Chapter 532
Leanna was sleeping soundly when her phone rang.
With her eyes closed, she tried to rummage around for it, but Aidan held her hand and tucked it back
into the blanket. Groggily, he said, "Ignore it. Just sleep."
"Stop that. What if it's an emergency?" She got out of his embrace and picked her phone up. Zoe? She
turned around to look at the sleeping Aidan, then she left the room to take the call. "What is it, Zoe?"
whispered Leanna.
With a trembling voice, Zoe said, "I-I'm bleeding, Leanna. Maybe the results were wrong. Maybe my
period is just late."
Leanna woke up completely and quickly said, "That might be a sign of a miscarriage. Hold on. I'll be
right there."
"O-Okay, I'll be waiting."
"Calm down. It'll be fine." Leanna hung up and returned to her room. There wasn't even time to change.
All she did was wear a bra and grab her coat, then she was ready to go.
Just as she turned around, Aidan asked, "Where are you going dressed like that? It's midnight."
"It's Zoe. She's in trouble, and I'm taking her to the hospital. You go back to sleep."
Aidan got up before she could even finish. "Get changed. I'm taking you there."
"But…"
"Get changed. Don't waste any more time talking."
He has a point. She stopped talking and grabbed some clothes from the closet room.
Just when she was about to change, Aidan said, "I'll start the car. Come down when you're done."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay." After Leanna got changed, she hurried downstairs. When she came to the neighborhood's
entrance, Aidan's car was already waiting for her. There weren't a lot of cars on the road at this hour.
Twenty minutes later, they were already at Zoe's place. Leanna unbuckled her seatbelt while saying,
"I'm picking her up. Wait here."
"Yeah," said Aidan languidly.
Leanna went into her friend's house only to be greeted by a pale and worried Zoe. Concerned, Leanna
asked, "Can you walk, Zoe?"
Zoe nodded. "Yeah."
Leanna held her up. "Let's go. Aidan's waiting for us."
Zoe didn't move.
Leanna asked, "What's the matter?"
"Um, this probably isn't that serious. Just feels like a regular period. I just used some pads."
Leanna snapped, "What are you thinking?"
Zoe smiled weakly. "I just don't want to trouble him. It's midnight. And he scares me."
"Let's go."
While they were on the way to the hospital, Zoe rested her head on Leanna's shoulder, looking listless.
She was tired both physically and mentally.
Leanna took her to the emergency department right after they reached the hospital. Once she was sent
into the consultation room, Leanna finally heaved a sigh of relief, but her frown remained.
Aidan patted her head. "Don't worry. She'll be fine."
Leanna nodded and held his hand. "I'll stay. You go home and catch some sleep. There's work to be
done tomorrow."
It was a busy period for Aidan, so sleep was a luxury for him. At this rate, he wouldn't be sleeping
much.
Just then, someone ran down the corridor. It was Daniel. He approached the couple, huffing and
puffing. "How's she looking?"
Leanna was surprised that he showed up, and she looked at Aidan. "I called him," answered Aidan.
Leanna turned her attention to Daniel. "She's getting checked. This might take a while."
"Thanks for helping her," said Daniel.
Leanna asked, "Why? She's my friend. I should be helping her."
Daniel opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Aidan held Leanna's hand and sat down. Time went by, but Daniel kept pacing back and forth, his
brows folded into a frown.
A few minutes later, Aidan said, "Too late for worries. You should have cared about her sooner."
I don't want to hear that from you!
The consultation room's door creaked open at this moment, and the doctor said, "Is the patient's family
here?"
Leanna was about to stand up, but Daniel was faster. "Yes. How is she looking?"
"Threatened miscarriage, but it's not too serious. I've prescribed some pills for her. Make sure she
takes them on time, and don't let her move around too much. She needs to rest. Always be careful
during early pregnancy. You're her husband. Don't slack off."
Daniel pursed his lips, but he didn't argue.
The doctor handed him the prescription. "Here. Pay the bill before collecting her medication."
"Thanks." Daniel took the prescription.
Leanna looked at him and heaved a sigh of relief. She then entered the consultation room and helped
her friend up. "Feeling better?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoe nodded. "I'm alright. Just had a scare, that's all."
The doctor said, "Threatened miscarriage can be serious. Don't take it lightly. Just don't move around
too much, alright? Stay in bed. If you need anything, tell your husband to do it."
A shocked Zoe said, "Husband? But I don't have a husband."
The doctor looked at Leanna in confusion. "That guy who paid for the bill wasn't her husband?"
Leanna chuckled dryly. "He is. Just not married yet."
"Ah, so he's her boyfriend." He sighed. "You should leave pregnancy until you're married, young
woman. It's a risky thing to do, getting knocked up before you're married. If the guy you're dating is a
nice one, then it's fine. But if—"
Leanna quickly said, "Thanks, doctor. We'll be going now." And she took Zoe away.
Once they left the room, Zoe whispered, "He was talking about Daniel, wasn't he?"
Leanna nodded. "He came."
Zoe stayed silent. She had no idea what to say.
Daniel came back from the pharmacy and approached Zoe. "I got your medication." He then said,
"Thank you, Miss McKinney, Mr. Pearson. Leave everything else to me." He reached out to take Zoe
from Leanna.
Zoe tried to stop him. "Hey."
But Daniel held her arm. "Don't move. Doctor's orders."
Leanna wanted to say something, but Aidan held her shoulder. "We'll be going now."
They walked away, but a worried Leanna turned around. She saw Zoe waving at her, and Leanna said,
"I'll see you tomorrow, Zoe."
Aidan said, "Nope. You're not the one she needs right now."
Oh, shut it.
