Chapter 33

How Much Did He Borrow? Leanna froze. He knows everything… Peering at her, Aidan lowered his cold and solemn, “In order to marry me, you used every trick possible in the book; when it comes to our divorce, you did the very same. Leanna McKinney, do you feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I fall for your trap… over and over?” “I’m sorry. I never thought of it like that. I just…”

The next morning, she opened her eyes to the sight of Louis reading by the window. “Louis, why are you here?” Leanna asked him. Turning his

 

shift today. I’ll leave when Miss Hart comes.” Massaging her temples, Leanna knew just how stubborn her brother could be, so she did not persuade him any longer. He then helped her to the toilet to wash up, “I’ll be waiting for you outside. Let me know when you’re done.” “Okay.” After she opened the packaged toothbrush and toothpaste Zoe bought for her yesterday, she looked in the mirror only to notice the corner of her lips to be torn and scabbed. She finally understood why it hurt when she was

After the checkup, the nurse reminded her to rest properly for a few days and not leave the bed unless she needed to go to the toilet. As the nurse was administering IV for Leanna, Louis took a look at
