Chapter 868 Gradually Accepting

Leanna pursed her lips, and after a moment, she said, "Louis fighting with others will make me angrier."

Waylen clicked his tongue. "If your husband replaces out that he can't compare with Louis, he'll bedevastated."

Leanna was speechless.

She could not help but feel a bit guilty and softly retorted, "But you were the one who brought it up as ahypothetical scenario!"

Soon, she threatened Waylen, "Don't tell Aiden! As a doctor, you should have professional ethics!"

Waylen raised his hand to indicate his compliance dismissively, then proceeded to the next question, "IfLouis got expelled from school for fighting and later ended up in jail for another fight, which would makeyou angrier?"

Leanna looked at him. "I think you make me angrier," she said in a serious tone but remained calm.

Waylen was confused. "What?"

Leanna said unamusedly, "Why do you always mention something bad about Louis? He neveroffended you."

Waylen feigned guilt. "You are about to build up the emotions gradually. I have to replace something thattruly gets to you. Otherwise, should I ask if you'd be angrier about two stray dogs fighting downstairs or

an old couple arguing?"

Leanna was speechless.

This is indeed true.

Leanna frowned, trying to think for a moment, but she could not decide.

"It's okay if you can't choose it now. Think about this—Louis got expelled from school for fighting andlater ended up in jail, possibly facing a prison sentence.

"Take it slow. At what point do you feel your emotions escalating?"

Leanna's temple could not help but twitch. "Thank you, I was at the point of wanting to pull my hair out."

Waylen handed her the remaining half of the orange. "Don't rush. Eat something to calm down."

After Leanna ate the orange, Waylen leisurely said, "Next, the emotional test will level up. Are youready?"

Leanna didn't say anything.

Do we still need to level up at this point?

"If I told you that your husband cheated on you and Louis got into a fight, one of them is true, and theother is false. Which one would you be more willing to accept?" Waylen asked.

"I don't want either."

"Well, keep thinking. What if both of them happened simultaneously? Your husband betrayed you, andyour best friend stabbed you in the back while Louis got into a fight defending you and ended up in jailfor three to five years."

Leanna did not know if Waylen's helps in gradually building her emotions affected her. She could vividlyimagine that scenario in calm. However, she felt a rush of emotions building up inside her, making herfeel suffocated.

At that moment, Waylen quickly intervened. "Alright, I was lying to you. Your husband didn't cheat onyou, and your best friend didn't betray you. The test is over."

Leanna sighed in relief, realizing that this emotional test was quite challenging.

"But Louis did end up in detention," Waylen informed.

Leanna's smile froze on her face. "What do you mean?"

Waylen raised an eyebrow, looking serious, with no hint of joking. "I mean, Louis is in detention now."

Despite being stimulated by his series of hypothetical situations, Leanna managed to keep calm. "Is thetest not over yet?"

But Waylen remained earnest, without any intention of jesting.

"It's over. I just told you one of the two messages was true and the other was false."

Leanna closed her eyes, slowly replaying the past two days' events.

Yesterday afternoon, Daniel suddenly came to her studio and invited her to have lunch, then Zoe calledher, probably wanting to discuss something...

Their interaction seemed fine initially, but they were arguing when she returned with the water. Zoeeven accidentally broke her phone.

Last night, Zoe clung to her all night, and they forgot to buy a new phone while watching a movie,which cut them off from the outside world.

Also, throughout the night, Aiden did not come back.

Noticing that something was wrong with her expression, Charlotte reached out to support Leanna andasked, "Are you okay, Leanna?"

Leanna slowly opened her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she sighed. "I'm fine."

Though emotions seemed to be stirring in her chest, they were not as intense as before. She was ableto keep them under control.

She looked back at Waylen and asked, "So, this emotional test was just a preparation for this?"

"There's no other way. Aiden instructed me to prepare your mind gradually. He said Louis is veryimportant to you. If you suddenly replace out something happened to him, your emotions might become

overwhelming," Waylen replied.

Leanna pursed her lips, feeling a bit dizzy in her head.

"What's the situation outside now?"

"I don't know. I rushed over right after getting off the plane. I haven't even had a proper meal," Waylenresponded.

After a moment, Leanna regained her composure and looked at Charlotte. "Charlotte, can I use yourphone?"

Charlotte quickly handed it over to her.

Leanna opened Twitter and saw the top trending topic was related to Pearson Group.

She scrolled and found nothing about Louis but a post about Daphne ranking tenth on theentertainment chart. It was about Daphne's accusation toward Theodore.

After Leanna saw this, her previous certainty was once again confirmed.

Louis will not act so impulsively and resort to violence. It must have been Theodore, that sc*mbag.

But Theodore is supposed to be in jail? How could he still...

Leanna left the room, and just as she was about to call Aiden, the door opened.

Zoe peeked her head in and met Leanna's gaze. She felt a bit guilty and carefully asked, "Nana, you'reawake."

Leanna stood up. "Where did you go?"

Zoe handed her the paper bag she was holding. "I went out to buy a phone for you."

Leanna was about to say something but only whispered softly, "I already know."

Zoe hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded subtly at her.

"Nana, are you okay?" Zoe asked.

"I'm fine. There's no point in talking about that now. Do you know any other news?" Leanna replied.

Zoe said, "Daniel told me that your dad came back. He should be here soon. As for Louis, Aiden didvisit him, but he did not bring him out, as there were some media reporters waiting at the police station.It should be fine once the heat dies down in a couple of days."

"What about Theodore?"

"H-He's in the intensive care unit and hasn't entirely out of danger yet. Daphne and Daniel are both atthe hospital watching after him."

Leanna fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "I see."

Zoe was about to say something, but Leanna interrupted. "I'll go back now. I need to change clothesand head to the studio."

"Wait, Nana..."

Leanna looked at the two people in the living room and said to Zoe, "They haven't eaten yet. Help meorder some takeout for them."

Zoe nodded. Before Leanna left, she hurriedly handed over the newly bought phone.
