Chapter 761 Am I That Lame?

After breakfast, Leanna seized the moment while Aidan went to change to take out a packet of medicinal herbs from the refrigerator to place it in her bag.

Withstanding waves of discomfort and a touch of queasiness, she summoned her strength and administered a shot to her arm.

When Aidan came out, his brows twitched slightly as he watched Leanna changing her shoes in the hallway.

Meeting his gaze, she asked, "What's wrong?"

He remarked, "Why does your complexion look worse than before?"

In response, Leanna instinctively caressed her face. "Does it?" As soon as she said that, her skeptical gaze fell upon Aidan as she playfully added, "Or perhaps you're waiting to drop another one of your cheesy pickup lines?"

Aidan licked his teeth while flicking her forehead with a finger. "Am I that lame?"

"You're always lame," Leanna replied as she put on her shoes. "I'm done. Let's go."

Just as she reached the doorway, he grabbed her hand. "If you're feeling unwell, don't force yourself. I'll take you to the hospital."

Leanna hesitated momentarily before she asserted, "Really, I'm fine. Maybe it's just the bright light in the hallway making my face look pale. I'm good, so don't worry."

With that, she glanced at the time and pulled Aidan along. "We're going to be late. Stop dawdling."

On the other hand, Zoe, who was obliged to attend to the early morning rituals of verifying the shooting location and orchestrating the set design, departed home at an earlier hour. For that reason, Leanna took a ride in Aidan's car and arrived at the studio together.

Before disembarking from the car, Aidan observed the undeniable improvement in her complexion since they left home and thus refrained from further inquiry. Instead, he imparted, "If you ever feel tired, just go home. All my money belongs to you, so there's no need to work so hard."
