Chapter 244

In the car, Leanna booked the earliest ticket to Weavside available.

Even so, it was 6.00AM the next day when they got off the airplane.

Standing in front of Naomi's house, Leanna had never felt her heart pounding that fast.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down before knocking on the door.

It so happened that Naomi just got up and opened the door to see her standing outside and exclaimed in surprise, "Leanna, why are you—"

Leanna pursed her lips. "Miss Fletcher, I want to see the child again."

Naomi was taken aback and couldn't form the words for a moment.

Without waiting for an answer, Leanna strode into the house and Zoe trailed behind her.

However, the little guy seemed to have disappeared. There was nothing left in the house.

Just as Leanna was standing there zoning out, Naomi walked over and muttered, "As you know Ms. Shaffer was sick, so her daughter-in-law came over last night and took the baby home."

Leanna opened her lip but didn't know what to say as tears brimmed her eyes.

Naomi sighed as she knew what she was thinking, but could not tell her the truth and patted her on the shoulder. "You can still have a baby in the future, Leanna"

She bit down on her lips to stop the tears from flowing and mumbled, "I thought… I was also sure that…"

In the end, she overthought it.

Naomi offered her some solace. "If you want to see the child, I can help you ask for an address from Ms. Shaffer."

She shook her head. "There's no need for that."

"Leanna."

"Sorry, Ms. Fletcher. I got to go," said Leanna resolutely before turning around and walking out with such sadness as her shoulders slumped.

Zoe smiled awkwardly at Naomi and gave her a quick nod before following Leanna.
