Chapter 75 Your Account Has Not Been Verified

When Leanna opened her eyes the next morning, there was no trace of Aidan in the room.

The servant, who was standing outside the room, knocked. “Madam, are you awake?”

Leanna massaged her temples and rose to her feet before she responded in a hoarse voice, “Yup.”

Then, the said servant quickly entered. “Madam, breakfast is ready. Do you want me to bring it up? Or, would you be coming down to eat it?”

“I’ll come down instead.”

“Alright,” the servant responded before she turned to make her way down.

Leanna sat on the bed once again to regain her strength. She could no longer wear the clothes that she had on her yesterday, so she had no choice but to head to her wardrobe to select a new attire.

As she sat on the table to wait for breakfast to be served, the servant brought out the dishes and noticed that Leanna looked weary. Then, she softly asked, “Madam, are you alright?”

Leanna nodded. “It’s nothing; I just feel a bit dizzy.”

The servant elaborated, “Before he left, Master instructed me to accompany you to the hospital for a visit. When do you intend to go, Madam?”

The word that Leanna hated to hear the most at the current moment was hospital. As she took the cutleries, it took her a while before she asked, “What about him?”

“Master has gone interstate. He’ll be back after a week at the earliest.”

“Interstate?”

Leanna had no idea what Aidan was up to. Didn’t he say that we were going to the hospital today? Or did he regard this hopsital visit as unimportant and simply found a reason to ask someone to accompany me there?

The servant nodded. “Yes, that’s correct. Master even added that I’ll be looking after you in his absence, Madam.”

Leanna pursed her lips in the silence. Being taken care of sounds nice.

This b*stard is really something. How could he be so heartless? It’s one thing for him not to want the child, but is it so difficult for him to be a tad bit responsible?

Throughout the entire time, he did not even pull his weight and even went on a business trip. Everything would be over once he returned and he would not be burdened by his conscience.

He is extremely evil.

Leanna swallowed the food that she chewed and slammed the cutlery in her hand.

The frightened servant gingerly asked, “Madam?”

After taking a deep breath, Leanna replied, “I’ve had enough.”

“Oh, wait for a while then. Let me gather everything and we’ll head to the hospital together.”

When Leanna peeked outside, she noticed that the driver was already waiting for her. There was no way of running from the inevitable.

“Okay.” She could only nod.

While they were on their way to the hospital, she remained silent as she had her gaze focused outside the car window.

From Aidan’s point, he did not do anything wrong because there was a difference between casually sleeping with someone and truly loving someone.

Leanna ran a temperature last night and for the weirdest reason, she felt that she still could mediate the sitaution. She originally intended to have a discussion with Aidan about this, but who would have expected him to not recognize her after wearing his pants? Moreover, in his effort to prevent her from regretting, he even split town not long after he woke up.

The servant was only aware that Aidan instructed her to accompany Leanna for a checkup without knowing how or where Leanna was uncomfortable. The moment they arrived at the hospital, she broke the silence. “Which department are we going to do, Madam?”

Leanna was already surveying her surroundings to plot an escape. Hearing the question, she responded, “Any department is fine.”

As the servant realized that Leanna had complained of a headache, she wondered whether it was the symptom of a cold and decided to head for the outpatient clinic.

After heading there and walking to the consultation room, Leanna suddenly stopped in her tracks and calmly explained, “I need to head to the toilet, so please wait for me here.”

The servant nodded. “Alright.”

The moment Leanna entered the toilet, she poked her head out the door to double check that she had not been followed. Once she was sure, she hurriedly left in another direction.

Leaving through the hospital’s back route, she hailed a cab and informed that she wanted to head to a specific apartment.

As she sat in the cab, she opened the window and breathed a sigh of relief.

She never expected that Aidan would be so unsuspecting as to not take precautions, which allowed her to escape with such ease. To him, I really don’t have any reason to keep the child.

But it’s also for the best. At least it gave me an opportunity to escape.

Now that she was back at her apartment, she packed her luggage and decided to skip town.

As a result, Leanna did not inform anyone of her next move. Then, she located a bus station that did not require any form of identity verification before she boarded a bus which had seen better days and hazily headed to another city.

Meanwhile, after waiting for thirty minutes, the servant finally realized that something was fishy. By the time she wanted to search for Leanna, Leanna was no longer in the hospital.

Aren’t we here to see a doctor? Is it such a taboo to seek treatment?

…

It was 9.00PM at Lachstein.

Aidan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows when he received a call from Highside. “Master, Madam is missing…”

The servant related the entire incident from the time she accompanied Leanna for her pregnancy checkup, Leanna’s excuse of wanting to use the toilet, up until the moment when she discovered that Leanna was missing.

He wasn’t surprised at the turn of events and merely responded, “I’m aware of it.”

After he hung up, he shoved the cell phone in his pocket and observed the quiet scenery through the window. No one knew what he was thinking.

Half an hour later, his phone vibrated. It was a text from Leanna on WhatsApp.

‘President Pearson, you mentioned that I don’t have a reason to keep this child, right? I admit, I don’t have a reason, but as a mother, I don’t have a valid reason to abort it either. I promise that I’ll take this child with me and disappear from your sight. I’ll also ensure that you would not be bothered by his presence.’

Aidan gazed at the message before replying, ‘Suit yourself.’

Not long after that, he received a notification.

‘Your account has not been verified by the other party. Please send a friend request. Once it has been approved by the other party, you may send a message.’

Aidan was speechless. The veins on his temple were throbbing as he closed his eyes to take a breath, after which he threw his phone onto the couch next to him. It was obvious that he had lost his temper.

A while later, his phone vibrated again. It was a text from Oscar.

‘The matter has been dealt with. Victor didn’t say anything because of your reputation, but it’s evident that he is not happy.’

‘Arrange for his son to head abroad. When I’m back, I will try to discuss our collaboration with him again.’

Oscar clicked his tongue as he forced the words that he wanted to say down his throat. Aidan was the type who would let things slide if nothing was mentioned. However, the more something was being commented on, the more extreme he would. Aidan had no choice because only such a method would prove that he did not have the hots for Leanna.

After a pause, he added, ‘Investigate Leanna’s current location. Send someone to protect her in secret and don’t let her find out.’

‘Okay, understood.’

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, after which Jonathan entered. “President Pearson.”

“What’s the matter?” Aidan asked as he kept his phone away.

Jonathan replied, “Old Master Pearson has asked for a directors’ meeting as he wants to have members of the Barnett Family on the board.”

Now was the period of seizing power and Aidan’s timely departure merely provided them with an excellent opportunity to overthrow him. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

An indifferent Aidan probed, “Has anyone agreed?”

“At the moment, three directors are supporting Old Master Pearson while the rest are observing the situation. Do we have to head back, President Pearson?”
