Chapter 69 No Reason to Stay When the doctor and nurse left, they saw Aidan. Then, the doctor
asked, “You must be the patient’s family. She—” Aidan retracted his gaze and answered coldly, “No.”
“So, who might you be?” “Just a passerby.” The doctor was rendered speechless. If you were just a
passerby, why would you stand here for so long? Just as the doctor was about to leave, Aidan
suddenly spoke, “She has an upset stomach. Please check on her.” The doctor was stunned before
asking, “Upset stomach? What are the specific symptoms?” “Nauseous and constant feeling of wanting
to puke.”
He smiled gently and replied, “Those are indeed symptoms of an upset stomach, but the patient has
been pregnant for four months. Nausea and vomiting are normal pregnancy reactions, so don’t be too
anxious.” Aidan was initially looking at Leanna, but when he heard those words, his eyes squinted into
icy blades. Exuding a cold aura, he questioned, “What did you say?” “N-Nausea and vomiting are
normal pregnancy reactions, so don’t… be anxious.” “The previous sentence.” The doctor asked
tentatively, “The patient is four months pregnant?” Aidan suddenly fell into a daze and the words
Leanna had told him started emerging in his mind, sentence by sentence. “Don’t you always ask me
what I want this time? Aidan, I’m pregnant. I have to plan for the future of the child in my womb. I want
half of all the property under your name. “Maybe it’s because I’ve never been on the runway, so I’m a
little nervous. When I’m nervous, I become nauseated and want to vomit. I’ll be fine after this.”

“I just found out that I… I lost my gastric pills. I’m not sure if I left it in your office…” “It’s not mine. It’s
Zoe’s… She and her boyfriend are about to get married and are trying to conceive.” “Didn’t I tell you
Zoe is trying to get pregnant? I’m the child’s future godmother, so it’s… normal for me to buy these
things.” He could not believe that he trusted her clumsy lies. After the doctor left, Aidan closed the door
of the ward and strode inside with his long legs. He sat in front of Leanna’s hospital bed with an
indifferent expression while mocking her, “Leanna, you think I’m a fool, don’t you?
Knowing what kind of person you are, I still get fooled by you every time.” On the hospital bed, Leanna
did not respond at all. Aidan looked down and noticed that her hand was always on her abdomen. Even
though she was not conscious, she was always protective of the child in her belly. It had been four
months. She hid it so well. … Leanna did not know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she
felt groggy and uncomfortable. After taking a few seconds to regain consciousness, she recalled falling
into the water and frantically reached for her belly. Feeling that her child was still in there, she breathed
a sigh of relief. However, when she turned around to see where she was, she met a pair of dark and
cold eyes.
Their eyes met for a few seconds and she bounced off the bed with strength that came out of nowhere.
Sitting on the edge of the bed with the blanket in her arms, she stammered nervously, “Pres… Why are
you here, President Pearson?” Aidan’s voice was light as he answered, “I don’t know. I could just be
passing by.” Suddenly, she remembered that it seemed to be Aidan, who had rescued her from the
swimming pool. She could not help clenching the blanket with her fingers and inquired cautiously, “Did
you send me to the hospital?” He looked at her with deep and dark eyes without speaking.
Leanna looked away uncomfortably. Why was that b*stard looking at her like that? She could not help
but shiver. After a while, she looked out of the window and saw the pale sky. Picking a random topic,
she asked, “I must have slept for a night. Sorry for the trouble. I will contact my friend to come over.”
Aidan questioned, “Which friend?” “Erm… Zoe. You’ve met her before.” He hummed indifferently,
“Didn’t you say she was preparing to get pregnant? Is she pregnant now?” Leanna was not sure why
he suddenly switched topics. Feeling a little nervous, she blurted, “I… I guess so?” “Can she still come
to the hospital to care for you if she’s pregnant?” “Huh? It’s fine if she doesn’t. I just choked on water,
so it shouldn’t be a big problem. I should be able to leave the hospital in the afternoon.”
After she finished speaking, he uttered, “If I remember correctly, her boyfriend seems to have cheated
on her. Is she still willing to give birth to his child? It seems that your friend is more generous than you.
You should learn from her.” Leanna was confused. This b*stard must have gone crazy. At this moment,
there was a knock on the door. Aidan retracted his gaze and said lightly, “Come in.” Soon, Jonathan’s
figure appeared in the ward. He took a kraft paper bag in his hand and placed it in front of Aidan.
“President Pearson, it’s all taken care of.” “Okay. You may leave.” After Jonathan greeted Leanna with
a nod, he left quickly. The door to the ward was closed, and the two of them were left in the room

His expression was so calm that it sent chills down her spine. He threw the kraft paper bag beside her
and instructed, “Open it.” “What is this?” Aidan did not answer, and his poker face remained. Leanna
picked up the kraft paper bag and opened it. When she took out the materials, Aidan’s emotionless
voice sounded, “This is half of all the property under my name. Sign it, and it’ll all be yours.” Hearing
that, she stopped moving. She tilted her head upward and questioned with a hoarse voice, “What do
you mean?” “Isn’t it what you asked for? You requested for half of the property under my name, or do
you regret it now and want more?” Leanna remembered clearly when she made this request. No
wonder Aidan asked her about Zoe’s pregnancy preparations earlier. He was doing it on purpose!
Judging from that, he must have found out. She slipped the half-exposed documents back into the bag
and went silent for a while before saying, “What do you want me to do?”
Without a second of hesitation, he stated with a cold voice, “Abort it.” Even though she already knew
what the answer would be, Leanna still felt that something sharp had pierced through her heart that she
could hardly breathe. “I didn’t expect you to be so generous. You’re willing to pay such a high price for
a child who is yet to be born.” “Yes. You won’t lose anything.” Not only did she not lose anything, it was
also a generous offer! “Then, what if…” Leanna bit her lip tightly until she could taste blood before
inquiring in a raspy voice, “I want to keep it?”
Aidan’s expression remained unchanged as he insisted, “You have no reason to keep it.” She smiled.
To him, the reason she approached him was always for money, no matter if she faked the pregnancy,
or not. Now that he offered half of the property in his name to abort a child, she had no reason to refuse
either.
