Chapter 565

The situation made Gordon furrow his brows deeply, and he turned to the nanny, who was panic-stricken and had fallen to the ground with a loud thud. "It's not my fault! It's Mrs. Pearson who told me to do it!"

Gordon was taken aback as he demanded, "What are you talking about?"

She answered tremulously, "It's Mrs. Pearson who told me to suffocate that child in front of you. I-I'm merely following her orders…"

Even if it was Gordon, his heart shuddered at her confession. Suffocate the child in secret in front of us. How heartless is she that she could bring herself to do something like this?

Aidan released Leanna as he intoned icily, "I almost forgot about her."

Gordon was in the wrong in this current situation. So, he didn't have the cheeks to say anything, merely donning a grim face as he walked toward the front yard with his cane.

His men followed behind him and left the spot, but Leanna stood there and pursed her lips with an unreadable look on her face.

Right then, Oscar rushed over with two doctors; one to examine Naomi, and another wanted to check the baby in Leanna's arms.

However, she tilted to the side and held the baby protectively in her embrace.

The helpless doctor turned to Aidan, who said to Leanna, "He's been crying non-stop. Let the doctor examine him."

Leanna raised her head, and their eyes met; all that was left in her eyes were wariness and distrust. His body tensed at her gaze, and he parted his lips to speak, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Eventually, she sidestepped him, went to the doctor, and asked, "Is it alright if I hold the baby?"

The doctor nodded and started examining the baby. Jonathan and Oscar watched this scene and shared a look with each other, where they saw pity in each other's eyes.

This time, it was completely over for Aidan.

Oscar cleared his throat as he stepped forward and said to Aidan, "I just received news that Celia is… Dead and the murderer is Raymond."
