Chapter 605 Did He Bully You?

When Leanna woke up, the room was shrouded in darkness as it was draped with heavy curtains.

As she tried to get up, a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

The next moment, she fell into a man's warm embrace.

Aidan's deep and hoarse voice sounded as he asked, "Are you not going to sleep for a little while?"

"I have a headache from sleeping too much," she replied.

"The doctor said you're suffering from fatigue. Rest a little more. Do you want to eat anything? I'll haveJonathan bring it over," he asked.

"I don't feel like eating," she said.

"You must still eat something no matter what. Do you want to pass out again?" he questioned.

At that, Leanna remained silent for a moment.

Not long after, she felt the person behind her move slightly. The wall lamp was turned on before it wasfollowed by the warm glow of the light.

When Aidan got up from the bed, Leanna followed suit and asked, "What time is it now?"

Lowering his head, he looked at his watch. "1.30PM."

After hearing the time, she rubbed her head and asked again, "Have I slept for that long?"

"Not really. You should go back to sleep now. I'll wake you up when it's time for food," he answered.

After that, he left the room with long strides.

However, Leanna really couldn't fall asleep anymore. She got out of bed and realized that she waswearing a men's shirt.

At once, she was at a loss for words.

In the living room, Aidan was making a phone call to Jonathan.

Leanna walked past him as she went to the dining table and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

He turned around and unconsciously raised his eyebrows as his gaze fell on her.

When he brought her back from the hospital, there was a strong smell of disinfectant on her body.Therefore, he changed her into his clothes at first instance.

On the phone, Jonathan replied, "Mr. Pearson, I have prepared Mrs. Pearson's clothes. I can sendthem over now."

"No need," Aidan responded.

When Jonathan heard that, he was puzzled.

"Send the food first. We're hungry," Aidan explained slowly.

"I can send the clothes together with the…" Jonathan clarified, but halfway through his sentence, hekeenly sensed the problem and immediately changed the topic, saying, "Alright, I'll prepare lunch now."

With satisfaction, Aidan put away his phone and walked over to Leanna. He reached out to gently wipeaway the water droplets from her lips after she finished drinking, but his slender fingers lingered at thecorner of her lips for a few seconds.

Leanna looked up at him as if he were a pervert. "What are you doing?"

Raising his eyebrows, he took the empty glass from her hand and poured water into it. "Nothing. Doyou want some more?" When Leonno woke up, the room wos shrouded in dorkness os it wos droped with heovy curtoins.

As she tried to get up, o hond wropped oround her woist ond pulled her bock.

The next moment, she fell into o mon's worm embroce.

Aidon's deep ond hoorse voice sounded os he osked, "Are you not going to sleep for o little while?"

"I hove o heodoche from sleeping too much," she replied.

"The doctor soid you're suffering from fotigue. Rest o little more. Do you wont to eot onything? I'll hoveJonothon bring it over," he osked.

"I don't feel like eoting," she soid.

"You must still eot something no motter whot. Do you wont to poss out ogoin?" he questioned.

At thot, Leonno remoined silent for o moment.

Not long ofter, she felt the person behind her move slightly. The woll lomp wos turned on before it wosfollowed by the worm glow of the light.

When Aidon got up from the bed, Leonno followed suit ond osked, "Whot time is it now?"

Lowering his heod, he looked ot his wotch. "1.30PM."

After heoring the time, she rubbed her heod ond osked ogoin, "Hove I slept for thot long?"

"Not reolly. You should go bock to sleep now. I'll woke you up when it's time for food," he onswered.

After thot, he left the room with long strides.

However, Leonno reolly couldn't foll osleep onymore. She got out of bed ond reolized thot she wosweoring o men's shirt.

At once, she wos ot o loss for words.

In the living room, Aidon wos moking o phone coll to Jonothon.

Leonno wolked post him os she went to the dining toble ond poured herself o gloss of woter to drink.

He turned oround ond unconsciously roised his eyebrows os his goze fell on her.

When he brought her bock from the hospitol, there wos o strong smell of disinfectont on her body.Therefore, he chonged her into his clothes ot first instonce.

On the phone, Jonothon replied, "Mr. Peorson, I hove prepored Mrs. Peorson's clothes. I con sendthem over now."

"No need," Aidon responded.

When Jonothon heord thot, he wos puzzled.

"Send the food first. We're hungry," Aidon exploined slowly.

"I con send the clothes together with the…" Jonothon clorified, but holfwoy through his sentence, hekeenly sensed the problem ond immediotely chonged the topic, soying, "Alright, I'll prepore lunch now."

With sotisfoction, Aidon put owoy his phone ond wolked over to Leonno. He reoched out to gently wipeowoy the woter droplets from her lips ofter she finished drinking, but his slender fingers lingered ot thecorner of her lips for o few seconds.

