Chapter 506

Before Leanna left for work, she told Aidan that he did not need to follow her since she would call him when everything was wrapped up at work and if nothing happened.

Aidan walked her to the elevator, kissing her on the cheek when she let her guard down. "Do be careful on your way there. Send a message when you arrive."

"Yes, yes. You can go back now."

Closing the door of the elevator, Leanna also waved to him.

After she left, Aidan turned around and knocked on his neighbor's door.

A short while passed before the door was opened.

Naomi asked, "Did Leanna leave?"

He nodded. "She went to work."

Walking to the crib, he saw the baby inside playing with a toy while making gurgling sounds.

Aidan looked at him for a while and suddenly asked, "Did he grow fatter?"

This little rascal has only been born for a while, yet he's much bigger now. I think his face has doubled in size.

Tidying up the room, she said, "Babies grow the fastest. It's just that this particular one was born premature and has been sick for this period, so his growth was a bit slower. Now that he's cured, it's normal to be fatter. Look at how soft and fair he is. His eyebrows look like Leanna's."

Frowning, he commented, "He's much uglier than she is."

This made Naomi retort, "Who talks about their own son like that? Although babies can't understand you, they are quite petty and vengeful."

"I don't think he'll be as petty as Leanna."

Ignoring him, Naomi left the room.

Standing by the crib, he reached out and poked the baby's face.

Grunting, the little tyke seemed to be unhappy, as he waved his little hands around, wanting to chase Aidan away.

Indeed, he's quite petty.

A snort came from Aidan. "Hmph."

After a while, Naomi walked up to him. "The baby's condition is stabilized now. Are you still not planning on telling Leanna?"

Aidan responded, "It's not that I don't want to."

Rather, he had been deceiving Leanna for so long that he did not know how to break it to her. He was also well aware if she came to know the truth, she would be beyond livid.

If worse came to worst, she might not forgive him for the rest of her life.




After arriving at the office, Leanna saw that her employees were elated to see her come back, as they bombarded her with questions.

Chatting for a while, Leanna took a look around and asked, "Where's Zoe?"

"Zoe said that she was feeling unwell this morning, so she's resting in your office right now."

"I'll go take a look."


"I'll go take a look."

Leanna opened the office door only to see Zoe curled up on the couch with a pale face, looking like she was in great discomfort.

Walking over, Leanna asked, "What's wrong, Zoe?"

Zoe replied weakly, "I'm not sure either. I have been wanting to puke since a few days ago. I don't have any appetite either, as the mere smell of fried foods would make me want to throw up."

At this, Leanna froze for a second.

Sitting down beside Zoe, she touched her forehead before touching her own. "You don't have a fever."

Zoe nodded slowly. "I think I might have caught the flu. I took medicine last night. I'll have some again later."

After a brief silence, Leanna asked, "When was your last menstrual period?"

Zoe thought about it, but she could not remember. "I think it was last month. The flu might have pushed back my period for this month."

Tugging on her, Leanna stated, "Let's go to the hospital and have a diagnosis."

"There's no need for that. I normally become like this when I catch the flu. I'll be better in a few days."

"It might not be the flu." Although Leanna was just guessing this and could not be sure either. "Let the doctor have a look. If you do have the flu, then you recover faster on the doctor's medication."

By this point, Zoe had had it with the nonstop suffering, and she had not been eating for two days, so she followed Leanna.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Leanna had Zoe sit down and wait for her while she went to get Zoe registered.

After the registration, Leanna came back to help Zoe up. "Let's go."

Yet, Zoe realized the entrance to the doctor's office read 'gynecologist', making her wide-eyed. "Did you bring me to the wrong room?"

Leanna replied, "Just in case. Just go in and check."

Laughing dryly, Zoe said, "Isn't this going too far for a joke? I haven't even had sex…."

She stopped in the middle of the sentence. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! When I did it with Daniel last time, we didn't take any safety precautions, but I did take the birth control pill after. I don't think I'm that 'lucky', right?

Leanna consoled her. "No matter what, I think you should check it out. If the result is negative, then it'll be a relief. If it is…"

After a pause, she breathed in and said, "We'll see."

Zoe walked in, feeling as if she was not in control of her body, for she had no idea what the doctor asked her, even though she answered all of them.

"I'll go taka a look."

Laanna opanad tha offica door only to saa Zoa curlad up on tha couch with a pala faca, looking lika sha was in graat discomfort.

Walking ovar, Laanna askad, "What's wrong, Zoa?"
