Chapter 1354
Later, Adrian protected Aleigha personally every day, and the guarding staff was doubled.
In the early morning, Adrian walked to the window and stretched himself.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
His eyes were heavy. Having been staying up late for many days caused him to feel uncomfortable.
Aleigha was sleeping soundly, and her face carried a slight but sweet smile.
As he looked at her, Adrian couldn't help lowering his head to kiss her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly because of the kiss.
"Little thing!"
Adrian chuckled and muttered.
There was a knock on the door.
Hearing this, Adrian's face returned cold.
He opened the door. Mill stood outside, looking calm and expressionless.
"Mr. Xiao, something is happening."
"Who again?" Adrian's patience toward these troubles had reached to its limit.
"It's Lennon."
Mill glanced at the ward. As he saw Aleigha was fine, he calmed down.
Adrian noticed his emotional gaze, but he didn't say anything.
"I'll go down and have a look. You'll watch her."
Mill nodded.
Before leaving, Adrian looked at Aleigha one more time, then he left the ward.
Outside the hospital's gate, Lennon, who dressed shabbily, stood there awkwardly. He held a gun, and the gun muzzle was pointed at a person's head. The hospital was bustling with people in the morning. Someone saw Lennon's crazy behavior and called the police.
Adrian walked over in the morning sunshine. Being covered by the golden light, he was as if gilded.
And his handsome face turned much more dazzlingly brighter.
"Lennon!"
Adrian was helpless.
Hearing the calling, Lennon's body trembled. After a while, he slowly turned around.
"Why? Why don't you let me see Aleigha? That's all I want."
Looking at Adrian, Lennon burst into a cry. One of his hands clutched the hostage's neck, the other one held the gun. He would probably shoot at any time. "How can you see Aleigha in this way? Look at yourself."
In Adrian's memory, Lennon used to be a gentle and refined man with outstanding temperament. He was already superior at a young age.
Although he was not comparable to the figures of A City, looking around, his achievement was still hard to exceed.
Even Lennon couldn't remember since when he had become like this.
No more clean smiles appeared on his pretty face, only depression and tiredness.
"It's all because of you!"
Lennon roared in rage, and he kept tightening his wrist.
The hostage was a thin boy around 17 or 18 years old. He was caught by Lennon, and his eyes went dull. He looked pretty frightened.
"Do you want me to report to you what your family has done? Don't blame your incompetence on me."
Adrian lit up a cigarette. The smoke blurred his face which was cold and calm as ever.
"Ah! Adrian!"
Lennon's mind was full of chaos. He had no idea why he came to the hospital to make such a fuss.
And he didn't even know why he became like this.
He looked at Adrian blankly. At this moment, except for putting him to death, no more ideas occupied Lennon's head.
In the blink of an eye, the obsession turned into action. Lennon pushed away the hostage and aimed at Adrian with his gun.
"Bang!" With a huge sound, countless people cried out in shock.
Lennon found Adrian was still standing upright without injuries. He was slightly stunned.
Soon, the pain from his belly stimulated him. As looking down, Lennon saw blood was flowing out.
"Catch him!"
The police rushed over and suppressed the stunned Lennon.
"Take him to the emergency room first."
The leader of the policemen said loudly.
Because it happened at the hospital, the medical staff rushed out and took Lennon, who lay blood right away into the emergency room.
Adrian flicked off the cigarette butt and turned around emotionlessly.
This was life. Sometimes, the death came without informing you.
Legal sentence was waiting ahead for Lennon.
Back in the ward, Aleigha woke up.
"Lennon?"
As soon as Adrian entered the room, she asked.
Adrian nodded.
"Alas..."
Aleigha was grateful for Lennon. She was sad to know that he had become like this.
"He asked for it. He should have anticipated this ending."
As they were talking, the nurse pushed the door open and came in.
"Miss Gardner recovered well. Today we can try to sit up."
The nurse said with smiles. She still flushed to see Adrian again.
"Okay."
Adrian stepped forward and took off Aleigha's outer clothes skillfully. He helped the nurse change the
medicine, and he would also lean her body by the way.
At the end of the set of procedures, sweats covered Adrian's forehead.
"We can bring our baby back today."
As he combed Aleigha's hair, Adrian whispered softly by her ear.
"Adrian, you don't like babies, do you?"
Ever since Aleigha went through the car accident, he seldom mentioned the baby to her. Naturally, she didn't think Adrian like babies so much. "Why do you think so?"
"You made me think so. Did I misunderstand you?"
Adrian didn't reply. He gently let go of her long hair and got up to get water for her.
Looking at his expressionless face, Aleigha's heart ached. It seemed that Adrian had become more silent since she had woken up.
Sometimes, she could even feel his disappointment.
"Adrian, is anything bothering you?"
Aleigha rarely probed Adrian about his annoyance as he would usually tell her if he had.
But this time, she was anxious to be excluded by his news.
"Aleigha, it's not I don't like baby, it's just..."
Adrian's brows knitted together when he sighed. "It's because of the baby, I nearly lost you. she always reminded me of the scene that day."
The first few days after the accident
were Adrian's forever nightmare.

his bone was burning on fire.

"Don't say that. She is our baby. No matter what happened, even if I died, our baby would accompany you. She is my continuation."
"You're not allowed to say that anymore, not allowed."
Adrian said and looked at her. His gaze was unusually serious.
"Okay, okay. I don't say that anymore. Please bring our little princess back."
Seeing smiles going back to Aleigha's face, Adrian's annoyance dissipated right away.
"Don't worry."
After the baby was brought back, Adrian brought Aleigha back home.
There were doctors and nurses coming to check Aleigha's injuries every day, because Adrian always worried that Aleigha was not safe to
be nursed in the hospital.
Jaidyn sat quietly in his office. He had seen what happened at the hospital from the morning news.
He wanted to go to the hospital, but in the end, he forced himself to calm down, then he sat there for five hours.
In the afternoon, a burst of noise sounded outside the office. When Jaidyn went out to check, he saw a person sitting coldly on a desk.
