True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1555

It was almost midnight. Ernest was lying on the bed with his phone in hand. When Ernest got bored of scrolling through his Facebook, he arrived at Leah's profile.

He returned to Northern City to attend Lawrence's funeral. Should he go and meet Leah?

In the midst of hesitation, he received a WhatsApp message from Leah.

Ernest was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to receive Leah's message as soon as he thought of her.

Ernest immediately tapped on the message and saw only six words, "Condolences to you and your family."

Ernest was once again shocked because he had not expected Leah to have heard of it. It seemed that Lawrence's death was a major event in Northern City.

Everyone in the circle was well aware of the news, and Leah might have seen the news of Lawrence's death from news channels or Facebook posts.

Ernest hadn't expected Leah to send him a message late at night. He was slightly stunned before he replied, "Thank you, it's late. Why haven't you slept yet?"

In fact, the two of them had not contacted each other since the last message. Ernest had been looking forward to hearing from Leah again, but she had never once texted him.

Leah didn't seem to be keen on contacting him, which gave Ernest second thoughts. She might not have the same feelings towards Ernest.

There were times when they were uncertain about each other's thoughts, and they dared not probe too deeply into it. They would stay polite to each other and keep it professional.

That night, at such a special time, Leah had sent him a message, which indeed surprised Ernest and had him feel moved.

Leah then sent another message. "I'm not feeling well. I caught a cold. I'm taking a drip at the hospital! That's why my message was late. Take care."

After seeing the message, Ernest was stunned as he instantly dialled her number.

When the phone rang, Leah was still in the ward. She hurriedly picked it up. "Why did you call me?"

Leah's voice sounded a little hoarse. She seemed to be very ill.

Ernest's voice had a faint trace of unnoticeable panic. "How did you get so sick? Which hospital are you in? Are you alone? Is anyone accompanying you?"

"I caught a cold. It's slightly serious this time," Leah told the person on the other end of the phone. "I'm alone. I wanted to send you a message or call you earlier, but I was very sick. I just got a little better. I thought you were asleep, but it turns out that you're still awake. I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest."

"No, I'm not in bed," Ernest said in a low voice.

"That's good." Leah went on in a more serious manner, "Ernest, my condolences. Take care of yourself, alright?"

Her voice had Ernest sigh in his heart. Leah was sick, yet she was worried about him.

Ernest's heart tensed, and he felt complicated feelings surging. While frowning, he asked, "Are you superstitious, Leah?"

Leah was stunned and puzzled at the same time as she asked, "I don't know what superstitions you're referring to?"

"For example, I just attended a funeral. If I visit you tonight, are you okay with it?" Ernest was a little excited and expectant.

Leah was left dumbfounded.

She wasn't superstitious.

However, she didn't expect Ernest would want to meet her. Leah was so excited that she forgot to respond for a moment.

Ernest thought that her silence meant she was unwilling to have him come over, so he explained, "If you aren't superstitious, I can go to the hospital and keep you company. But if you're concerned, I can get someone to accompany you. In short, you can't stay in the hospital all by yourself at this hour."

Leah hurriedly came back to her senses and informed Ernest, "I'm not superstitious! It's too late. Will that disturb your rest?"

"I don't need to rest. I'll head straight to the hospital right now." Ernest put his coat on and was about to head out. His tone was insistent. As long as Leah was not superstitious, he would not let her stay in the hospital all alone in the middle of the night.

Leah was a little worried. "Uh, Ernest, my cold is actually quite serious. If you come, I'm afraid you'll catch it too."

Ernest replied, "It doesn't matter, I don't get sick easily. If you have the ability to make me catch a cold, it means that your sickness this time around is strong indeed. But bring it on."

With that, he let out a small chuckle and seemed relaxed. "Wait for me. I will be there soon. Send me your location."
