Chapter 569

At the same time, Aidan woke up at 7.30PM in the hospital and looked around. He saw Naomi and Jonathan but not Leanna.

Jonathan stepped forward and asked in concern, "President Pearson, how are you feeling?"

Aidan replied lightly with a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Then, after Jonathan elevated the bed, he uttered, "I'll get the doctor."

Naomi walked over and sat on the couch beside him after Jonathan left. "Leanna left with the child."

Aidan was not surprised, and he sighed in response.

She gave a soft sigh and inquired, "Well, what are you going to do next?"

"I'll see how it goes." I'm still at the hospital, so I can't do anything. After a pause, he continued, "Are… Are they hurt?"

"The baby is scared but fine. However, Leanna… I think her trauma is probably greater. Jonathan told me that the baby would have been suffocated to death by that nanny if she wasn't there."

Aidan closed his eyes wearily as he mumbled, "It's my fault." I know why Dad left the kid alone, so I never expected anyone would do anything to the kid. They did it before me, no less. Sienna might have decided to kill herself then, so she was fearless.

Naomi interrupted him and stated, "Of course, the baby should be fine. As for the rest… Since you're being hospitalized, you might as well use this period to give Leanna some time."

He muttered dejectedly, "She probably won't forgive me." I remember what she said very well, and I'm clear about her temper. I thought of taking the kid away from Pearson Family Estate before I finally came clean. Then, I can at least gain a chance to defend myself from facing the gallows. However, everything spiraled out of control.

She replied, "I can't help you either. You've got to resolve it on your own."

Jonathan soon returned with the doctor.

After a check-up, the doctor couldn't help himself as he reprimanded, "I have to say, you're far too daring for your own good. You were shot, but you waited for such a long time before receiving treatment. If you were rushed here just a minute later, you might lose this hand of yours."

Aidan uttered, "So, I was lucky."

"Well, that's true."

Naomi chimed in, "I'll get you breakfast."

After the doctor and Naomi left, Aidan asked, "How's it going out there?"

Jonathan replied, "Old Mr. Pearson is awake, but he isn't very well and can only move his eyes. The doctor claimed that his agitation caused a cerebral ischemic stroke. As a result, he can only spend the rest of his life in bed."

































However, Aidan didn't even bat an eye and changed the topic, "How about the Pearsons?"

"It rained the whole night yesterday. Mrs. Pearson's corpse is only being carried away this morning." Jonathan continued, "We suppressed last night's incident, and not even a whisper was spoken about it."

"Get some people to keep an eye on them. Sienna's death isn't a last-ditch effort but well thought out," he said icily. "There's a greater conspiracy behind this since she went to such lengths. Be vigilant toward all the servants, drivers, and bodyguards in Pearson Family Estate. Look into it right away if any stranger gets in touch with them."

"Okay." However, Jonathan piped up once more, "Well… How about Young Master Justin?"

Aidan pursed his thin lips before finally responding, "Get someone to stalk him too. He can't go anywhere with ease. If he faces trouble, give him a hand, but don't let him know that it's us."

"All right." Before he left, he suddenly recalled something, so he stated, "By the way, President Pearson, Leanna was here before."

Aidan was slightly stupefied. "When?"

"Around 2.00PM to 3.00PM, but she left without staying for long."

Aidan slowly clenched his fists on his blanket. "What did she say?"

"She mocked me," Jonathan said. "Miss McKinney claimed that I can't even save myself, so I'd better not meddle in your affairs."

Aidan was struck speechless.
