Chapter 585 You Two Virions Should Stay Together

Leanna pushed the stroller and arrived at the household goods section with the little guy. She only managed to locate the aisle selling hair dryers after passing through two aisles. Then, she carefully went through the selections. In the end, she picked the one with the highest performance and was pretty durable.

Once she finished choosing the hair dryer, she went straight to the cashier and waited for Zoe and Daniel. When the two came over, they checked out and headed home.

After they returned home, Leanna bathed the little guy. It didn't take him long to fall fast asleep.

When she noticed his eyes had closed, she carefully placed him in the crib and tidied away all the toys in the living room.

It was already 10.00PM by the time Leanna finished doing all these chores.

Finally, she slumped against the couch as her eyes strayed to the unopened hair dryer not far away. She breathed out a sigh, got up, and went next door.

As she couldn't find the person whom she was looking for in the living room, she made her way toward the bedroom. She noticed that the door was ajar, so she asked quietly, "Aidan, are you asleep?"

"No."

"I picked up a blow dryer downstairs. It seems to be still working. I will put it in the bathroom for you."

There was silence…

Just as Leanna was about to leave, the bedroom door in front of her creaked open. Aidan stood before her as he said in a leisurely tone, "You are quite decisive."

Leanna didn't bat an eye and avoided answering when she heard that. Instead, she merely furrowed her brows and judged Aidan. "Why are you without clothes again?"

"I'm changing my dressing. It's cumbersome with my clothes on," he replied.

She instinctively shifted her gaze to his injured arm. The gauze was only half removed, revealing a vague sight of the mutilated injury. "Are you sure you can do it by yourself?" she wondered doubtfully.

With that, Aidan replied confidently, "Of course."

Leanna raised her head and looked at him in somewhat disbelief. Hold up! This b*stard is actually not sadfishing and giving me puppy eyes at a moment like this?!

Nonetheless, since he had already reassured her that he didn't need help, she didn't press the matter. "I'll be taking my leave then. Be careful not to get your wound wet if you want to take a bath."

Aidan hummed lightly and went on to say good night to her.

"I'm leaving."

Leanna returned to her place and looked at the familiar little guy in the crib. She hesitated for a while before she doubled back.

In the meantime, he was cleaning his wound in the bedroom. The area around the wound started becoming red and swollen due to inflammation, making the injured area look even more gruesome. Leanna has always been quite timid. She might have insomnia the entire night if she saw this. Or worse, it might even scar her.

Aidan hastily disinfected the wound, grabbed the gauze, bit one end with his teeth, and wrapped it around his arm a few times.

Just then, someone pushed open the bedroom door, causing him to look over. He was confused when he saw that it was Leanna. "Why are you back?"

However, she uttered nothing and simply sat next to him. Then, she stared at the gauze that he had just wrapped around his arm and questioned sharply, "What is this? Is that how you bandage a wound?"

As she spoke, she reached out to remove it.

He swiftly held her wrist, stopping her from continuing. "Just leave it this way."

Leanna reprimanded him slightly, "Leave it this way?! What if the infection gets worse? You might need to amputate your arm when that happens. Do you want that?"

As he couldn't find any reasons to rebuke her, he went silent.

In the end, she removed the gauze, disinfected his wound again, and reapplied the ointment.

She could feel as though her arm was somewhat aching the moment the cotton swab came into contact with Aidan's wound. It looked so painful, and she didn't even want to imagine how it actually felt.

Aidan kept staring at her all the while. Finally, he slowly lowered his head, and just when his lips were about to touch her forehead, her voice sounded once more, "I will end you if you pass on your cold to me."

He froze before he slowly backed away.

Leanna carefully wrapped the gauze around his arm after applying the ointment and inquired, "Have you taken your medicine?"

"Yeah."

Once she was done, she threw all the trash into the bin. "Alright. You can sleep now."

"I can't sleep. I already slept all day," Aidan mumbled.

She wasn't the least bit bothered as she rose to her feet. "Suit yourself then. I am going home to my bed."

So, Aidan grabbed her hand and begged, "Can't you stay here tonight?"

