Chapter 216 How Did I Come Home Last Night? When Leanna woke up the next day, her body wasweak and she could not prop herself up at all. As she opened her eyes and struggled to sit up, it feltlike her whole world was spinning for a moment. Shaking her head vigorously, she ran to the bathroomas she held back her vomit. After a long time, she finally walked out of the bedroom while rubbing herstomach. She had an ashen look on her face that was coupled with clear discomfort.
Zoe heard the noise from outside and poked her head out of the kitchen. “Nana, you’re awake! I’mmaking you some hangover juice. It’ll be ready in a bit. Give me a minute.” Leanna pulled out a chair atthe dining table and sat down before resting her head weakly on the table. “Okay…” After a fewminutes, Zoe came out with a glass of hangover juice. “Nana, quickly drink up.” As soon as Leannapicked up the glass, a nauseous feeling surged within her again. She retched several times, butnothing came out. Moments later, she managed to drink the hangover cure albeit with difficulty. Gosh,I’ve never felt this uncomfortable in a while. This is worse than when I had morning sickness. Once shefinished her juice, she plopped herself onto the table again as if she was going back to sleep. Zoe satacross her with her hands on the table. Then, she tentatively pried, “Nana, do you remember how yougot drunk last night?” As her eyes slowly widened, Leanna tried to recall last night’s event. “Thatb*stard told me to accompany him to a card game and told me to help with his deck of cards…”“Then?” Zoe immediately asked. “Then…” Leanna trailed off. The memories from last night graduallybegan to resurface in her mind. She recalled that she met Maya in the bathroom; when she returned,everyone else had left with only Aidan left. Initially, she wanted to leave, but he pressured her to drinkby saying that she should at least show some ‘sincerity’. Leanna had no recollection of how manyglasses she had and her mind went blank after that.
When she thought of this, she suddenly raised her head and asked, “Oh. How did I come home lastnight?” Zoe let out a cough and replied accordingly to what Aidan told her to say, “I picked you up.” This
made Leanna wonder. “Did I call you?” “No, the waiter did. He said that you were drunk and passed outin the private room. Then, he told me to come and pick you up.” Leanna rested her chin on her handwith a stunned look on her face as she stared ahead blankly. After a long while, she finally said, “Oh.”Then, Zoe slammed her hand onto the table angrily to sell the story further. “That b*stard is reallysomething else! How could he leave you lying there alone in unconsciousness?! He has noconscience!” However, Leanna shook her head and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s better that way.” Itseemed like Aidan’s reputation was really down the drain now. “Nana, are you not upset that thatb*stard is treating you like this?” Zoe asked softly. Hearing this, Leanna smiled faintly. “It’s better for meto accept this than to drag things on until it gets worse.” Frankly speaking, what happened last nightwas nothing in comparison to their history. If they continued to be entangled like this, she could notguarantee what would happen in the future. Therefore, she was fairly satisfied with the outcome today.Then, she stood up from the table. “Give me a minute.
I’ll get changed and we can head to the studio.” “You can rest at home today and I’ll handle the studioalone. You probably won’t be able to work either, seeing how you are now,” Zoe offered. As soon asLeanna stood up, she felt her head spin again. This time, she did not try to put up a strong front as shenodded and said, “Okay. I’ll return to sleep, then.” “All right. There’s food in the fridge. You can heat itup when you’re awake later.” After Zoe left, Leanna slept until 4.00PM. When she sat up and rubbedher temples, she did not feel as dizzy as she was before. Once she took a hot shower, she felt a lotbetter. She stretched her neck as she walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen. After finishing hermeal, she looked at her phone before finally deciding to drop by Louis’ school. He did not explain muchabout what happened when he met Daphne over their phone conversation, which made Leanna feel alittle uneasy. Today was the last day of their final exam. Many students who were done with theirpapers left the schools in groups, dragging their suitcases behind them. Leanna approached one ofthem and learned that those from Louis’ major had finished their papers in the morning. The studentalso mentioned that he was at the cafe where he usually worked part-time. When she arrived there, thecafe owner informed her, “He went to the police station.”
“Police station?” Leanna was surprised to hear this. “Yeah. Just the day before yesterday, there was ahigh schooler that deliberately set up a trap. Fortunately, he was caught on the spot. Didn’t Louis tellyou?” This made her frown as she shook her head and asked, “Which station?” After the cafe ownertold her, she thanked him and quickly turned to leave. Although she knew that things would not be assimple and easy as Louis told her on the phone, she did not expect it to be so severe. When Leannaarrived at the hospital, Louis was just watching the surveillance clip with the police from that night. Assoon as Louis saw her, he could not help but frown. “What are you doing here?” “You didn’t tell me thatsuch a major thing happened, yet you dare to question why I’m here?” she retorted angrily. After sayingthat, she turned to the police and said, “I’m his sister and legal guardian.” Hearing this, the policemannodded. “Then, let’s watch it together.” Subsequently, Leanna fixed her eyes on the screen in front ofher. After watching the footage for a while, her brows knitted together. “Can you go back a little?” Oncethe tape was rewound, she requested again, “Can you zoom in a little?” Although the surrounding wasdim and blurry, she could recognise the girl in the surveillance footage. “Do you know this person?” thecop asked. Louis also turned over to look at her when he heard the question. Leanna pursed her lipsand answered slowly, “A few days ago, her mother kept coming by my place to cause a scene.” “Doyou know anything about their identity?”
the cop asked again. “I called the cops. There should be a record of it.” After the cop checked with herregarding the police station she went to, they told the two siblings to stay put for a moment while theycontacted the other police station for information. Once the cop left, Louis immediately asked, “Whendid this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” “You were having exams. It wasn’t a big deal,” Leannaanswered. She never expected that he would be dragged into this mess as well. She then made a wildguess that the other party must have pre-planned this. However, since the middle-aged woman nevershowed up again, she brushed it off as her overthinking the matter up until now. Judging from thissituation, it seemed like those people not only knew about her relationship with Louis, but they werealso coming at them for some reason. No. To be precise, they were coming for her.
