    Chapter 596 Wait for Me to Come Back


    When she heard the sounding 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 rted 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 exined.


    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 toe 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 renderedpletely 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 bitplicated. I don’t know how to exin 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 eximed in shock.


    When she heard the sounding from the door, Leanna looked over.


    Leanna pursed her lips, and her voice carried a hint of coldness. “It’s likely rted 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 andplimented, “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 hade.


    “Miss McKinney, I’ve heard about everything that’s happened these Is there anything I can help with?”


    Daniel asked.


    Leanna pursed her lips. “Can you find any information rted to Jamesdon?”


    “Who? Do you mean L Woodley of Jamesdon?” Daniel asked.


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


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


    Daniel sat down next to Zoe. “L 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 dryugh 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 exined.


    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 unrted to Jamesdon. If what you said is true, then why did theye 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 rece them?”


    “That’s the only reasonable exnation. Unless they want to eliminate the Pearsons and expand their


    power to Highside, L wouldn’t want to offend Aidan, particrly 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 L is having trouble keeping


    his position,” Daniel exined further.


    Zoe asked curiously, “Why?”
