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 was probably 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 news eventually 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 stay there 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 find a place to stay for now," Leanna said as she looked at the baby beside her. "Thank you 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 ask Leanna and her child to stay any longer.

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

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

"Miss McKinney—"

"I hope you won't try to find out where I'm staying or whom I'm seeing. We should at least try and treat each 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 held him 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 should we 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 and dragged 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 the hospital 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 on her 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.
