Chapter 509

After the body check-up, the doctor glanced at Leanna before looking at Aidan and coughed. "Why

don't the husband wait outside?"

Displeased, Aidan frowned. "Why?"

"Because we might need some detailed check-ups. You'll be in the way," the doctor replied seriously.

"I'm her husband. What's inconvenient about that?"

Leanna tugged his sleeve. "I think it's better to listen to him. You can wait outside."

After Aidan left reluctantly, her hands clasped tightly on her knees. "I-Is there a problem with the check-

up?"

The doctor shook his head. "It's not about that."

She sighed in relief before he added, "I've gone through your previous medical records. You had a

miscarriage four years ago, but you haven't been taking care of your health since then. Am I right?"

Leanna was stunned at that. Catching on to what he was about to say, she nodded reflexively.

"We've found out that you were pregnant one year ago too. I bet your doctor must've told you that you

struck it lucky to have that baby."

Her throat suddenly felt dry. "Yes… He did say that."

He placed her reports before her. "Unfortunately, you're not pregnant. Your late periods happen

because of endocrine disorders due to an unhealthy routine. "

"Does that mean I won't have a baby in the future?" she questioned.

"There's contingency. If you truly want a baby right now, you gotta take good care of yourself. It's just

that the chances are slim for you than most people."

Noticing her pallid face, the doctor comforted her, "Don't give up on hope. Though it's not easy to get

pregnant, there's still a chance. Besides, there are plenty of dink families out there. Don't push yourself

too hard. I asked your husband to wait outside because I respect your choice. You should think of how

to relay the message to him."

"Thanks." Her voice sounded hoarse.

Leanna could not remember how she left the office, but she finally understood how helpless and

flustered Zoe was yesterday. Sometimes, reality would not go as one wished.

Zoe did not want kids and yet, she was pregnant. On the contrary, Leanna would most likely stay

barren for the rest of her lifetime.

"What's the result?" The man's gruff voice pulled her senses back, and his features gradually became

clear in front of her. Aidan's brows furrowed at her pale complexion. "What did he say?"

Leanna shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Then, why the long face?"

As he tried to enter the office, she quickly thwarted him and whispered, "It's not a big deal. I swear!

Just… I'm having my period right now, and it hurts."

"It came?" he reconfirmed.

"Yeah. Let's go home," she suggested in a feathery voice. Judging from the doctor's statement, they

need not have to request the test results anymore.

She took barely two steps when an arm coiled around her waist to lift her. Before she could say

something, Aidan cooed, "If it hurts, get some sleep."

Instead of breaking free from him, she buried her face into his chest and closed her eyes quietly. On

their way back, she piped up, "Aidan."

"Yeah?"

"Please take me to Zoe. I wanna see her."

"Okay."

Once they arrived at Zoe's place, he told her, "I'll wait for you here."

"No. You should get going. I'll take the cab later." She unbuckled the seatbelt and was going to alight

from the car, yet he grabbed her wrist. She looked back at him. "What's the matter?"

Staring deeply at her, he reached out to tuck the hair behind her ear. "It doesn't matter if you're not

pregnant. It's not a big deal. If you want one, I'll try harder."

Leanna went silent for a moment. "Even if the Pearsons don't pose any threat to you, do you still not

like children?"

"I don't like 'em because I think they're a nuisance. The Pearsons don't have much to do with this."

"W-What if you're dead? Who will inherit your fortune?"

"You." It did not take him a second to answer that question.

"What if I leave before you?"

"No way that's happening."

Leanna could not help but pout her lips because he asserted certainty about the unknown future. After

pondering for a second, she became serious. "Even if you don't like kids now, we won't know what will

happen in the next few years. What if you want one in the future and we can't afford to have one?"

Aidan licked the bottom of his lips. "Are you questioning my manhood?"

She paused while trying to understand where the conversation was led to. "No, I mean, what if…"

She could not continue her reason further, and he stroke her head. "Alright, alright. What's the use of

worrying about this and that? If you wanna have kids, I'll be by your side, and so will I if you don't want

to."

Since she did not wish to continue that topic any further with him, she gave a perfunctory response and

opened the car door. "Bye. Be careful on your way back home."

"I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"It's okay. I wanna stay longer."

"Shoot me a message when you start your journey back." Aidan showed concession because she was

not in a good mood.

"Alright," Leanna reassured.

She entered Zoe's house, in which the owner was reclining on the couch while staring at her phone

intensely.

"Where's Alice?" asked Leanna.

"I told her to get some rest. She just made a feast. I already had two meals," Zoe responded airily.

Leanna sat next to her, glancing at that phone. "Are you going to tell Daniel?"

"I don't know. I was thinking about it in my dream last night too. I feel like I'm going outta my mind."

Leanna patted Zoe's shoulder. "No rush. We still have two weeks."

She then headed for the toilet, whereas a helpless Zoe flopped onto the couch. She accidentally

dropped Leanna's bag. When she picked it up from the floor, she saw the queue ticket number for a

gynecologist.

Zoe was all thrilled when Leanna returned. "Nana, are you expecting too?"

Leanna was stunned momentarily before she smiled. "No."

"Huh? But I saw the queue ticket to see a gynecologist."

"My period is late for three days, so Aidan thought that was it. We went to the hospital, but the doctor

said it was because of an endocrine disorder due to an unhealthy routine."

The news left Zoe deflated. "I thought we could—"

She stopped halfway immediately. What do you mean by 'we', Zoe Hart? I'm going to abort the baby!

What the hell were you thinking about?!