Leanna swiveled her head to look at him. "Do you think that's even possible?"

"Yes."

When she heard his firm answer, she felt a pulsating sensation between her eyebrows. Then, she took a deep breath and tried to tug her hand away, yet Aidan held on.

Thus, she snapped, "I'm only taking care of you today merely because you are sick. Can you be a little conscientious?"

"Then, why can't you sleep with me out of consideration that I am sick?"

Leanna looked at him with a poker face. However, it was evident that she was on the verge of getting angry.

Aidan naturally sensed this as he reluctantly withdrew his hand and released her. "Good night."

Once she was back in her apartment, she headed straight to shower. Afterward, she lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Why am I so tired even though I haven't done anything exhausting today?

Nonetheless, she refused to allow herself to be troubled by such thoughts as she rolled over, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Leanna's sleep was unfortunately interrupted when she woke up in a daze in the middle of the night. She sniffled and noticed with dismay that her nose was a little stuffy. To make matters worse, she was even feeling dizzy, so she panicked. Don't tell me that b*stard actually passed on his cold to me!

She leaped off the bed at that thought and quickly took some medicine. Unfortunately, she was still quite under the weather when she woke up the following day.

Hence, she took her temperature. Strange. I do not have a fever, yet I'm showing signs and symptoms of flu, such as nasal congestion, dizziness, and sneezing.

Later that day, when Maya entered with a jingle of her keys, she saw the little guy whimpering and rolling in the crib, trying to get up.

On the other hand, Leanna was sitting far away and looking at the little guy with a sleepy expression. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Maya couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness! What's going on with you?"

"I caught a cold, and I fear I will pass it on to him," Leanna explained.

"You were still fine yesterday. How did you—"

Something suddenly crossed Maya's mind halfway through her sentence. She shrugged her shoulders and went over to pick up the little guy.

After she fed him, she suggested, "Why don't you go to the next door? It's really easy to pass it on to him if you stay here."

Leanna slowly pushed herself off the couch and countered with a suggestion of her own, "I'll just go to the office."

"Isn't it Saturday? Why are you going to the office?"

It took her a few seconds for her brain to realize that it was Saturday. Then, she sat back down and mumbled, "Right…" Oh, no… My brain is turning into mush…

So, she grabbed some of her stuff and got up from the couch again. "I'll just go to the hospital. After that, I will find another place to stay for a while. I will only return once I'm feeling a little better."

Nonetheless, Maya thought she was being a bit extra. Thus, she asked while she placed the little guy on the carpet, "Why aren't you going next door?"

"I fear I will pass my cold on to Zoe."

"I'm referring to Aidan's place. It just so happened that he's caught a cold too. So, in my opinion, you two virions should stay together. Don't go out there and infect others with your sickness."

Leanna closed her eyes in exasperation. Suddenly, she felt the urge to sneeze. Hence, she swiftly pinched her nose as she answered nasally, "I'm leaving."

She didn't take Maya's suggestion and instead went to the hospital. According to the doctor, she was currently suffering from influenza and would recover after two to three days. But, of course, that was only if she took her medication as prescribed.

Given her current situation, the doctor also warned her that it was best for her not to have close contact with children, for children had weak immune systems and would get infected easily.

Leanna sneezed several times in a row after she stumbled out of the hospital. She was so sick that she

could feel that her body was failing her.

Yet, the sky chose to rain now out of all times. At this moment, one could say that she was in an utterly miserable and wretched state.

Just when Leanna planned to stay in a hotel until the rain stopped, she received a call from Zoe.

"Nana, did President Pearson pass out from a fever? I knocked on his door for a long time, but he didn't respond. Why don't you check things out?"

Leanna inhaled deeply before she answered in resignation, "Okay. I'm coming back now."

When she returned, she immediately pushed Aidan's bedroom door open and saw him sleeping on the bed. She walked over and touched his forehead. He's actually still burning? But didn't he take his medicine last night?

With that, Leanna took out her phone and gave Jonathan a call, asking him to pass her the number of Aidan's personal physician.
