Chapter 856 People Should Live Longer

Aidan also knew all this, so he didn't say anything else.

Whoever told her not to have the baby would make her feel like a knife stabbing into her heart at that point.

She was already feeling bad enough because of that herself.

Aidan said to Leanna after he sent her to the studio, "I will have someone keep an eye on the new studio. Don't go there."

Leanna nodded. "Alright."

Aidan continued, "Keaton has been following around you to protect you. I guess you knew that."

"I know."

"He will be responsible for taking you home whenever I'm not around starting today. He can be reached at a stone's throw whether you need a car or company on foot."

Leanna answered, "Okay."

Aidan leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I know you don't like being followed, but bear with this for a few more months, okay?"

Leanna smiled. "I can do it. Don't worry."

She knew that Aidan had Keaton constantly protecting her all this time and had nothing to do with keeping Justin Pearson away from her at this point.

They both wanted the baby to be born safely without anything going wrong.

Then, Leanna said, "You should go to the company now. I need to start working too."

Aidan caressed her head. "Don't overwork yourself. Remember to take a break at noon."

Zoe showed up, looking surprised after Aidan had left. "I thought the Aidan I saw before had already gone beyond my understanding. I really didn't expect to see such a gentle side of him today. That's why people should live longer and widen their horizons in my opinion."

Leanna smiled as she looked at the drafts in front of her. "He's gentle when he's not agitated."

Zoe couldn't help but roll her eyes up before leaning over to rest on her desk. "Didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up today? What did the doctor say?"

Leanna paused for a moment and smiled. "The doctor said everything is fine. I should only continue to rest well."

Zoe said, "President Pearson is right. You should take a good rest. Let me handle everything for you from now on. I'll even run your errands."

Leanna replied, "I also need to move around more and exercise moderately. I can't just sit or lie down

all the time, or I'll become lazy."

Zoe also had experience in this regard. "That's true. Congratulations, Nana. You're finally pregnant."

Leanna raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Shall I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"Sure. Should I invite them?"

Leanna answered, "Of course, bring them along. Let me cook a meal for you all while I still don't suffer much with the pregnancy. I may not be able to smell fumes of cooking oil in the near future."

Zoe took out her phone following that. "I'll call Daphne if that's the case. Why don't you tell Louis about it?"

Leanna nodded, and she reminded, "Don't forget to tell Daniel too."

Zoe replied, "You know him. There's no chance that he will miss this."

...

In the car...

Aidan ordered, "Assign more personnel to follow Leanna in addition to the people with Keaton. Just stay behind and keep an eye on them."

Jonathan nodded, and he asked, "Are you worried that Young Master Justin will find out about Madam, President Pearson?"

Aidan closed his eyes and frowned slightly. "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."

"Don't worry, President Pearson. We have been keeping a close watch on Young Master Justin. He is fully engrossed in the New Coast project at the moment. Besides, I also took care of the news from last night, so he probably doesn't know that Madam is pregnant."

Jonathan continued, "I will arrange for more men to protect Madam well."

Aidan made an affirmative sound and dialed a number on his phone.

He said through the phone, "Tell Waylen Woodley to come over in three days."

Lachlan Woodley's voice was heard from the other end of the phone. "But the treatment hasn't been completed yet."

"There's no time. Tell him to come over right now. Leave the treatment to other doctors."

The plan and procedures of the treatment had been thoroughly improved until it was almost perfected. So, it shouldn't make a difference even if Waylen left now.

Lachlan asked, "Leanna is pregnant?"

Aidan replied, "Yes."

Lachlan then said, "I see."

...

Leanna and Zoe returned home early in the evening. Zoe held some pickles and asked while shopping at the supermarket, "Do you want more of these, Nana?"

Leanna replied, "Yes, please. But I've been eating them a lot these days, and the sour proved a bit too much for me."

Zoe, who had initially picked up eight bottles of pickles ended up putting a few back. She said, "Well, have less of them. Save them for when you feel nauseous."

In truth, Leanna was going to tell her that she couldn't resist having some when food was in front of her, but she feared that saying so would make Zoe stop her from buying. Hence, she held back her words.

Zoe suddenly thought of something as she filled the shopping cart with junk food. "Nana, could it be that you're having a baby boy since you've been craving sour food so much?"

Leanna replied, "I don't know, but I didn't crave sour food the last time I was pregnant."

Zoe nodded. "That's true. It's still too early to tell."

Keaton walked over to them just as Zoe was about to pick up the bags when they finished their shopping. "Let me handle these, Miss Hart."

Zoe said, "Alright, thanks."

Leanna went into the kitchen when they returned, and Zoe followed to help her wash the vegetables.

Leanna smiled. "I can handle this myself. You can sit outside."

Zoe replied, "No way. Your husband will kill me if he finds out that you handled the cooking even though you're pregnant while I sit outside."

The doorbell suddenly rang in the middle of their conversation, and Zoe ran over to open the door. It was Daphne.

Zoe looked behind her and asked, "Is Louis not here yet?"

Daphne awkwardly coughed a few times before looking away. Then, She answered stutteringly, "He... He probably hasn't finished class yet. So, I came straight here."

Zoe said, "Well, come in."

Daphne also went into the kitchen. "Is there anything I can help with?"

Leanna turned around and replied, "It's okay. You can rest outside."

Daphne said, "I know a friend who sells nutritional milk powder. Many celebrities bought from her when they were pregnant, and I brought a few cans for you to try. I'll bring more next time if it works well for you."

"Thank you," Leanna said.

Daphne awkwardly touched her nose as she said, "I've been eating at your place quite a few times,

and I always came empty-handed."

Zoe couldn't help but sigh. "Me too. I always come with just my empty belly."

Daphne asked, "Doesn't Daniel always bring wine every time he's here?"

"..." Zoe was left speechless for a second.

Then, she retorted, "Well, you don't have to feel so embarrassed. Louis is Nana's younger brother after all." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"..." Daphne picked up the meaning behind her words, and she remained silent.

Zoe put her arm around Daphne's shoulder after that. "Forget it. Let's not tease each other anymore."

Daphne replied with a smile, "Let's go inside and help."

The two of them went into the kitchen following that. Each of them stood on either side of Leanna.
