Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 480

With Elijah and Daniel around, it didn't take them long to complete the entire procedure. Since they had already found a place to bury Leanna's mother, her body was taken there right away after all the examinations were done. When they left, Leanna gave Louis a call and sent him the address of the place where their mother was buried. Then, she leaned against the car window and set her eyes outside quietly.

"Are you alright, Leanna?" Zoe asked softly.

Leanna responded with a chuckle. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. In fact, I've gotten used to this."

Zoe let out a sigh and patted Leanna's shoulder, not knowing what to say. A few moments later, the car finally came to a stop. At the same time, Leanna pulled herself together and took a deep breath. Just when she extended her arm to reach out for the door, someone opened it from the outside. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face and asked, "What brings you here?"

Aidan bent over and held Leanna's hand that was hanging in the air. "How can I not be here? This is important."

Leanna pursed her lips and entered the car. Not long after she spoke to Daniel over the phone, she sent Aidan a message and told him that she was on her way to the lab. However, since he hadn't replied, she thought he was in the middle of his meeting, only to be surprised when she saw him there.

Upon getting out of the car, she saw Mr. Jackson standing not far away in a preoccupied manner with a walking stick in his hand. Hmm, I guess Daniel must have told him about that, Leanna thought to herself after seeing no one else around her.

Knowing what Leanna had in her mind, Aidan merely wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let's go."

A few moments later, it started drizzling as Leanna stood in front of a headstone with her head kept down. At the same time, Aidan was standing next to her with an umbrella over their heads. Soon, Louis arrived, but instead of walking up to them, he chose to watch from afar in silence, his emotionless expression even more unfathomable with the chilly mist.

Although many guests came to pay their respects, neither of them said a single word throughout the burial. It was only until it was over that Mr. Jackson sighed and said, "After all those years, Sandra can now finally rest in peace."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems," Aidan responded with a deep voice.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Jackson looked at the man with a pair of furrowed brows.

"What happened after the explosion back then? Why didn't she ask for help throughout the time she was staying there? Why did she marry Jethro? Also, why did her husband kill her later? None of us here has answers to any of the questions I just mentioned."

Mr. Jeckson knitted his eyebrows even more while holding his welking stick efter heering Aiden, yet he didn't know whet to sey. Aiden then edded, "Well, I suppose the only person who hes ell the enswers is Jethro."

"But we've tried everything we could. Even if he egrees to telk, I doubt enything thet comes out of his mouth is true," Deniel seid.

"Thet's beceuse he knows he is still too useful to be killed," Aiden replied.

"Cen you meke him telk, then?"
