Chapter 596 Wait for Me to Come Back

When she heard the sound coming from the door, Leanna looked over.

Aidan walked to her side and asked, "Has he eaten anything?"

"A little bit," she replied. "I consulted the doctor just now and was told that if he doesn't eat much at noon, he will need an IV."

After a few seconds, Aidan spoke up. "I'm going to Jamesdon this afternoon. I don't know when I'll be back."

As soon as she heard the word 'Jamesdon,' Leanna was taken aback and recalled what Freddie told her yesterday. All these recent events might have been caused by the people in Jamesdon.

Aidan chose to go there at this time. Does it mean…

"Is the child's illness related to the people in Jamesdon?" she asked.

Aidan nodded. He had been investigating the forces behind Sienna, and now it seemed highly likely that it was the Woodleys.

"I'll have Keaton protect you while I'm away. As for the Crossleys, Jimmy and Raymond are already in prison. The biggest threat is gone. I'll send Xavier to temporarily handle everything for you, and Freddie will be around too. You should stay in the hospital and don't go anywhere," he explained.

Leanna looked at the little guy tucked in bed and softly replied, "Got it." Her voice had no discernible emotion.

Seeing Leanna's expression, Aidan pulled her into his arms and whispered, "It's going to be alright. Wait for me to come back."

"Please be careful."

Aidan smiled and let her go. While no one was looking, he quickly kissed her on the lips before turning and striding away.

Leanna was rendered completely dumbfounded.

Turning her head, she saw the little guy sitting on the bed and looking at her with curiosity. He seemed to be energized and was waving his toy around while giggling.

She couldn't help but smile as she reached out to pinch his tiny nose.

After a while, Zoe came back and asked, "Nana, I saw Mr. Pearson leaving with a murderous look on his face. Where is he heading to?"

"Jamesdon," Leanna replied.

Zoe was puzzled. "For?"

"The situation is a bit complicated. I don't know how to explain it. Umm… The child's illness probably

has something to do with the people in Jamesdon."

"What? Jamesdon is so far away from Highside. Who the hell would do something like this to a little child?" Zoe exclaimed in shock.

Leanna pursed her lips, and her voice carried a hint of coldness. "It's likely related to Sienna."

She should have known that things wouldn't end with Sienna's death. Otherwise, Sienna wouldn't have killed herself so easily back then.

Zoe cursed passionately for a while before asking again, "What should we do now? When will Aidan come back? Will his return guarantee a cure for the little guy's illness?"

However, Leanna only shook her head and replied, "I have no idea. Let's just wait for now."

At the moment, there was nothing else they could do but wait.

Looking at the cute boy, Zoe sighed. "Speaking of which, I probably understand why Aidan acted that way after seeing you today."

"What do you mean?" Leanna was taken aback.

"He hid the truth from you when the little guy was just born," Zoe said. "Haven't you looked in the mirror? Your eyes have been red and swollen all day. When I came in just now and saw you experiencing a nightmare, I was almost scared to death."

Upon hearing that, Leanna hung her head and remained silent.

When her son was born, the situation was probably worse than it was now.

She had heard from Louis that her son was often rushed to the emergency room for treatment.

And he was so tiny back then.

Closing her eyes, Leanna felt her nose tingling.

Seeing her friend's reaction, Zoe immediately changed the topic. "By the way, I haven't heard you mention the little guy's name yet. What is his name?"

Leanna opened her eyes. After a moment of silence, she answered, "Noah."

This name was given to the little guy when she was in Highside.

With the name given, she hoped that he could grow up to be healthy and safe.

Unfortunately, things went contrary to her wishes.

Zoe repeated the name and complimented, "Noah. Noah Pearson. It's a nice name."

Leanna remained silent. Whatever it is.

After a few minutes, the door of the room was pushed open.

It was Daniel who had come.

"Miss McKinney, I've heard about everything that's happened these past few days. Is there anything I can help with?" Daniel asked.

Leanna pursed her lips. "Can you find any information related to Jamesdon?"

"Who? Do you mean Lachlan Woodley of Jamesdon?" Daniel asked.

Having no clue who the person was, Leanna inquired further, "Who is he?"

Daniel sat down next to Zoe. "Lachlan Woodley is the current head of the Woodleys in Jamesdon. Everyone is respectful toward him. I haven't met him before, but I heard that he's quite ruthless. He eats human flesh, drinks human blood, and gnaws on human bones."

At once, Leanna and Zoe's eyes widened.

Both of them instantly pictured a monstrous creature with a green face and sharp teeth sitting at a gloomy dining table while tearing a bloody bone.

Shuddered, Zoe forced a dry laugh and asked, "Is… he really that terrifying?"

"It's just a rumor. Anyway, he is not someone you wanna mess with." Daniel paused and asked again, "By the way, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"The Pearsons… or more precisely, Sienna, most probably has some connection with Jamesdon. People from Jamesdon are likely responsible for all the recent events, including the little guy's illness," Leanna explained.

At that, Daniel frowned. "Are you sure?"

Leanna nodded lightly. "Aidan is heading to Jamesdon. No matter to what extent they have done things, there is no doubt that they're involved."

"But from what I know, the people from the Woodleys never step out of Jamesdon or show any interest in anything unrelated to Jamesdon. If what you said is true, then why did they come all the way to Highside and cause so much trouble?" Daniel asked.

"Didn't Nana mention that they have some connection with Sienna? They most likely engaged in illicit activities together. Sienna has never liked Aidan. She even… Anyway, I don't think anyone who deals with Siena is a good person. They must have some ulterior motives," Zoe stated.

Leanna thought for a moment before asking, "Could it be that the Woodleys want to expand their influence and have set their target on the Pearsons to replace them?"

"That's the only reasonable explanation. Unless they want to eliminate the Pearsons and expand their power to Highside, Lachlan wouldn't want to offend Aidan, particularly not at this time," Daniel added.

"What do you mean?" Leanna was puzzled.

"The former head of the Woodleys passed away not long ago, and Lachlan is having trouble keeping his position," Daniel explained further.

Zoe asked curiously, "Why?"
