She pursed her lips, responding with silence.

He pressed the incline button for the bed and put a pillow behind her back. Sounding slightly stiff, heasked her, "What do you want to eat? I can buy it for you."

"Anything will do."

"Okay. Stay here and don't move around. Press the call button for the nurse if you don't feel well."

She looked at him with pitiful eyes. "Okay."

Why is he angry?

Soon, he left to get food. A tiny sigh of relief escaped from her mouth. She tried to search for her phonearound the headboard storage but failed. Since she did not have much energy for any other activities,she sat on the bed doing nothing. Thankfully, Aidan was back in no time.

She stared at the tons of hearty food he bought and gasped. "I can't eat everything."

He replied coolly, "I know you don't always see me as human, but I need to eat too."

She did not reply, thinking that something must be wrong with Aidan. She had no idea how she hadoffended him.

She wanted to get out of bed, but he instantly ordered her to remain seated. Feeling the pressure, shequickly obeyed.

Then, he placed some hot soup and bread in front of her. She watched as he returned to his spread offood on the coffee table. Comparing their food, she lamented, "Am I only eating this?"

He was expressionless. "I thought you said anything would do."

"Yes. I'm okay with soup and bread, but I saw some other food."

He responded firmly, "Those are for me."

She took a deep breath and decided to let this slip. Nibbling on the bread and sipping the soup, shethought they were tasteless.

On the other hand, Aidan had ordered all her favorite dishes for himself.

That b*stard! He must have bought those types of food to provoke me! How can he eat those disheswhen he can't even handle spicy food?

Finally, she begged in a mosquito voice, "Aidan, can you let me have a taste of—"

"No."

"Just one bite."

"Not even half bite."

She sulked. Great. Get out, you b*stard!

Pushing aside the soup and bread, she lay on the bed and pulled a blanket over her head to stopherself from being enticed by the mouth-watering smell of his meal.

The doctor and nurse visited shortly after to give her a quick check. They concluded that she was fineand that she was only overwhelmed by the extreme stress and sudden shock earlier, so she fainted.Therefore, she was prescribed a few days' rest.

She asked, "When can I be discharged?"

"Well…"

Aidan joined the discussion. "In two weeks."

She gasped in shock. "I merely fainted! I don't have a broken leg. Why so long?"

The doctor coughed awkwardly. "Your condition isn't serious, but you can't overexert. Dealing withpeople and other life matters can affect your mood, which is why I recommend two weeks stay in thehospital. When your body has fully recovered, you can be discharged."

Not giving her a chance to argue, the doctor excused himself. "We'll leave now. If you have anything,press the call button for the nurse." Then, they hurried out of the room without giving her the time toobject.

When the door closed, Aidan said to her, "Did you hear him? Time to sleep now."

Leanna turned toward him and protested sternly, "He said it was a suggestion, which I can technicallyrefuse to follow."

His eyes twitched and his lips were pursed.

Noticing that, she knew that he would admonish her again. So, she quickly pulled the blanket overherself and shut her eyes. "Alright, I'll sleep now. Let's talk about this tomorrow."

He did not reply to that.

Indeed, she was bone-tired and exhausted, both mentally and physically. Soon after, she drifted intodreamland. After some time, she sensed a weight on the other side of the bed, and she was huggedfrom the back.

Perhaps they were used to each other's presence after living together for some time. Even in thehospital room, she did not feel odd about the proximity. She flipped around reflexively and wiggled intohis arms.

Aidan wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on the top of her head. His cold steelyeyes were shining with warmth again.

Since she did not plan to tell him about the incident at Jethro's place, he could not fathom the outcomeif he had not been there when she fainted.

The thought of that possibility angered him again. She was breathing evenly in her sleep, and he

playfully gave her a venomous bite on the lip, leaving marks behind.

She frowned in her sleep and was about to bat him away, but he had already pulled back andembraced her tighter. It would be better to keep her at the hospital for now, away from those worrisomematters…

…

It was already 11.00PM when everything was settled at the police station.

Since Jethro had originally broken out of jail by feigning death, and he was considered an inmateserving a sentence, he was sent back again to prison and would only be trialed if there was anyprogress on the case of his wife.

Still, he had been cussing at Louis up until the moment he was hauled away, warning his son that hewould never escape from the shadow of his father due to their blood ties.

Throughout the ordeal, Louis was emotionless and silent.

When they left the police station, Zoe comforted him. "Louis, he's a madman who speaks nonsense.Don't take it to heart."

He was pulled back from his thoughts and nodded. "Sure."

She was at a loss for words at his careless reply. Her attempt at comforting him was apparentlyineffective.

Thankfully, Daniel interjected and told him, "It's late. I'll send you back to campus."

Louis replied, "It's alright. The school is closed at this hour."

"How about crashing at my place?"

"No, it's fine."

Zoe questioned, "Where are you staying for tonight?"

Louis answered, "Don't worry about me. I have a place to go."

"No, that can't do. I need to make sure that you are in safe hands before I leave. If not, I can't assureLeanna." She brought up Leanna to force him to comply. "Plus, she's still in the hospital. You can'tpossibly make her worry about you."

At that, Louis merely frowned without a word.

Daniel added, "Alright now. Louis, you can stay at my place. I'm not going to be home tonight. So, youcan rest well."

Suddenly, Zoe sensed that something was off from Daniel's suggestion and stole a look at him.Coincidentally, she found him staring at her too. Why is my wretched intuition always spot on? Is heplanning to follow me home instead?

She dodged his stare and told Louis, "You can also check in at a hotel if you want."

He paused before saying, "I'll go to the hospital."

She reminded him, "Aidan must be by her side now. Aren't you afraid that he might not welcome you?"

He pursed his lips. "I won't step into her room."
