Chapter 711 Pay For His Actions

Since Leanna had been in the rain, she took a hot shower once she arrived home and got in bed.Moments later, she heard the doorbell ring. Aidan opened the door and asked the person outside,"What's the matter?"

Zoe whispered, "How is Nana?"

"She's asleep."

"That means she's fine, right?"

"Yes."

Zoe nodded and muttered, "That's great to hear."

After she finished, she was going to leave when Aidan called her. "Wait. Do you know how to makeginger soup?"

That shocked her. "What?"

He explained, "She was out in the rain. It's to prevent her from getting a cold."

It was then that Zoe realized what he meant and said, "Come with me."

Though she did not possess Leanna's great cooking skills and disliked eating the food she cooked, shestill knew some simple steps. When compared to the kitchen wrecker, Aidan, she was quite a

successful cook.

She entered the kitchen before he informed her. "I need to head out for a while. You take care of her."

"Sure."

Following the door closing, she released a long breath and began searching the entire kitchen forginger. Not long after that, a bowl of steaming ginger soup was done. She brought the soup toLeanna's room and placed it on the bedside table before calling her. "Nana? Nana."

Leanna was in a daze when she heard someone calling her name, so she gave a muffled response.Then, Zoe added, "Get up and drink some ginger soup. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold."

Hearing Zoe's voice, Leanna gradually awoke from her daze but felt her head spinning. When Zoenoticed her state, she touched Leanna's forehead and found it warm.

Leanna sat up in bed, but her voice sounded slightly nasal. "Where's Aidan?"

"He said he needed to go out. Maybe he has something to do."

Nodding, Leanna asked, "How are you?"

Zoe replied, "I'm fine, but I was too impulsive. If I didn't run out the moment I got the text, you wouldn'thave gotten tricked into going to the rooftop."

Smiling, Leanna assured her, "It had nothing to do with you. He would replace another way if he didn't get

your phone. Also, Leroy had been in hiding for too long, and if this chance hadn't popped up, hewouldn't have appeared so easily."

"Anyway, everything's fine now, and that b*stard's dead." After a short pause, Zoe continued, "By theway, I saw Joseph in the restaurant today. He and Aidan were fired up. Oh, and that Lachlan guy. Didn'tJoseph bring Charlotte for a meal there? What happened?"

"It's quite complicated, Zoe. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to pull you into this situation. JosephWoodley… He's not a good person. You can say that he and Leroy were in the same boat, but forsome reason, they gave up on Leroy, which led to him jumping off the building tonight."

Zoe was baffled to hear that. "I thought he was a good person, so when Charlotte left with him, I…"

Leanna held Zoe's hand and pursed her lips. "Zoe, there's one more thing. He was behind Charlotte'sabduction."

When Zoe heard that, she froze in her spot. That means my child…

Leanna added, "Don't worry. He will pay the consequences of his actions."

Lowering her head, Zoe felt a soreness in her nose. Then, Leanna leaned over and pulled her into herarms. It took Zoe a while before she asked, "Daniel… How is he?"

After returning, Zoe saw the news of Crossley Group mortgaging their assets. At first, she wanted toask about that but thought Leanna might not be feeling good. She did not want to trouble her and theothers.

Leanna comforted her. "He's going to be fine. They gave us two days, and it's not even a day yet."

"But it's such a huge amount…"

Leanna patted Zoe's back. "We'll replace a way as long as they're still in Highside."

Zoe suddenly got the gist of the situation. "That's right. No one in Highside can act more arrogant thanDevil Aidan."

That cracked Leanna up because Aidan had just earned a new nickname.

Zoe released Leanna and rubbed her eyes. "Okay, let's stop for now. The soup's getting cold, so drinkup while it's still warm."

"Okay." Leanna drank from the bowl and found the soup still hot.

Then, Zoe reminded her, "Nana, you should go to sleep after drinking the soup and sweat it out. Takesome medication if you still feel sick tomorrow."

Leanna nodded. "I'm going to be fine."

Once she finished the soup, Zoe tucked her into bed and covered her body with the blanket. Shegrabbed the empty bowl and said, "Take a rest. I'll head home first."

Leanna muttered, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

After Zoe left, Leanna closed her eyes, and not knowing whether the ginger soup worked, the scene inher dream gradually became more terrifying.

First, there was a massive fire in the scene, engulfing her and causing her to break out in sweats.Following that, she saw the fire change into a storm. Before she could react to the change, she sawsomeone falling before her. The next second, she felt like someone was pushing her from behind,causing her to plunge forward uncontrollably.

That sudden feeling of floating shocked her from her sleep. She fiercely sat up in bed with her foreheaddrenched with sweat.

Aidan sat beside her, asking, "Did I wake you?"

Leanna shook her head. "No, I…"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

She did not answer but looked forward in a daze. Reaching over, he pulled her into his arms andcomforted her, "I'm here. Don't be afraid."

Once she calmed down, she asked, "Where did you go?"

"You were at the scene when Leroy fell, so there were some things the cops needed to confirm."

"Then, why didn't you call me?"

Gently rubbing her head, he replied, "I can manage that."

Leanna wanted to say something else, but Aidan pulled on the blanket and covered her. "Alright, let'sgo to bed. We can talk about this tomorrow."

Slowly retreating from his embrace, she sniffled. "Why don't you sleep outside tonight? I have a coldand don't want you to get sick too."

"It's just a cold."

"But—"

He leaned in and kissed her lips. "There."

Speechless, she chastised, "If you're down with another cold, I won't have the strength to take care ofyou."

He replied, "Alice just happens to be free recently. We can call her here if we both get a cold."

That rendered Leanna at a loss for words. She hid under the covers and closed her eyes. "Alright. Let'ssleep."
