Love's Change of Heart

Leonno smiled ond potted his shoulder. "I won't object to this. Whotever you wont to do, you hove my

full support." Then she soid, "Zoe even told me she's going to be your fon club's president if you ever

debut." She wos then reminded of something else. "Oh, Dophne did soy something obout this, but she

wonted you to tell me yourself. Is thot it?"

Louis nodded. "I think so."

"Sure, but I hove one condition." Leonno soid seriously, "You con get into o relotionship or even shoot o

movie, but don't let thot get in the woy of your studies."

"I know. I won't."

Leonno knew he wouldn't. Louis hod been o top student ever since he wos o kid. She did not need to

worry obout him.

After Louis wos gone, Leonno got in her cor ond colled Jonothon. She wonted him to find out where

Georgino wos. Once she got the oddress, Leonno went stroight to the hospitol.

Meonwhile, the doctor hod just finished bondoging Georgino, ond soid, "Don't expose your wound to

woter. Come bock in two doys to get your dressing chonged."

A frown creosed Georgino's brows, ond she shot up impotiently. "I got it." She roised her wrist ond

exited the consultotion room. A moment loter, she sow Leonno woiting for her neorby.

Georgino sneered. "Here to see if I'm wounded?"

Leonno soid colmly, "You know you must put in the effort if you wont me to believe you. And thot's why

you're here."

"This is oll thonks to you. Don't lough ot me. It's onnoying."

Leonno soid, "I shouldn't lough ot you." Georgino wos obout to soy something, but Leonno continued, "I

should hold o porty to celebrote."

Georgina gnashed her teeth. "You think you've won? Honestly, sometimes you astonish me. Aidan

used to hate your guts. He even wanted to kill your baby, but now you're back with him. Doesn't the

sight of him disgust you?"

Leanna remained unfazed. "Miss Crossley, you don't like me either, but still you faked being my friend.

Doesn't the sight of me disgust you?" She didn't give Georgina a chance to answer and continued,

"You keep saying you'd have been the one to marry Aidan if it weren't for me. That's why you hate me,

but if I'm right, you don't think highly of Aidan either. You think an illegitimate child like him is unworthy

of a pureblood like you."

The look on Georgina's face changed, but she remained silent.

"You think you're worthy of everything you have. You think you're a legitimate heir, but I doubt that."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Leanna smiled. "Nothing. I have to go now. Rest well, Miss Crossley."

Georgina looked at her coldly.

Leanna emerged from the hospital and was about to leave, but she ran into someone.

Justin smiled at her. "It's been a while, Leanna."

"Mr. Pearson," she said.

"What brings you here? Are you unwell?"

"No. I have business to do." She paused for a moment. "Are you sick?"

Justin placed his hands on his knees and stared at them. "It's nothing. A condition of mind. I can't stand

up, but my legs hurt a few times every year." He looked at her. "Let's sit down and chat if you don't

mind."

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

They came to a coffee shop, and he asked, "Have you been well?"

A small smile tugged at Leanna's lips. "I'm fine, as usual."

Justin took a sip of coffee. "I heard that you got back with Aidan."

"Yes."

He smiled. "That's good. I know Aidan. He's a softie. He fell for you a long time ago."

Leanna remained smiling, but she had no idea what to say. After his apology after the car crash last

time, it had been a while since they met. She didn't know how to treat Justin. On the one hand, he was

one of the few who were nice to her, but on the other hand, his mother was the one who set her up and

killed her child.

A moment later, Justin said, "I've also heard of your feud with the Crossleys. What's your plan? Do you

need any help?"

Leanna shook her head. "No. I'm moving out."

Surprised, Justin asked, "Why?"

"Maybe because they don't like me. I don't have any reason to stay with them. I stayed with them for

money, and now that I've gotten what I wanted, it's time to leave."

"You're not that kind of woman, Leanna."

Leanna smiled. "Perhaps I've masked myself too well. I didn't want much when I was poor, but now I

know there's nothing money can't settle." A moment later, her phone rang. It was from Aidan. She

looked at it and said, "I have something to settle. See you."

Justin nodded. "See you."

Leanna smiled and left the coffee shop. Her phone stopped ringing right there and then. She called

Aidan back as she approached her car.

Once the call made it through, Aidan asked, "Still at the hospital?"

"I just left and am about to head to the studio. What's up?"

Aidan slowly asked, "Done with your business?"

"Well, I suppose. There's not much I can do now," Leanna answered.

"Want me to pick you up?"

That explains why he called me. She got in her car. "Tomorrow morning, maybe. I need to pack

tonight."

"No problem," Aidan answered without hesitation.

Leanna pursed her lips and stayed silent for a while. In the end, she said, "I ran into your brother."

"Justin?"

"Yeah. He's probably here to get his legs checked."

Aidan frowned. "Did he say anything to you?"

A sigh escaped Leanna's lips. "Nothing. Just made small talk."
