Chapter 216

Chapter 216 How Did I Come Home Last Night? When Leanna woke up the next day, her body was weak and she could not prop herself up at all. As she opened her eyes and struggled to sit up, it felt like her whole world was spinning for a moment. Shaking her head vigorously, she ran to the bathroom as she held back her vomit. After a long time, she finally walked out of the bedroom while rubbing her stomach. She had an ashen look on her face that was coupled with clear discomfort.

Zoe heard the noise from outside and poked her head out of the kitchen. “Nana, you’re awake! I’m making you some hangover juice. It’ll be ready in a bit. Give me a minute.” Leanna pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down before resting her head weakly on the table. “Okay…” After a few minutes, Zoe came out with a glass of hangover juice. “Nana, quickly drink up.” As soon as Leanna picked up the glass, a nauseous feeling surged within her again. She retched several times, but nothing came out. Moments later, she managed to drink the hangover cure albeit with difficulty. Gosh, I’ve never felt this uncomfortable in a while. This is worse than when I had morning sickness. Once she finished her juice, she plopped herself onto the table again as if she was going back to sleep. Zoe sat across her with her hands on the table. Then, she tentatively pried, “Nana, do you remember how you got drunk last night?” As her eyes slowly widened, Leanna tried to recall last night’s event. “That b*stard told me to accompany him to a card game and told me to help with his deck of cards…” “Then?” Zoe immediately asked. “Then…” Leanna trailed off. The memories from last night gradually began to resurface in her mind. She recalled that she met Maya in the bathroom; when she returned, everyone else had left with only Aidan left. Initially, she wanted to leave, but he pressured her to drink by saying that she should at least show some ‘sincerity’. Leanna had no recollection of how many glasses she had and her mind went blank after that.

When she thought of this, she suddenly raised her head and asked, “Oh. How did I come home last night?” Zoe let out a cough and replied accordingly to what Aidan told her to say, “I picked you up.” This

made Leanna wonder. “Did I call you?” “No, the waiter did. He said that you were drunk and passed out in the private room. Then, he told me to come and pick you up.” Leanna rested her chin on her hand with a stunned look on her face as she stared ahead blankly. After a long while, she finally said, “Oh.” Then, Zoe slammed her hand onto the table angrily to sell the story further. “That b*stard is really something else! How could he leave you lying there alone in unconsciousness?! He has no conscience!” However, Leanna shook her head and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s better that way.” It seemed like Aidan’s reputation was really down the drain now. “Nana, are you not upset that that b*stard is treating you like this?” Zoe asked softly. Hearing this, Leanna smiled faintly. “It’s better for me to accept this than to drag things on until it gets worse.” Frankly speaking, what happened last night was nothing in comparison to their history. If they continued to be entangled like this, she could not guarantee what would happen in the future. Therefore, she was fairly satisfied with the outcome today. Then, she stood up from the table. “Give me a minute.

I’ll get changed and we can head to the studio.” “You can rest at home today and I’ll handle the studio alone. You probably won’t be able to work either, seeing how you are now,” Zoe offered. As soon as Leanna stood up, she felt her head spin again. This time, she did not try to put up a strong front as she nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll return to sleep, then.” “All right. There’s food in the fridge. You can heat it up when you’re awake later.” After Zoe left, Leanna slept until 4.00PM. When she sat up and rubbed her temples, she did not feel as dizzy as she was before. Once she took a hot shower, she felt a lot better. She stretched her neck as she walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen. After finishing her meal, she looked at her phone before finally deciding to drop by Louis’ school. He did not explain much about what happened when he met Daphne over their phone conversation, which made Leanna feel a little uneasy. Today was the last day of their final exam. Many students who were done with their papers left the schools in groups, dragging their suitcases behind them. Leanna approached one of them and learned that those from Louis’ major had finished their papers in the morning. The student also mentioned that he was at the cafe where he usually worked part-time. When she arrived there, the cafe owner informed her, “He went to the police station.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Police station?” Leanna was surprised to hear this. “Yeah. Just the day before yesterday, there was a high schooler that deliberately set up a trap. Fortunately, he was caught on the spot. Didn’t Louis tell you?” This made her frown as she shook her head and asked, “Which station?” After the cafe owner told her, she thanked him and quickly turned to leave. Although she knew that things would not be as simple and easy as Louis told her on the phone, she did not expect it to be so severe. When Leanna arrived at the hospital, Louis was just watching the surveillance clip with the police from that night. As soon as Louis saw her, he could not help but frown. “What are you doing here?” “You didn’t tell me that such a major thing happened, yet you dare to question why I’m here?” she retorted angrily. After saying that, she turned to the police and said, “I’m his sister and legal guardian.” Hearing this, the policeman nodded. “Then, let’s watch it together.” Subsequently, Leanna fixed her eyes on the screen in front of her. After watching the footage for a while, her brows knitted together. “Can you go back a little?” Once the tape was rewound, she requested again, “Can you zoom in a little?” Although the surrounding was dim and blurry, she could recognise the girl in the surveillance footage. “Do you know this person?” the cop asked. Louis also turned over to look at her when he heard the question. Leanna pursed her lips and answered slowly, “A few days ago, her mother kept coming by my place to cause a scene.” “Do you know anything about their identity?”

the cop asked again. “I called the cops. There should be a record of it.” After the cop checked with her regarding the police station she went to, they told the two siblings to stay put for a moment while they contacted the other police station for information. Once the cop left, Louis immediately asked, “When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” “You were having exams. It wasn’t a big deal,” Leanna answered. She never expected that he would be dragged into this mess as well. She then made a wild guess that the other party must have pre-planned this. However, since the middle-aged woman never showed up again, she brushed it off as her overthinking the matter up until now. Judging from this situation, it seemed like those people not only knew about her relationship with Louis, but they were also coming at them for some reason. No. To be precise, they were coming for her.
