Chapter 864 Not My Son

Leanna said, "It's alright. I just wanted to tell him that my phone is broken, and I'm now at Zoe's house."

"Alright, I'll pass on the message to President Pearson," Jonathan replied. He hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Mrs. Pearson, President Pearson is expected to be in a meeting until late tonight. You can rest early, and no need to wait for him."

At the hospital.

Jonathan walked over with the phone in his hand and handed it to Aiden. "President Pearson, everything is fine on Mrs. Pearson's side."

Aiden nodded. He took the phone and put it in his pocket.

Not far away was the conspicuous light of the emergency room.

They had been rescuing Theodore for several hours, and it was not over yet.

Aiden shifted his gaze and asked, "How is the situation being handled?"

"Earlier in the afternoon, Daphne filed a lawsuit against Theodore. The police have also collected evidence, which indicates Theodore's harassment towards Daphne," Jonathan explained. "As for Mr. Sutton's side, he claimed that crucial evidence is no longer available. Unless there's new progress, it's almost impossible for this case to end in acquittal."

"What about Louis?" he asked.

"The media left about half an hour ago, and they arranged for Louis to stay in the police station's restroom," Jonathan answered.

"Investigate the detailed information about Theodore's bail, and don't let anyone involved escape punishment," Aiden instructed.

Jonathan responded, "I've contacted the reporter from Highside Daily. She's willing to report the New Coast project issue. But President Pearson, at this moment, there's still a chance for Young Master Justin to come out unscathed, but for us..."

There's no chance anymore.

Aiden's emotions remained steady. "If there's no chance, then just let it be. This battle should have been fought a long time ago."

"What about Mrs. Pearson's situation?"

Aiden thought about it for a while. "Tomorrow morning, I will send her to Jamesdon. Help me to arrange it."


"But... Mrs. Pearson will become suspicious." Jonathan expressed concern.

"Do you think we can hide this situation for long? Leanna is very clever. Holding on until tomorrow morning is the limit," Aiden said coldly.

Jonathan kept quiet.

Nowadays, with the advanced internet, it was impossible to keep things hidden.

He turned his gaze back to the emergency room. "As long as Theodore is still alive after tonight, everything will be much simpler."

Jonathan nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll arrange Mrs. Pearson's trip to Jamesdon now."

Aiden sat on a chair in the corridor, his face shrouded in coldness, and it seemed like he was pondering something.

After a while, Daphne arrived, followed by Daniel too.

None of them ever imagined that they would find themselves waiting outside the operating room, genuinely hoping that Theodore, that sc*mbag, would survive.

At half-past ten, the lights in the emergency room finally dimmed.

The doctor took off his mask and walked out. He looked at the few people with unpleasant expressions waiting outside. He paused for a while and asked, "Are you all the patient's family members?"

Daphne replied, "We are his enemies."

The doctor was speechless.

"Is he still alive?" Aiden asked.

The doctor nodded. "He's been stabilized for now, but his injuries are severe. Multiple ribs and internal organs are damaged. He needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit for now. He should be fine if there are no life-threatening issues within the next seventy-two hours. So, these seventy-two hours are crucial. It's best to have family members outside talking to him, arousing his will to live."

They remained silent.

Daphne even found it somewhat ironic that she was the one that wished he'd meet a gruesome end, stabbed to death by vengeful enemies. Yet here she was, being asked to awaken his will to survive.

Daphne stood in place for a few seconds but eventually followed the doctor inside.

Only Daniel and Aiden were left in the corridor.

Daniel looked at him. "What do we do now?"

"Does William know about it?" Aiden asked.

Daniel shook his head. "I haven't dared to tell him yet. If he finds out, he'll immediately return to the country, and then we won't be able to keep it from Miss McKinney..."

"You can tell him now. Tomorrow morning, I'll take Leanna to Jamesdon," Aiden said.

"What about Louis?"

"He's not my son."

Daniel was extremely speechless.

Before leaving, Aiden turned back and said, "I'll remind you once more. Make it clear to William that she's someone Louis wants to protect, even with his life at risk. He shouldn't waste too much time on this matter if he doesn't want to push Louis further away."

Daniel sighed. "I know."
