Chapter 1353
The ward was quiet.
"Who is it?"
Aleigha thought for a moment and asked.
"Aubrianna."
Hearing this name, Aleigha was not surprised. She smiled and said, "She made you angry."
A touch smiling flashed across Adrian's eyes. He nodded, "Very."
"Jaidyn must be difficult."
"Yes, he was."
"What are you planning to do?" Aleigha stretched out her hand and landed it on the back of Adrian's hand.
As feeling Aleigha' s warmth, Adrian was distracted from thinking.
"I thought I would be heartless to her, but I still saved her life at the last moment."
Aleigha nodded. She gently caressed Adrian's hand with her fingertips. "Just follow your mind."
"You can go home in a few days. The doctor said that you were injured before, with the new wound, you should rest more and should be well taken care of. When you fully recover, let's hold the wedding." The car accident broke Adrian's plan, which made him annoyed.
"Okay. It's too late. You should go back."
Seeing Adrian, she was as if seeing stars shining.
"I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll wait until you asleep before leaving."
Aleigha closed her eyes, and soon she let out soft breathing sounds.
Adrian walked out of the ward and sat on the lounge chair.
"Mr. Xiao, Jaidyn's people nosed out the news of Aubrianna."
Adrian's face relaxed and he let out a faint 'hmm' sound.
In the middle of the night, Adrian left the hospital. Just as his car went away, a black car followed behind.
When he arrived home, he got off of his car. Not far away, a person got off from the following car.
In the darkness, Adrian's alert eyes darkened.
"Come out!"
"It's me."
A person emerged from the shadows. It was
Lennon, whom he had not showed up for a very long time.
"What's the matter?" Adrian's look was serious, and his tone contained a hint of impatience.
"Adrian, I'm broke."
Lennon looked at Adrian, who kept smoking the cigarette with a pair of dim eyes.
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Adrian, I can't be as lucky as I was last time. Now that I have nothing left, can you let me see Aleigha?"
"See Aleigha?"
A mocking glint appeared in Adrian's eyes, and he said indifferently, "What makes you think you can come beg me?"
"Adrian, don't go too far. I just want to see Aleigha."
Lennon's anger was ignited by Adrian's arrogance, which Lennon hated the most.
Seeing that he was getting angry, Adrian took a look at his watch, "It was already 3 am."
"Please!"
Lennon implored in an ignoble way.
"I don't allow anyone to disturb Aleigha at this time. If you insist on doing so, you may end up worse than you think."
After speaking, Adrian turned around and left.
Lennon was left behind. He stood alone in the darkness, only the unextinguished cigarette butt in his hand still giving out flickering light.
In the hospital.
Aleigha was not fully asleep. She felt that someone was beside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw a ferocious face covered with scars.
"You're awake?"
Aleigha frowned, and her face darkened.
"Surprised, isn't it? It's normal for you to be surprised to see I'm like this."
"Should I call you Leona or Kendal?" Aleigha was not afraid at all, instead, her tone sounded quite mocking.
"Look at you, you' re poor too. How dare you to mock me?" Leona was very dissatisfied with Aleigha's tone.
The scars made her even crazier.
After escaping from Lennon, she hid everywhere and finally got rid of him. She didn't know that Aleigha was sent to the hospital because of a car accident until she watched the news of that day.
She had been happy for many days because of this news. Later, she was surprisingly being informed that Aleigha wasn't dead. Having been waiting at the hospital for many days, finally she caught the opportunity to enter the ward tonight.
"Am I mocking? I thought I always speak in that way, isn't it?"
Even if lying on the bed and unable to move, Aleigha still looked calm.
"Shut up, you b*tch. If it weren't for you, how could I have become like this? Give my Adrian to me, bitch!"
Leona suddenly screamed, kept walking around in the ward and muttering.
Her scream drew the attention of the people outside.
Mill was the first one to rush in at an unbelievably fast speed.
Leona's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't even judge what the comer rushed in to do.
"Bang!" The door of the ward was pushed open, and Leona stood by the door.
The huge force knocked her down, and her head fell heavily to the ground.
"Miss Gardner, are you alright?"
Mill nervously rushed to Aleigha.
Fortunately, he rushed in time, otherwise, what happened next was really unimaginable.
"It's all right. Thank you for coming in time." Aleigha saw it was Mill rushing in, she smiled.
Her smiling eyes looked like stars.
Mill was slightly stunned and hurriedly looked at the woman on the ground.
The force that knocked her was strong. Now Leona lay on the ground quietly with blood flowing out from her head.
"Take her to the emergency room."
Mill went forward to test Leona's breath. Fortunately, she was alive.
"You guys go and explain tonight's matter to Mr. Xiao."
Because of their negligence, Leona broke in. Naturally, as Aleigha's guards, they should be punished.
Mill had been always serious, let alone dealing with such vicious events.
"Mill, forget it, don't tell Adrian about this."
Aleigha said in a low voice while gently smiling.
Mill's brows twisted, and he dared not to look at Aleigha. With one relook, he was afraid that he
d be drunk by her eyes.
Seeing he avoided her eyes, a person appeared in Aleigha's mind. In her memory, a man's figure became more and more clear.
"Freddie."
Aleigha let out a soft shouting, and her eyes were all about anticipation.
Mill pretended to not hear her calling. He didn't look back but took out his phone and called Adrian.
Around ten minutes later, Adrian rushed over.
He arrived at the ward quickly. Before Mill spoke, the man who stood by the door took Adrian's firm punch.
"The guard tonight are fired!"
When passing by Mill, Adrian subconsciously glanced at him and said, "Thank you."
"It's my duty to protect Miss Gardner."
Mill looked straight ahead and said with a flat voice.
Sometimes, Adrian would also suspect that if Mill was Freddie.
However, Freddie was a sunny boy and definitely wasn't as serious as
MI.
BUMS
"It's getting late. You can go home. I'm here today."
At the moment when Adrian pushed the door open, he didn't see Mill's face turned relaxed.
Aleigha lost her drowsiness and stared at the ceiling.
"Are you frightened?"
Adrian asked with his eyes filled with worry.
"How come? Leona won't scare me. No, she should be called Kendal."
"It's time to put an end to it. We can't let go of all those scumbags."
