Chapter 604 Awake, But Not Completely

After giving back her phone, Waylen saved his number and dialed it right away. After that, he lifted hisphone and held out the flashing screen for Leanna to confirm the authenticity of the number.

As she received the phone, Leanna pursed her lips before saying, "He will cry if he wakes up and replacesthat I'm not by his side… He likes small toys. If you could patiently distract him with some toys for awhile to shift his attention, it will be fine. Don't be harsh on him, or he will cry even louder… H-he isvery well-behaved. As long as he feels that you are nice to him, he will slowly come closer to you…"

With that, she continued to give more instructions. Waylen listened carefully, and he even used thephone's memo to take notes.

After Leanna finished speaking, he put away the phone and said, "I got it. There's a shopping mallnearby. I'll get all the necessary items once it's dawn."

She nodded. Then, she turned around to look at the white building behind her, unwilling to leave.

Glancing at the time, he said again, "I've got to return now."

After speaking, he looked at the black car not far away and continued, "Lachlan is waiting for you in thecar. You should go now."

Leanna stopped him in his tracks. Her voice was slightly choked up as she said, "Please, you mustcure him."

"Don't worry. I will do my best. Well, I have to go now. See you," Waylen assured.

Watching Waylen enter the laboratory finally convinced Leanna to look away. She lowered her head fora few moments before walking to the black car and opening the door.

The early morning in Jamesdon was somewhat chilly. As the streetlights stood next to each other, theirshimmering light reflected on the river's surface.

Leaning against the car window, Leanna gazed outside without focus. Her hair was slightly disheveledby the wind.

Lachlan glanced at her with a sidelong gaze and lightly tapped his knee with his slender fingers as heremained silent.

After an unknown period of time, the car stopped before crossing the river bridge.

At this moment, dawn had already broken as a ray of sunlight silently appeared through the clouds.

Leanna finally snapped out of her thoughts. As she turned her head, she asked, "When can I pick himup?"

"Anytime you want. However, I will remind you again that we won't provide any further assistance onceyou take him away. You can relay the same message to Aidan," Lachlan replied calmly.

She looked out the window again, realizing that uncovering the truth from twenty years ago was theonly way for everything to have a new turning point.

Then, she opened the car door and walked for a few minutes before seeing a figure leaning against a

car in the distance. After giving bock her phone, Woylen soved his number ond dioled it right owoy. After thot, he lifted hisphone ond held out the floshing screen for Leonno to confirm the outhenticity of the number.

As she received the phone, Leonno pursed her lips before soying, "He will cry if he wokes up ond replacesthot I'm not by his side… He likes smoll toys. If you could potiently distroct him with some toys for owhile to shift his ottention, it will be fine. Don't be horsh on him, or he will cry even louder… H-he isvery well-behoved. As long os he feels thot you ore nice to him, he will slowly come closer to you…"

With thot, she continued to give more instructions. Woylen listened corefully, ond he even used thephone's memo to toke notes.

After Leonno finished speoking, he put owoy the phone ond soid, "I got it. There's o shopping mollneorby. I'll get oll the necessory items once it's down."

She nodded. Then, she turned oround to look ot the white building behind her, unwilling to leove.

Gloncing ot the time, he soid ogoin, "I've got to return now."

After speoking, he looked ot the block cor not for owoy ond continued, "Lochlon is woiting for you in thecor. You should go now."

Leonno stopped him in his trocks. Her voice wos slightly choked up os she soid, "Pleose, you mustcure him."

"Don't worry. I will do my best. Well, I hove to go now. See you," Woylen ossured.

Wotching Woylen enter the loborotory finolly convinced Leonno to look owoy. She lowered her heod foro few moments before wolking to the block cor ond opening the door.

The eorly morning in Jomesdon wos somewhot chilly. As the streetlights stood next to eoch other, theirshimmering light reflected on the river's surfoce.

Leoning ogoinst the cor window, Leonno gozed outside without focus. Her hoir wos slightly disheveledby the wind.

Lochlon glonced ot her with o sidelong goze ond lightly topped his knee with his slender fingers os heremoined silent.

After on unknown period of time, the cor stopped before crossing the river bridge.

At this moment, down hod olreody broken os o roy of sunlight silently oppeored through the clouds.

Leonno finolly snopped out of her thoughts. As she turned her heod, she osked, "When con I pick himup?"

"Anytime you wont. However, I will remind you ogoin thot we won't provide ony further ossistonce onceyou toke him owoy. You con reloy the some messoge to Aidon," Lochlon replied colmly.

She looked out the window ogoin, reolizing thot uncovering the truth from twenty yeors ogo wos theonly woy for everything to hove o new turning point.

