Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 603 I Have a Condition Too

After some thought, Waylen said earnestly, "You have no other choice now other than to believe me since I'm the only one who can cure him."

At that, Leanna pursed her lips lightly and her grip on the baby's cot tightened.

"I know that you find it difficult to accept everything that has happened recently. However, you should be clear by now that there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings, and this includes the incident involving the nutrient injections—it was all their doing. If we wanted to harm your child, why would we even bother to bring him to Jamesdon and not just let him be in Highside?" he continued again.

"Didn't you all bring him here so that you can use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Aidan?" she asked.

Waylen pondered for a second before exclaiming, "Yes, you're right!"

At once, Leanna was rendered speechless.

Seeing her expression, he chuckled and lifted his hand. "I was simply kidding. That was a joke, but you should give what I said some serious thought."

"I can trust you, but I have a question here," she said.

"Go ahead."

"What do you all have to do with Aidan?"

Waylen was taken aback, looking a little surprised that she would ask such a question.

Leanna slowly spoke up as she continued, "As Lachlan said, someone did frame and blame everything on all of you. So, why you? Why is it Jamesdon, a place thousands of miles away from Highside?"

"Well…"

"I can trust you and leave the child here, provided that you can answer my question."

After clearing his throat, he responded sincerely, "I've been wondering about this too. Perhaps it's because I'm so outstanding that some people are jealous of me."

Leanna averted her gaze upon hearing his reply. "I'm tired now. You can just leave."

Seeing that she wanted to drive him away, Waylen hastily responded, "Come on… The situation is really getting out of hand. If you don't agree, I'll be blamed later. If I get blamed, I'll be in a bad mood and won't have the motivation to treat the child."

However, she remained unmoved.

Just when he was at a loss, the door of the lounge was pushed open again. Following that, Lachlan walked in.
