Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 866

That night, except for Leanna, who fell asleep early and entered dreamland, almost everyone else stayed awake throughout the night.

At 7:30 a.m., the Pearson Group finally released a statement, responding to various doubts raised online.

The statement briefly apologized to their partner companies and the public, admitting negligence during the project's initial establishment. They assured that they were currently taking immediate corrective actions and would provide a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible.

From the statement, it was evident that the focus was on one point.

That was "during the project's initial establishment."

As everyone knew, the project was initially founded by Aidan.

In other words, Pearson Group's statement was bluntly shifting all the blame onto Aidan, claiming no responsibility and emphasizing their efforts to rectify the situation.

In essence, they were saying that the problem was caused by Aidan, but they were working to fix it.

Even before 8 o'clock, the discussion about this matter had grown rapidly online, and several media websites quickly published articles, pushing the news through various channels.

Sitting in the car, Justin watched the comments on his phone skyrocket in just a few minutes, feeling relaxed and satisfied.

The assistant's voice came from the front. "President Pearson, the hospital is being very cautious. Even the doctors have to undergo individual checks before entering. We currently can't take any action."

Justin didn't have much of a reaction, just quickly browsing through one new article after another, and said lightly, "He is still in the intensive care unit. There's no rush."

With that, he put away his phone and asked, "Do you think that after today's incident, does Aidan still have any other thoughts concerning him?"

The assistant nodded slightly. "I will handle it as soon as possible."


Justin acknowledged with a sound and looked out the window. "How much longer until we arrive?"

"Ten minutes." The assistant said, "Our people are waiting outside the helipad. Aidan and the others haven't arrived yet."

Justin silently smiled. With his phone pressed against his chin, he couldn't help but marvel. "I never thought this day would come so quickly. To be honest, I don't really want to tear down the last barrier with him."

The assistant's tone turned fierce. "He owes you that much, and now it's time to reclaim what's yours fully. I believe the late Madame would be pleased if she could see today's scene from the other side."

Justin didn't say anything, just slowly retracted the smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with indifference.

Soon, the car stopped outside the helipad.

Aidan's car arrived almost at the same time.

7:55 a.m.

Justin was pushed out of the car in a wheelchair by his assistant. He sat there, watching Aidan help Leanna out of the car, and he spoke with a smile. "Aidan, Leanna, we meet again."

Aidan slowly turned around, showing no surprise upon seeing him.

Leanna got out of the car with him, but unlike usual, she wore a mask on her face and a thick knitted hat. Except for one eye, everything else was covered. She had a scarf around her neck, making it almost impossible to see her actual appearance.

Facing Justin, Aidan pulled her behind him.

Justin smiled and said, "I heard that you plan to send Leanna away from Highside. Thinking that I won't have a chance to see her again, I came to see her for the last time."

Aidan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at him. "As long as you're alive, how could there be no chance to meet?"

The assistant behind Justin frowned and was about to move forward, but Justin raised his hand slightly, indicating for him to step back.

Justin said, "You're right. You know my health is deteriorating day by day. Maybe one day, I won't wake up anymore."

Aidan replied calmly, "Now that we've met, is there anything else you want to say?"

Justin hesitated and looked at Leanna behind him, then suddenly asked, "I'm curious; what's wrong with Leanna?"

"She's pregnant and can't be exposed to the wind," Aidan replied.

Justin suddenly understood. "I see. No wonder a few days ago I saw Daphne trending on social media; now I understand."

Aidan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take her away."

"Wait." Justin called him. "I saw the news about Leanna's younger brother having an accident. Is everything resolved? Can I help?"

Aidan coldly responded, "No need."

He pulled Leanna closer, seeming eager to leave.
