Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 524

Luckily, the food Leanna ordered was bland dishes. Once they were done eating, she took some medication and poured Aidan a cup of water before placing them before him. "Take some of this first. If your fever still doesn't subside tonight, we'll go to the hospital tomorrow."

He placed the pills in his mouth before picking up the cup and took a drink as his Adam's apple bobbed. Then, he assured her, "I'm fine. I'll feel better after resting for a few days."

She knew he did not have enough rest during the few days he was in Lachstein as he rode a helicopter back overnight. Even the healthiest person could not withstand such exhaustion.

"Have some rest. I'm going to take a shower," she said.

Grabbing her wrist, Aidan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about together?"

That left Leanna speechless. She slapped his hand away and criticized, "You're already not feeling well. Can't you behave for once?" While saying that, she grabbed her clothes and went straight into the bathroom.

Judging by his change of clothes, he must've already taken a bath after coming home. Since he's such a neat freak, how could he have lied down in bed right after taking such a long helicopter ride?

After taking a bath, Leanna felt a lot of the fatigue she had accumulated these two days had dissipated. When she came out, Aidan was taking a call on the balcony.

Seeing that, she did not disturb him and went into the bedroom. The phone call lasted for half an hour.

When she saw his return, she asked, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing. Just some unimportant, trivial things." He walked over to her and lay beside her. Then, he turned off the lights and pulled her into his embrace before whispering, "Let's sleep."

She had taken a long nap that afternoon and was no longer tired. While shutting her eyes, she felt more awake the longer she tried to sleep.

After tossing and turning a few times, Aidan asked, "Can't sleep?"

Leanna whispered, "Did I wake you up? Why don't I head outside…"

Just as she was about to get up, he wrapped his hand around her waist and stopped her. "No need for that. I can't sleep either."

Without waiting for him to continue, she urged, "Even if you can't sleep, you should close your eyes and take a rest. Clear your dirty thoughts."

He went silent for a moment before chuckling softly and whispering in her ear, "What dirty thoughts?"

However, Leanna ignored him and stayed silent, so he moved his palm under her clothes and placed it on her waist before asking in a husky voice, "Tell me—what was so dirty about my thoughts?"

Pinning Aidan's hand down, she explained, "Just… don't think about anything. You'll fall asleep once you close your eyes."

A few seconds later, his voice sounded in the dark. "Leanna."
