Chapter 567

By the time Leanna returned to the backyard, Naomi had already woken up.

Meanwhile, Louis was holding the little guy, who was fast asleep, while staring at Jonathan.

Leanna walked over and greeted, "Ms. Fletcher."

Naomi was stunned for a moment when she saw Leanna and blinked her eyes blearily. She wasprobably not expecting to see Leanna here.

"Leanna..."

"How are you feeling?" Leanna inquired.

Naomi nodded. "Just a little dizzy. Nothing else. You..."

"Aidan is in the front yard, and Sienna is dead. She committed suicide."

When Naomi was faced with that information the moment she woke up, she blinked dazedly. The newseventually registered in her mind, and she didn't know what to say to that.

Louis frowned in displeasure. "She committed suicide? Tsk. For a vile woman, she really got off lucky."

Leanna was rather tired, so when she noticed that the rain was getting heavier, she didn't want to staythere any longer. "Ms. Fletcher, I'm leaving now. They will send you back later."

Naomi stood up and asked, "Where are you going, Leanna?"

"I'm… Going to replace a place to stay for now," Leanna said as she looked at the baby beside her. "Thankyou for taking care of him all this while, Ms. Fletcher."

Naomi instantly understood what was happening as that day had finally arrived.

She and Aidan had been hiding the truth from Leanna for so long, so she didn't have the right to askLeanna and her child to stay any longer.

Leanna took a step forward, but Jonathan quickly caught up to her. "Miss McKinney, let me send youoff."

She looked at him expressionlessly and spoke flatly, "No, thanks."

"Miss McKinney—"

"I hope you won't try to replace out where I'm staying or whom I'm seeing. We should at least try and treateach other with some basic respect. Moreover, I don't want to see any of you now."

Jonathan didn't know what to say in response.

Frankly, it sounded more like she was talking to Aidan than him. She took the child from Louis and heldhim in her arms.

Elijah was waiting nearby and opened the car door for her.

Louis nodded slightly at Naomi and left soon enough.

As they watched the black car disappear into the rain, Jonathan asked, "Madam Fletcher, what shouldwe do now?"

Naomi sighed. "Let's give her some time."

After a pause, she asked, "What about Celia? Did she make it?"

Jonathan replied, "She's dead."

She stiffened in shock. "Dead?"

He nodded. "She tried to escape from the Pearsons to inform us about this but was caught anddragged back..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but she understood what he wanted to say. She closed her eyes as she

felt a wave of exhaustion and resignation overwhelming her.

At that moment, Keaton hurried over. "Madam Fletcher, let me send you home."

"What about Aidan?"

"President Pearson has passed out in the front yard, and President Woodley has taken him to thehospital now."

Naomi was shocked. "He passed out?"

Keaton said, "President Pearson was shot in the arm earlier, and he has lost a lot of blood."

"Take me to the hospital."

This night was destined to be chaotic.

Meanwhile, Leanna watched the baby in her arms, chewing on his fingers as a smile slowly formed onher lips.

Fortunately, she made it just in time.

She almost watched the baby die in front of her. She had finally fulfilled her duty as a mother.

Just then, Louis handed her a tissue.

"What's wrong?" Leanna asked in confusion.

"Wipe your tears," he murmured.

She touched her face and realized that her face was soaked in tears while deep in thought.

"If you're worried about Aidan, go and visit him," Louis suggested.

Leanna wiped away her tears, but the tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

"I'm not a doctor. What's the use of seeing him?" she replied calmly.

When Aidan hugged her, she heard him grunt in pain. She knew he was injured, but she didn't knowwhere he was injured.

"Do you hate him?" asked Louis.

Leanna didn't answer. Instead, she said to Elijah, who was behind the wheel, "Just replace a hotel anddrop us off there."

Elijah pursed his lips and softly agreed.

After that, no one spoke in the car as the silence stretched on.

Half an hour later, the black sedan slowly pulled into a high-end residential basement.

He led them upstairs and opened the room. "It's raining now, so it's inconvenient to go to a hotel. Thisis where William stayed before. You will be safe here. If you don't want to stay here, I will replace another

place for you tomorrow."

Leanna didn't say anything else and merely thanked him.

Elijah continued, "I have arranged for baby items to be delivered here. They should arrive soon."

"Okay." She nodded.

Then, he looked at Louis and said, "I'll leave you here to keep Leanna company."

"I'll walk you downstairs," Louis replied.

After they left, Leanna held the baby and found a bedroom to gently put him to bed.

The baby had grabbed onto the buttons on her shirt at some point and refused to let go as hewhimpered.

She gently patted him until he fell asleep. Then, she only left the bedroom once she was certain hewouldn't be waking up any time soon.

Louis was sitting on the couch, and the items Elijah had arranged for had already been stacked up inthe living room during her absence.

"It's late. You should go to bed," said Leanna.

Louis furrowed her brows as he muttered hesitantly, "There's something I haven't told you yet."

She froze mid-stride as she remembered something. After a few seconds, she inquired, "You knew?"

"I thought he was having an affair, so I followed him," Louis explained.

She remained composed and sat across from him. "And then?"

"He didn't intend to keep it from you. When the baby was born, he was very frail. The hospital wouldnotify him that the baby was in critical condition almost all the time. It didn't help that he wouldconstantly fall ill. So, Aidan didn't want you to have hope and then face disappointment," Louisanswered.

"Did he tell you this?" Leanna asked.

Louis paused for a moment before nodding.

"Does the child still get sick often?" she asked.

"It seems like he hasn't been sick in the past few months. He only gets a cold or fever occasionally, butthe doctor says it's normal," he replied.

"Why didn't he tell me, then?" she asked calmly.

Louis wanted to respond but couldn't replace the right words.

Finally, Leanna said, "I know what you mean, and you don't have to explain on his behalf. I havequestioned him countless times regarding this matter. Yet, he would use various ways to deceive meevery single time. I could never get an answer or the truth from him."

"But—"

"I have given him several opportunities to come clean." Finally, she inhaled deeply, trying to control heremotions. "Do you know that if I hadn't gone there today or been a step late, that nanny would havesuffocated this child, my child, to death! You said he didn't want me to have hope and facedisappointment again, but what about now? If this child had died there today, was he planning to hide itfrom me forever and pretend that the child died in the car accident?"
