I'm Sorry My Love Novel

“I’m not going to do that. I’ll stay here and keep you company,” Zoe replied. “You don’t have to. If I need

anything, I can ring the nurses for help. There must still be a lot to deal with at the show. Quickly, go

on.” Recently, restlessness did not only catch up to Leanna but Zoe as well. Still, Leanna was able to

catch a few winks more than her friend as she had a baby to take care of. On the other hand, Zoe had

not gotten some shuteye for quite a long time now. After thinking it through, she conformed. “Okay,

then. I’ll come tomorrow. Remember to press the bell if you need anything and don’t try to stand up.”

Leanna smiled. “Don’t worry.” After Zoe left, Leanna absent-mindedly sat on the bed for quite a while.

Some time had passed before her thoughts slowly came back to her as her stomach rumbled loudly.

Hungry… She was so hungry that she could not sleep. Since the time was late, Leanna felt

embarrassed to ring the bell for this. She sat up cautiously and slowly walked with the help of the wall,

thinking that she could seek help at the nurse’s station.

However, she had reached the entrance of the ward when the door suddenly opened. Caught off

guard, she fell backward in shock. At that moment, her wrist was grabbed and an upset voice

questioned, “Why are you walking around?” She was speechless at this sight. Why hasn’t he left yet?

After stabilizing herself, she licked her dry lips and stated, “I’m hungry.” Shooting a glance at her, Aidan

replied, “Go lie back down.” From his gaze, she could tell that he found her troublesome. Still, she

lacked the strength to argue with him right now, so she could only use the wall and slowly retraced her

steps. “Stay there. I’ll be back soon,” he reminded before closing the door. Leanna did not reply to him.

God, why is he coming back again! After the brief interruption, hunger had taken over her body and she

had started to feel numb about it. At the thought of Aidan coming by later, she did not even have the

mood to eat as she pulled her sheets and decided to sleep instead. Just as she was entering deep

sleep, the blanket covering her was tossed aside. “Eat before you sleep.” Looking up, she was shocked

to see the food located beside her. Did he buy food for me? “Do you need me to mouth feed you?” he

asked sarcastically after receiving no reaction. Leanna’s mouth twitched as she did not want food given

to her out of pity. “I suddenly remembered that I was poisoned, so I should not be able to eat yet…”

“I’ve already inquired with the doctor. You’re suffering from mild poisoning. If you feel better after

waking up, then you can eat solid foods.” He then pursed his lips and continued, “Seeing that you

moved around just to find food, that means that you should be fine.”

Gripping the bed sheet involuntarily, she became alert after hearing that he had consulted the doctor.

“You consulted the doctor? What… did he tell you?” “What else is there besides mild poisoning?” His

words relieved her as she laughed awkwardly to disguise her true concern. “It’s nothing. Since my

stomach is sick, I thought that the doctor would forbid me from eating.” Aidan looked at her before

retrieving a box of food from the bag and placed it in front of her. “It’s nothing too serious. Eat up.” Truth

was, he went straight to the doctor’s office after he exited angrily from her ward. It might have been

because Zayn was alongside Leanna when she was admitted to the hospital, so the doctor had

assumed that he was the husband and father of the baby. Therefore, when the actual baby’s father had

come to ask about her condition, the doctor assumed that he was merely a co-worker who was

assigned to visit, based on his cold look. Hence, he only stated about her mild poisoning while

withholding the information that she was pregnant. While staring at the box of food before her, Leanna

found her stomach rumbling again. My baby must be famished too.

At that, she stopped hesitating and picked up the spoon to eat. However, she noticed that not only did

Aidan not leave, but he sat back down on the couch and started sifting through documents on his

phone. Confused by his actions, she accidentally choked onto her food. “Am I affecting your appetite

here?” The commotion had him looking up and asking. “That’s not it. It’s so late now, though… Aren’t

you returning home, President Pearson?” “What home?” After mocking himself, he then directed his

gaze at her. “After your meal, I have something to ask you.” What he meant was that she should be

eating quicker and not waste his time. In actual fact, Leanna did not catch on to what he said in the

former part of his sentence as he was speaking too softly though what she did hear at the end of his

sentence had made her lose appetite for her meal. What is he going to pin on me this time? Did I forget

about anything else besides owing him money?

This inherently caused Leanna to eat her food in a sour mood. When she finished, she put the spoon

down and asked, “What do you want to ask about, President Pearson?” “The reason for our divorce.”

Not this again… After all, this was the last thing that she expected him to ask after all the effort he

spent to stay out late and buy food for her. Still, she was just ready to speak when Aidan interrupted, “I

don’t wanna hear any excuses. I’ve known everything.”
