Chapter 532










































Leanna was sleeping soundly when her phone rang.

With her eyes closed, she tried to rummage around for it, but Aidan held her hand and tucked it back into the blanket. Groggily, he said, "Ignore it. Just sleep."

"Stop that. What if it's an emergency?" She got out of his embrace and picked her phone up. Zoe? She turned around to look at the sleeping Aidan, then she left the room to take the call. "What is it, Zoe?" whispered Leanna.

With a trembling voice, Zoe said, "I-I'm bleeding, Leanna. Maybe the results were wrong. Maybe my period is just late."

Leanna woke up completely and quickly said, "That might be a sign of a miscarriage. Hold on. I'll be right there."

"O-Okay, I'll be waiting."

"Calm down. It'll be fine." Leanna hung up and returned to her room. There wasn't even time to change. All she did was wear a bra and grab her coat, then she was ready to go.


Just as she turned around, Aidan asked, "Where are you going dressed like that? It's midnight."

"It's Zoe. She's in trouble, and I'm taking her to the hospital. You go back to sleep."

Aidan got up before she could even finish. "Get changed. I'm taking you there."

"But…"

"Get changed. Don't waste any more time talking."

He has a point. She stopped talking and grabbed some clothes from the closet room.

Just when she was about to change, Aidan said, "I'll start the car. Come down when you're done."

"Okay." After Leanna got changed, she hurried downstairs. When she came to the neighborhood's entrance, Aidan's car was already waiting for her. There weren't a lot of cars on the road at this hour. Twenty minutes later, they were already at Zoe's place. Leanna unbuckled her seatbelt while saying, "I'm picking her up. Wait here."

"Yeah," said Aidan languidly.

Leanna went into her friend's house only to be greeted by a pale and worried Zoe. Concerned, Leanna asked, "Can you walk, Zoe?"

Zoe nodded. "Yeah."

Leanna held her up. "Let's go. Aidan's waiting for us."

Zoe didn't move.

Leanna asked, "What's the matter?"

"Um, this probably isn't that serious. Just feels like a regular period. I just used some pads."

Leanna snapped, "What are you thinking?"

Zoe smiled weakly. "I just don't want to trouble him. It's midnight. And he scares me."

"Let's go."

While they were on the way to the hospital, Zoe rested her head on Leanna's shoulder, looking listless. She was tired both physically and mentally.

Leanna took her to the emergency department right after they reached the hospital. Once she was sent into the consultation room, Leanna finally heaved a sigh of relief, but her frown remained.

Aidan patted her head. "Don't worry. She'll be fine."

Leanna nodded and held his hand. "I'll stay. You go home and catch some sleep. There's work to be done tomorrow."

It was a busy period for Aidan, so sleep was a luxury for him. At this rate, he wouldn't be sleeping much.

Just then, someone ran down the corridor. It was Daniel. He approached the couple, huffing and puffing. "How's she looking?"

Leanna was surprised that he showed up, and she looked at Aidan. "I called him," answered Aidan.

Leanna turned her attention to Daniel. "She's getting checked. This might take a while."

"Thanks for helping her," said Daniel.

Leanna asked, "Why? She's my friend. I should be helping her."

Daniel opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Aidan held Leanna's hand and sat down. Time went by, but Daniel kept pacing back and forth, his brows folded into a frown.

A few minutes later, Aidan said, "Too late for worries. You should have cared about her sooner."

I don't want to hear that from you!

The consultation room's door creaked open at this moment, and the doctor said, "Is the patient's family here?"

Leanna was about to stand up, but Daniel was faster. "Yes. How is she looking?"

"Threatened miscarriage, but it's not too serious. I've prescribed some pills for her. Make sure she takes them on time, and don't let her move around too much. She needs to rest. Always be careful during early pregnancy. You're her husband. Don't slack off."
