I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 827 I’m Here, so Go Ahead and Sleep

Leanna received two packages when she returned home.

As she opened them, she also received a voice message from Waylen.

'I've sent you a new course of treatment as well as the medicine for your friend's mother. They should have arrived by now.'

While Waylen was speaking, the little guy must have been by his side, occasionally making babbling sounds.

Leanna immediately made a video call.

She said to Waylen, "I've already received the medicine. Thank you."

After Waylen said "You're welcome," he placed the camera in front of the baby.

And the little one, at an age full of curiosity and wonder, reached out with his little hands to grab the phone when he saw Leanna's face on the screen. He mumbled, "Mama..."

He had lost a little weight since they last met, but it was a healthy kind of thinness. Even his facial features were becoming more defined.

He resembled Aidan to some extent.

But his eyes and eyebrows were like hers.

Leanna looked at him with a faint smile on her face and asked, "Baby, why are you still awake?"

The little guy immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "Not sleepy! I want duckie..."

Leanna understood what he meant; the child needed to take a bath before going to sleep.

Leanna then whispered, "And what about Granny?"

The little one probably didn't understand what she meant, as he only tilted his little head and repeated her words. "Granny..."

Waylen answered from the side, "Mrs. Woodley is doing his laundry."

After chatting with the child for over half an hour, it was time for him to take a bath.

Naomi said on the phone, "Say goodbye to Mama."

The little one, in his young voice, babbled, "Bye-bye, Mama!"

Although he still couldn't pronounce words clearly, he had improved a lot compared to before.

Leanna waved at him. "Bye-bye, baby."

After hanging up the phone, Leanna let out a long sigh.

The sound of the little one's voice seemed to linger in her mind with no sign of fading away.

She just needed to hold on a little longer before she could bring him to her side.

After adjusting her mood, Leanna put the medicine in the refrigerator and took the remaining box to the next door.

When she arrived, Zoe had just finished taking a shower and saw her carrying a box. Zoe asked, "What's this, Nana?"

"Some traditional medicine for Mrs. Hart. Please send it back to her tomorrow morning."

Somewhat surprised, Zoe quickly walked over. "It's here already? I thought it would take a while."

She took the foam box from Leanna's arms and placed it on the dining table. "I have to say, this doctor's medicine is pretty good. I feel much better after drinking it for just a few days. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

Leanna mentioned, "If you don't drink alcohol and continue to take the medicine for a while, the effect will be even better."

After hesitating for a bit, Zoe guiltily touched her nose and whispered, "Don't you need alcohol to numb yourself when you're feeling down?"

Leanna smiled. "Alright, alright. I'll have him send you more when you finish your medicine."

Zoe's face instantly lit up with a smile. "You're the best, Nana."

"Okay, I'll go back now. You should rest early. You've been busy for the past few days."

Zoe nodded. "Goodnight."

Although she had been running around these days, she wasn't too tired as she had been sleeping well at home.

But since she had to wake up early to catch a flight today, she was a little sleepy now.

"Goodnight."

After Leanna left, Zoe put the foam box in the refrigerator, scheduled the earliest delivery time for tomorrow, and turned off the lights to go to bed.

...

Leanna returned to her own place and was about to take a shower when she remembered something. As she took out her phone, she was about to call Aidan when she saw several news notifications.

All of them were about the bidding meeting this afternoon.

Each of the headlines about Aidan and Justin were more eye-catching and shocking than the previous one.

She could see exclamation marks all over the screen at just one glance.

Leanna quickly skimmed through the news and roughly understood what was going on.

She seemed to have heard Aidan mention the New Coast project before.

It was rather complicated.

Leanna knew that he would be busy today, so she didn't disturb him. Instead, she opened the refrigerator, put the chicken and vegetables in a pot to make soup, and then went to take a shower.

It was late by the time she took her medicine and got an injection after showering.

Lying in bed, she kept staring at the ceiling as she couldn't fall asleep.

There was only a small bedside lamp that radiated a warm and gentle light in the bedroom.

It seemed that as soon as she closed her eyes, the spiteful words Aidan had said to her would echo in her ears.

She couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

If even she felt this way, it must be even worse for Louis.

Leanna sighed silently and stared out the window.

She tossed and turned in bed for most of the night. When she took her phone to check the time, she found that it was already 1.30AM.

Still, she couldn't fall asleep.

She decided to sit up and massaged her throbbing head.
