I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 587 For Your Sake

Aidan leaned against the door. The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened when he saw Leanna

coming out of her place with her luggage.

When he met Leanna's gaze, he merely raised his eyebrows slightly, took a step back, and made way for her to

enter his place.

Leanna took two steps but paused in her tracks. She stopped in front of another house instead of entering Aidan's

house.

She tried inserting the code, but it buzzed out an error.

A few failed attempts later, Leanna swiveled her head and looked at Aidan. "What's the password?"

Aidan made his way into his house while he replied distantly, "Can't remember."

Leanna silently waved a fist at his back silhouette.

Someone opened the door of the adjoining unit at this moment, and Zoe poked her head out. When she saw

Leanna's luggage, she asked, "Nana, why don't you come over and stay with me for two days?"

Leanna shook her head and refused, "Better not. I'm afraid I might pass my cold on to you."

Just as she finished her sentence, Daniel also came out. "Or how about this… Zoe will stay with me, and Miss

McKinney, you can stay at her place. This way, you can check on your son whenever you want."

Zoe figured it was a fantastic idea as she went along with it. "Yeah, Nana. I think—"

However, she bit her tongue halfway through her sentence and instantly forced the rest of her sentence down her

throat after seeing the man's stony face right across her.

Leanna didn't notice that minor interaction as her brain was somewhat fuzzy. So, she massaged her temples and

said, "Forget it. It's raining so heavily outside, so it will be inconvenient for the two of you to go out."

Zoe took the opportunity to echo, "Fair enough. In that case, we won't leave. We… Uh… We'll be heading to bed

now. Good night!"

Daniel still wanted to say something. Alas, Zoe promptly dragged him into the house and swiftly shut the door.

Leanna turned around and saw Aidan passing his living room with a cup in his hand as if nothing had happened.

She released a cold snort as she moved her feet and stepped into the house.

Then, after she shut the door behind her, she placed her stuff down, went to the closet in the bedroom, took a

blanket, and covered the couch with it.

Just then, Aidan came over and commented leisurely, "I don't mind sharing half of my bed with you, though. There's

no reason for you to sleep on the couch."

Yet, Leanna simply ignored him, smoothened the blanket, picked up her luggage, and went straight into the

bedroom.

Aidan followed behind her. "Lea—"

Before he could say anything further, the bedroom door abruptly shut with a bang.

As he stared at the door, a somewhat perplexed Aidan thought, So, what she means to tell me is that I will be

sleeping on the couch tonight?

Nevertheless, he tried to wriggle out of his circumstances as he knocked on the door. "Are you seriously making a

sick person sleep on the couch?"

"Thanks to you, I am also sick," Leanna retorted snappishly.

"Well, we can sleep together."

She immediately locked the door when she heard his suggestion.

Aidan stood outside the door with one hand on his hip as he clicked his tongue. Finally, after he waited for a couple

of minutes and saw that she was resolute in her decision, he begrudgingly made his way toward the couch.

There was another knock on the bedroom door half an hour later.

Aidan's muffled voice rang out, "It's time to eat."

Leanna rubbed her stomach at his words, figuring that she could eat. Besides, it was free food. Why shouldn't she

eat? So, she placed the draft in her hand down and opened the bedroom door.

Once she came to the dining room, she saw there was mushroom soup and a few dishes on the dining table.

It was evident that Aidan asked someone to send these dishes over.

So, she didn't bother standing on ceremony and helped herself.

He sat opposite her as he asked carefully, "Is your cold getting better?"

Leanna filled an empty bowl with the mushroom soup and hummed, "I feel better compared to this morning."

With that, Aidan reached up, crossed the dining table, and placed his palm on her forehead.

She was taken aback by his abrupt actions. Immediately afterward, his voice rang in her ears. "Luckily, your body

temperature is normal."

"Of course, it's normal. I didn't even have a fever in the first place."

Aidan slowly withdrew his hand and mused, "Oh, really?"

After the meal, she raised her head to look at the time and saw it was already 9.00PM.

Then, she decided to boil some water in the kettle for later. Afterward, she returned to the bedroom and continued

working on her draft.

Since work had been piling up recently, things had been rather hectic, and she didn't have the time to really focus

on creating something new. Thus, although the studio had launched its online shop, there was a delay in the release

of the new designs.

