Chapter 603


    Chapter 603 I Have a Condition Too


    After some thought, Waylen said earnestly, "You have no other choice now other than to believe me


    since I''m the only one who can cure him."


    At that, Leanna pursed her lips lightly and her grip on the baby''s cot tightened.


    "I know that you find it difficult to ept everything that has happened recently. However, you should


    be clear by now that there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings, and this includes the


    incident involving the nutrient injections—it was all their doing. If we wanted to harm your child, why


    would we even bother to bring him to Jamesdon and not just let him be in Highside?" he continued


    again.


    "Didn''t you all bring him here so that you can use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Aidan?" she


    asked.


    Waylen pondered for a second before eximing, "Yes, you''re right!"


    At once, Leanna was rendered speechless.


    Seeing her expression, he chuckled and lifted his hand. "I was simply kidding. That was a joke, but you


    should give what I said some serious thought."


    "I can trust you, but I have a question here," she said.


    "Go ahead."


    "What do you all have to do with Aidan?"


    Waylen was taken aback, looking a little surprised that she would ask such a question.


    Leanna slowly spoke up as she continued, "As L said, someone did frame and me everything


    on all of you. So, why you? Why is it Jamesdon, a ce thousands of miles away from Highside?"


    "Well…"


    "I can trust you and leave the child here, provided that you can answer my question."


    After clearing his throat, he responded sincerely, "I''ve been wondering about this too. Perhaps it''s


    because I''m so outstanding that some people are jealous of me."


    Leanna averted her gaze upon hearing his reply. "I''m tired now. You can just leave."


    Seeing that she wanted to drive him away, Waylen hastily responded, "Come on… The situation is


    really getting out of hand. If you don''t agree, I''ll be medter. If I get med, I''ll be in a bad mood


    and won''t have the motivation to treat the child."


    However, she remained unmoved.


    Just when he was at a loss, the door of the lounge was pushed open again. Following that, L


    walked in.


    Waylen immediately stood up.


    Casting a nce at Waylen, Lined, "How ipetent you are."


    "I''m not good at dealing with women, but you insisted on sending me here anyway," Waylen replied.


    After speaking, he immediately slipped out of the area.


    "I can answer the question you asked just now, but I have a condition too," L countered her


    words.


    Looking at L, Leanna hesitated for a moment as though she was thinking about it.


    However, he didn''t give her a chance to consider and continued, "Let''s make an oath on this child. You


    are not going to utter a single word about what I tell you tonight. Otherwise, his illness will never be


    cured."


    When she heard that, she frowned. "How dare—"


    "This is just the consequence if you break the promise. If you keep this secret, nothing will ever


    happen," he interjected.


    "Why should I make such a silly promise to you? No matter what the secret is, I will not use my child as


    a bet or a bargaining chip," she answered coldly.


    L raised his eyebrows nonchntly as he did not expect Leanna to say that.


    After a while, he borated, "It''s about something that happened twenty years ago. I don''t care how


    much information Aidan has obtained. It''s none of my business."


    Leanna was stunned. "Twenty years ago? How—"


    "I''ve said everything I need to say. It''s your call now."


    After he finished speaking, L didn''t stay any longer as he turned around and left.


    Looking at the closed door, she let out a long sigh.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    She had never anticipated that there would be a connection to the events that urred twenty years


    ago in Jamesdon.


    ording to Aidan, other people were helping Leroy behind the scenes twenty years ago.


    Perhaps these people had something to do with Justin''s car ident as well.


    However, L was only about ten years old back then, and he couldn''t n all of this.


    Could it be the Woodleys?


    Leanna initially came to Jamesdon to figure out the little guy''s illness and the connection between


    Jamesdon, the Pearsons, and Sienna. However, before she could even make sense of these things,


    the topic suddenly shifted to events from twenty years ago.


    If the explosion and the car ident twenty years ago were caused by the Woodleys, then they would


    be enemies with the Pearsons, including Sienna. So why would the Woodleys help Sienna?


    However, if everything was not their doing, what was their role in these incidents? Why did those


    people pin all the evidence on the Woodleys?


    At once, Leanna felt that her head was going to explode.


    She couldn''t reason clearly orprehend anything at all.


    As she rubbed her temples, she felt her thoughtsing to a halt.


    However, what Waylen said made sense to her. If they really intended to harm the child, why would


    they bother to bring him from Highside to Jamesdon?


    Jamesdon was the territory of the Woodleys. Even if Aidan wanted toe over, there was a limit to


    what he could do here. At most, he could just stay here for a while. What was more, he couldn''t just


    neglect the affairs of Highside.


    He would probably leave after a short while.


    Therefore, the idea of using the child to threaten him was invalid.


    More importantly, L seemed unwilling to engage in a direct conflict with him.


    Otherwise, L wouldn''t keep avoiding Aidan.


    Furthermore, if they really wanted to separate her from the child, it would be effortless to do so.


    However, Waylen came to talk to her and reason with her instead.


    Afterward, L came over as well. Although he didn''t have anything good to say, it was obvious


    that he had no intention of hurting her or the little guy.


    Leanna rested her head on the baby''s cot and stared nkly.


    After a while, she closed her eyes and got up while looking at the peacefully sleeping baby.


    The rashes on his body hadpletely subsided, and he even had his usual amount of milk without


    throwing up tonight.


    He was doing much better now aspared to when they were in Highside.


    After a moment, she leaned down, lowered her head, and lightly kissed the little guy''s forehead. "Baby,


    I wille and pick you up soon."


    The sleeping baby''s mouth puckered as though he could sense her kiss.


    Seeing that, she felt her nose tingle as her eyes began to well up with tears. She had never been a


    qualified mother, neither in the past nor in the present.


    However, her wish was rather simple as she hoped that the little guy would survive and grow up


    healthy and safe.


    She was prepared to do whatever it took, even if it meant giving everything she had.


    …


    As Leanna left the lounge, Waylen was waiting for her outside. At the sight of Leanna, Waylen was


    surprised as he eximed, "Hey, did you just cry?"


    She turned her head away from him and sniffled. "No."


    "No? I can tell that your eyes are red… Hey, don''t worry. He will get better with me around," he


    assured.


    For a moment, she remained silent before asking, "When can I see him again?"


    "Well, I can''t say for sure, and you should ask L. However, I will let you know once there is


    progress in his treatment," he replied.


    "Do you mean by writing me a letter?" she asked numbly.


    Waylen patted his head upon realizing it as he said, "Oh, yeah. Let''s get your phone now. It''s in my


    car."