Then, she opened the cor door ond wolked for o few minutes before seeing o figure leoning ogoinst o

cor in the distonce. After giving back her phone, Waylen saved his number and dialed it right away. After that, he lifted hisphone and held out the flashing screen for Leanna to confirm the authenticity of the number.

At last, she saw him again.

At the same time, Aidan also saw Leanna and immediately walked over. The next second, he pulledher into his arms and held her tightly as he asked in a tense tone, "Did they do anything to you?"

Shaking her head gently, she placed her hand on his waist and struggled to speak. "C-Can you let go alittle… I-I'm running out of breath..."

Aidan closed his eyes and held her even tighter. "I should be the one running out of breath."

"I'm fine, don't worry," she replied slowly.

After releasing her, Aidan carefully checked if she was injured anywhere. Seeing that she was fine, hekissed her on the forehead, and his tense expression finally eased. "What about the child? Isn't he withyou?"

"He is receiving treatment, and I—"

Leanna's words were interrupted by a sudden dizziness. She felt weak all over before losingconsciousness.

Aidan immediately caught her and held her in his arms as he strode quickly toward the car.

Seeing that, Jonathan hurriedly opened the car door.

Looking at her pale face, Aidan sternly ordered, "Take her to the hospital."

…

In the other car by the bridge, Charlotte was sound asleep as she leaned against the car seat. As thesunlight gradually became too bright, she scratched her face and turned in another direction. Then, sheburied her head in her shoulder to continue sleeping.

After some time, she faintly heard a knocking sound.

With her eyes still closed, she grumbled, "Can't you hear someone knocking? Go and open the door."

However, there was no response from her servant except for the continuous knocking sound everyonce in a while.

Her irritation grew instantly as she got up. "Stop knocking! Can't you just let me sleep in peace in themorning?"

The knocking sound persisted.

Charlotte abruptly opened her eyes, only to replace herself in a car but not in her room. Separated by thecar window, Lachlan was standing next to her.

It took her a few seconds to react and gradually wake up. Moving her stiff neck and opening the cardoor, she looked at the man, who had been knocking incessantly, now sitting in front of the car.

Charlotte couldn't help but gulp. Based on their seniority, she should address him as her elder, but shehad barely spoken to him in reality. It was not because she didn't want to, but because she was tooafraid.

This man seemed to have a natural aura of dignity, coldness, and aloofness.

She even heard rumors that the wine bottles in his house were filled with human blood.

When she heard someone mentioning that Lachlan was going to marry her, she immediately refusedthe idea without a second thought. She didn't want to end up living the rest of her life alone as a widowfor such a terrifying person!

Charlotte hesitated as she wasn't sure how to address him.

None of the addresses she had in mind seemed appropriate.

Turning his head to look at her, Lachlan asked indifferently, "Are you awake?"

Charlotte lowered her head as she replied, "Yes, but not completely."

"I can see that. If you were fully awake, you wouldn't have just gone with someone you just met," hesaid sarcastically.

At that, she retorted, "What's wrong with that? I've heard what others talked about him. He comes fromHighside, and he is not a bad person. Besides, he is good-looking. I like him, so why can't I go withhim?"

Lachlan gave her a fleeting glance.

She felt her scalp tingle under his gaze. However, she still insisted and tried to act tough. "Anyway…Anyway, I like him! I won't marry you, so just forget about it!"

With that, Charlotte snorted and left without looking back.

After she left, one of his subordinates approached and greeted, "Mr. Woodley."

"Send two people to follow her and make sure she gets home safely," Lachlan ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Woodley."

"Wait," he said slowly. "Who said that I'm going to marry her?"

At once, his subordinate froze. Then, he hesitantly responded, "I… I'm not sure who spread the rumor,but it has already circulated throughout the entire Woodley Family."

Looking toward the distant river scenery, Lachlan was lost in his thoughts for a few seconds beforesaying, "I see."

Soon after, his phone rang.

Lachlan glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

The voice on the phone asked, "I heard that Charlotte was kidnapped last night. What was going on?"

"It was just a misunderstanding," Lachlan replied indifferently.

"What do you mean by misunderstanding? Charlotte is your fiancée, and it's your responsibility toprotect her. How could you be so negligent?"

"I've already mentioned that I won't marry her," Lachlan emphasized.

"It has been set. I've talked to her father about it, and now, we just have to pick a date for the wedding,so be prepared for it."

"Let's talk about this later. We still haven't figured out what's going on in Highside," Lachlan responded.

"Can't you see it yet? It's because of what happened in Highside that someone deliberately used thisincident to get back at you."
