Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 788 She Has Lost Weight Lately

Once the endorsement advertisement was finished, Leanna took charge of the other promotional activities and received a good online response.

But Zoe could still tell that Leanna was not happy.

She often stared out her office window, lost in thought for the whole afternoon, and Zoe would have no idea what she was thinking about.

After finishing her work, Zoe approached her and asked, "Nana. Nana?"

Hearing someone calling her, Leanna finally snapped out of her thoughts and met Zoe's gaze. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zoe asked, "Nothing's wrong. I ordered some snacks for tea time and asked what you wanted to eat."

Leanna replied, "I don't have much of an appetite, you go ahead and order for yourself."

But Zoe wasn't anxious to leave. Instead, she sat down and asked, "Did you have a fight with President Pearson?"

Hearing that, Leanna paused for a moment and shook her head gently. "No."

"So… Did something happen to Louis?"

Leanna continued shaking her head. "No, it's not that either."

Then, Zoe tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

Her words were right by her lips, but Leanna didn't know how to tell Zoe about the series of complicated and embarrassing events.

She rubbed her temples. "It's nothing. Maybe I just haven't been resting well lately."

Suddenly recalling that the other had been trying to conceive, Zoe was in high spirits as her eyes were filled with ambiguity. "Having a baby is important, but you also need to take care of your health. President Pearson should restrain himself."

Leanna didn't know how to respond.

What does that have to do with anything? she wondered.

To prevent Zoe from making up more nonsense, Leanna stood up and ushered her out, then locked herself in her office again, watching the sunset gradually disappear in the distance.

After a long time, she shifted her gaze to the empty sketchbook.

She hadn't been able to draw anything for several days now.

When it was almost time to get off work, Waylen sent over Leanna and Zoe's medications.

After returning home, Leanna placed the medicine in the refrigerator and cleared the empty box before placing Zoe's medicine inside and bringing it to her.

She reminded the other, "This is a week's worth of medicine. It needs to be stored at a low temperature, so just leave it in the refrigerator. Take it three times a day. After you finish them, Waylen will send the remaining course of treatment."

Nodding, Zoe replied, "I understand. Thank him for me."

Leanna added, "I have already sent him the information about your mother's condition, but he has been busy lately. Her condition requires long-term treatment, so we'll have to wait a little longer."

"It's no rush. We can wait until he's free."

Leanna excused herself. "Okay, you should wash up. I'm going home now."

"Nana," Zoe called her, suspiciously asking, "You and President Pearson aren't arguing, right?"

With a smile, Leanna assured her, "No, we aren't."

Zoe said, "If he mistreats you, tell me, and I'll… I'll beat him up."

"Don't worry. There's no telling who would be the bully between us."

Hearing that, Zoe was instantly filled with admiration for the other and gave her a thumbs up. "Impressive."

It seemed that only Leanna could keep Aidan under control.

Leanna smiled and said, "Alright, let's keep this conversation for another time. He'll be back for dinner soon, so I need to get cooking."

"Sure, go ahead."

There goes another round of her showing off her loving relationship, Zoe complained inside.

After Leanna left, Zoe cleaned up the refrigerator and put the medicine box inside.

She found a lot of expired items in the refrigerator.

Most of them were bought when Daniel was still around.

Since they were fresh produce, they only had a few days of shelf life.

Later, she threw all the items into the trash can without hesitation and then leisurely went downstairs to throw away the garbage.

When she returned, she coincidentally got on the same elevator as Aidan.

Zoe stood at the back, looking at the cold and stern figure in front of her, wanting to speak up several times but stopping herself.

While glancing at her from the corner of his eye, Aidan asked, "Is there something you'd like to say to me?"

Zoe laughed awkwardly and said, "Good evening, President Pearson. Are you going home?"

Though the other said nothing, his gaze fully expressed how stupid Zoe's question was.

Zoe hesitated to speak because she thought it was not her place to say anything about Leanna and Aidan's private matter. Moreover, Leanna had already explained that they weren't arguing.

However, Leanna's recent state had her feeling worried.

So she was in a dilemma.

Soon, the elevator stopped.

But Aidan didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood there and watched the doors close again.

Then, he asked in a low voice, "Did something happen to Leanna?"

"Huh?" Hearing him mention it, Zoe replied, "Nothing happened. It's just that she hasn't been herself lately, and she has lost a lot of weight. She said she hasn't been resting well, but I don't think she's telling the truth."

Once she said that, she muttered to herself, "Nana didn't even act that way when she was preparing her design to participate in Fashion Week. But why is her condition worsening even though she's no longer participating in the competition and drinking medicine to regulate her health?"

Aidan furrowed his brows slightly. "What did you say?"

Zoe immediately raised her head. "It's just... Leanna hasn't been in a good state."

"The next sentence."

"She's not going to participate in Fashion Week?"

With pursed lips, Aidan was silent momentarily before saying, "The next sentence."

Zoe carefully recalled what she had said and tentatively repeated, "She's taking medicine to regulate her health?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

There was a hint of coldness in Aidan's voice as he asked, "When did this start?"

"I-It's been a while now."

While answering, Zoe became confused. Does Aidan not know about that?

Aidan continued to ask, "Have you met her attending physician?"

That made Zoe even more puzzled. "I haven't seen him before. Isn't it the doctor sending her her medication, the doctor from the Woodley Family? Leanna said he was the attending physician for her baby..."

After that, Aidan said nothing more and pressed the elevator button to open the door before exiting.

Zoe scratched her head, wondering, Oh, no. Did I say something wrong?

She walked to her own door. At the thought of Aidan's expression just now, she felt somewhat worried and decided to go to their door before putting an ear against it.

Hopefully, she didn't start a fight between them.

Inside the house.

Leanna had just finished cutting the vegetables and was about to start cooking when she heard the sound of the door opening.

She glanced outside the kitchen and told Aidan, "Take a shower first. The food will be ready in a—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Aidan had already walked up to her.

Looking at the man's deep brows and eyes, Leanna whispered, "What's wrong?"

Aidan looked at her pointed chin and suddenly realized that Zoe was right; she had lost weight recently.

He raised his hand and caressed the side of her neck while keeping his voice low. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Leanna was stunned. "No, I'm not..."

But Aidan interjected, "So why did you lose weight?"

Leanna instinctively avoided his gaze and looked away.
