Chapter 591 Don’t Want to Be Trapped Here Forever

The Pearson Family Estate had never looked so empty. Due to two whole days of rain, fallen yellow leaves filled the entire garden. The ground was wet and muddy, but no one was there to clean it up.

The Pearson Family Estate was utterly desolate, and there wasn't even a servant in sight.

Aidan swept his gaze across the area after getting out of the car before finally walking into the mansion.

In the backyard, Justin was seated in a wheelchair as he blankly gazed at the sky in the distance, his thoughts unfathomable.

When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head slightly. "Aidan, you're here."

Aidan stood next to him. "Where did the servants go?"

Justin replied, "Dad is now lying immobile on the bed, and I'm the only one left anyway, so I dismissed all of them."

Aidan pursed his thin lips lightly, remaining silent.

Justin said, "Oh, right. Things were too hectic back then, so I keep forgetting to ask. Is your wound all right now?"

"Yeah."

"Leanna and… That child. Are they okay too?"

"Yes, very."

Justin looked toward the distance once more. "I'm glad to hear that."

After a while, Aidan spoke up. "They told me you're looking for me."

Justin nodded slightly as he said softly, "You've seen Dad's condition. I heard that there's an expert on treating such conditions in Vinland, so…"

"You want to take him there?"

"I have to try, at least. It's better than sitting around like this and doing nothing."

"I could send someone there to request for the doctor to make a house call."

Justin fell silent for a moment before saying, "Aidan, I want to go out and see the world. I don't want to be trapped here forever."

Actually, Aidan understood what he meant. His remarks about taking Gordon to Vinland to see a doctor was just an excuse. The one who actually wanted to leave was none other than Justin himself.

Justin continued, "It has been more than 20 years since the accident. Ever since then, I spent most of my time here, and the furthest I've ever been was the hospital. Yet, when I look up, it's always the same sky that greeted me."

Aidan asked, "Are you telling me all this because you thought I won't let you leave?"

Justin chuckled. "Perhaps. I know that those people outside the Pearson Family Estate are your men, and I cannot leave without your permission."

"They're not keeping an eye on you, and they won't stop you from going anywhere either."

"Aidan, even though we're not at fault for everything that happened, I have responsibilities to fulfill as a child."

Aidan asked, "When are you planning to leave?"

"Maybe in two days."

"I won't be seeing you off, then. Have a safe journey."

Justin looked at him, a smile blooming on his face. "I believe we'll meet again very soon."



After Aidan left the Pearson Family Estate, Jonathan anxiously asked, "President Pearson, what did Young Master Justin say?"

Aidan massaged his temples as he looked out the window, saying calmly, "He's thinking of leaving this place."

"Leaving? Is it because of… Mrs. Pearson?"

Aidan fell silent.

No matter what excuses Justin came up with, that was the only reason he was leaving.

Sienna's death was just like what she said. After her death, Justin was reduced to being just her son instead of Aidan's brother.

Justin's reason for this request might purely be a desire to leave this place and see the world, or he might be looking for an excuse to put more distance between himself and Aidan. Perhaps, under Sienna's influence, he might even think that Aidan might attack him.

No matter which reason it was, he would be leaving. He could only leave after an incident like that.

Aidan said, "Dismiss all the men surrounding the Pearson Family Estate."

Jonathan replied, "Understood."

Aidan leaned against the back seat, closing his eyes. "Any news from Jamesdon?

"Not yet. The people we sent there said that Lachlan's movements are difficult to track, and it's virtually impossible to find any credible information."

"What about Oscar?"

"Same situation." Jonathan paused briefly before saying, "President Pearson, Jamesdon has always been the Woodleys' territory, and the circumstances are too complicated. So, it's probably not that easy to carry out an investigation on their home ground."

Aidan hummed lightly in response before finally parting his lips and saying, "Tell me as soon as you receive any news."



Meanwhile, Leanna was drafting designs in her office when Richard hurried in with a tense expression. "Bad news, Miss McKinney."

Leanna looked up. "What happened?"

Half an hour earlier, Jessamine went to the police station.

Reporters were waiting at the entrance of the police station after getting their information from an unknown source. As soon as they spotted Jessamine, they crowded around her and started interviewing her.
