I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 604 Awake, But Not Completely

After giving back her phone, Waylen saved his number and dialed it right away. After that, he lifted his phone 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 finds that I'm not by his side… He likes small toys. If you could patiently distract him with some toys for a while to shift his attention, it will be fine. Don't be harsh on him, or he will cry even louder… H-he is very 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 the phone's memo to take notes.

After Leanna finished speaking, he put away the phone and said, "I got it. There's a shopping mall nearby. 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 the car. You should go now."

Leanna stopped him in his tracks. Her voice was slightly choked up as she said, "Please, you must cure 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 for a 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, their shimmering light reflected on the river's surface.

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

Lachlan glanced at her with a sidelong gaze and lightly tapped his knee with his slender fingers as he remained 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 him up?"

"Anytime you want. However, I will remind you again that we won't provide any further assistance once you 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 the only 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 his phone ond held out the floshing screen for Leonno to confirm the outhenticity of the number.

After giving back her phone, Waylen saved his number and dialed it right away. After that, he lifted his phone 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 pulled her 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 a little… 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, he kissed her on the forehead, and his tense expression finally eased. "What about the child? Isn't he with you?"

"He is receiving treatment, and I—"

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

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 the sunlight gradually became too bright, she scratched her face and turned in another direction. Then, she buried 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 every once in a while.

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

The knocking sound persisted.

Charlotte abruptly opened her eyes, only to find herself in a car but not in her room. Separated by the car 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 car door, 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 she had barely spoken to him in reality. It was not because she didn't want to, but because she was too afraid.

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