Chapter 480

With Elijah and Daniel around, it didn't take them long to complete the entire procedure. Since they hadalready found a place to bury Leanna's mother, her body was taken there right away after all theexaminations were done. When they left, Leanna gave Louis a call and sent him the address of theplace where their mother was buried. Then, she leaned against the car window and set her eyesoutside quietly.

"Are you alright, Leanna?" Zoe asked softly.

Leanna responded with a chuckle. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. In fact, I've gotten used to this."

Zoe let out a sigh and patted Leanna's shoulder, not knowing what to say. A few moments later, the carfinally came to a stop. At the same time, Leanna pulled herself together and took a deep breath. Justwhen she extended her arm to reach out for the door, someone opened it from the outside. When shelooked up, she saw a familiar face and asked, "What brings you here?"

Aidan bent over and held Leanna's hand that was hanging in the air. "How can I not be here? This isimportant."

Leanna pursed her lips and entered the car. Not long after she spoke to Daniel over the phone, shesent Aidan a message and told him that she was on her way to the lab. However, since he hadn'treplied, she thought he was in the middle of his meeting, only to be surprised when she saw him there.

Upon getting out of the car, she saw Mr. Jackson standing not far away in a preoccupied manner with awalking stick in his hand. Hmm, I guess Daniel must have told him about that, Leanna thought to

herself after seeing no one else around her.

Knowing what Leanna had in her mind, Aidan merely wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let'sgo."

A few moments later, it started drizzling as Leanna stood in front of a headstone with her head keptdown. At the same time, Aidan was standing next to her with an umbrella over their heads. Soon, Louisarrived, but instead of walking up to them, he chose to watch from afar in silence, his emotionlessexpression even more unfathomable with the chilly mist.

Although many guests came to pay their respects, neither of them said a single word throughout theburial. It was only until it was over that Mr. Jackson sighed and said, "After all those years, Sandra cannow finally rest in peace."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems," Aidan responded with a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Jackson looked at the man with a pair of furrowed brows.

"What happened after the explosion back then? Why didn't she ask for help throughout the time shewas staying there? Why did she marry Jethro? Also, why did her husband kill her later? None of ushere has answers to any of the questions I just mentioned."

Mr. Jackson knitted his eyebrows even more while holding his walking stick after hearing Aidan, yet hedidn't know what to say. Aidan then added, "Well, I suppose the only person who has all the answers isJethro."

"But we've tried everything we could. Even if he agrees to talk, I doubt anything that comes out of hismouth is true," Daniel said.

"That's because he knows he is still too useful to be killed," Aidan replied.

"Can you make him talk, then?"

"No."

While the crowd was speechless, Leanna pulled Aidan's sleeve as a gesture to tell him to stop talking.

Aidan then held the lady's hand and said, "My point is to remind all of us here that the situation is notas simple as it seems. Because of that, none of us here should let our guard down."

Meanwhile, Elijah finally said something after a few moments of silence. "Leroy is to blame for all thechaos that happened. Although he's gone into hiding, I believe it's only a matter of time before we replacehim. So, Mr. Pearson, I wonder…"

"Well, it wouldn't be much of a problem if Leroy was the one behind all this."

"Are you saying Leroy had someone else to help him back then?" Mr. Jackson asked.

"I was just venturing a guess. After all, you guys are the people who know him well, yet you have notmanaged to catch him even though your men have been dispatched to all the places he might haveshown up. You even instructed them to spy on him, so there's no way Leroy could have escapedunless someone has been helping him."

"We've thought about that as well, but we didn't replace anything useful after investigating every singleperson who was suspected to be related to him," Mr. Jackson said.

"He knew you guys were hunting for him, so he wouldn't show up at any of the places you could thinkof."

Upon hearing that, Daniel asked, "So, are you saying the person who's helping Leroy doesn't appear tobe related to him? Instead, whoever has been helping him might have been coerced to do so, and thiscould be related to the incident that happened 20 years ago. Is that what you're saying?"

"Possibly." Without any concrete evidence, Aidan's deduction remained unproven. Thus, everyone elsewent silent once again.

Soon, Leanna looked at Aidan and said, "There is a place I'd like to go. Come with me, would you?"

"Sure." Aidan looked back at her and gave an affirmative reply.

Leanna then politely bowed to Mr. Jackson and said goodbye to him, whereupon she walked up toLouis and Zoe. "Let's go, guys."

While Louis nodded and took one last glance at the headstone before leaving, Zoe, who turned aroundto walk away, happened to meet Daniel's eyes. In that instant, she somehow knitted her eyebrowsunnaturally and quickly made her way out of there. When the few of them found themselves outside thebuilding, Leanna suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Zoe, there is a place I need to go to. Would youplease take Louis back to where he needs to be?"

"Wait, aren't you going to meet Jethro now?" Louis asked right after Zoe replied affirmatively.

"I know he is probably not going to tell me the truth, but I'm still going to give it a shot, considering howserious things have become."

"I'll come with you."

"No, I think it's better that you stay behind."

"But…" Louis knitted his eyebrows.

"Aidan will be with me, so you should go back to school," Leanna replied.

Just when Louis was about to say something, Zoe seized his arm and took him to the car. "Listen toyour sister and stay out of this matter. Jethro is an… Nothing good will ever come out of his mouth,which is all the more reason you shouldn't be there." Despite the disdain she had for Jethro'sunforgivable actions, Zoe restrained herself from calling him an idiot since he was Louis' father.

"Don't worry about me. I'm just going to ask a few questions there. I'll leave if I can't get anything usefulout of it." Leanna smiled at her brother.

It was then that Louis pursed his lips and reluctantly walked toward the car as Zoe waved her hand atLeanna. "Bye, Nana. We'll get going now."

"Alright." Leanna nodded.

The few of them left by taking the car with which Leanna came to the lab. As soon as they were gone,Aidan held Leanna's hand. "Let's go."

When they entered the car, Leanna asked, "You must have discovered something about that incident,right?"

"Hm?"

"You never mentioned anything about what you said before today. You must've found out aboutsomething to say that, right?"

With his hands on the steering wheel, Aidan replied calmly, "I don't know anything, but…"

"But what?" Leanna pressed on with her question.

"But there is one thing that caught my attention." Aidan squinted and added coldly, "The year in whichthe tragedy befell the Crossley Family was also the year that Justin was caught in the accident. Guesswhat? In that same year, I was taken back to the Pearson Family." Upon hearing the man's words,Leanna's eyes widened in disbelief and gazed at him in surprise.
