Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 520

After Justin left the room, Leanna plopped into bed with throbbing temples, feeling weak and lifeless.

Something felt stuck in her chest, and it was hard for her to breathe.

Although Justin said that they wouldn't harm Aidan, Lachstein was so far away, and it was undoubtedly perilous over there since they were betting everything they had on this.

For every second Aidan was there, the chances of him getting harmed would increase, but she didn't even have any communication tools right now and couldn't contact anyone else.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door, and a servant's muffled voice sounded from outside. "Miss McKinney, Mr. Justin asked me to bring you dinner."

"No, thank you," she answered.

The servant didn't say anything and left, but she had just taken a few steps when the door behind her swung open, and Leanna stood at the entrance. "Give it to me."

The staff nodded and passed the tray to her. Then, Leanna locked the door behind her and started eating the food, which tasted like wax to her.

Even though she had no appetite, she had to fill her stomach.

She had no clue what drug they injected her with and its effects. Whatever it was, her head was spinning, and she needed to replenish her energy and recuperate.

When she finished her meal, she took a deep breath and felt somewhat energized. Then, she returned to the bed and stared out the window in a daze, hoping that the night would be over soon.

She didn't know how long had passed until a beam of light cut through the night sky all of a sudden, followed by the sounds of a car approaching, which were especially striking in the silent night.

But it's not one car. It sounds like… dozens of vehicles, Leanna thought, jumped out of bed and stood by the window.

At the same time, Gordon blinked blearily as he was jolted out of his sleep by the sounds of engines roaring. So, he hurriedly hobbled out with his walking stick. "What's going on?!"

His subordinate rushed over. "Sir, several cars arrived outside, and they're all parked at the front gate."

"Who are these people?" Gordon bellowed. "How dare they!"