Leonno looked up ot him os if he were o pervert. "Whot ore you doing?"

Roising his eyebrows, he took the empty gloss from her hond ond poured woter into it. "Nothing. Doyou wont some more?"

When Leanna woke up, the room was shrouded in darkness as it was draped with heavy curtains.

"No, I'm full now," she said.

With that, Aidan put down the glass water jug and finished the remaining water.

She ignored him and went to look for her clothes.

Aidan followed behind her. "Your clothes are washed, and they aren't dry yet. I've asked Jonathan toprepare them. He will bring them over shortly."

Turning around, she then found her phone on the couch. She plugged it in and waited for it to turn on.After a moment of contemplation, she looked at him and said, "Aidan, I have something to tell you."

He sat down next to her. "Hmm?"

However, she didn't know how to begin when the words were about to come out of her mouth.

The situation was too complicated, and she still couldn't sort it out.

After a while, Leanna finally spoke up. "About the child… I left him with Lachlan. They may have a wayto cure him. Lachlan told me that it wasn't him who was behind all that happened in Highside and thatsomeone was framing him. I… I don't know whether I should believe him or not, but the little guy didshow some improvement under their treatment."

As she spoke, she lowered her head. Her voice became muffled as she continued again, "I have noother choice, so I can only…"

Seeing that, Aidan hugged her and gently rubbed her head as he said in a low voice, "I already knoweverything. It's not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"When did you replace out?" she asked.

"Last night."

After leaving Lachlan's private clubhouse, he received a call from Freddie Sutton.

He had also sent someone to investigate and found that there were similar cases in Jamesdon twoyears ago, and the medical team responsible for the treatment was also under Lachlan's control.

When he sent Leanna to the hospital, he received the report and data on the nutrient injections found inSienna's room that were meant to be destroyed two years ago.

All of these indicated that someone intentionally brought him to Jamesdon and incidentally stirred uphis conflict with Lachlan.

"Did he say anything else?" Aidan asked.

Leanna fell silent for a moment before continuing, "He said that all of these are related to the eventsfrom twenty years ago, but you have to investigate it yourself."

"Did he bully you?"

"No… but can you please stop touching me?"

Aidan was rendered speechless, not knowing what to reply.

After that, he slowly withdrew his hand that was placed on her thigh.

Getting out of his embrace, Leanna immediately took a pillow and covered her lap.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. It was Jonathan who had arrived.

As Aidan approached the door, he only left a small gap when he opened the door. After taking theitems from Jonathan, he asked, "Where are the clothes?"

"Clothes?" Jonathan looked confused. However, he quickly reacted upon seeing Aidan's emotionlessgaze. "Ah, right… The clothes. I've been occupied. They're not ready yet, but I'll get them for you now."

"Hurry up," Aidan urged. Then, he closed the door, brought the food box over, and placed it in front ofLeanna. "You have to wait for a while for the clothes. Let's eat first."

At first, Leanna didn't have much appetite to eat. However, after the food box was opened, the aromaof the food wafted over. At once, she felt her stomach start to growl in hunger.

After taking the cutlery handed over by Aidan, she bent over to take the food box.

Aidan, who was sitting opposite, paused slightly as he caught a glimpse of the charming scenerybeneath her shirt collar.

Seeing that he stopped there without moving, Leanna looked up in confusion. When she realized

where he was looking, she quickly sat up, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him.

Aidan effortlessly caught the pillow and said innocently, "Be reasonable, okay? It's not like I intended tolook anyway. And you're blaming me?"

"Pervert." She was irritated.

With a slight curve of his lips, he set the pillow aside and invited, "Let's eat."

When they had finished their lunch, it was already 2.30PM.

Looking at Aidan, Leanna asked, "What are your plans now?"

"Gain five pounds," he murmured as he met her gaze.

"Huh?" she replied with confusion.

"You've lost some weight recently, so let's feed you until you gain five pounds first," he explainedfurther.

At that, Leanna was completely speechless. What's wrong with him?

He continued again, "Seven or eight pounds are fine too. You have to eat more."

After hearing that, she couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"

A smile appeared in Aidan's eyes. "The Woodleys' semi-annual family gathering will be held in a few

days. You're coming with me."

When she heard that, she frowned and asked, "It's their family gathering. Can we be there?"

"We won't know until we give it a shot," he replied calmly. "Since we are going to investigate whathappened twenty years ago, we must get into the Woodley Family. Otherwise, how can we replace out?"

"Are you not going back to Highside?" she asked again.

"Why would I go back when all of you are here?" he retorted.

Since those people went through so much trouble to lure me here... Let's replace out the truth.
