aidan was gone, Leanna stretched her back and entered the bathroom to wash up. Since she had fallen asleep early the day before, she was energetic at this moment.
When she left the bathroom, she realized that the sky was a shade brighter, and she could see a beam of sunlight penetrating the clouds in the distance. It seems that the weather will be lovely today.
When Leanna made the bed and saw the drawing under the pillow, she couldn't help smiling joyfully. She wondered how Aidan would react if he saw this drawing.
Since she still had a few hours left before she could leave the hospital and was bored out of her mind, she fished out a piece of paper and pen from the drawer, rested her elbows on the table, and started sketching.
In the afternoon, she managed to complete three drawings. Okay, these sketches should be sufficient to please him.
When she got to her feet and unwound her neck tension, her phone on the bedside table started ringing. She went over and picked up the phone, only to realize it was Daniel. She knew why he was looking for her. After a pause, she picked up the call and said, "Hello?"
Daniel uttered, "Do you have some free time, Miss McKinney?"
"I'm not busy. Go ahead."
"William's flight will be taking off at 3.00PM. He's leaving Highside."
Leanna pressed her lips together for a moment. "I know."
Daniel asked, "Did Aidan tell you about it?"
"Yes."
"Well, what do you think?"
Leanna took a deep breath and looked out the window. "I don't know. We'll see." After a moment of silence, she asked, "How has Zoe been doing over the past two days?"
"She feels much better now. We went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, and the doctor said that she could move around freely. We just have to be careful and make sure she doesn't get agitated."
Leanna parted her lips but didn't say anything. This matter was between them, after all. As such, it was pointless for her to say anything and interfere. A moment later, she said, "Alright. I've been busy recently, so I'll visit her in two days."
"Sure, I'll pass on your message."
After the call ended, Leanna sat down on the edge of the bed and fell into her thoughts. Soon, a nurse came in and served her lunch. Leanna came to her senses and thanked the nurse.
After lunch, she packed everything up and stuffed them into a suitcase. She had been staying in the hospital for several days, but most of the things belonged to Aidan. She didn't have much stuff in the ward. As she said, Aidan had moved too many things to the hospital. Seriously, what's on his mind?
When Leanna was done packing up, Aidan arrived at the ward. Leanna asked, "Why are you so early?"
"It's not exactly early. It's 1.30PM now, you know."
Only then did Leanna take a look at the clock and realize it was indeed not early. She said, "I've packed everything up. Let's go."
Aidan took the suitcase from her hand. "Let's wait for a while. Jonathan is dealing with the procedures to get you discharged."
Leanna uttered, "I'll get changed, then."
"Alright."
Leanna picked up her clothes from the bed and entered the bathroom. A moment later, Jonathan came into the ward. "Everything's done, President Pearson."
Aidan grunted and took the bill from him.
"I'll be waiting for you outside."
Not long after Jonathan left, Leanna was done getting changed and stepped out of the bathroom. She folded the hospital gown and placed it on the bed. Then, she took a look at the bill in Aidan's hand and asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes, let's go."
When Leanna left the hospital, she felt that the air was much fresher outside. Sunlight engulfed the entire city, making everyone feel warm. Summer is just around the corner.
After Leanna entered the car, she rolled down the window and enjoyed the breeze. It wasn't until a moment later that she realized they were not heading home. She turned to Aidan. "Where are we going?"
"We're going to the airport."
Leanna was speechless as she rolled up the window and leaned against the seat without uttering a word.
William's flight would be taking off at 3.00PM, so it was no wonder that Aidan picked her up at 1.30PM. William would be ready to go by the time they arrived at the airport.
Aidan said, "I know you're not ready yet, so you don't have to get out of the car later. I'll see him off on my own."
After a moment of silence, Leanna asked, "Are you going to see him off on your own? Wouldn't it be awkward?"
"What do you mean?"
Leanna replied, "I mean, won't he feel awkward that you'll be the one seeing him off?"
Aidan smiled. "Well, I have to leave a good impression in front of him. He's your father, after all. No one knows what will happen in the future."
Leanna was speechless. What's wrong with him? What's the point of him leaving a good impression in front of William?
Therefore, Leanna decided to ignore him for the rest of the journey. When they arrived at the airport, William's car happened to pull up at the entrance.
Aidan took a look outside the window and retracted his gaze before saying to Leanna, "I'll be going now. Just stay right here."
Leanna pressed her lips into a line and nodded. "Alright."
Only then did Aidan open the door and leave the vehicle.