Therefore, Leanna seized the rare opportunity of the current peace and quiet and fully placed her entire focus on

the design drawings. She was so immersed in her work that she completely forgot about taking her medicine. She

also didn't hear the knocking on the door at all.

When Aidan pushed the door open after knocking several times, he saw her sitting and swiftly sketching lines on the

draft paper with a pencil on her desk. He leaned against the door and watched her for a while before he retracted

his gaze, turned around, and went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.

Leanna only instinctively raised her head when he placed the glass of water on the table.

"It's time to take your medicine," Aidan reminded her.

"Okay." Leanna took the medicine he handed over and touched the glass of water again. The water temperature is

just right.

After she finished taking the medicine, he took the glass, turned around, and strode out of her room.

The moment she noticed his lack of… Everything, she couldn't help but quirk her eyebrow in intrigue. She was

somewhat surprised as she probably never thought that he was capable of being non-combatant for more than five

minutes.

Nonetheless, she soon turned her attention back to the draft that had taken shape in front of her. She figured that

she was done for the day as she slowly rose to her feet and stretched. After that, she gently opened the door.

Aidan was currently taking his medicine outside. Oh, so he does know how to take his medication on time. Here I

thought he would actually forsake that arm of his.

Then, she closed the door, sat back down in front of the desk, and continued on with her work.

Leanna wasn't sure if it was because she had slept all afternoon or some other factors. Regardless, she did realize

that she actually wasn't feeling sleepy at all that night after she took her medicine.

The clock kept ticking, and it was already midnight by the time Leanna finally massaged her tired neck and checked

the time once more.

When she saw the time, she walked out of the bedroom and saw Aidan sitting on the couch, using his laptop.

Leanna made her way over with a first-aid kit.

Aidan kept his laptop away the instant she took a seat next to him.

Leanna's gaze lingered on Aidan's injury while she changed the wound dressing.

Although she changed his dressing twice, the lighting was dim since it took place in a bedroom. So, she wasn't able

to take a good look at how severe the wound actually was. Therefore, the injury turned out to be even more

gruesome than she expected now that she was changing the dressing under the bright lights of the living room.

Aidan naturally sensed her gaze and promptly covered her eyes with his palm. "Don't look."

"How am I able to change your dressing if I can't look at it?"

"I will give you directions, and you follow. Okay?"

Leanna was rendered speechless by his answer. Why is he complicating such an easy task?

Nevertheless, he took a cotton swab and placed it in her hand. Then, he held her hand and moved it next to the

wound.

Eventually, she listened to his instructions the entire time as he never once removed his hand away from covering

her eyes. Hence, it took longer than she expected to change the dressing for his wound this time around.

She couldn't help but comment while she tossed the trash away, "Why are you so shy? It's not like this is the first

time I'm changing the wound dressing for you."

"You never showed such an expression before."

Leanna parted her lips but said nothing as she couldn't think of any reasons to refute him.

Then, Aidan went on to say, "It's my duty to protect you, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Leanna raised her voice and retorted hotly, "I don't blame myself!"

Aidan curled his lips into a smile before he answered, "Easy. You don't have to shout. I can hear you."

Leanna gritted her teeth. Eventually, she couldn't restrain herself and kicked him. Damn! He really is a b*stard! I

have indeed been blaming myself because of this matter. Yet, why does he have to remind me and magnify this

guilt in my heart when I have been suppressing it very well and not showing it?!

The longer Leanna thought about it, the angrier she got. Hence, she pushed herself off the couch in a huff and

intended to storm back into the fortress that is the bedroom. Alas, Aidan grabbed her wrist as soon as she

displayed any signs of leaving.

Aidan tugged on her wrist, causing her to fall into his arms.

She immediately struggled to break free, yelling, "Let go of me!"

Aidan groaned quietly as he furrowed his brows slightly. "Stop hitting me. It hurts."

"Go ahead and keep pretending."

"You will still be the one changing my dressing again if the wound's condition worsens. I'm just saying that for your

sake."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. "Are you still mad at me?"

"Why do you keep asking me that every single day? Are you sure you're not a broken record? Of course, I am mad

at you. In fact, I'm so furious that I think I'm about to go ballistic—"

Before Leanna finished her sentence, Aidan shut her up with a kiss.

He also slyly took advantage of the fact that she had yet to come back to her senses as he cradled the back of her

head and deepened the kiss.
